3) Press the LOCAL/REMOTE button [3] on the VRC2000’s front panel
(Figure 9, below).
The LOCAL/REMOTE button will light red and the
VRC2000 should respond over the telephone handset:
• S
ETUP
E
NABLED
. P
LEASE
E
NTER
S
YSTEM
A
CCESS
C
ODE
.
This verifies that the VRC2000 is properly set up and ready to accept
programming. If you have problems obtaining the correct responses from the
VRC2000, check all of your connections, and try again.
Do not proceed until your VRC2000 responds as noted above.
Once the VRC2000 is properly initialized, familiarize yourself with the unit’s
operation. The VRC2000 is an extremely flexible and powerful tool. Take the
time you need to experiment with it so that you understand all of its available
options and capabilities. Reading the VRC2000 Installation and Operations
Manual now will save a lot of frustration and wasted time later.
The VRC2000 has six modes of operation
(Figure 10, left).
Local vs. Remote Modes
The local modes (one and two) are used while on-site with the VRC2000.
The remote modes (three through five) cover operation when connected to
the VRC2000 over a dial-up telephone line, two-way radio, or via an
auxiliary connection. Also see Remote/Local Modes
(Page 5).
Setup Modes
Setup modes (one and three) allow you to verify or change any of the
VRC2000’s programmable functions.
User Modes
User modes (two and four) allow you to take readings from any metering or
status channels, and activate command channels for your VRC2000.
Operator Mode
Operator mode (five) allows you take readings from any status or metering
channel. From operator mode, commands cannot be issued.
Automatic Mode
Automatic (ATS) mode (six) is the normal operating mode of the VRC2000,
when none of the other modes are being used.
