SECTION 2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Your 6155AS remote display was systematically inspected and tested, then carefully packed before shipment. Unpack the instrument and inspect for shipping damage. If damage exists, do not attempt to operate the unit. Notify the freight carrier immediately.
WARNING: INCORRECT POWER CAN DAMAGE YOUR 6155AS MODULE 2.4 MESSAGE DISPLAY AT POWER UP At initial Power-up the 6155AS displays a message which indicates the following configuration details:- i) PROGRAM REVISION CODE i) SELECTED MODE (0, 1, 2 or 3) ii) PRESENT INPUT LEVEL ( ⎯...
SECTION 3 OPERATION 3.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides information regarding transmission of messages to the module. See section 4 for configuration of jumpers, links and DIP switches. 3.2 MESSAGE FORMAT All messages transmitted to the module should be in ASCII. The valid characters are shown in the diagram below (Space) Figure 3-1 Display Character Table...
Various control characters are also used :- ASCII ACTION CODE ETX : Stops the module receiving further data except code 02 XOFF: As per ETX STX : Starts the module receiving data. If the instrument has an address other than '0' the next character must be the address of the instrument or it will return to an inactive state XON : As per STX END OF DATA: In shift mode next valid data will clear the...

BS4504 SUB-SET PROTOCOL. The display powers-up normally responding to any valid received characters. If the character EOT is received at any time the 6155AS changes to a sub-set of the BS4504 protocol. The four characters immediately following EOT are then interpreted as the group number (sent twice) and the ID number (sent twice).

Note that data strings terminated by carriage return should not be used, as carriage return followed by ETX will result in a blank display. See below for details. The display is a receiver only and provides no response or talkback The block check characters (error detection) are not used and all alpha characters following STX are treated as printable characters.
