The Hand-held Monitor (HHM) is a convenient operator
interface device that can be used to set up and monitor a Genius
I/O and communications system.
The HHM features:
H
An LCD display with four lines of 16 characters each.
H
Selectable display language: English, German, French, or
Italian.
H
A 20-key sealed-membrane keypad.
H
A keyswitch that can be used to restrict operator access to
certain functions, as selected for the application.
H
Operation from its battery pack, or by 115 volt AC
or 230 volt AC power .
The Hand-held Monitor screen is the operator’s
window to the Genius bus and all of its devices. It can
be used to display:
h
I/O data for any device on the bus.
h
Diagnostics.
h
Bus scan time.
h
Descriptions of all devices on the bus.
h
Global Data addresses.
h
Memory data from CPUs on the bus.
The Hand-held Monitor can also be used for device configuration, fault clearing, and forcing I/O circuits
and dual bus selection. It can also be set up to prevent the use of any of these capabilities.
A k ey feature of the Hand-held Monitor is its ability to communicate with I/O blocks and to force discrete
and analog I/O, whether or not there is a PLC or computer connected to the bus. This greatly simplifies
system check-out prior to full-scale system operation.

Charging the Battery Pack
When you receive a new Hand-held Monitor, its battery pack is not charged. Before
using a new battery pack to power the HHM for the first time, charge it by plugging the
adapter into a power source for 24 hours. After this initial charging, subsequent
rechanges will require only 16 hours.
Maintaining spare battery packs will allow the HHM to operate using one battery pack
while another is being charged.
If the battery pack won’t take a charge, it usually indicates a faulty battery pack, not a
faulty Hand-held Monitor. Try another batter y pack. Replacement (uncharged) batter y
packs are available.
If a battery pack is left uncharged for a long time, it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack from the HHM and charge it while removed for up to 15 minutes.

Replacing the Battery Pack
To replace the battery pack, use a Phillips screwdriver (size 0 or 1) to release the retaining
screw at the bottom of the HHM. Slide the battery pack out, insert another, and tighten
the screw.
Automatic Shutoff
To conserve power, the Hand-held Monitor automatically shuts off 10 minutes after the
last key is pressed. For applications where continual operation is preferred, the
automatic shutoff feature can be disabled. See page 3-5 for more information.

Changing the PROM
New features can be added to upgrade a Hand-held Monitor by replacing its PROM as
described below .
To prevent possible damage to the Hand-held Monitor, this operation should be
performed in an area equipped with suitable electrostatic discharge protection.
1. If the HHM is connected to AC power, disconnect it.
2. Remove the HHM battery pack as described on the previous page.
3. On the front of the Hand-held Monitor, remove the two Phillips-head screws located
near the 7 and HOME keys.
4. Gently raise the keyboard up from the bottom to release the lip between the
keyboard and the display.
Caution
5. Once this lip is free, open the keyboard to the right, as illustrated below. It is not
necessary to remove the ribbon connector .

7. If necessary, bend the pins on the PROM so they line up properly with the holes in
the socket. Bend the pins by pressing each side against a clean desk or table top as
shown below. If possible, a conductive mat should be used.

8. Insert the EPROM or Battery-Backed RAM into the socket.
IMPORTANT: Inserting the PROM backward can damage the Micro PLC and
destroy the PROM.

Newer PROMs may be physically longer, but all PROMs must be inserted flush with
the left edge of the socket, with the notch toward the ribbon connector.
9. Reposition the keyboard in its lip and tighten the two screws.
10. Reinstall the battery pack.

Permanent Installation
If the Hand-held Monitor is to be installed using the metal bracket provided, follow the
instructions below. Do not install the HHM yet if it will be used to configure I/O blocks.
The mounting bracket provid ed can be used to install the Hand-held Monitor behind a
panel. You will need to make a cutout in the panel for the HHM (see next page).
You will also need to install a connector for the Hand-held Monitor within reach of the
HHM’s cable. The extra D-shell connector provided with the Hand-held Monitor
requires a panel cutout, with the bus cable and Hand-held Monitor located on the
opposite sides of the panel (see page 2-8).
An optional panel-mountable or DIN rail-mountable connector is also available. It does
not require a cutout. See page 2-9 for details.

Installing the D -Shell HHM Connector
Follow the instructions below if you are installing the supplied D-shell connector on the
bus.
1. Using the mounting plate as a template, cut an opening in the panel for the mating
connector. Also drill two holes for the mounting hardware.
2. Attach the mounting plate and mating connector to the panel using the mounting
hardware supplied.
3. Secure the two ends* of the serial bus cable to the back of the panel using strain
relief brackets.
4. Strip the ends of the wires. Twist the two Serial 1 wires together and attach them to
pin 5 of the connector. Twist the Serial 2 wires together and attach them to pin 9.
Similarly, attach the Shield wire(s)* to pin 4.
The following illustration shows connections for incoming and outgoing serial bus
cable. As with other devices, the HHM connector may be at either end of its bus. If it
is, there will only be one bus cable attached.

When making bus connections, the maximum exposed length of bare wires should
be two inches. For added protection, each shield drain wire should be insulated with
spaghetti tubing to prevent the Shield In and Shield Out wires from touching each
other.
* If the HHM connector is at either end of its bus, it is necessary to install an
appropriate terminating resistor across the Serial 1 and Serial 2 wires. The Genius I/O
System and Communications User’s Manual lists appropriate terminating resistors for
each recommended bus cable type.

Making the Bus Connections
The HHM connector has two sets of terminals; one for incoming cable and the other for
outgoing cable.
Connect the Serial 1, Serial 2, and Shield In terminal of either connector to the previous
device. Connect the Serial 1, Serial 2, and Shield Out terminal of the other connector to
the next device.
When making bus connections, the maximum exposed length of bare wires should be
two inches. For added protection, each shield drain wire should be insulated with
spaghetti tubing to prevent the Shield In and Shield Out wires from touching each other.
The following illustration shows connections for incoming and outgoing serial bus cable.
As with other devices, the HHM connector may be at either end of its bus. If it is, there
will only be one bus cable attached.
