Configuring A Channel (Ma Input And Mv Input Channels) - Honeywell Touchpoint Plus Technical Handbook

New values can be entered in various ways:
•
Free text (i.e. channel tag)
• Numeric keypad
• Check / uncheck a box (i.e. to toggle an alarm between latching and non-latching)
• Select an option by checking a radio button
•
Select from a list of available options (i.e. channel number)
The configuration is designed to be simple to follow on the screen. However you can refer to Ch.18 Configurable
Parameter Reference Guide to find detailed definitions of all the parameters, default settings and available ranges.

6.14.2 Configuring a Channel (mA Input and mV Input Channels)

Choose your required configuration method, and follow the on-screen instructions. Refer to Ch.18 Configurable
Parameter Reference Guide for detailed information on configurable parameters.
Note: You will need to have the required configuration information available before starting this procedure or you risk
having the system timing you out and decommissioning the uncompleted channel and losing all of your unsaved
changes.
If you want to configure an individual channel:
1) Login as an Administrator or Service.
2) Touch
Menu>Configuration>Channel settings
3) Touch the required Module type.
4) Touch a required channel and touch [Select].
5) Touch [Enable] for a required channel.
6) Touch [Channel Number] and [Enter Channel Tag].
7) Touch a detector name and a sensor type to import all relevant configuration parameters from the Sensor
Catalog.
8) Edit the channel parameters.
9) Touch [Finish] if modification of channel settings is complete.
10) Check whether the channel settings are valid before making it take effect.
11) Touch [Apply].
During the gas calibration, I/O module are set as inhibit status, which means input channels will not trigger any
alarms and output channels will not execute any actions. User should consider alternative safety measures
During the configuration, I/O module measures gas and execute the necessary actions.
Changing the detector type, gas type, or mV full scale deflection will reset the input channel calibration data
and you will get a Calibration Due warning. If this happens you must recalibrate the channel to ensure
