Installing the M10 The M10 can control from one to 8 M7s. Included your M10 kit is one 10 meter serial cable, for connecting the M10 to the first M7 and one serial terminator for the last unit. This kit is for connection one M7 to the M10. Upgrading the M7s If you are adding the M10 to your current setup, you may need to upgrade your M7. If your M7 serial # is #0885 or lower, then you will need to upgrade the M7. Units with serial # 886 and onwards will support the M10 with no need to upgrade.
Installing the M10 Cables and Wiring The M10 is supplied with its own 10m serial cable and termination plug for the setup of one M7 to the M10 remote. There are two situations where you may need to make your own cables: • If more that one M7 is connected to the M10 you will need a short version of the serial cable to interconnect the units. You can order an accessory short serial interconnect cable our part # M10SC2 from Bricasti, or fabricate your own, to your desired length, to our below spec.
Operating the M10 The M10 is designed as a remote control for one or more M7 processors. The majority of the functions of the M10 are identical to the M7, and in simple terms, when an M7 is selected to be controlled, the M10 is simply reflecting the state of that M7. Please refer to your M7 user manual for complete operational instructions for the M7 as we will not re-print that information in this manual.
Operating the M10 Power up: Once your system is wired and the M7s are connected to the M10, there is no special sequence to powering up the “slave” M7 units. They can be powered on in any sequence and the M10 will start up when the first M7 in the chain is powered on. The power on/off memory is in each M7, so each M7 will remember its last state, and will reinstate itself to its last state when power is cycled. Selecting Machines: Each M7 that is connected is considered a machine.
Operating the M10 Setup Key: Most of the functions of the M10 are the display and control of a selected M7. The setup key is unique to the M10 and used for controlling parameters and saving system setups in the M10. . Saving-Recalling Multi-Machine Setups in the M10: You can quickly store the overall configuration of a multi-machine set ups using the quick save keys on the M10, saving complete multi-machine setups in the M10s memory.
Operating the M10 Simultaneous Control and Display Feature: When an M10 is connected to an M7, both sets of controls; the front panel on the M7 and the M10 are both active and mirror each other. Taking hold of the M7s controls will track on the M10 and when the M10 adjusted the M7 will follow it. .
Software Upgrades M7 Software Upgrade Installation Instructions On M7s manufactured before serial #0886 (the serial # is the last 4 digits on the sticker on back of the unit) it will be necessary to upgrade the software of your M7 to use the M10. Most initial purchases of the M10 will be for existing M7 owners, so it will most likely be necessary to perform an upgrade. It is quite simple and only requires a few simple tools to install.
Software Upgrades Note: If you can not find a tool as shown above, a very small screw driver or pointed object can be used to pry them out. Care must be taken when using this technique and you must carefully pry up under each corner, a bit at a time, moving from one side to the other until it comes free, and then remove it. 5.
