CUSTOMIZING E300 MESSAGES

The user can customize the lockout alarm message associated with each pair of terminals of the E300
Expansion Module. Each customized message can be up to 40 characters in length.

Note: Messages longer than 16 characters in length will scroll across the ED510 display. Messages
longer than 8 characters will scroll across the ED500 display. 

The following equipment is required:

An IBM compatible PC with E300 programming software (available on the E700 or E720 soft-
ware programs).

EC485 (RS232 to RS485 converter with power supply).

An ED512-2, -4, or -8 cable.

EP programmer with an Engineering code of 28 or later.

1.

Connect the EC485 converter to the serial COMMunication port of the IBM PC using an 
appropriate serial communications cable. Depending on whether the IBM PC has a 9-pin or a
25-pin serial communications port, the cable should be configured as follows:

CABLE CONNECTIONS, DB25 to DB25

 CABLE CONNECTIONS, DB25 to DB9

2.

Connect the ED612 (RJ12 female connector provided with the EC485) to terminals TD(A), TD
(B), RD(A), and RD(B) on the EC485. The pins on the ED610 will line up with the terminals on
the EC485 converter.

3.

Set the jumpers on the EC485 converter to 

SD

 and 

ECHO OFF

. See diagram below.

4.

Plug on end of the ED512-2, -4, -8 cable into the RJ12 jack on the ED612, and the other end into
either of the RJ12 jacks on the EP programmer.

5.

Hook up power supply 61-6689 to +12V and GND. White stripe wire is (+) lead.

The Flame-Monitor control must be powered, and the operating control (L1-13) should be open.
For complete details on customizing the E300 lockout messages, refer to Bulletin E-3001.
