Annex 3:
Installation Software
Introduction
The installation software is available as accessory for alignment, setting up and fault finding and can be used with all
detectors of the IR 450 Series. It is recommended for verification of all installations in order to optimise the performance of
the detectors and can be used for remote programming and verification of all detectors connected to the same RS 485 data
bus.
A converter RS 232 to RS 485 is required for operation with a standard PC.
The following describes the features of the installation software program for remote program ming and signal display.
Application of the Installation Software
The installation software is a most useful tool for checking the alignment and sensitivity setting of the detectors. It greatly
facilitates the optimisation of an installation to suit a particular site.
The software is particularly helpful in situations where a detector is operated under conditions near the recommended
operating limits of height, detection range and target speeds. The information supplied by the PC display should be used to
monitor the detection performance of the detector and make adjustments if required.
Depending on the site’s animal activity, vegetation moving in the wind and/or other sources of disturbance it is possible that
unwanted alarms occur. Monitoring and interpreting the information supplied by the installation software will help finding the
best solution either by adjusting the alignment and/or sensitivity of the detector or by removing disturbance sources from
within the field of view.
Installation Software for PIR-018
Procedure
•
Connect the PIR-018 to power and connect the interface module to the detector’s test socket or the terminal block as
defined in annex 1.
•
Connect the output of the interface module with the serial COM port of the PC
•
Exit „Windows“ and
start PC under DOS
•
Load file installation program (INST45XC.EXE), enter language and number of COM port
Main Menu IR 45X
The Main Menu offers the following options:
[F1]
Scanning (range 1 … 20)
•
Pressing
[F1]
initiates a search for all detectors with different ID numbers within the defined range, which are connected
to the same RS 485 data bus.
•
After successful search all detectors found are listed in the table with their model, and version.
[F2]
Scan Range (any value from 1 … 254 for start and stop addresses)
•
Depending on the ID numbers of the detectors, the start and stop addresses can be varied.
[F3]
Configuration (Remote Programming)
Fore remote programming the
DIP - Switches 1 and 2
need to be set to position „
on“
•
Press
[F1]
and select the detector to be programmed using the arrow keys.
•
Adjust the parameters as required within the range indicated on the display.
