Transcription

1 1. Hardware: Installation of the PCMeasure Movement Sensor (30114) Connect the sensor to a serial or parallel port of the PC using one of the PCMeasure adaptors, or directly to the PCMeasure Ethernet Box. The RJ45 connector allows the sensor to be patched into other rooms. The RJ45 cable can be any length. The power supply to the sensor can be via the connecting cable from the PC (using the USB connector of the serial or parallel adaptor) or from the Ethernet Box. The sensor is ready for operation approx. 30 seconds after it is switched on. During these 30 seconds, the red LED is lit. 2. Software Configuration: Windows Open the menu item "Setup", "Hardware" to configure the software for the Movement Sensor. Select the applicable port: COM1 to COM4 or LPT1 to LPT3. As sensor type, select "potential-free contact switch contact". 3. Software Configuration: Linux Open the configuration file (pcmeasure4linux.cfg) to configure the software for the Movement Sensor. The settings depend on the port that the sensor is connected to. For example, if the COM1 port is used and the sensor is connected to port 2 of the adaptor: com1.2=04 Close and restart the software to activate the changes to the configuration file. 4. Ethernet Box Configuration Select the menu item "Setup", "Sensors" and configure the sensor as a "switch contact". 5. Testing the Sensor The displays on the sensor have the following meanings: Red light permanently lit, or with short interruptions: moving object detected. Red light - flashes regularly: no object, waiting time of 15 seconds is running down. Green light flashes: no object, normal condition. If an object is detected, the display in the PCMeasure software shows "100". If there is no object, the display shows "0". The sensor works passively, using infra-red. It has a range of 6-8 meters. 6. Sending Alerts The PCMeasure System can pass on alarms via s, SNMP traps, Syslog messages or SMS. Refer to the software instructions for details of how to configure the software to send these alerts. The function of the sensor is equivalent to that of a potential-free contact. 7. Maintenance The movement Sensor needs no maintenance. To remove dust, use a method that does not involve moisture, e.g. a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner.

4 1. Installing the Hardware: Installation of the PCMeasure Ethernet Box Connect the "Ethernet" port of the Box to a 10 or 10/100 Mbit hub or switch. The Ethernet Box supports a speed of 10 Mbit half duplex. It cannot be operated via 100 Mbit-only ports. 2. Connect the sensors which you will use to Ports 1 to 4 of the Box. The maximum distance of the sensors from the box is 100 meters for the temperature sensors, and 300 meters for all other sensors. 3. Connect the power unit supplied with the Box to socket "PWR" and a power supply outlet. (It is possible to use a different power unit. It must supply Volt DC and have a 5.3mm connector, inside positive. The Ethernet Box is protected against false polarity.) 2. Switching on After a few seconds, the green "Status" LED will start to blink. The green LED "Lnk" shows the status of the network connection. The "Act" LED signals network activity. When first switched on, the Box will have the IP Address (Subnet mask , Gateway ). 3. IP Configuration Enter the address in a web browser to access the home page of the Ethernet Box. Note that the PC for initial configuration must be in the same IP network. If necessary, change the PC's address temporarily. Alternatively, you can use the download utility for new firmware to find the Ethernet Box in the network and change the IP address of the Box in the network temporarily. Note that this IP address change will not be permanent! Now set the new IP address for the Box. To do this, select "setup". (User name: "admin"; password: "secret"). In "setup", you can change the IP address. When you change the address, you will initially lose contact with the Box.

9 Installation of the PCMeasure Smoke Sensor (30111) 1. Hardware: Connect the Smoke Sensor to the Ethernet Box using the RJ 45 socket. The RJ45 connector allows the sensor to be patched into other rooms. The cable length can be up to 30 meters. If necessary, you can remove the base plate of the sensors and re-attach it with screws. This will enable you to detach the sensor at any time. If you do this, please take into consideration the length of the cable between the base plate and the sensor, or release the cable tie in advance. 2. Software Configuration: Windows Open the menu item "Setup", "Hardware" to configure the software for the Smoke Sensor. Select the applicable port: COM1 to COM4 or LPT1 to LPT3. As sensor type, select "potential-free contact switch contact". As thresholds for "Display", set the four values "0" "0" "90" "110". In "Events", set a "hysteresis" of "0" and a "delay" of "4". Activate notification "normal!high". 3. Software Configuration: Linux Open the configuration file (pcmeasure4linux.cfg) to configure the software for the Smoke Sensor. The settings depend on the port that the sensor is connected to. For example, if the COM1 port is used and the sensor is connected to port 2 of the adaptor: com1.2=04 Close and restart the software to activate the changes to the configuration file. 4. Ethernet Box Configuration Select the menu item "Setup", "Sensors" and configure the sensor as a "smoke sensor". 5. Testing and Operation of the Smoke Sensor During normal operation, the red LED in the test button of the Smoke Sensor flashes at approx. 50 second intervals. The display in the PCMeasure software or on the Ethernet Box shows "0". If the sensor detects smoke, or test gas, an acoustic warning sounds and the white LED on the sensor begins to light up. After approx. 15 seconds, the Display in the PCMeasure software or on the Ethernet Box shows "100". After the cause of the alarm has been removed, the red LED in the test button continues to flash for approx. 10 minutes. You can test the Smoke Sensor with a test gas or cigarette smoke. There is also a test button on the Smoke Sensor. Press the button (firmly!) down to the pressure point and hold it there for approx. 2 seconds: the Smoke Sensor sounds its acoustic warning and the red LED in the test button flashes 10 times at brief intervals. If the button is not pressed correctly down to its pressure point, an alarm may be triggered after a few seconds. The Smoke Sensor is highly sensitive, and movement of dust in the air may also trigger an alarm. 6. Sending Alerts The PCMeasure System can pass on alarms via s, SNMP traps, Syslog messages or SMS. Refer to the software instructions for details of how to configure the software to send these alerts. The function of the Smoke Sensor is equivalent to that of a potential-free contact. 6. Maintenance The Smoke Sensor needs no maintenance. To remove dust, use a method that does not involve moisture, e.g. a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner. We recommend that you test the sensor at regular intervals.
