Pre-starting Procedure Prior to installation it is necessary to perform visual inspection. Pay attention to the following: 1) signs of damages; 2) availability of all fixture elements; 3) Availability of grounding devices. Installation shall be performed in accordance with a duly established project of onsite allocation pursuant to the installation diagram with due account for threshold device design.
Operating Procedure Each of the eight channel modules can communicate with sensors by two RS-485 lines with MODBUS addresses from 1 to 16, and transmit information to the central processor unit (CPU) on the concentration and the state of each of the sensors. The sensors are connected to the module via two separate lines or in a "ring"...

When you enable the UPES the "test mode" starts, in which the front panel LEDs start flashing alternately. After pressing the "Control" button or in 30 seconds channel modules begin checking the RS-485 lines and consecutive scanning of sensors in accordance with the set MODBUS addresses. When it detects information about gas concentration exceeding the threshold, the priority scanning of this sensor is performed and the information is displayed on it, it immediately turns on threshold LEDs and the threshold relay with the set delay.

Front Panel LED Indicators The front panel contains LEDs of each of the eight channel modules: green LEDs indicating turning on of + 24V at the output of the channel red LEDs indicating the 1-st threshold red LEDs indicating the 2-st threshold blue LEDs indicating the RS-485 bus lines state yellow LEDs indicating the sensor faults RS-485 bus line state indication LEDs are turned on at the time of receipt of request from the...
Flashing LEDs illuminating buttons in any color with a frequency of 1 Hz indicates that the power supply is switched off. Flashing red button illumination with a frequency of 1 Hz indicates that the power supply is switched off due to fault in the power supply or overloading of secondary power sources.
To connect the UPES to the PC via the RS-485 communication the shielded twisted pair can be used. The external grounding conductor shall be thoroughly cleaned, and its connection with the external grounding clamp shall be protected from corrosion by applying lubrication grease. The control panel shall be grounded with a screw clamp located at the bottom of the back wall of the power supply unit.
When the search for the channel boards is complete, the test program is initiated. The ("Autotest Elektronstandart-Pribor") message is displayed on the display in the top row as a crawl line, and in the bottom line the software version and year of manufacture is displayed. LEDs of the channel cards initialized flash on alternately.
channel board has not found any sensor, the UPES indicator in the bottom line for this channel board will display the (“No sensors”) message. Working with the UPES menu, channel programming , modes setting in various device configurations, and all the modes are given in the tree diagrams in the next pages. Possible Malfunctions and Their Corrections Possible malfunctions and their correction is described in Tables 6 and 7.

Description of the UPES Menu with Tree Diagrams UPES menu in the absence of channel boards Depending on the UPES state, availability of channel boards, availability and condition of sensors there may be various menu items. In order to enter the menu, press the(“Prog”) button. If there are no channel boards in UPES, there is only one menu for setting —("UPES Programming") (Fig.T1).
Page 20
To reset the UPES settings, select the (“Reset Settings”) with the "+" and "-" buttons to select ("Yes") and press the ("Prog") button. The UPES settings with be set to their default values. By default, UPES has the following settings: ...
UPES menu with the channel boards installed During UPES normal operation (channel boards installed) you can enter the menu by pressing the ("Prog") button, and the channel boards and sensors connected to the channel boards setup menus will be available for the channel board whose number is displayed in the top line of the display during the normal operation mode.
Channel programming menu To set the parameters for the channel board select the desired channel board with the "+" and "-" buttons and press the ("Prog") button. When you enter the main menu ("Programming x Channel"), where x is the number of the selected channel, press again the ("Prog") button, then you get into the channel board setup menu (fig.
Page 23
relay set is associated with all connected sensors, the second relay set works only in the "ring" mode (in the event of the bus line failure). In the hot swap mode in case of failure of the first port all the sensors work with the first relay set and the scan is performed from the second port.
Page 24
The first relay threshold is normally open; The second relay threshold is normally open; The first relays triggering delay is 5 seconds; The second relays triggering delay is 5 seconds; Enable or disable the relay set selecting the menu ("Channel x Comp. u On [off]"), where x is the channel number, u is the number of the set.
Channel Board Сом-Ports Operation Mode Setting Menu The (Connecting Channel х) menu, where х – is the number of the channel edited, allows you to configure the channel board СОМ-ports operation mode (Fig.T6). Figure T6 In the channel board the following COM ports operation modes are available: ...
Channel Settings Copy Menu In UPES, it is possible to copy settings of the sets of channels. To do this, select the (Copy channel x) (Fig T7). Figure T7 In this menu it is possible to copy the settings of the first or second channel x sets in any other set and channel from the system.
Sensor Search Menu To search for sensors and control list of the sensors connected to the channel board open the ("Channel x Sensor Search'') menu (see fig T8). Figure T8 In this menu you can set the sensor search by the known address (address search), type (search by type), address and type (search by the list) or simply search (Auto search), as well as erase the list of sensors in the channel board.
Page 28
Figure T9 Use the "+" and "−" buttons, select ("Yes") and press the ("Prog") button. The data about the sensors will be deleted from the channel board memory and the central boards controller will return to the menu title. All the thresholds, communication failure flags are reset. The channel board will switch to operation without sensors.
Search for Sensors by Address The sensors in the channel board can be searched for by the known address. To do this, use the "+" and "−" buttons to select the (Channel x search by address) menu item (fig. T10) and press the ("Prog") button.
Page 30
First in the list there are sensors connected to the first port from 1 to 8, then to the second port from 1 to 8, and the second port will be indicated as be (P2) at the upper right part of the UPES screen.
Search by Type of Sensors You can search for known type of sensors by selecting (Channel х Search by type) (fig T8). Selecting this menu item, can press the ("Prog") button to enter the sensor types setup menu (fig T11). In the sensor type setting menu the the top line contains the number of the channel board, in which the search for the sensor will be performed, and the ordinal number of the sensor.
Search by List of Sensors Search for sensors by the list through the ("Channel x search by list") menu (fig.T8). Before you start the search by the list, you need to set the list of sensor types and addresses. Pressing the ("Prog") button enter the sensor list setup menu.
Page 34
First set the sensor type for the sensor, then press the ("Prog") button and switch to setting the sensor MODBUS address. The numbering of the sensors is similar to the numbering when searching by address and type from 1 to 8 in the "two port" mode, and with 1 to 16 in all other modes. Setting the necessary number of sensors, press the ("Prog") button until the menu appears.
Search for Sensors by Searching All Types and Addresses (Automatic Search) If the user does not know, which sensors are connected to the channel board, the user can choose to search across all types and MODBUS address. To do this, select ("Channel x Search") menu (see figure T8) and press the ("Prog") button and go to the Search program start menu (fig T13).
