Operation
During normal operation the operating status of the Per-
formanceAlert™ modules can be viewed in either of three
ways:
• Through E2 appliction status screens,
• Through PerformanceAlert™ Software loaded on a
laptop computer, and
• Through the Hand-Held Terminal interface on the
Gateway board.
The means for checking status on the E2 will depend on
how you have configured the Gateway board points. If you
created Sensor Control applications for each point, you
may view the PerformanceAlert™ status using the Sensor
Control status and summary screens. Refer to the
E2 User’s
Guide (P/N 026-1610)
for more details.
The PerformanceAlert™ Software is a utility which
connects the PerformanceAlert™ module to an RS232 or
USB port on the computer and allows direct viewing of a
module’s diagnostics information and setpoints. This tool
is documented and supported by Copeland
®
, and is beyond
the scope of this document. For more information, visit
www.EmersonClimate.com or contact Emerson Climate
Technologies, Inc. at 1-888-EMR-9950.
The Hand-Held Terminal can be used to look at the
overall online and alarm summary of all modules (
) as well as the status of an individual Perfor-
manceAlert™ module (
