4. CONFIGURING THE OMNI30 FOR OPERATION
4.1 Introduction
The Omni30 is configured by means of two 8-way “set-up” switches marked SW1 and SW2.
These are located on the left hand side of each Alarm Module (looking from the back).
Each 8-way switch has 8 individual miniature switches, numbered from 1 to 8. Each of
these miniature switches can be referred to individually: for example, the 8 miniature
switches on SW1 are referred to as SW1-1 to SW1-8.
4.2 Modes of Operation
SW1 and SW2 are used to set the operational configuration of the Omni30.
The Omni30 can be set into one of two modes of operation:
“
SWITCH-SET
” mode or “
SOFT-SET
” mode.
In “SWITCH-SET” mode, the entire operation of the unit is set by selections on these mode
switches.
In “SOFT-SET” mode, the operation of the product is set via the programming port or (serial
port if fitted) on the rear of the unit using the optional Software Configuration Software.
The product is put into “SOFT-SET” mode by a specific selection on the mode switch SW1.
(SW1-1 to SW1-8 set on). Some features are only available via programming or serial port.
This manual covers the “SWITCH-SET” configuration (for SOFT-SET configuration see the
on-line help in the Omni16C Configuration template supplied with the Omniset
Configuration Utility).
SOFT-SET mode offers the optimum in flexibility whilst SWITCH-SET Mode offers Omni16a
and b style functionality and limited options. The table below summarises the capabilities of
each mode and the limitations.
