Programming the GSA-REL in the MIR2-SDU
Adding the GSA-REL to the database
WARNING: This information was prepared for users who are proficient in every
aspect of MIR2-SDU programming. Do not attempt to program the GSA-REL if
your certification is not current. Incorrect programming may result in loss of life,
serious injury, or property damage.
The GSA-REL is a single module with six serial numbers. Addresses will differ for
each installation, but they must be consecutive.
Note: If you are adding other Signature Series devices to the project database,
add the GSA-REL last. Adding devices after the GSA-REL may disrupt the
addressing scheme.
The GSA-REL has six addressable circuits. To add the GSA-REL to the project
database, you must add three GSA-REL modules. The first GSA-REL is for the
abort switch and manual release switch circuits, the second for the two release
circuits, and the third for the two prerelease circuits.
Note: You cannot have more than 10 GSA-REL modules on one Signature loop.
The GSA-REL provides only one serial number label. When you scan in the
GSA-REL, only the first two serial numbers appear in the database.
Caution: Do not use the Accept Actual function in the Signature Mapping tool.
Accepted data may corrupt the database by causing it to see every device as two
devices.
To add the GSA-REL to the database:
1. Use the SDC Configuration dialog box to add three GSA-REL modules:
Device type = Monitor
Model = GSA-REL
Personality code = 3
Quantity = 3
2. Scan or enter the GSA-REL serial number label in the first address slot.
3. Complete each GSA-REL address as shown in Table 16. You don’t need to
enter serial numbers for all addresses. This happens in a later step.
4. Use the Object Configuration dialog box to assign labels and messages to
each GSA-REL address, as shown in Table 17.
