  • Page 14 Upload the configuration in the SES file to ES without changing anything in the file. ES - Get OTAP Capcodes Read Over The Air Programming Capcodes from the PDT3000. The OTAP capcodes which the unit had can be displayed on the OTAP option window if this reading operation was successful.
  • Page 15 Output Options Serial 1 The message received on this address/cap code will output on serial 1 - Set serial options (global) in the Serial Options window. For some serial formats, such as: "Control Input", "GPS Input", "IPage Input", "TNPP Output", "TNPP Input", "Output to Relay Board", "Message Direct to Relay Board"...
  • Page 16 Capcode Control Relay Board Settings Window Click any number of relays at the relay list table in this Window, then select the action in the "Relay Action" and "Momentary Close Time" box. After finishing all settings, click the "OK" Button to save the settings and return to the last window.
  • Page 17 Capcode Alarm Settings Window Input a certain time period in the "Alarm goes off time(ms)" text-box. After this period time(ms), if the unit does not receive the capcode, it will trigger alarms. Click the "Use audible alert" check-box, the unit will trigger the buzzer alarm. Sets the action that will occur on each of the 4 on board relays when any message on that capcode is not received within above setting time.
  • Page 18 The Printer Options Window Output Options Output to Printer Turns printing on (global option). (Note printing still needs to be set for each individual capcode in the Capcodes window. Output Time & Date Outputs Time & Date to Printer. Output Capcode Outputs Capcode to Printer.

  • Page 22 Response Input Options Window This window is used to set the messages and transmit them with the specific capcodes. Response Serial Input Options: Set the input messages which correspond to the output messages with the specific capcodes. A finished sign for input messages should be a line feed, or a carry return.
  • Page 23 Response for Logical Level Input Options: Set output messages for input pin states. The messages will be transmitted or output on serial when the input pin state changes. Input Pins: set pins whose states will be monitored. Capcode: a different capcode can be assigned per input. Debounce Time: time that contact must be triggered for before the alarm signal is generated.
  • Page 24 Message Relay Options Window This window is used to set global relay control actions according to the text contained in a message received on the selected capcodes. Up to 128 actions may be set for the PDR and PSR and 80 for the PDT.
