System configuration
After installing the new relays, you must program the S46 for the new relay configuration with the following
command:
:ROUT:CONF:CPOL <clist>
<clist> is defined as follows:
clist = (@0 | 3-6, 0 | 3-6, 0 | 3-6, 0 | 1, ... 0 | 1)
Relay: A
B
C
D
1...
8
All switch locations must be included in the <clist> whether or not all locations are populated. The
numeric value (1 or 3 through 6) indicates the number of throws, while a value of 0 indicates that a
location is not populated.
For example, if RELAY A and RELAY B are SP6T, RELAY 1 and RELAY 2 are SPDTs, and all other locations
are not populated, the command syntax would be:
:ROUT:CONF:CPOL (@6,6,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0)
S46T-MSPDT-KIT and S46T-XFER-KIT are programmed with a value of 3 (not the number of throws as other
relays). The MSPDT top relay uses the first channel assignment for relay's A-D, the second channel controls
the lower relay. The XFER relay uses the first channel assignment for relay's A-D.
Terminated SP4T relays are programmed with a value of 6. Ports 2, 3, 5 and 6 control channels are used.
See the S46T Instruction Manual (document number S46-901-01) for detailed programming information.
