4.2 Programming the MICON
®
In order to program specific MICON
®
parameters, the MICON
®
must
be placed in “programming mode” to be able to transmit and receive
signals.
4.2.1 Manager Menu/Programming mode
The software on the main control board can be updated remotely
over TCP/IP Ethernet, or from a microSD update card. In order to
affect any changes to software, the MICON
®
must be booted in
programming mode.
The MICON
®
can be started in programming mode by enabling the
programming mode switch located on the intrinsic safety module
inside the MICON
®
enclosure. It may be necessary to break weights
and measures sealing in order to enable programming mode which
may require re-inspection by the appropriate authority.
When the board boots in programming mode, the console RS-232
port is activated and the SSH remote access service is started. The
watchdog timer is not started by the main application when running
in programming mode. Each MICON
®
control board has a unique
root access username and password that is programmed at the
factory. While in programming mode, configuration parameters in
the manager menu and pricing menu are also enabled. The price-
per-unit line of the primary display will display “CFG” in the lower
left corner to indicate that the board is in programming mode.
Refer to the MICON NEXTGEN 1.0
®
owner’s manual for complete
details on configuration settings available in the menu systems.
To access the programming switch, perform the following
procedure:
1.
Disconnect power from the dispenser at the breaker /
distribution panel.
2.
Shut off gas to the dispenser and ensure that the area is free of
hazardous gas / vapour.
2. Open the dispenser door and remove the two sealing bolts from
the MICON
®
enclosure located in the centre of the dispenser. If
the dispenser has already been sealed by a weights and measures
inspector, it may be necessary to break the lead seals.
3. Toggle the programming switch located at the center of the
intrinsic safety module. Please see Figure 3.4. The switch should
be in the rightmost position.
