CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Numerical displays DC-24 and DC.21 are temperature and humidity displays. DC-24 displays admit form 1 to 5 sensors, calculating the °C mean value of all them. It automatically detects the number of sensors and displays its state once the display is initialized.
CHAPTER 1 1.1. Characteristics of the DC-24 and DC-25 displays Supply Voltage........... 88 to 264 VAC 47 to 63Hz. Consumption DC-24S and DC-25S ..12VA. Consumption DC-24S and DC-25S ..24VA. Display ............7 segments, 100mm high + decimal point.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.3. Weight of the displays. The weight of the DC-24S and DC-25S is 5kg. The weight of the DC-24D and DC-25D is 7kg. 1.4. Dimensions of the DC-24 and DC-25. 1.4.1. Dimensions of the DC-24S and DC-25S.
1.5. Display mounting 1.5.1. Mounting of the DC-24S and DC-25S. The DC-24S and DC-25S displays can be fixed to the wall in two ways: 1– Hanged. Place 2 of the supplied plug at 410mm from one to the other. Insert the screws leaving their head outside for 4mm.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Screwed: PARED 1.5.2. Mounting of the DC-24D and DC-25D. The DC-24D and DC-25D displays must be hanged using the rings the display has. Cables or chains can be used The power cables and the sensor can be fixed to the mounting elements without tightening them.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION 2. INSTALLATION The installation of the DC-24 and DC-25 is not particularly delicate but some important considerations must be taken into account. The display must not be anchored to places subject to vibrations, nor should it be installed in places which generally surpass the limits specified in the display characteristics, both in terms of temperature and humidity.
INSTALLATION CHAPTER 2 2.3. Serial line connection. The displays of the series DC-24X and DC-25X admit connection through the RS-485 line. The connection must be done using a DB9 connector placed in the interior of the display The connection schematic is the one that follows Plug RS-485 2.4.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION In the sensor placing must be avoided: 1. The air streams due to doors 2. Placing it in climate control systems outputs 3. Proximity to fridges 4. Walls with direct sunlight In case the sensor cable must be extended, the colours of the cables must be respected. The colour identification is = White MAR = Brown...
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION 3. OPERATION. 3.1. Initial reset. Before connecting the display to the network, we must ensure that all of the connections have been carried out correctly and that the display is firmly in place. Each time we connect the display to the power supply network, an initial reset occurs which tests all of the segments comprising the display.
OPERATION CHAPTER 3 3.2.1. Modify parameters RS-485, Ethernet or Wifi. To modify the parameters the user must access the three programming keys placed on the top inside the display. See paragraph 3.1 to see how to access inside the display. The programmation keys are placed in the top of the displays.
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION 3.3. RS-485 parameters. 3.3.1. Parameter 1 for RS-485: Address of the display. It allows to configurate the address of the display in the RS-485 network. Value between 0 and 99. 3.3.2. Parameter 2 for RS-485: Serial line configuration. The parameters of the serial line are codified in the following table: Code Baud Rate...
OPERATION CHAPTER 3 3.3.3. Parameter 3 for RS-485: Sensor control and communication protocol This parameter performs two functions Left digit: Sensor control 0-> Disable sensor information 1 -> Enable sensor information Right digit: Communication protocol, The user can select between the following protocols: 0: ASCII: Really simple protocol that uses ASCII characters 1: ModBus RTU-ASCII: This uses the ModBus protocol, but the temperature and humidity data are coded in ASCII in the same block.
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION 3.4. Parameters Ethernet and Wifi. 3.4.1. Parameter 1 for Ethernet and Wifi: MAC address of the display. To know the MAC address, access parameter 1 and, using the “*” key, access the 3 last values of the MAC address. The first 3 numbers are always 00 -20 - 4A, so the first value displayed in the parameter is the 4 value of the MAC.
