8 4 USING THE 2SX-SERIES SCANNER
When the LDU finds a Scanner, it will display the RMS voltage and current
for Channel 1 on the LCD. You may then use the keys on the pad to view
data in various ways. Push the Ch2 key to read the voltage and current for
Channel 2, then Ch1 to return to the Channel 1 information. Hold down the
SET key and push the left arrow to make the LCD screen lighter. Hold down
the SET key and push the right arrow to make the LCD screen darker. The
blank BLUE key will take you to the menu screen, or will move you back one
step once you are in a menu. The first time you press the BLUE key you will
see four options on the LCD screen. Only the first, 4CH, and the fourth, SET,
are used at this point. The others are for future functions. Move among the
options using the left and right arrow keys. Move to the 4CH option, then
the RMS option, then press SET to bring up the default Channel 1 display.
Press the BLUE key to move back to the previous menu, or the CH2 key to
move to the Channel 2 display.
From the main menu, choose the SET option using the arrows, then press
the SET key. Of the options that appear, only the PAR for parameters and
DIA for diagnostics are used at this point. Move to the PAR option using
the arrow keys, then press the SET key to select it. The LCD will show you
the type of hookup (wye or delta), the recording interval, and the threshold
settings. Press the BLUE key to go back. Move to the DIA option using the
arrow keys and press SET to select it. The LCD will show you the type of
Scanner, an S Series, and the serial number of the Scanner. Press the right
arrow to bring up the next DIA screen. This one will show you the Scanner
firmware version and the Scanner battery voltage. Press the right arrow again
to bring up the next DIA screen. This one will show you the LDU firmware
version and the LDU battery voltage.
4.7.1 Using the LDU as an Infrared Interface to a PC
When the 2SX-Series Scanner has been recording long enough to measure the
condition you want to monitor, you can download the information for analysis
by hooking the Scanner and LDU to the serial port of a personal computer.
First, power on the LDU. Then press the DNL key for transparent mode.
The LCD will read, “Transparent mode PC to Scanner.” Now connect the
RJ-11 connector of your serial communication cable to the bottom of the
LDU and the other end to the serial port of your computer. Then point the
infrared window of the LDU at the infrared ports on the Scanner to establish
communications. The LDU transparently passes information from the Scanner
to the PC, as if the PC were connected directly to the Scanner. Winscan
must be set to 38400 baud in this mode! Run WinScan on the PC and follow
the instructions in the WinScan documentation. Download the information
