Programming The Timing Events Using The Supplied Pc Software - Redback A 2078B Operating Manual

Redback® A 4500A Evac Controller & Timer
Once again, use the up and down buttons to set the hour, minutes and seconds and press enter when finished. Once the
period has been set, the desired output MP3 for this event is to be set using the MP3 output screen (See fig 2.10).
The MP3 output defaults to Prebell. Scroll through the other options by using the up and down buttons. The MP3 output
can be set to Prebell, Bell, Music, No MP3 or the output can be disabled. These MP3 outputs correspond to the MP3 audio
files located in the Prebell, Bell and Music folders on the SD card.
RELAY OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The 24V switched outputs associated with the Prebell, Bell and Music folders are as follows.
When the Bell output is active the Bell 24V output and Common 24V output will become active.
When the Prebell and Music outputs are active the the Common 24V output only will become active.
The NO MP3 option will activate the Bell and Common 24V output, but no audio file will be played.
Once the desired output for the event has been set, press the enter button to move to the next screen (See fig 2.11). This
is where the days of the week this event will occur are entered. The top right line of text refers to the days of the week,
Monday through to Sunday. The line of text below this sets each day "ON" or "OFF". Use the up and down buttons to set
the day to Y for "ON" and N for "OFF".
Once the days of the week are set, press the enter button to confirm and be returned to the main menu. Repeat this process
for any other events to be programmed.
This process of entering the events can be quite time consuming. An easier method of entering this information is by using
the supplied PC software which is provided on the SD card (see section 2.4).

2.4 PROGRAMMING THE TIMING EVENTS USING THE SUPPLIED PC SOFTWARE

The PC software is provided on the units' SD Card and is called "RedbackA4500TimerProgrammer".
In order to access the program, the SD card will need to be connected to a PC. You will need a PC or laptop equipped with
an SD card reader to do this. If an SD slot is not available then the Altronics D 0371A USB Memory Card Reader or similar
would be suitable (not supplied).
You will first need to remove power from the A 4500A and then remove the SD card from the rear of the unit.
To remove the SD card push the card in and it will eject itself.
Make sure the PC is on and card reader connected and correctly installed. Then insert the SD card into the reader.
Go to "My Computer" or "This PC" and open the SD card which is usually marked "Removable disk".
In this case it is named "Removable disk (F:)". Select the removable disk and then you should get a window that looks like
figure 2.12.
