I. A. INTRODUCTION GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of this manual is to completely explain the function, installation, and operation of the MCS Model 200 Communication System. This automatic dialing, synthesized speech, telephone based monitoring system represents a new generation of computer controlled telemetry devices, packed with features and capabilities not found in any other telephone oriented monitoring system.
B. UNPACKING AND INCOMING INSPECTION Microtel takes all possible precautions in packaging each item to prevent shipping damage. Carefully inspect each package at the time of receipt for signs of physical damage. Report damage claims to the shipping agent involved immediately. Do not install damaged equipment. All instructions given on any attached labels or tags should be followed.
C. PHYSICAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION Mount the system on a wall or other vertical surface, away from and protected from harsh weather extremes. It is also recommended that the unit not be placed in close proximity to high voltage (480 V and higher) electrical equipment. Four mounting holes on the left and right side enclosure flanges are to be used for system mounting. It is recommended that the system be mounted at eye level to facilitate ease of programming and operation.
D. BATTERY INSTALLATION The battery is installed at the bottom of the system, in the battery tray provided as part of the interior chassis assembly. IMPORTANT! Before installing the system battery, be certain the power supply transformer is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Remove the four phillips head screws which secure the system's front panel and remove it to expose the system's interior.
E. ELECTRICAL POWER INSTALLATION Electrical power may be applied by simply plugging the system transformer into a nearby electrical outlet. If the system's environment has a history of, or has known electrical power line disturbances, then use of a transient protection module, available as on option from Microtel, is highly recommended.
F. TELEPHONE LINE INSTALLATION The connection to the telephone network is a matter of simply plugging the modular jack cable into the telephone line termination provided by the telephone utility (RJ-11C or equivalent). This section contains important information regarding the installation of the telephone line to be used by the system, and pertinent information for notifying the telephone company of what type of line is to be installed.
G. FAULT MONITORING INTERFACE CONNECTIONS The MCS system is designed to accept up to four channels of dry (unpowered), normally open or normally closed signal lines. The system provides a small, pulsed sampling current to determine if the contact is open or closed. Leads from normally open or normally closed switches may be routed through the conduit port at the lower right side of the system. Connect each wire pair to its appropriate channel input terminal pair on the Fault Input Terminal Strip.
H. POWERING UP THE SYSTEM NOTE: IF THE UNIT ABOUT TO BE POWERED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME CONTAINS HARDWARE FOR OPTIONAL FEATURES, READ THE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THOSE FEATURES BEFORE POWERING THE UNIT UP FOR THE FIRST TIME. After the system has been mounted in a suitable area, the battery installed and power, telephone and fault sensing lines connected, it may be powered up by switching the POWER switch to the ON position. This switch is on the system’s front panel.
II. PROGRAMMING THE DIALER SYSTEM For this section, be advised that the keystroke entries are CAPITALIZED and the system's responses whether visual or audible, are enclosed within [brackets]. The system must be in the Halt mode to accept programming information. If it is not in the Halt mode, depress the HALT key to force that condition. ["system ready"] A.
1. ENTER, DELAY, N(1,2,3,4, OR 5) [fault N (or power fault) delay ready] 1. XY (00 to 99) (seconds of delay) [fault N (or power fault) delay is XY (00 to 99) To verify the proper delay time, simulate the opening or closing of the fault input contacts and view the proper state indication (RED or GREEN) on the system front panel. The fault channel will change from a GREEN to a RED state after the programmed delay. It will change from a RED to a GREEN state almost immediately.
D. STATION IDENTIFICATION There are two ways to enter a station identification message into the system. The station can be identified as a number up to eight digits in length, in which case the system will refer to itself as, "this is station XX...X". Alternatively, the system will allow the entry of up to sixteen words from system vocabulary, to be connected together into one identification message.
E. PROGRAMMING TELEPHONE NUMBERS The system can be programmed with up to eight telephone numbers, which will be called sequentially when an abnormal condition is detected by the system on any fault channel not programmed as a "status only" channel. The following programming procedure should be performed to enter telephone numbers into the system. Note that there must be at least one telephone number programmed into the system for it to operate at all.
[the ring count is XY] 2. Tone or Pulse Dial Selection The system needs to be set for pulse or tone type dialing. Perform this selection by following these programming steps. Before programming the unit to function in a tone dialing mode, confirm with the telephone company that services the installation that the line to which the unit is connected to will accept tone dialing. 1. ENTER, MODE, 0 [telephone mode, ready] 2.
1. ENTER, DELAY, 0 [intercall delay, ready] 2. Enter a two digit number corresponding to the desired number of hours of delay [the intercall delay is xx hours] (Numbers less than 10 must be entered with a 0, as in 01, 05, etc.) To read this data, 1. READ, DELAY, 0 [the intercall delay is xx hours] 5. Delay Run Programming The Run Mode may be entered after a programmable delay. To do so, 1. Depress DELAY, RUN [system delay, ready] 2.
III. A. OPERATIONS SYSTEM FAMILIARIZATION AND KEY FUNCTION SUMMARY The power switch for the system is located on the Front Panel of the system. It is important to note that when 12 vac power is connected to the system, this switch does not remove 12 vac power from the unit--it is always present unless the circuit breaker, which the INSTALLER must supply, is turned off, or the transformer is removed from the power outlet.
MESSAGE The MESSAGE key is used in conjunction with others to program the message for each fault channel, and the system identification message. Additionally, depression of the message key alone when the system is in the Halt mode will cause the current ID and status messages to be articulated by the system. READ The READ key is used to recall any of the programmed information.
To place the system is the Run Mode, depress the RUN key on the system front panel. The Run indicator will verify successful entry into the Run Mode. Delayed Entry into the Run Mode The Run Mode may be entered after a programmable delay. To do so, 1. depress DELAY, RUN [system delay, ready] 2. enter the desired two digit delay in minutes (01 to 99 minutes) [the system delay is xx minutes] (values less than 10 minutes must be entered with a preceding 0, i.e. 01, 07...
within 60 seconds after it has completed its call. Again, the system will verify that the acknowledgement has been accepted by saying, [acknowledgement accepted, the intercall delay is xx hours]. D. TEST AND ADVANCED KEYSTROKE SEQUENCES A number of sequence commands are possible on the system front panel keyboard.
IV MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING In the unlikely event that trouble is suspected with the system, it must be promptly disconnected from the telephone network, and referred to Microtel or its authorized service representatives. A service manual detailing troubleshooting procedures is available to qualified personnel. Periodically inspect the system internally for any evidence of moisture, blown fuses, or battery failure as instructed herein. A. MAINTENANCE 1.
