Configure Sensor Type
Sensor Registration
Sensor registration is continuously monitored by the DVP-120. When the currently selected sensor type agrees with the stored
registration information the DVP-120 will remain in normal mode. When new registration information is detected by the DVP-120, for
example if a different gas type of Macurco sensor was installed, the following message is displayed: “Configuration Changed Any key
to save” is displayed.
Figure 3-21.1 Configuration Changed
Pressing any key will prompt user to enter the password. Once the valid password is entered the new sensor type is saved. The
program does not allow any other activity unless valid password is entered.
If the DVP-120 is in configuration mode (user is changing the configuration) the registration information is saved in the background and
the message indicating that configuration was changed is delayed until user goes back to normal mode.
Custom Sensor Implementation
Custom sensor types or “wildcards” can be configured with the DVP-120. There are 8 Macurco sensor types and 21 custom sensor
types available. Though the Macurco sensor data cannot be changed, custom sensor parameters can be configured to define the
sensor type:
Figure 3-21.2 Configure Sensor
From this menu you can access any of the following menus to change type parameters using the navigation key up, down, left and
right.
Figure 3-21.3 Sensor Definition
CO for carbon monoxide is one of the 8 Macurco sensor types already defined.
Figure 3-21.4 Sensor Tag
“Tag” is a 3 character parameter and is used to identify the sensor type (i.e. CO, EX...)
Figure 3-21.5 Sensor Units
“Units” is a 4 character parameter and indicates the engineering units (i.e. ppm, %LEL…)
