Programming
3.1 INSTALLATION
Make connections to power and the loop. The input power supply level should be between
10.8 and 28.8 VDC. The detector has no DIP switches or jumpers to set. If the installation
is of a unit previously installed in another location, it may be advisable to reset the detector
to the factory defaults (see section 2.1.11).
3.1.1 MAIN MENU
The ORACLE has two bidirectional toggle switches per channel marked “MENU” (Back /
Select) and “SCROLL” (Up / Down). The “MENU” (Back / Select) switch is used to move to
the next parameter in the menu and select the values that have been chosen. The
“SCROLL” (Up / Down) switch is used to change the chosen parameter to the desired
value. Pressing the “MENU” (Back / Select) switch while the ORACLE is in normal
operation will cause the LCD to display the MAIN MENU. The dark navigation bar may be
moved to the desired function using the “SCROLL” (Up / Down) switch. When the desired
function is high-lighted by the navigation bar the “MENU” (Back / Select) switch may be
pressed to select the function.
The following functions are available for each channel:
RUN:
Returns to the operating screen and resumes operation as before.
RESET:
Returns to the operating screen, resets the detector, retunes to the loop.
SET UP:
Enters the set-up sequence.
QUIK SET:
Enters selected Set-up options that are used most frequently.
EVENT LOGS: Displays the event log screen.
3.1.2 ORACLE 4H DISPLAY SELECT CONTROL
The ORACLE 4H half width model provides four channel operation, but the LCD will display
information for only two selected channels simultaneously. The top half of the display can
be programmed to display information for either Channel 1 or Channel 3. The bottom half of
the display can be programmed to display information for either Channel 2 or Channel 4.
The selected physical channel number is always displayed in the upper right corner of the
display in white text on a black field.
To change the channel selected for display, press the MENU switch Up to the
Back / CH
position
while in the main display mode
(top level of the menu). This will toggle the
selected channel from 1 to 3 on the top display, and from 2 to 4 on the bottom display. For
all other menu levels the Up position of the MENU switch provides the
Back
function.
3.2 SET UP MENU
Moving the navigation bar to “SET UP” and pressing the “MENU” (Back / Select) switch
down will begin the set-up sequence. The set-up sequence is context sensitive, i.e. the
value of a parameter that is selected may affect which parameter is next in sequence. For
example, if the “Channel Output” is set to “Off” which turns off call and status outputs, then
all other operational parameters are skipped and only the “Channel ID”, and “Display Mode”
can be set-up. This eliminates the need to set parameters that are not relevant to the
desired configuration of the detector.
3.2.1 SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity may be set to any value between 1 and 20. Sensitivity 1 is the least sensitive
and 20 the most sensitive. A DEFLECTOMETER
