4.1

Creating a New Project File

This method describes how to create a new 4100ES-S1 configuration using the template
configuration file as the starting point. SF0459 contains the zipped template files. These files
should be unzipped to an appropriate folder on your PC such as C:\4100ES-S1JOBS. Run
the ES programmer of the correct version and click on the 'File' menu and select 'Open'.
Browse to the location containing the 5 default configurations supplied with SF0459:
S1_16ZN.SDB4100U for 16 zones,
S1_32ZN.SDB4100U for 32 zones
S1_64ZN.SDB4100U for 64 zones.
S1_16Z_F.SDB4100U for 16 zones, 8 fans
S1_32Z_F.SDB4100U for 32 zones, 12 fans
Choose the one that has more front panel zones than are required, as it is easier to remove
extra zones than to add more. Click OK.
All templates have the required Pseudo points and Custom Control equations for fan
controls. The templates with _F also have hardware preconfigured.
After the file is opened do a 'Save As'/'Copy...', enter the new job name and click OK. Note
that the 'Job Name' you enter will show on the front panel when the "Display Software
Revision Level" command is entered.
Now proceed with adding and modifying the site specific information as described below.
