located at the bottom of the screen, the controller will save the current configuration of all devices found up to
that point, overwriting any previous configuration.

Auto Configure System Screen
NOTE:
The Auto Configure System operation does not recognize DA-4 or DI-4 modules.
Sensors connected to the controller using DA-4 or DI-4 I/O modules must be manually
configured to the controller.
6.3.2
RL4 Setup Screen
The RL-4 Setup screen is displayed when RL4 SETUP is selected. This screen allows manual configuration of
the number of RL-4 modules in a particular bank and designation of their bank’s port location. The RL-4
relays can also be configured from this screen as well as the Auxiliary relays.
NOTE:
The controller utilizes two RS-485 Ports. These ports are virtually identical, but RL-4
banks must be assigned to either port 1 or port 2 and the RL-4 modules themselves must be
connected to the port that their bank is assigned to. Failure to connect the modules to the
correct port, or failure to indicate the bank and port that the module is connected to will prevent
the modules from operating correctly.
NOTE:
All RL-4 modules in a particular bank must be connected to the same port their bank
has been assigned to.
RL-4 modules must be addressed correctly for the controller to recognize them. Refer to Section 4.4 Alarm
Relay Outputs (RL-4) for the correct addressing of RL-4 modules.
To input the number of RL-4 modules connected to a particular bank, simply touch the ‘# OF RL4S IN BANK
#’ field for that bank and enter the number of RL4s using the numeric keypad that is displayed. To assign a
port to a particular bank, simply touch its corresponding ‘PORT’ field which will toggle the port value
between 1 and 2.
