Configuring the Laptop Computer and Perception software 

1.

 

In  Microsoft  Windows,  set  the  serial  port  to  which  the  RS-232  cable  is 
connected to the following values: 

•

 

Fixed  baud  rate  (must  be  identical  to  the  value  of  the 

Setup  >  Comm 

Setup > DB9 Baud

 

Rate 

Hydran M2-X parameter) 

•

 

data bits 

•

 

No parity 

•

 

1 stop bit 

•

 

No flow control 

Note:  In  Windows  for  example,  proceed  as  follows  to  access  the  serial  port 
settings:  log  on  as  administrator,  click 

Start

,  point  to 

Settings

,  click 

Control 

Panel

,  double-click 

System

,  click  the 

Hardware

  tab,  click 

Device  Manager

  and 

click 

Ports (COM &

 

LPT)

. 

2.

 

Launch the Perception software.  

3.

 

In  Perception  under  the  properties  tab,  configure  the  communication 
parameters. 

5.2.3.3

 

Verifying the RS-232 Communications 

Proceed as follows: 
1.

 

Using the Perception software, verify that communication is established with 
the Hydran M2-X.  If communication cannot be established, ensure  that the 
Hydran  M2-X  is  connected  to  the  appropriate  serial  port  on  the  laptop 
computer  and  that  it  has  the  proper  ID  and  baud  rate.  Confirm  good 
communications  in  the 

Relays/Analog

  window  of  the  Perception  software, 

change the

 

Relay Mode

 

of each relay from

 

Force Off

 

to

 

Force On

 

and

 

back; 

this should toggle the state of the Hydran M2-X

’s alarm relays.

 

2.

 

After  the  test,  in  the  Hydran  M2-X  Host  software,  set  the 

Relay  Mode

  of  all 

relays back to 

Normal

. 

 

5.2.4

 

Installing a Hydran 201i Controller 

1.

 

Install  a  Hydran  201C

i

  Controller  (preferably  a  Hydran  201C

i

-C  or  a  Hydran 

201C

i

-1) equipped with an internal modem (optional; available from General 

Electric).    For  details  on  how  to  install  a  Hydran  201C

i

  Controller,  see  the 

Hydran 201i System Instruction Manual

. 

Note:    Electrical  noise  is  one  of  the  most  important  factors  when  selecting  the 
location and installing a modem. Ideally, the Hydran 201Ci Controller should be 
located  in  a  limited  zone  of  an  electrical  substation  (for  example,  the  control 
room). 

2.

 

If  necessary,  connect  the  Hydran  201C

i

  Controller  to  its  modem  using  the 

supplied cable.  The reception (Rx) and transmission (Tx) pins of this cable are 
not criss-crossed.
