Remove the SD card from the unit, read it using a PC and copy the necessary files (do not delete files)
and then return the card to the unit.
The entire unit’s information, loaded to its maximum capacity, is searchable using only 10 queries:

8. Location in metres to alarm circuit 2: Starting address 9201, length 40 Registers
9. Location in metres to alarm circuit 3: Starting address 9301, length 40 Registers
10. Summary faults in unit per circuit: Starting address 4096, length 4 Registers
The Modbus function must be enabled in the unit’s ‘Setup’ menu.
It is necessary to define the number of Modbus slaves when using the serial interface.
6. TOPSurveillance™ Software:
The supervising software TOPSurveillance™ is developed as one general driver assuming all the
JBUS communication with the supervised central units, and one or several additional windows used
for pin-pointing the alarms on the maps of the protected areas.
The driver requests continuously JBUS answers from the supervised central units and treats this data
for the additional use by the dedicated windows. The status of each cable is downloaded to the PC
and the general driver is also providing simple indication of the faults presence in each supervised
zone.
The proper use of the serial communication is also indicated by the corresponding simulated lamps.
The loss of the communication with a central unit will change the corresponding lamp Digital Unit N in
red and problems with the communication will turn red the indicator Serial error.
The visualisation of the current status of a particular zone is initiated by pressing the corresponding
button Load/Update Map.
As soon as a leak or a cable break appears, the sound alarm advises the user.
The type of alarm and the zone where the fault appeared are displayed by a red lamp on the
TOPSurveillance™ driver.
