Using Gascom Software - Dunkirk 95M-200 Parameter Manual

CONFIGURING YOUR GASCOM SOFTWARE
After successfully installing the Gascom Software, close
all windows on your desktop and use the "Gascom_
v1.0" shortcut to open the program. Once Gascom is
open for the first time, complete the following steps to
configure the software for your equipment.
1. Click on "Gascom" in the menu bar at the top of
the screen and then choose "Configuration." A
dialog box titled "Gascom Configuration" will open
in the program window.
2. In the dropdown box to the right of "MCBA1400",
choose "Standard HR7A60Hz."
3. Then, in the dropdown box to the right of "Interface
Device," choose "GCI232."
4. Your choice for "Communication Port" depends on
the computer being used. Choose the available
serial port that you will connect the GCI Interface
module to. If you do not know the name of the
serial port that you will be using, you can often
find out by trial and error.
5. The "Gascom Directory" is the location on your
computer where the Gascom program is stored.
By default, it is "C:\Program Files\gascom\" as
shown at right. If you changed the location of
the folder, you may find it by right clicking on
the shortcut that was created on the desktop
and then choosing "Properties." There is often a
"Target" or "Start in" listing that shows the location
of the file folder. Using the default settings, your
configuration screen should now look like the one
below.
6. The last entry in the configuration menu is the
"Access Code" field. Entering the correct code
in the location will allow access to Parameter
Numbers 5 to 42. An access code is not needed in
order to access parameters 1 to 4, monitor boiler
performance, or view the logged error codes.
THE ACCESS CODE WILL CLEAR AFTER THE
PROGRAM CLOSES.

SETTING PARAMETERS W/GASCOM SOFTWARE
1. Connect the GCI interface from the communications
kit to the serial port on the computer. Connect
the ribbon cable to the boiler control through the
connection on the front display panel. Plug in the
GCI power cord.

3. Start the Gascom program and go through
configuration if it has not already been completed.
If the configuration was done previously, click on
the "Parameters" menu and choose the option titled
"Read from MCBA."
4. If the device is connected correctly and the correct
communication port is chosen, the following screen
will appear. This indicates that communication has
been established between the computer and the
control.
NOTE: The first four parameters are the only parameters
available to change unless an access code is entered under
the configuration menu.
!
Entering the access code makes parameters
1-42 available for change. Do not change any
parameter not directly addressed by this manual.
Some parameters in this boiler control should
never be changed under any circumstance.
After making changes to parameters, record the
changes on the last page of this manual and leave
a copy with the boiler for future reference.
ACCESSING PARAMETERS 5 - 42
If access to parameters 5 - 42 is needed, choose the
"Configuration" option from the "Gascom" menu and
enter "05" in the access code box. Then click "OK." All
available parameters (1 - 42) should now be visible.
