back of the unit, note that input 1 is on the right side of the terminal blocks and
input 8 is on the left side of the terminal blocks.
To connect your digital inputs to the F200, loosen the screws on the appropriate
slots on the terminal block connector and insert the two wires from your digital
input - one in each slot. Tighten the screws to secure the connections.
Leak Detection Sensing Cable
Since leak detection sensing cable cannot connect directly to a controller, leader
cable is used to connect leak detection cable to the F200.
1. Remove the 4-pin terminal block connector from the
connection labeled Leak Cable on the back of the unit.
2. Insert the stripped wires of the leader cable into the
appropriate slots in the terminal block connector - from left
to right: white, black, green, red. Tighten the screws on the
connector to secure the wires. Plug the connector - with the
wires in the correct order - into the connection labeled Leak
Cable on the back of the device.
3. Unscrew the EOL from the end of the leader cable.
4. Attach the length of sensing cable to the leader cable.
5. Route the sensing cable according to your cable layout diagram.
6. Secure the EOL to the unoccupied end of the sensing cable.
Relay Output
The F200 has one relay output - use this to control an external device in the event
of an alarm condition. Loosen the screws on the appropriate slots on the terminal
block connector and insert the wires for your relay output into the correct slots -
NC-NO-C. Tighten the screws to secure the connections.
Configuration Button
The configuration button is used for advanced troubleshooting. This button needs
to be accessed with the tip of a small object, like a paperclip. Insert it into the hole
and press the button (and hold when indicated) to achieve the desired functions:
Press Button and Release Action
One beep Temporarily enables DHCP. The F200 will remain
this way until it is rebooted, power is cycled, or the
IP is configured. See the F200 Startup Guide for
more information on DHCP and IP addressing.
Press Button and Hold; Action
Release After
Two consecutive beeps Temporarily set the unit's static IP address to
10.0.0.188. The F200 will remain this way
until it is rebooted, power is cycled, or the IP is
configured. See the F200 Startup Guide for more
information on DHCP and IP addressing.
Three consecutive beeps Disables the administrator password.
Four consecutive beeps Reset to all factory default settings
Mount the Controller
Once all connections have been wired to the F200, mount the device in an
appropriate location. RLE recommends a secure mounting option through either
the keyhole cutouts on the enclosure or through the optional 1U rack mount kit.
Web Interface
Dashboard
Accessible from any web browser or mobile device, the Dashboard includes the
status of all sensors, digital inputs, and sensing cables the F200 monitors. As
sensors are connected to the F200, their readings appear on the Dashboard. If
leak detection cable is connected to the F200, use the Inputs tab on
the Setup menu to enable leak detection monitoring and its Dashboard
display.
