Accessory Setup
This menu is used to manage accessories that can be controlled via the DCS handheld.
An AIU (Accessory Interface Unit, Item No. 50-1004) is required for remote control of
accessories. The instructions are very similar to those found under the Switch Setup sec-
tion previously found in this chapter.
Add Accessory
1. Wire the accessory into the AIU as shown in the AIU user’s manual and your
accessory’s instructions.
2. Select which TIU the accessory is added to (See the TIU Setup section later in this
chapter for how to number TIUs.)
3. Select which AIU the accessory is added to. To determine the AIU’s number, simply
count out from the TIU. For instance, if you have three AIUs, the one connected direct-
ly to the TIU is AIU1, the one connected directly to AIU1 is AIU2, and the one connect-
ed directly to AIU2 is AIU3.)
Note: The TIU will only display the number of AIUs currently connected (ie: if only 2 AIUs are
connected, the display will read AIU1 and AIU2.
4. Select the AIU port (ACC1-ACC10) the accessory is wired into.
5. The LCD prompts you to name the accessory, and an alphanumeric character set is
displayed. Use the thumbwheel to scroll through the character set, and when the charac-
ter you want to type next is bracketed, press the thumbwheel to select it. You may give
the accessory a name up to 16 characters long. Select the “D” at the end of the character
set to signify that you are done with this function.

2. The LCD prompts you to name the accessory, and an alphanumeric character set is
displayed. Use the thumbwheel to scroll through the character set, and when the charac-
ter you want to type next is bracketed, press the thumbwheel to select it. You may give
the accessory a name up to 16 characters long. Select the “D” at the end of the character
set to signify that you are done with this function.
