5.3.1.2 Count sensors on Channel 1
•
All addressed and unaddressed sensors connected to channel 1 will be
counted.
•
Unaddressed sensors under strain (“in alarm”) and addressed sensors (“non
0”) will be shown. These sensors will not be able to be configured with a
new address and need to be relieved of any strain and decommissioned
before continuing with addressing.
•
The sensor count value in 3.2.1 will be automatically updated with the
number of sensors detected in this menu, when the configuration is saved
(see 3.3.4).
•
During the count process, which takes about 5 seconds, random beeps will
be heard for each sensor found in a decommissioned network.
•
Performing a sensor count on a commissioned network, will produce a rapid
and evenly distributed beep sequence.
5.3.1.3 Address sensors Channel 1
•
Before commencing sensor addressing ensure no sensors are in alarm.
•
Press the centre pushbutton to start the addressing sequence.
•
The default starting address is 1. This value can be changed manually with
the left and right pushbuttons if a different sensor address needs to be
programmed. Note that sensor addresses must be filled sequentially and it
is not allowed to have 0 addresses between non 0 addresses. For example,
addressing 4 sensors as 2, 8, 9 and 12 is not allowed.
•
Once the required address is chosen, apply slight pressure to the Taut Wire
sensor by hand, until a beep sound is heard and the address counter
increments. The sensor is now addressed. If there I no response when
pressure is applied, it is possible that the sensor already has a non 0
address. Refer to 3.3.1.1 to clear the sensor address.
•
Repeat the process for all unaddressed sensors. When finished, press the
centre pushbutton to stop the process.
