1. and hitting the ENTER key You can reprogram the other two ID lines following the example above IDs 2 and 3 may contain up to 78 characters ID line 4 is not field changeable and will show the latest base program release If your system will be using a POTS line to dial out to an alarm receiver or printer you must tell the system what number to call and at what speed to communicate Before you can begin typing you must know what number it will be calling and what you want to refer to the location as Then you can program it in by typing and hit the ENTER key The system should respond with an OK You have just told the system to call 1 401 123 4567 to report any alarms The KENNETSQ is just an example of a label this particular label could stand for Kennett Square Labels are helpful as a way to differentiate between alarm locations in case there is more than one 10 Next set the speed at which it will try and connect to KENNETSQ If the alarm receiver can only communicate at 2400 bps then type in and hit the ENTER key The 2 is for 2400 bps Other rates are 0 for 300 bps 1 for 1200 bps 3 for 4800 bps and 4 for 9600 bps That completes the communications setup for the TELSECTM unit The next sections will make sure that the alarms inputs and control outputs are correct for your site When you ve finished an important programming step it is a good idea to send the system a command This command will writ2. secure and the connections are tight NOTE Before the system is powered up there is one critical input connection to check If you have a rack mounted system or your temperature humidity sensor has been removed from the wall mounted system and relocated you must verify that the humidity sensor is connected to input number 2 It is the only 5 volt input and is used to power the sensor Failure to connect this properly will damage the humidity sensor Verify the temperature humidity sensor 5V terminal is wired to either IN 2 of the Quest CIM pin 4 2 of the Quest wire wrap block or the W OR slot on the Krone block Also check that the Amphenol cable leading from the TELSEC I O port A is connected to that terminal 5 Apply power to the system and ensure that the green LED is lit The LCD display on the front should begin cycling through temperature humidity float voltage level and all active alarms It may take a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize but if the reading is dramatically wrong 463 then your connections to the sensor may be reversed tip ring or hooked to the wrong input If this occurs remove power and correct the wiring Sample wiring diagrams are in Chapter 4 of the manual Step 2 Communicating with the TELSECTM To communicate with the TELSECTM unit you can have a PC or laptop with any standard communications program such as ProComm or HyperTerminal Instructions for
3. setting up ProComm are contained in chapter two of the manual However for basic communications the default settings will work when set to 9600 bps 8 bit word 1 stop bit and no parity 9600 8 1 N You also need a nine pin serial cable with female connectors at both ends This must be a straight through serial cable and NOT a null modem cable Access to the system is through one of the RS 232 ports preferably the one labeled Craft 1 Verify all other serial communication programs are turned OFF Palm Hot synch Eastcom polling Etc Connect the serial cable to the craft port Set the communications program for 9600 8 1 None and emulate a VT 100 terminal with ASCII for a transmission format The Telsec will initiate an AT command string to determine what it is connected to it Sometimes you may have to hit the ENTER key to start this process But only hit the key once After initialization you may see an unsuccessful modem initialization error or an input invalid error Either way just wait for the semi colon command prompt The first command you should type in is and hit the ENTER key Did you see the characters on your screen while you were typing a If so go ahead and type in a password as the system requested and hit ENTER or are default passwords that can be used if neither of these is accepted by the unit contact Quest Controls Inc and proceed to step 7 b If
4. you did not type in one of the passwords and hit ENTER You should be able to see the present COM settings for COM 1 the NMA port and COM 2 the craft port The OFF at the end of the command turns off the character echo To turn it on just type in then hit the ENTER key if you were plugged into the NMA port you would have SET COM 1 instead of COM 2 The system should say OK and now you should be able to see the characters that you are typing Your communication program may need to be restarted if it does not recognize the new serial settings If you don t type in the command correctly it will show you the proper format and wait for you to enter it in again 7 Now itis time to set the clock Type in and hit ENTER The unit will show you the proper format for setting the clock At the semi colon prompt type in for 12 30 in the afternoon on December 15t of 2001 Hit the ENTER key and look for the OK The system will send the site ID number one with all alarms as the target identifier TID Originally this was setup for the CILLI code and should be no more than 20 characters If your site is not directly connected to NMA and your alarm center does not desire CILLI codes as site identifiers pick a distinctive identity for the site To set the ID 1 line type in and hit the ENTER key The system should respond with an OK You can see the IDs that have been programmed into the site by entering the command

8. e the changes into the flash memory Step 3 Verifying Alarm Inputs During this step you will be using the review and list commands to retrieve specific information from the program A full description of these commands can be found in the system manual 1 Typein and hit the ENTER key The system will list all of the inputs their names normal states delay time correction factors Etc a For example if you see DEFINE OUTAIR UIN 7 TEMPF 0 LOG AVG 30 it would tell you that on input number seven you have an outside temperature sensor It is using a Fahrenheit temperature conversion factor with no offset it will make an entry in the log for the average reading every 30 minutes b An entry of DEFINE FUSEPNL UIN 4 DIG EQPTSA MJ 1 MSG 2 LOG would tell you that the fuse panel alarm is connected to input 4 It is normally open and is tied to service affecting equipment It is a major alarm and has a one second delay If it alarms it will send message number 2 along with the alarm message and will note the alarm in the log Additional input parameters are listed in the equipment manual Review the list and confirm that all of the inputs listed are connected properly Test the alarms by simulating the condition by shorting or opening the input depending on the normal situation open or closed verify that the alarm registers on both the terminal and the front panel display You may review the st
9. then three seconds later the next numbered relay will energize and so on The ENERGON will tell the system to energize the relay for an on state And finally any change in state will be logged in the system history 2 Review the relay list and verify that all controls are relevant and are controlling the sub systems correctly The command can be used to review the present status of the output relays 3 Test the controls by either bypassing the relays using software commands or initiating a test on the input that causes the relay state change For instance in a CEV the relays controlling the blower red green light horn and work lights may be simply tested by opening the hatch and waiting for the logic to work through the purging procedure This instruction is not intended to answer every question about how the system works or to address specific or unusual applications for the equipment If you run into problems first see if you can get the information from the manual Chapter 4 addresses the installation of the unit and chapter 5 has many of the standard applications If that does not help call Quest and talk to one of our Application Engineers The quick list of frequently used commands 1 2 SET COM 1 type SET COM 1 POTS 9600 8 1 N ON CR SET COM 2 type SET COM 2 POTS 9600 8 1 N ON CR SET CLOCK type SET CLOCK 7 23 2001 10 23 00 AM CR SET ID type no more than 20 characters S
