6 Commissioning
►
Supply voltage to the device to start up the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF.
Once all of the connections have been made as required, the entire wiring configuration can
be checked as follows:
6.1 Measuring Resistance
As long as no detector or repeater is connected to the bus wiring, the resistance of the entire
bus wiring can be checked with the aid of a resistance meter at the installation location of the
ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF. The measured resistance is
∞
.
The single branch lines wired parallel to one another can now be individually short-circuited
at the respective end, one after the other. This has to appear on the resistance meter at the
end of the bus trunk line. This ensures that there are no interruptions or short circuiting in the
bus line.
6.2 Measuring Voltage
After the bus wiring has been checked and proven to be correct, the voltage supply to the
ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF can be switched on. The green LED (normal) should light up to
indicate that the device is ready for operation.
There should be voltage of approx. 40 V at the output terminals of the ADICOS
M-BUSMASTER XF. Once the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF has been switched on, there has to
be voltage between 28 and 40 V
DC
at every detector connected and at the input terminals MB-
IN of the M-Bus repeater. The voltage can be measured with a multimeter.
When using
ADICOS
detectors, measure the voltage at terminals on the connector assemblies
or the respective contacts on the connection cables.
6.3 Integrating M-BUSMASTER XF into a Network
First connect a service PC to the ADICOS central unit and install the central software on the
service PC.
6.3.1
Integrating M-BUSMASTER XF via Serial Interface RS-232
Prerequisite
The customer has to have installed a service PC with ADICOS central software.
The serial RS-232 interface is standard on the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF. Connect the
ADICOS M-BUSMASTER XF to the COM port on the service PC and start the GSME central
software.
1
First set the interface parameters in the software as needed. Select the COM port used
and a baud rate of 4800 baud.
