installer to provide the required 24VDC. After power is applied, the green “Alive” light in the upper right of the AcquiSuite
should come on and the LCD display will display a series of diagnostic screens ending with the following message on the
LCD display (this boot sequence may require up to 20 seconds to complete):
AcquiSuite Ready
192.168.40.50
This indicates that the AcquiSuite has loaded properly and is ready for configuration and connection to the network and
sensors. If the “Alive” light does not come on or the LCD display does not cycle to the above screen, verify that the power
cord is plugged in. If after cycling the power the unit still does not power up (or if an error message appears in the LCD
display) contact technical support. After the A8810 has been powered up for a minute, the green Alive LED should blink
slowly once per second during normal operation.

Step 6
Verify connected devices: To verify that the Modbus devices are installed and reporting correctly, use the Modbus
status utility on the AcquiSuite™ server. To do this test, follow these steps:
A.
Press and release the menu (top) button on the AcquiSuite. The following will appear on the LCD display:
[Main Menu]
TCP/IP Config
B.
Press the menu (top) button several more times until the LCD display shows the following message:
[Main Menu]
Modbus Status
C.
Press the select (bottom) button on the server and the unit will begin the diagnosis of the Modbus loop.
After the check is completed, the unit will display the following message:
X devices OK
X fail, X new
D.
Verify that the number of devices located by the server (the total of OK, fail and new) matches the number
of devices actually installed and connected. For a first time installation, all devices should appear as “new”.
