Installation
& Operation
Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Racks can be configured using a Windows compatible personal computer running Guardian software.
Only the Guardian method provides an interface for configuring all system options. Guardian software is available in two versions:
Guardian SE (Setup Edition)
Guardian SE is used to configure Capio Plus Systems. A Guardian SE computer can be connected to the RCM several ways depending
on the type of RCM :
1. Through the RCM serial port (non-Pathport RCM).
2. Directly through the RCM Ethernet port with an Ethernet turnaround (crossover) cable (Pathport Enabled RCM only).
3. Through the RCM Ethernet port over an Ethernet network (Pathport Enabled RCM only).
Guardian NT is used to configure, monitor, and report errors for the Capio Plus System. A Guardian NT computer can be connected via
an Ethernet network, or connected directly to the Pathport Enabled RCM Ethernet port.
Guardian NT is sold as a separate upgrade to the standard Guardian SE program, and cannot be used by non-Pathport RCM systems.
Contact your Authorized Philips Lighting Controls Dealer to upgrade to Guardian NT.
If you have already purchased the upgrade to NT, it will need to be enabled by the registration process. Refer to "Registering Guardian"
