TM6400 FLOW MONITORING SYSTEM There are two channels on the TM6400 each able to take one or 2 collector boxes. Channel 1 on the TM6400 (flow meters No.1 to 32) will take one or two collector boxes. The second collector boxe (flow meter 17 to 32) connects to the first collector box using the OUT connector to the IN connector of the first collector box.

If two wires are touching, the flow meter signal will be shorted and the flow meter will not send any signal to the TM6400. Connect the network cable to the collector box. Secure all your cables using cable ties.
Make sure the power source cannot be disconnected by the staff. A UPS (battery backup) is an added security since it will supply power to a TM6400 for a long time in case of power failures insuring continuous power to the unit.

0 since the default number in the software is also 0. If you have more than one TM6400, you can change the number of the other systems to 1, 2 3 etc…. Each TM6400 has to be set with a different number when on the same network. Two systems with the same number will cause an error since both will respond to the same command sent by the software.
9600 is the default Windows baud rate. If you change it in the TM6400, it has to be changed in the software as well. The TM6400 is designed to operate at 115.2 K for a much faster transmission rate. Press M to go to the next mode.

You do not have an available computer network to use the network adapter. You wish to connect your TM6400 to a computer more than 150 ft (50M) away. You have more than one metering system that you want to connect to the same computer or printer.

The IP address of the computer hosting Draft Manager Live must be set to static (not DHCP). A change in the IP address would disconnect the TM6400 system (unless connected by COM port) and the POS if interfaced. The software is equipped with a tool to find the Auper devices connected to the computer network.
