VRC2000 Setup
Continued
When ready to begin final setup of mute functions, use the worksheets in
Appendix H (See Page 117.) to plan the exact set-up information to be
entered for each parameter. Proper planning will make this process faster
and easier. Also, use the same worksheets as a permanent written record of
programming for each mute-channel entry.
Setting Up Sequence Output Programs
The VRC2000 allows four separate sequences (each consisting of up to 32
keystrokes), to be called up with simple sets of three DTMF entries. This
mini-program, which can be replayed at any time with the proper code,
works something like an automatic telephone dialer.
Gentner Communications recommends that sequence-output programs only
be used to take readings from the status and metering channels, check the
real-time clock, and/or check for pending alarms.
Four sequence-output programs are available on the VRC2000. As shipped
from the factory, these sequence-output programs are empty.
Programming sequence-output programs is simple. Nevertheless, read this
section and experiment with setting up a sequence-output program a few
times before deciding on the final VRC2000 programming.
First, access a sequence-output program’s default set-up information. For
each parameter, the VRC2000 will respond with a preprogrammed message,
followed by the default parameter (in braces { }), followed by a [BEEP]. Any
default parameter can be changed when setting up the VRC2000.
You enter
☎ “5 0 1”
The VRC2000 will respond:
• SEQUENCE ONE IS ... {DISABLED} ... [BEEP]
To change the setup for the first sequence-output program, enter set-up
mode, then enter a “5 0 1” access code, then the code numbers to be
programmed into the sequence-output program.
Each sequence-output program allows up to 32 digits to be entered. If a
sequence-output program contains less than 32 digits, end it with the DTMF
sequence “8 8 8”.
To disable a sequence output, enter the access code for the selected sequence-
output program, followed by “8 8 8”. This erases all previous programming
for the selected sequence-output program and enters an empty sequence.
Sequence Output Programming Exercise
The following sequence-output programming exercise will illustrate more
fully how to program sequence outputs. The exercise will set up a sequence-
output program to check the real-time clock, take readings on status
channels 1, 5 and 6, and metering channels 2, 4 and 16. You must be in set-
up mode to change sequence-output programs.
