Rev. B | 2021.12 RDM - Operation Manual Once the RDM Remote Display is wired to the FCS, the controller needs to be told that the RDM exists as a remote device. This is done at the controller. Refer to the FCS Operation Manual for instructions. Similarly, in order for the controller to communicate with the RDM, the two devices must have the same baud rate.
RDM - Operation Manual Rev. B | 2021.12 6 SYSTEM OPERATION & CONFIGURATION 6.1 Navigating the Menu Structure There are three push-button keys to the right of the display that are used to navigate through the RDM Remote Display menu structure. To enter the menu, press E.
Rev. B | 2021.12 RDM - Operation Manual 6.3 Power Up and Warm-up Upon power up, if the RDM is connected to an FCS, (and the controller’s menu is not being accessed), the RDM will display the gas readings on the display line by line at an approximate speed of 1 to 3 seconds.

These will show a counter indicating how much time is remaining until the action will end or start. For more information, refer to the FCS Operation Manual.
RDM - Operation Manual Rev. B | 2021.12 6.6 Modbus® Settings The RDM operates on a local area network (LAN) using Modbus® RS-485 RTU serial communications. In order for communication to be successful between devices, be sure your network connection is complete, the network termination switches are set appropriately and all the devices are configured with the same baud rate, character format, etc.
Rev. B | 2021.12 RDM - Operation Manual screen. 6.6.2 Set Baud Rate All devices on the same network must have the same baud rate. The factory If you default Modbus® baud rate for all CETCI Modbus® devices is 19,200. need to change the baud rate, in the Basic Menu (passcode 1001), press the ARROW keys to scroll through the menu and select Set Baud rate.
RDM - Operation Manual Rev. B | 2021.12 choose Auto on. The RDM will sample existing traffic on the network to determine the correct baud rate. This is useful if the RDM gets lots of framing errors. It will automatically change the baud rate until it stops getting the errors. If Auto is turned off, the RDM will be locked into whatever baud rate has been selected.
Rev. B | 2021.12 RDM - Operation Manual Example of RDM display with Channel 3 and Channel 4 hidden: 6.8 Set Silence Duration Use the Set Silence Duration to configure the length of time the RDM should be silenced for a channel that has gone into alarm. Only the channels being displayed by the RDM can trigger the buzzer or strobe connected to the RDM.
RDM - Operation Manual Rev. B | 2021.12 7 MAINTENANCE The RDM Remote Display requires no assembly and virtually no maintenance.

Rev. B | 2021.12 RDM - Operation Manual Changes made using the FCS regarding how/what channels are displayed on the RDM do not show as expected. Changing the display functionality or priority selection channels for the RDM on the FCS generally require a restart of the FCS. Push and hold the button on the FCS circuit board until the buzzer chirps (approximately a count of 10), let go and the FCS will do a restart.
