4.6 Configure a site and download to the RCU
We now can set up the site configuration. You will of course have viewed the sample site configuration sheet and
have copied a blank one and filled it in (see appendix).
Note that you can progressively 'save' the config by clicking 'apply'.
Add Site.
• Click on 'Config' on the toolbar and select ‘ADD SITE' from the choices.
You do not need to set alarm conditions at this stage until installed.
• Enter the new site name and OK.
• Enter the password and OK.
Edit Site.
• Select the new site and click 'Edit Site'.
The opening window lets you set the connect method to the RCU, any required phone numbers and any required
RCU modem setup strings which is normally left blank.
Connection Type.
• Select the General Tab.
• Set the phone numbers if PSTN or Mobile.
Include any area codes and make sure you prefix the number with a 'T' to enable tone (DTMF) dialing. The Host
number is the phone number the Host will be using (the one the RCU will dial to connect to the Host) and the Site
number is the one the Host will dial to connect to the RCU.
Analog Inputs.
• Select the Analog Inputs Tab.
• Enter in the 12 character description and up to 8 character units descriptor, scaling values and alarm
thresholds.
With the analog inputs, it would help if you set the overall scaling values to be multiples of .255, 2.55, 255, 2550
etc. This will prevent fractional values being unnecessarily shown on the displays.
The alarm limits will equal the upper and lower scaling values until you edit them to something else. Note that the
figures you enter may change to the nearest fractional value to the entered value. If you set the low limit high and
the high limit low, the unit will alarm when the value is between those limits (opposite to normal). If logging is
enabled, it is recorded every time a threshold is crossed. If the thresholds are set to be highest and lowest
(default), then even if the input is ticked for logging, no logging will occur.
Digital Inputs.
• Select the Status Inputs Tab. (Digital inputs). These are called 'S' on the RCU front panel.
• Enter in the 12 character descriptions, alarm information and logging.
Control Outputs. ( Relays )
• Selects the Control Outputs Tab. (Relays). These are called 'C' on the RCU front panel.
• Enter the 12 character descriptions and the relay mode for each relay.
Note On standard systems, control outputs 17 to 24 are not implemented in the RCU.
Front Panel LEDs.
• Select the LED's Tab. These are the front panel LED’s.
Each front panel LED can be assigned to follow any of the 24 inputs directly or inverted or not at all. Use the
scroll bars to select each of the 16 LED’s .
