7 Configuration
A Main Menu
To access the MAIN MENU, press the
Enter key and
enter the password. The MAIN MENU offers the
following eight programming fields:
The cursor to the left of a field on the display
indicates that this field is accessible. The arrows in
the upper left and right corners indicate that a
window is accessible at the left and right of the active
window respectively. The keypad’s four arrows serve
to move the pointer in the MAIN MENU, and the Enter
key is used to access the selected field.
Tx INFO (Programming the Parameters
of a Sensor)
Sensor parameters are programmed via several different
windows. There is also an additional information window
indicating sensor life available for some sensors.
• Ident • Alarm A
• Com • Alarm B
• Detection • Alarm C
• Display • Servicing
The upper right-hand corner of each window indicates
the address of the first sensor. When the Tx INFO field is
accessed, the pointer is located to the left of the sensor
address, thus signifying that the address could be put
into editing mode in order to access the parameters of
another sensor. The sensor address is put into editing
mode using the Enter key, and the address begins to
flash when it is editable. The keypad’s Up and Down
arrows are used to increment or decrement the address
value. Once the correct value is obtained, the Enter key
validates the address. The address then leaves the
editing mode and stops flashing.
The following windows are accessible with the Left
and Right arrows.
Ident (Identification of the Network Component)
The identification of the network component is
comprised of two parameters: the sensor name and
the sensor type. A pre-programmed list of sensors is
available for both.
Com (Communication Protocol)
Each sensor’s communication protocol is auto-
matically established by the AirAlert
TM
96d controller.
(See the Network section).
If a sensor is compatible with several protocols, it
can be modified by the programmer in accordance
with one of the following four choices.
1 Vulbus
2 Mdbs ASCII 7D 2S NP 9600 bauds
3 Mdbs RTU 8D 2S NP 9600 bauds
4 Mdbs RTU 1S EP 9600 bauds
Note: For MODBUS equipped sensors, the
controller must be put into Vulbus mode to allow
configuration. Once configuration is complete, return
to MODBUS mode for normal operation. MODBUS
sensors should be set at even parity, one bit-stop.
Detection (Definition of the Detection Range
and Unit of Measurement)
The DETECTION MENU does not appear for an
AirAlert
TM
96d-RM8 relay module or AirAlert
