4.2.2 Configuration Module Procedure for Installation with 400/500 Series
Perform the following steps to program the configuration module of the GDL 69/69A when using the
400/500 Series as the control and display unit:
1. Power up the 400/500 in Configuration Mode (refer to the 400/500 Install Manual for
instructions)
2. Go to GDL CONFIG Page (the last page)
3. Enter in the Attenuation value, which is computed as in the following formula:
Attenuation = ( 6 – GLcomp )*10
GLcomp = GDL 69/69A gain/loss component value from Table 2-7.
Example: If GLcomp from Table 2-7 is -1.39dB (calculated from example in Section 2.6.4.2)
than;
Attenuation = (6 - (-1.39))*10
= (6+1.39)* 10
Attenuation = 7.39 * 10 = 73.9 rounded up 74 to enter in the 400/500 Series.
NOTE
If Attenuation from the above calculation is < zero or > 100 then the gain/loss
compensation is outside the range required for proper operation. Review Section 2.6.4 for
appropriate corrective action.
