Configuration the Simple Way
Your relay panel has two modes of configuration, Simple Mode and Advanced Mode.
The default configuration mode is called Simple Mode and is designed to be a less
complex streamlined mode for configuring and operating your relay panel. Simple
mode differs from advanced mode in that many of the advanced features and
configuration items have been removed from the menu structures. Additionally, all
configuration is more question and answer based allowing for more self-navigation
without dependence on this manual.
The following configurations and configuration changes can be performed when the
panel is in simple mode:
• Setup the Time Clock Date, Time, and Astronomical Time Clock Settings
• Add & Change Scheduled Events
• Configure Inputs, Devices connected to inputs, and relays assigned to inputs
• Change Configuration Mode
All other configuration options must be defined in Advanced Configuration Mode.
Panel Configuration in Simple Mode
Configuration of your relay panel by simple mode is really a simple process. (pun
intended) The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Install your cabinet and terminate all power and control wiring
Step 2: Configure your inputs
Step 3: Configure any scheduled events
These three steps of course will vary greatly depending upon your particular
installation so generalized instructions are provided here to help you learn what some
of the functionality is. The next few pages will show you how to configure a low
voltage switch, a photocell, and then an occupancy sensor. That will cover step 2.
Step 1 has already been covered in prior chapters. Step 3 illustrates the methods used
to create and schedule events, or rather relays turning on or off at a specific time.
Changing Configuration from either simple mode to advanced
mode, or from advanced mode to simple mode will never result
in loss of configuration information. This can be used to your
and the end-users advantage by first making all required
configuration settings, then changing the panel configuration
mode to Simple Mode. This will allow the user to make basic
changes, but prevent them from making potentially dangerous
configuration changes.
