12.0 Programming the system using the Windows Configuration Tool
The Digilite® DL500 Windows Configuration Tool allows all the programming aspects of the Digilite®
DL500 to be accessed, and is the preferred method to use.
Please consult the accompanying Digilite® DL500 Programming Manual for details on how to
commission using a PC.
13.0 General System Operation
13.1 Added Loop Devices
The Digilite® DL500 will process any devices that are stored in it’s memory. Periodically the Digilite®
DL500 checks for extra loop devices that may have been added. Up to 8 added devices can be
detected.
Added loop devices generate a single ‘Added Loop Device ‘ event ( only one event irrespective of
how many devices are added ). The indicator LED on the added loop device will flash at a rate of
approximately 3 seconds on and 3 seconds off to signify it has been recognised by the Digilite®
DL500, but not added to the system or saved in the memory.
To enable them to operate correctly added devices must be logged on to the Digilite®
DL500 in the normal manner, then given a loop address and all relevant programming
data as required.
