Or the VRC2000 can respond to a metering request with
• METERING CHANNEL ONE. FILAMENT VOLTAGE, 6.123 VOLTS.
These phrases are only examples. The VRC2000 is very flexible and, within
the limits of the system’s vocabulary, can be set up to say anything desired.
A complete listing of the VRC2000’s vocabulary is included in Appendix I:
Word List (Page 125).
VRC2000 Setup and User Modes
The VRC2000 has two major modes of operation: setup and user. The setup
mode allows programming all functions of any metering, status or command
channel, setting alarm parameters, specifying words and sentences for the
VRC2000 to use, and several other functions. The user mode allows
metering channel or status channel reports to be requested, and commands to
be issued to change the operating parameters of the equipment connected to
the unit. The VRC2000 can be accessed and operated in either the setup or
the user mode from either a local or remote location.
The VRC2000 is designed for easy setup. With only the basic VRC2000 unit
and a standard DTMF telephone, the functions of any metering, status or
command channel can be programmed, as well as the unit’s responses to any
metering or status request, or command.
To set up the VRC2000 so all functions correspond with specific needs and
applications, enter DTMF tones from a telephone pad to program any
VRC2000 function. When a valid code is entered, the unit will respond with
the current parameters programmed for that function; the VRC2000 will
then allow you to edit/change them.
One important item to make the setup process easier is to time DTMF entries
correctly. Experiment with the set-up procedures a few times to understand
the way the VRC2000 responds to entries; practice initiating and completing
a set-up event.
Use local mode the first time the VRC2000 is set up. The set-up process will
be easier if you connect an amplifier and speaker is connected to the AUDIO
OUT BNC connector on the VRC2000’s rear panel. After, apply AC power
to the unit.
Security
The VRC2000 provides three security levels: operator, user and system.
Operator
Operator access allows metering and status-channel readings to be taken.
Commands cannot be issued to the VRC2000, and alarms cannot be cleared.
User
User access allows metering and status-channel readings to be taken, the
VRC2000’s command-channel switches can be activated, and alarms can be
cleared.
