  • Page 16: Gateway Configuration

    Introduction to Gateway Configuration The QWL2040 Panel utilizes an internal Gateway to communicate with Ubiquity Cloud and the attached device networks. This Gateway can be configured locally by connecting a laptop directly to the device, or by connecting a monitor and keyboard.
  • Page 17 Gateway Configuration Installation information Application Information This section contains settings which define how the Panel interacts with the controller network, and how it communicates the data to the Ubiquity Cloud Server. Application Options Select a Network Polling Cycle Time for the Panel. This is the time interval that the unit will poll the entire network of controllers on all ports.
  • Page 18 “timed out.” Select the time-out period for each port. TCS recommends TCSbus and Modbus set at 200 ms for wired networks. Auto-detection Range: (Default 0, 255) This is the lowest address to start polling and the highest address to stop polling during the auto-detected sequence.
  • Page 19 If Secure Mode has been enabled and you need access, call TCS Technical Support (800.288.9383, ext. 2) for assistance. Here is where you change the default login credentials used to access the Configuration Page. TCS recommends changing these credentials.
  • Page 20 Gateway Configuration Security information Commissioning Tools You can access a separate page containing various commissioning tools by clicking the “Commissioning Tools” button at the bottom of the Security Information page. These tools provide you with access to managing the communication status of the Panel and the controller network connected to it.

  • Page 24: Lighting/Pulse Meter Programming

    Introduction to Lighting/Pulse Meter Programming The Lighting Module of the QWL2040 Panel is an SLQ218, which is equivalent to the SL2108. The Pulse Meter Module of the Panel is an SEQ100, which equivalent to the SE1000. The lighting and meter modules can be programmed remotely via Ubiquity Cloud (www.ubiquitysystems.net), which will automatically detect the modules.
  • Page 25 Lighting/Pulse Meter Programming When Channel Is “ON” You can select how you want the time clock output (Digital Output Mode) to behave in the event of a power failure at the controller, which will control whether the lighting will stay on. You can choose the channel to be Normally Open or Normally Closed during such periods.
  • Page 26 Lighting/Pulse Meter Programming Momentary Override: The digital input acts like a toggle switch. This must also be a momentary N.O. switch. If the time clock is on, pressing the switch turns it off, If the time clock is off, pressing the switch turns it on. Monitor mode: the digital input acts as a monitor for the DI and has no other function.
