  • Page 3: Installation Information

    Installation Information Power Up When power is connected to the EDAC700 RTU it will beep continuously for a short time. During this time it will display “RUN_” on the LCD. The beeper will then stop and the display will show a code version number like 1.4.3p under the word RUN_, for a short time.

  • Page 4: Rs232 Connection

    RS232 Connection At this point you can have an option to work from either the EDAC700 RTU keypad or from a PC via the RS232 port. You can use almost any Terminal emulator program, however EDAC supports the use of Windows Hyperterm for this purpose, and this is fully documented in the next section.

  • Page 5: Hyperterm And The Edac700 Rtu

    If it is not installed you can normally find it on the Windows distribution disk. Once your terminal program is connected to the EDAC700 RTU and the RTU is in Program Mode, the complete menu is displayed on the PC screen with a letter for each option.
  • Page 6 NOTE: The EDAC 700 RTU will not respond to Hyperterm unless it is in Program Mode. A PIN number (default =0000) must be entered via the EDAC700 RTU keypad, after Hyperterm is started, to put the EDAC700 RTU into Program Mode. This will allow communications to take place.

    Icon/File and a window will open allowing you to initiate dialling to the pre-configured site. When a connection to the EDAC700 RTU is established via a modem connection, the PIN to put the product into Program-Mode is not required. The EDAC700 RTU will go into Program Mode automatically.

  • Page 8: Physical Sensor Wiring And Measurements

    Physical Sensor Wiring and Measurements The EDAC700 RTU has 20 physical input/output (I/O) terminals. The following diagrams show how the circuits around each of the I/O terminals are configured to perform each of the six functions. Digital Input - Normally Open Normally open and normally closed inputs have a 0-10V input range.

    Lightning Protection The EDAC 700 RTU must be provided with an earth discharge circuit to allow for lightning and mains surge discharge. This can be accomplished by connecting a cable with a M3 crimp terminal attached, to the M3 mounting screw located beside the RJ45 PHONE socket, at the bottom left corner of the main EDAC 700 PCB.

    Outputs, if no rosters or “Outputs have been defined. This will happen after entering the PIN. Because there are no rosters defined or Outputs configured, the EDAC700 RTU will report the pin as an “invalid Option” this is because it does not have configuration associated with the option you have selected.
  • Page 55 & it also does not self-cancel when the trigger is removed When doing paging or SMS, if the wait time is zero (default) the EDAC700 RTU will not update input status between calls, while in the wait state, which happens between alarm notification calls.
  • Page 56 12.3”. Data Base Repair “ERROR: db repair” what does this mean? Due to the EDAC700 RTU being a computer-based product, it is possible for it to occasionally get its memory scrambled. If this should happen it will report that the database has been repaired while re-booting.
