Powering Up Nodes for the First Time
Powering up the 3GS system (called a cold start) will bring any nodes, inputs and doors physically connected to the
Ringnet onto the system. You will be given the opportunity to verify the number of nodes, inputs, and doors
connected.
To power up the 3GS system
1 The controller will scan the ringnet for connected nodes, indicating the number of nodes found. For example:
ONLINE NODES 0 -> 3
If this number does not match the number you know to be connected, check the cabling and power connections
(see “Ringnet Communications” on page 5-5). Then rescan the ringnet by pressing the NO key.
2 If you are satisfied the number is correct, press YES.
Once the correct number of nodes are seen to be online, the controller scans the ringnet and indicates the number
of zones found (a zone is brought online if a zone input on a node has an EOL connected). For example:
ONLINE INPUTS 0 -> 5
If this number of online inputs does not match the number you know to be connected, check all zone inputs for
EOLs and cabling (see “Input/Output Functions” on page 5-5). Then rescan the ringnet by pressing the NO key.
3 If you are satisfied the number is correct, press YES.
Once the correct number of inputs are seen to be online, the controller scans the ringnet and indicates the number
of doors found (a door is brought online if the door input on the access node has an EOL connected to it). For
example:
ONLINE DOORS 0 -> 4
Note To replace nodes, add nodes to the system or remove a node. See Node Configure in 3GS Programming
for further information.
