VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR 2.2. VS1 VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR SOFTWARE The VS1 requires an IBM or IBM-compatible computer with at least 256K of available RAM memory, along with DOS 2.1 or greater. It requires an 80-column by 25-line monitor. This monitor can be Monochrome, Text, CGA, EGA, VGA, etc. 3.2. UVEPROM INSTALLATION IN THE CR10 Your CR10 will require a special UVEPROM in order to work properly with the VS1.
VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR If the unit is mounted where there is a standard modular phone plug available then connect the phone cable provided with the VS1 from the modular wall plug to the VS1, as shown in Figure 3-2. Connect the 14 AWG grounding wire (provided with the VS1) to the grounding terminal (GND) on the VS1. Connect the other end to the CR10 ground (G) on the wiring panel.

VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR Remote datalogger installations require a telephone transient surge protector (P/N 6362 for enclosure mount. P/N 2372-01 for direct replacement) unless the telephone company confirms a surge protector has already been installed at the remote site. See Figure 3.3. If a burial phone line and a telephone transient surge protector are used, attach the wires to the VS1 as shown in Figure 3-3.
VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR For example, if the number of your datalogger is "555-4321" you would need to make the following additions: "555-4321,,,*9". The commas add delays so the VS1 has time to recognize the "*9". The "*9" disables the voice synthesizer and sets the VS1 to operate as a standard 1200 baud modem. By inserting extra commas into the phone number string, you can usually correct communication problems with the VS1. This is particularly true if the call is long distance. 6.
