Configuration
This section describes how the software may aid the customer in selecting the physical dipswitch
settings to ensure the controller is operating as expected. This procedure may be used with the 25
kHz software whether the controller is connected to the PC or not. Using the software without the
controller allows the user to test a new dipswitch setting without actually affecting the actual controller
relays or stressing the connected control circuits. If the user wishes to test new configuration settings
without connecting to the RCU, simply perform step 3, disregarding steps 1-2, and steps 4-9.
1. Click under Configuration “Run Tests”. Then click the tab “Current Settings”. Then select
the settings that you want to be tested (See “DIPSWITCH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS”
for the description of these settings). To select where to test from, select the “Test Target”
menu option. To enter the test, click on the “Enter Test Mode” button. If testing from the
computer, press the “Test” button in the program. If testing from the controller, press the
“Test” button on the controller. In both cases, operation reflecting the “Current Settings” will
be seen on both the controller and PC. If the “Current Config” is desired as the normal
controller configuration, click on the “Dipswitch Visual” tab. Use the image of the “Current
Dipswitch” as a guide and set the controller dip switches.
2. Verify your switch settings by clicking the “Press to get your Physical Configuration” button
on the dipswitch visual tab. The display for the physical dipswitch should change to reflect
the new dipswitch settings. The images between the Physical and Current Dipswitch
settings should be in agreement. You can also confirm the physical switch settings by
clicking the “Physical Dipswitch Config” tab. The settings should agree with your desired
settings from the “Current Config” tab.
3. Click “Back” and then “Exit” to shut down M2115RCU-PC program.
4. Turn off the controller.
5. Disconnect serial cable.
NOTE:
If the user wishes to test the controller using actual radio clicks, it is necessary to disconnect
the M2115RCU-PC software. To disconnect the software, click back, but do not click “Exit” on the
main screen. Click “Communications Disconnect”. The STATUS LED should blink. The controller
is now operating normally
After the complete M2115RCU is installed, it is essential that daytime tests be conducted to confirm
that the system operates as expected. Results from these tests may require adjusting the sensitivity
potentiometer to achieve desired performance.
