24.1.4. The menu item 'Input'
In this menu item you can select one of the following control methods by activating 'Up' and 'Down':
Input: Firing
Key (Contact)
Direct control input by using a firing key or any other potential-free electrical
contact.
Input: 12-24V
Direct control input for voltages.
Input: DMX512
DMX512; later you will be able to switch on the power supply for wireless
DMX pens if you want to use this technology.
Input: Cable
(RS485 of PFC)
This option is only being displayed if the Advanced wireless module has
been installed. Use this selection if you want to use the G-Flame in
conjunction with a PFC Advanced and if serial data cables should be used
for the communication. 'RS485' is the cable interface of the controller PFC Advanced. RS485 is the
name of the technical standard of the interface being used here for the serial data communication
between devices on data cables.
Input: Wireless
(PFC or PFS)
This option is only being displayed if the Advanced wireless module has
been installed. Use this selection if you want to use the G-Flame in
conjunction with a PFC Advanced or a PFS Profi or the wireless USB
modem PFM Advanced and if the wireless link should be used.
Note: The feedback information during remote data requests and programming will always be sent on
both data exchange carriers: by radio signal and on the cable. You may select which way you want to
use for the feedback in the menu of the controller PFC.
For the explanations given hereafter we assume that either 'Firing Key' or '12-24V' has been selected
as control method.
24.1.5. The menu item '45° Tilt Switch'
In this menu item you can determine if the flame effect should be terminated or if the fuel valves
should remain closed if the G-Flame is tilted by more than 45°.
45° Tilt Switch:
On
The shutoff of the flame effect and the inhibition of the fuel valves if the tilt
angle is too is enabled.
45° Tilt Switch:
Off
The status of the tilt switch will be ignored. Use this selection only if you
want to operate the G-Flame with a tilt angle of more than 30°.
Note: The tilt switch is a mechanical component. Strong vibrations or accelerations on the vertical axis
may cause the tilt switch to respond even though that the device is standing upright. In these
exceptional cases it can be meaningful to disable the tilt switch.
