Adding T-Line Modules; Hardware Procedure; Software Procedure; Zone Sensor Wiring - Automated Logic T-Line Series Technical Instructions

T-modules are used on a T-net, then an Opto Repeater
(part no. REPOPT) must be inserted into the T-net after
the first 20 modules (see Fig. 6). A maximum of 40
modules may be on a T-net with the use of an Opto
Repeater.

Adding T-Line Modules

Hardware Procedure

1. Add the new T-Line module(s) to the existing T-net
(see the section "Power and Communications
Wiring" for more details).
2. Enter the I.D. number for the new module on the
parameter page of the TNI module driver (FB #15).
Refer to the section on Addressing for more
information.
3. Use one of the two methods described below to make
the TNI recognize the new T-Line module(s). Either
method is sufficient.
Software Method -- Zap the TNI as follows:
a. Go to the Modstat page for the TNI.
b. Press [Esc] to get a pop-up menu.
c. Type in ZAP.
Hardware Method -- Turn the TNI module's power
off then back on.

Software Procedure

1. Run FBfit to determine if the new T-Line FB will fit
with the other T-Line FBs into an existing real or
virtual module (16 kB).
2. If it fits, add the FB to config.txt, compile, and
download memory to the real or virtual TNI modules
to which the FB is being added.
3. If it doesn't fit, add a new virtual module and the FB
to config.txt, enter the new virtual module address on
the real TNI module driver parameter page, and
download parameters to the real TNI and download
memory to the new virtual module (see the section
"Downloading Memory" for more details).

Zone Sensor Wiring

CAUTION: Because the standard zone sensor inputs
are not surge protected, they should only be used for
thermistors or the enhanced zone sensor. Any other
use could result in damage to the hardware.

Standard Zone Sensor

(Using the Enhanced Zone Sensor Port)

1. Remove the module's power jumper.
2. For input 1 (UI 1), connect the zone sensor wires to
pins 1 and 2 on the 8-pin receptacle on the T-Line
module (see Figure 17).
3. Replace the power jumper.
4. Input the channel number, offset, and gain on the
Figure 17: Standard Zone Sensor connections
T-Line zone FB parameter page (UI 1 uses channel
number 31 and UI 2 uses channel number 32).
5. If using input 2 (UI 2) on the Enhanced Zone Sensor
Port, repeat steps 1-4, connecting the sensor between
pins 1 and 3 on the 8-pin connector on the T-Line
module see Figure 17.
NOTE: When making a sensor cable, disregard the
numbers imprinted on the plastic connector.

Enhanced Zone Sensor

1. Remove the module's power jumper.
2. Plug the Amp 8-pin connector to the 8-pin receptacle.
If you are constructing your own cable, use the
crimper shown in Figure 20. Refer to Figure 18 for
the cable wiring configuration. Use 22 AWG wire.
