INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
3.3.1 Establishing Communications
Since each 3960 in the system (or optional
local control panel) must have a unique address, it
is probably best to set all addresses at a test bench
located at the central distribution location prior to
sending each of them out to the field installation
sites. Providing a central control location for all
address assignments may ensure that no duplica-
tions occur.
Before the address can be set or any other
setups made, it is necessary to establish communi-
cations with the 3960. The home window of Win
MPC provides the initial setup selections. Proceed
as follows:
1. Under the
Special Functions
menu area of the
Cohu - WinMPC
(home) window, click on
Camera
Setup
. A new window should appear titled
Setup
.
2. Under the
Setup
window set:
a.
Receiver
selections to
iDome/iView/IView2
(this
is the series to which the 3960 belongs)
b. At the
Comm
area of the window:
i. Select the Port being used on the PC (Com1,
Com 2, Com 3, Com 4)
ii. Select a Baud Rate of 9600 (Click “Set Baud”)
c. At the
Comm Mode
area of the Window:
i. Select PC to MPC Receiver
d. At the
Camera
area of the window:
i. Select Day/Night (default)
ii. Under Video select NTSC or PAL, as appropri-
ate
e. Under the
Pan/Tilt
area of the window:
i. Select Var Speed P/T (default)
ii. Select a Max Pan Speed of 15 (default)
iii. Select a Max Tilt Speed of 15 (default)
f. Under the
Pan/Tilt Background
area select any
desired image type for the center pan/tilt area of the
home page.
g. Under the
Set Elevation (0-10,000 ft)
area of
the window:
h.
Set Elevation
for the elevation above sea level at
which the 3960 is to be installed. (This provides
calibration for the low pressure circuit)
i. Click on
OK
to exit the Setup window (or
Cancel
to
exit without making any changes).
3.3.2 Setting the 3960 Address
After initial setup, it is a good idea to allow Win
MPC to search for the existing address. This will
verify that communications has been established.
Click on the FIND button at the upper left of
the window. A pop-up window will appear while Win
MPC searches for all allowable 3960 addresses (1
to 223).
NOTE:
Win MPC is intended to be connected to one 3960
at a time. If it were to be connected into a system of 3960s
and the Address Set Function used, all 3960s (or other
equipment) in the system would have their identifications
set to the same address.
