Specifications

The Unit Configuration menu is where you set up the metering, status and command functions for each unit.
When an I/O unit is selected, you can configure channel labels, limits, alarms, timed events and meter colors. If
you are using the I/O unit for PC or pager dial-out, you will also set up Site Dialing settings for that unit.
If you are using the Voice Interface (optional with the GSC3000 system), you will access its configuration
options in the same way as you do an I/O unit. See the next chapter for a description of the available Voice
Interface configuration options.
To open the Unit Configuration Window:
1. First, connect to the site containing the unit you would like to configure (highlight the site in the Site List
and click the
CCoonnnneecctt
icon).
Note: You can also configure units offline – that is, set up all of the configuration parameters without connecting to
the unit. To do this, go to the File Menu, select Offline Configuration, and select the type of unit you would like to
configure. You will have to save the configuration file as an archive when you are done (41). Then, when connected
to the desired unit, open the unit configuration window and load the archived configuration.
2. Select the desired unit within the Site List. Then click the
UUnniitt CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn
icon ( ) in the standard
toolbar.
3. The
UUnniitt CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn
window will appear, showing you several menu tabs, along with a File menu and
toolbar icons.
Within the menu tabs you can:
• Assign a unit name
• Establish Site Dialing settings (to be notified of alarm conditions)
• Configure your metering, status and command channels (including limits and alarms)
• Schedule Timed Events
• Mute a channel’s alarm reporting based on user-specified conditions
• Customize the colors that represent metering channel ranges in the Default View
