• If you are unable to enter an address or port for a
sensor or flow meter, the Location for that device
has probably not been set to "ADM." Return to the
previous section and check the Location settings.
• Use the arrow keys to move through the Flow and each
Sensor input, to map the correct Decoder Address and
Port. This step should be completed before actually
programming the ICD-SEN.
• Example: Configuring an HFS, Mini-Clik, and a Freeze
Sensor with two ICD-SEN sensor decoders.
This example shows two ICD-SEN sensor decoders.
One of the ICD-SEN sensor decoders is assigned
address 1. This decoder in the field has the HFS wired
to port A, and one of the Clik sensors to Port B. The
second ICD-SEN sensor decoder is given address 2.
This sensor decoder would then have the remaining
sensor wired to Port A on the decoder.
• Once this screen is programmed correctly, you may
begin programming the ICD-SEN sensor decoder in
the programming port.
• Insert the stripped end of the red wire from an
ICD-SEN decoder into one of the two holes labeled
Programming Port on the lower right of the decoder
output module.
• Insert the blue wire from the decoder into the other
Programming Port hole. Do not let the red and blue
wires touch each other!
• Turn the dial to the Advanced Features dial position.
Arrow down to the Decoder Functions selection. Press
the + button. With "Program a Decoder" highlighted,
press the + button. The display will show "Checking
for a Decoder..." as it attempts to communicate with
the decoder in the Programming Port.
• The decoder output module will check for the
presence of a decoder. If the wires are correctly
61
inserted into the Programming Port, a screen will
appear with the decoder settings.
• If a the decoder is recognized, the screen will display
that it is a Decoder Type: Sensor. Select a Sensor
Decoder address number from 1 through 5.
These are not the same as station addresses, and do not
cause a conflict with station output addresses 1 through 5.
• Address the ICD-SEN Sensor decoder to match the
sensor input you want this decoder to communicate
with. If the address is correct, press the program
button to send the information.
• The screen will then display "Programming
Complete". If it displays the "Programming Failed"
message, reinsert the ICD-SEN wires and resend the
information.
• Once the Programming is complete, you may view
which sensors the ICD-SEN sensor decoder has been
mapped to, as well as the address.
• With the programmed ICD-SEN sensor decoder still in
the programming port, use the Back button, or left
arrow button, to go back to the Decoder Functions
main screen. Press the + button with "Program a
Decoder" highlighted.
• Once the decoder has been acknowledged in the
programming port, press and hold the Blue
Information button. The screen will display the
decoder address, and the type of sensor that is
connected to each of the decoder ports. Following is a
display showing the previous example of two sensors
connected to an ICD-SEN :
The second ICD-SEN sensor decoder would appear
like this:
You may view the ICD-SEN sensor decoder
information anytime after the decoder has been
programmed in this manner. You may also change the
