Port options
This setting allows a different comms protocol to be set for each port for use with the sign. To use this
feature, the lock code must be entered, 'Ports?' found from within the list and then selected using the F/E
key. There are currently 3 options plus 'Back' (available in this edition). The active option is bright whilst
the other two are dimmed. Use the up and down arrows to navigate between each one.
An example screen looks like this:
The list of protocols available in the DG3 controller is provided in Appendix C: Protocols – Port
Options.
Note: Controllers are not necessarily supplied with every possible protocol enabled.
For more details about any protocol, please contact Hanover (please refer to section 4.3 Hanover
Technical Support).
Sign options
This is an optional manual override to enable the contents of a sign to be changed to display a different
programmed sign in Helen. To use this feature, the lock code must be entered, 'Signs?' found from within
the list and then selected using the F/E key. There are currently 17 options plus 'Back' (available in this
edition). The active option is bright whilst the other two are dimmed. Use the up and down arrows to
navigate between each one.
An example screen looks like this:
The list of sign options available in the DG3 controller is provided in Appendix D: Sign Options.
Dump data screen sequence
This facility allows the database to be 'dumped' back on to a USB stick if required - generally to enable the
list to be copied to another controller. The USB stick will need the same folder structure in place as used
when data is being loaded on to the controller. If Hanover\DB\eric.bin already exists on the USB stick, it
will be backed up and renamed Hanover\DB\eric˜1.bin, Hanover\DB\eric˜2.bin etc.
Note: USB sticks sometimes fail: try another stick before assuming the problem lies elsewhere.
Do not use the same protocol on more than one port: the results are unpredictable.
P1 - Port 2 -
P0 - Port 1 SIGN

S1 - Sign 1 *
S0 - Sign 0 *

Be careful when using sign options as the physical sign addresses may be different from
the sign addresses set up in Helen.
