4 Recorder Controller/Interface Installation Instructions
8000-1796-01, Rev. B
Note: the cables wired at the recorder controller
should be arranged such that they do not cross in
front of, or block the IR receive sensor on the
recorder controller.
2.
Connect the modular cable and adaptors between
the AD100XA and the PC. The cable end with the
DB9M adaptor connects to the recorder controller.
The cable end with the DB9F adaptor connects to
the PC (see Drawing 3, page 5).
3.
Connect transformers to the power terminals of the
AD100XA and the power terminals of each
AD100IR16 to be used in the network. The two
transformer wires are non-polarized.
4.
Before connecting the modules’ transformers to
nearby AC outlets, check all system connections
.

The initial window of the RIU software appears:
RIU Programming
The user can now perform the following actions:
●
Set the addresses for the IR Interface Modules
●
Map the recorder types to be used in the system
(this typically specifies the make and model of the
recorder). The user will either select recorder types
available as pre-programmed default models, or
will specify different recorder types and “learn” the
IR command set for each non-default model.
●
Select module types, and assign recorder types and
recorder numbers to each output of the selected
modules.
●
Save the map file and transfer it from the PC to the
AD100XA.
Auto Addressing Modules
Auto addressing sets the addresses on all of the
100IR16 modules connected in the daisy chain.
1.
Select
Functions/Controller Setup/Auto Address
Modules
. A dialog box appears.
2.
Wait 30 seconds. Press the push-button addressing
switch on the right hand side of the first 100IR16
module (press the switch with a non-conductive
implement such as the eraser end of a number 2
lead pencil). The dialog box message will change to
“
Looking for Module 2
”. Press the addressing
switch on the second 100IR16 module. Continue
the procedure until all N 100IR16 modules have
been addressed.
