4.2 Configuration Program
The configuration software is available on a CD, and needs to be installed on your PC before you
can use it. The CD contains a setup file called setup.exe. Select the configuration software
window on the Product CD and an installation Wizard will guide you through the installation
procedure. To upload and download configuration files to a module, you will need a RS-232
serial cable as shown below.

4.2.1 Program Operation
Start the software and the initial
startup screen will appear.
From the startup screen, you can
select an existing project, or start a
new project. The name of the
project will create a new folder
which will eventually contain the
configuration files for the modules
in this system. Project folders are
located under the folder \Projects\ -
for example, if you create a project
called “Fire Pumps”, then the files
for this project will be found in the
folder c:\……\Projects\Fire Pumps\.
When you have selected the project,
a screen will appear where you may
enter the system address.
If you are editing an existing project, the
system address will already have been
entered. Do not change the system
address unless you are going to re-
program all of the modules in the system.
