FT7000, RACK MONITOR MANUAL 11033PA-ATEX
Configuration
The rack monitor operation is determined by setting the switches found inside the enclosure. The
switches are divided into six sections. Each section contains related switches. The rack monitor must be
powered off any time the enclosure is open. Do not modify the switches while the rack is in operation.
Each section of switches is outlined below, along with a more detailed explanation of each setting.
•
5-WIRE SENSOR CONFIGURATIONS
o
The FT7000 can display the wet/dry state of up to
12 five-wire sensors, and report up to 16 using the
RackView software.
o
The topmost switch next to “5W EN:” should be
enabled to set the rack to autodetect.
o
While configured to autodetect, the FT7000 will
show green compartment indicators for each of the sensors found on the diagnostic
wire. The first wet sensor will show red, and all remaining sensors will be off, as their
state is unknown.
o
If only a specific number of 5W sensors should be accepted, the ‘DIAG REQ’ switch
should be turned ON, as well as the appropriate numbered switch in the 5W EN bank.
o
Trailers having On-board monitors generally have no diagnostic wire, preventing the
rack from determining the number of sensors. In this case the compartment indicators
will be off.
o
Only one switch should be chosen.
•
2-WIRE SENSOR CONFIGURATIONS
o
These switches determine the acceptable number
of 2W sensors.
o
The two topmost switches are not used.
o
Moving a switch to the right will configure the
monitor to allow trailers having the selected
number of 2-Wire sensors.
Enable all that apply.
•
TImodule, GROUND LOOP/BOLT, EN13922, DIAG
CONFIGURATIONS
o
If the
TIM ENABLE
switch is ON, the rack
will require a validated TImodule as a
ground device once the number is verified.
This will require that valid serial numbers
be added using the RackView software.
o
If the
9-10 LOOP
switch is ON, the rack will accept trailers having API pins 9 and 10
bonded on the trailer. This connection
should be less than 10KΩ.
o
If the
GRND BLT
switch is ON, the rack will accept a ground-bolt/ground-wire/ground-
ball as a valid ground device.
o
If the ID enable, 9-10 LOOP, and GRND BLT switches are all off, the rack monitor will not
check for any grounding device and assumes the API cable grounding is good.
