FCS - Operation Manual
This automated process helps reduces the time it takes to add these devices manually
but it does not add analog channels or configure priorities for any of the devices. For
more information and assistance with this process, please contact our Technical Service
Department.
14 DELETING, RESTORING AND UPDATING SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION FILES
FCS systems shipped from the factory are preconfigured as per instructions given at time of
order. The FCS saves it’s current configuration upon power up or restart, adding the file to the
SD card. Configuration files can be deleted to save space and previous configurations can
be restored if necessary. Please contact our Technical Service Department for assistance on
deleting or restoring configuration files. If major system configuration changes are needed,
our Technical experts can guide you through the process of updating system configuration
files.
15 MAINTENANCE
The FCS requires no assembly and virtually no maintenance. It is important to ensure that
water and/or dust is not somehow entering the enclosure and physically damaging the
circuit board or internal components.
