Overview
Configuring the
Programming Unit
Programming the
Decoder
The decoder appears exactly like two 4100 MAPNET II cards to a 4100 Master Controller. The
decoder scans its eight loop inputs for alarm or trouble conditions and reports all status changes as
appropriate (e.g., an open loop is reported as if the condition were an open MAPNET II line).
Note: Programming of the decoder module is performed at the PCB level and should
be accomplished using standard ESD precautions.
The 4100 Programming Unit "Card Configuration Editor" handles the decoder as if it were two
open MAPNET II cards (i.e., two open MAPNET II cards must be allocated for each decoder
module). A total of 250 devices may be assigned to the decoder, 125 on each of two MAPNET
channels. Each coder device is added as if it were an addressable "MBZAM" device on a open
MAPNET II channel. A custom label relative to the coder's location and/or code must be entered
for each device.
Note: Due to programming considerations, device addresses 126 and 127 must be
used to report these conditions, even if a system has fewer than 125 devices.
Devices 126 and 127 must be programmed as MBZAM, alarm-type devices. The custom label for
Device 126 MUST be programmed with this label:
The custom label for Device 127 MUST be programmed with this label:
Device numbers 126 and 127 are reserved so that the decoder can report an alarm should either a
received code not be programmed, or a code not be successfully transmitted.
When the decoder board is first powered up (with switch SW1 set up to the NORM [normal]
position), the board's LCD display shows the following message:
