Testing Mux Box Communications; Base Unit Installation - PTI Falcon Installation And Operation Manual

(2) After verifying the rotary switch settings, trip the mux box tamper switch with your hand.
On the next cycle, the LED should blink "0-0-0", since the tamper switch is considered
to be door number zero.
(3) You may then test the other door switches by opening or closing each door that you
wish to test. The LED will always blink the number of the last door opened or closed as
a three digit number. Remember that this is the number of the position in the terminal
strip to which the door is wired, not your actual rental unit number. The PTI Falcon base
unit will later translate the wire position number into your actual unit number. Continue
testing until proper operation of all door switches has been verified.

Testing Mux Box Communications

To test communications with the alarm multiplexer box, your PTI Falcon base unit must be
installed and operational, and your communication wiring to the alarm mux box must be in
place. Test communications as follows:
(1) Check that all wiring is in place, all switches properly set, and all cables plugged in to
the back of the PTI Falcon base unit. Apply power to the alarm mux boxes.
(2) Load the printer with paper according to the instructions in the printer manual and
apply power to the printer.
(3) Apply power to the PTI Falcon base unit. After several seconds, the PTI Falcon will
print on the printer "Comm On - Remote XX" along with the date and time as shown on
the base unit display, where "XX" is the remote number for which communications has
been logged on. One line will be printed on the printer for each remote device. If
communications is lost to a remote device after being logged on, the message
"Comm Off - Remote XX" along with the date and time will be logged on the printer.

Base Unit Installation

Follow the following steps for installation of the PTI Falcon base unit:
(1) Locate the base unit at a readily accessible position where there is power available.
Plug the AC power cord into the back of the base unit. Do not plug the power cord
into a wall outlet yet.
(2) Locate the printer at a readily accessible position where there is power available.
Install the printer cable between the base unit and the printer by plugging the twenty
five pin connector in at each end. Tighten the cable retaining screws using a small
screwdriver. Install the printer ribbon and paper according to the instructions in the
printer manual before plugging the printer power cord into a wall outlet.
