INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
The CN600 Series is a second generation of industrial scanners based
on the field proven CN100 six zone temperature monitor/alarm system.
Several models and options are available.
The CN600 Series is a microprocessor based scanner which accepts
signals from thermocouples or RTD's. In the basic unit, six zones are
sequentially scanned with a selectable display rate of 1 to 40 seconds
each. A single output relay is provided to indicate an alarm condition on
any zone. The faceplate has been arranged to call attention to an alarm
condition by flashing the main temperature display and indicating the
zone in alarm with a flashing zone number display. To prevent alarm on
startup, Lo alarm is not activated until enabled zones cross Lo alarm
setpoint.The CN600 Series implements a security password to protect
certain functions.
1.2 Features

Up to ten scanners can be connected in parallel to a single RS-232
communications port on a PC. Each scanner is assigned a serial number
from 0 to 9. The computer uses these numbers to determine which
scanner unit to address at a given time.
A simple set of menus is provided in the software which allows the
operator to change the settings of each connected scanner unit and
display individual operating parameters.
For users with advanced software capabilities, see Section 2.4 for an
operating protocol.

The following screen menus are provided:
1. SELECT PORT- Scans all available PC ports and indicates
which port is connected to scanners.
3
2. MAIN MENU- Allows the following operations:
• CONFIGURE UNIT allows individual unit type selection, including:
T/C Type, Temperature Scale, Latching or Nonlatching Alarm, and Hi,
Lo or Hi/Lo Alarm.
• RUN one unit display or two units simultaneously.
4
• SET SETPOINTS allows changes to individual unit Hi and Low
setpoints, scan time settings and allows zones to be enabled/disabled.

2.4 Operating Protocol for RS-232 Communications
The CN606 Scanner is designed with standard RS-232 three wire serial
communication capabilities. Up to ten scanners can be parallel connected
to a single PC. The transmission line is held in tristate to avoid cross-talk
between scanners except when the computer addresses a specific
scanner for communication.
Configuration
BAUD rate = 4800
Data bits = 8
Parity = N
Stop = 1 ( or 2 on some computers)
Communication software for the PC is written in Visual Basic. This
software package has been created to operate on PC Windows 95
platform meeting the minimum requirements.
Customers can communicate with CN606 scanners through a PC by
using the following protocol:
• Scanners will not initiate communication. The RS-232
Command Module (computer or similar device) must initiate.
• All communication is in ASCII format except Check Sum.
Check Sum is generated by hexadecimal addition with
carry of data string (one byte).
• To start communication, the Command Module must send
alert code ASCII [L] hex 4C. This commands the scanners to cease
RS232 communication and listen for an ID Code. The Command
Module then sends the Identification Number for the scanner that it
needs to address, ASCII [0 to 9] hex 30 to 39. The identified scanner
will then expect a command code. All the other scanners on-line will wait
for the next alert code.
• Command codes are divided into two groups:
ASCII Zones/ Alarms/ Scan time 15 bytes
1 byte [binary] zones 1 to 6 [0011 1 111] = (3F h)
1 byte [binary] zones 7 to 12 [0 011 1111] = (3F h)
1 byte [binary] zones 1 to 6 Hi alarm [0011 1111] = (3F h)
1 byte [binary] zones 7 to 12 Hi alarm [0011 1111] = (3F h)
1 byte [binary] zones 1 to 6 Lo alarm [0011 1111] = (3F h)
1 byte [binary] zones 7 to 12 Lo alarm [0011 1111] = (3F h)
2 digit scan time
+ check sum
ASCII Model/ Password/ ID#/ # of zones 13 bytes
4 digit model code 4 bytes
4 digit password 4 bytes
2 digit ID# 2 bytes
2 digit number of zones 2 bytes
+ check sum 1 byte
ASCII Coded Setpoints 97 bytes
12 zones, 4 digits each zone [Lo setpoint] 48 bytes
12 zones, 4 digits each zone [Hi setpoint] 48 bytes
+ check sum 1 byte
ASCII Coded Temperature 49 bytes
12 zones, 4 digits each zone 48 bytes
+ check sum 1 byte
Group 2. Commands preparing scanner to receive data:
ASCII [m] hex 6D = Model/ Password/ ID#
ASCII [e] hex 65 = Zone enable/ Scan time
ASCII [s} hex 73 = Setpoints
ASCII Model/ Password/ ID# 10 bytes
4 digit model code 4 bytes
4 digit password 4 bytes
1 byte ID 1 byte
+ check sum 1 byte
Group 1. Commands requesting data from the scanner:

INSTALLATION
3.1 Unpacking
Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment
for any signs of damage. Take particular note of any evidence
of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to
the shipping agent.
Digit 1. (msd)
0 = Overheat Alarm
1 = Underheat Alarm
2 = Hi/ Lo Alarm
Digit 2.
0 = Latching Relay °C
1 = Latching Relay °F
2 = Nonlatching Relay °C
3 = Nonlatching Relay °F
Digit 3. (preset at the factory)
0 = Thermocouple
1 = RTD
Digit 4. (Thermocouple units only)
0 = Type B
1 = Type C
2 = Type E
3 = Type J
4 = Type K
5 = Type R
6 = Type S
7 = Type T
Digit 4. (RTD units only)
0 = 100 ohm Platinum
1 = 100 ohm Nickel
2 = 10 ohm Copper
Remove the packing list and verify that all equipment has been
received. Each package should contain:
• Scanner (CN606 or CN612)
• Operator's Manual
• RS-232 Software
• Two mounting slides with screws
• Power plug (9 pin)
• RS-232 plug (3 pin)
• Two T/C plugs (6 pin)
• (CN612 only) Two Additional T/C plugs (6 pin)
If there are any questions about the shipment, please call the
Customer Service Department.
NOTE: The carrier will not honor any claims unless all shipping
material is saved for their examination. After examining and
removing contents, save packing material and carton in the event
reshipment is necessary.
3.2 Mounting
Select a location for the monitor that is free from excessive
shock, vibration, dirt, moisture and oil. Mount the monitor into a
3 5/8" (92mm) square cutout. The monitor as shipped is 1/4 DIN
(92mm square), so it does not have to be removed from it's
housing to be mounted.
Remove the two screws that secure the mounting slides. Remove
the slides and insert the case into the cutout from the front side
of the panel. Reinstall the two slides and two screws. The length
of the slides must be reduced if the monitor is to be mounted in
an extra thick panel.
