Communications Port Number
The communications interface port defines which serial port the controller will use for communication with the
DVACS F1 and F2 subset units. Select the communication port that will be plugged in to the unit.
SV001 Port
Ext Port 1
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the communication ports and press [ENTER] to select the operating mode
displayed. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see
page 335).
Communications Port Speed
The communications port speed defines the baud rate at which the DVACS service will operate. The default
value for DVACS is 150 bits per second. If the speed or configuration is different adjust this setting to suit the
host configuration.
SV001 Speed
150
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the communication port speed options and press [ENTER] to select the speed
displayed. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see
page 335).
Communications Port Parity
The communications port parity defines the parity configuration for the communication with the DVACS F1 and
F2 subset units. This will default to Even Parity however this can be adjusted to suit the host configuration.
SV001 Parity
Even Parity
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the communication parity options and press [ENTER] to select the parity
displayed. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see
page 335).
Device Address
When the unit is connected to the DVAC's network it must have a device address programmed. The device
address is typically provided by the monitoring station company. The address is programmed in Hexadecimal
and can not be above 0xF0 hex.
SV001 Device
address: 01
Type the appropriate 2 digit device address, after each digit you must press [Í] and [Î] to move to the next
digit. When the desired device address is entered, press [ENTER] to save the programmed setting and move
to the next screen. For more information about hexadecimal data entry refer to the section Hexadecimal Data
Entry (see page 335).
i
The device address must be configured for a value below 0xF0, failure to configure the address to an
appropriate value will cause the system not to respond.
