____________________________________________________

How to Start or Run the WCC3.exe Program (SS5021)

The WCC3.exe shortcut icon should have been installed on your WCC III front end computer desktop with the WCC III Installation Software CD. The WCC III Installation Software CD is W attMaster Controls Part # DM1WC011-01X.

T o start the WCC3.exe program, double-click the left mouse button on the Shortcut Icon located on the Windows desktop.

After a short period of time, dependent upon the CPU speed of your Windows based computer and the speed of your IP connection to the internet, the WCC III T ype Connection Dialog Box will appear .

Using your mouse, left-click on the The Remote Access Dialog Window will appear.

By selecting <OK>, the WCC3.exe program will now start to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address connection. It should bring up the WCC III Set Password Dialog screen within a new window. If the IP address connection fails to connect to the WCC III – MCD, then another small dialog box window will appear. This is the Cannot Communicate to Backtask Dialog Box.

If you click <Yes>, you will exit the WCC3.exe program. You will have to ﬁ gure out why you cannot connect to the WCC III – MCD via the IP address connection.

If you click but instead you will be connected to the WCC III Main Menu. This connection to the WCC III Main Menu is not an actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” WCC III main menu screen window with no values. This “dummy” WCC III main menu screen window will allow you to view and see what the actual WCC3.exe screens will look like – minus any data.

<No>, you will not exit the WCC3.exe program,

<Access Job Site> button.

Server IP Address:

This is the static IP address of the WCC III – MCD. An IP Address is like a phone number on the world wide web. The IP address for the WCC III – MCD must be Static (does not change) as opposed to Dynamic (constantly changing). This static IP address must be provided by your internet service provider. (A static IP address is the preferred IP connection method for the WCC III system to function.) If you actually know the static IP address of the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to, please enter it here in the Server IP Address ﬁ eld, or better yet, continue to the Remote Access Dialog Window by selecting the

You can use a Dynamic IP Address with the WCC III – MCD, but you must then have what is called a static “Host Name”. This static “Host name” must then be provided by your internet service provider and is limited to 58 total characters.

Port Number:

The WCC3.exe program opens a two-way , secure communications port that then allows for communication between the WCC III – MCD and the WCC3.exe program that is running on the WCC III Front end computer. This IP Address connection is done on a higher address port number than normal (WCC III connection is port number 39289) to help reduce the risk of computer hacking.

on setting up Operator Codes) Click “Current Pass Level:” stays at 0 or higher (1, 2, or 3) then click

<OK>. By selecting <OK>, the WCC3.exe program will now start

to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address connection. It should bring up the WCC III Main Menu within a new window. If the “Current Pass Level:” changes to –1 then you do not have access to the WCCIII – MCD. If you do not have access to the WCCIII – MCD and you click then this connection to the WCC III Main Menu is not an actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” WCC III Main Menu window with no values. This “dummy” WCC III Main Menu window will allow you to view and see what the actual WCC3.exe screens will look like – minus any data.

Running the WCC3 Program

The Remote Access Dialog Box will allow you to enter multiple WCC III – MCD IP addresses based upon “Job Site” names. This is done by typing in the name of the jobsite you wish to call your system.

First you must select a “BLANK” line in the bottom box area with your left mouse button. (This line will then be highlighted in “Blue”.) You must then enter a Job Site name in the “Job Site” ﬁ eld, along with the static IP address and Port number (39289) for the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCC3. exe program.

If you are using a static “Host Name” instead of a static IP address please make sure that the Dynamic Address check box has been selected, along with the static “Host Name” in the space provided. As mentioned previously, you must get this static “Host Name” from your internet service provider, and it is limited to 58 characters total.

Please note that this “Job Site” name will also be the name of a subdirectory that will automatically be created in the Local disk C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory on the WCC III Front end computer. The Remote Access Dialog Box also creates a JobSite.dat data ﬁ le in the C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory. This data ﬁ le is not a viewable type of ﬁ le. The JobSite.dat ﬁ le can be copied and then can be used on other WCC III front end computers. This reused JobSite.dat will then recreate the needed “Job Site” subdirectories on the other WCC III front end computers upon the reselection of the Job Site IP address.

In an already ﬁ lled out Remote Access Dialog Box, you can simply select from the list of previously entered Job Sites that are displayed in the bottom box ﬁ eld. Then left-click back to the Connection Dialog Box that was ﬁ rst displayed. This Connection Dialog Box now should have the desired IP address in the Server IP Address location ﬁ eld and the port number (39289) in the Port Number location ﬁ eld for the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCC3.exe program.

<OK>. This will take you

IP Address:

This is the static IP address where the WCC III – MCD is located. An IP Address is like a phone number on the world wide web. The IP address for the WCC III – MCD must be static (does not change) as opposed to Dynamic (constantly changing). This static IP Address must be provided by your internet service provider. (A static IP address is the preferred IP connection method for the WCC III system to function.)

This is the name of the jobsite you wish to call your system. Please note that this name will also be the name of a subdirectory that will automatically be created in the Local disk C:\ProgramFiles\ WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory.

Host Name:

You can use a Dynamic IP Address with the WCC III – MCD, but you must then have what is called a static “Host Name”. This static “Host name” must then be provided by your internet service provider and is limited to 58 total characters.

When you have ﬁ lled out all necessary ﬁ elds, left-click This will take you back to the Connection Dialog Box that was ﬁ rst displayed. This Connection Dialog Box now should have the desired IP address in the Server IP Address location ﬁ eld and the port number (39289) in the Port Number location ﬁ eld for the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCC3.exe program.

Special Purpose Keys

The special purpose keys are a very powerful and necessary part of the WCC III system, but they can also be very dangerous if you are not sure how to use them. Therefore, most of the special purpose keys require that the operator have a Level 3 passcode.

<Ctrl><A>: Acknowledge Alarms—Used at the Analog

Input Summary Screen, Trend Log Run Time Scr een, Alarm Summary Screen, and Global Analog/Binary Summary Screen.

<Ctrl><G>: Display Graphs—Used at the Analog T rend

Screen, Pr oportional Reset Screen, and the Look-up T able Screen to plot data.

<Ctrl><K>: Clear Communication Errors—Used at

Satellite Summary Screen for troubleshooting, clears communication errors on a single satellite.

<Ctrl><R>: Manually Reset (Clear) Data—Used at the Trend Log Screen, Global Analog Integral Mode to reset accumulated consumption, Energy Consumption Screen to reset consumption.

< Ctrl><Home>: Clear Input Data from Present Screen

(clear structure)—Cursor must be in the Home position on the screen.

<Ctrl><U> Toggle Updating—Used on Custom Screens and

Bitmap Screens to “freeze/unfreeze” the data being displayed.

<Ctrl><A>: Acknowledge Alarms

When an alarm occurs within the system, the alarm condition appears on its respective summary screen as a ﬂ ashing display generally on the right side of the screen. Once the alarm has been acknowledged, one of two possible conditions will be displayed.

The ﬁ rst condition is when an alarm is acknowledged, but the alarm remains outside of the alarm limits. When this happens, the alarm information is still displayed on the screen, but it appears solid instead of blinking. The second condition is when an alarm is acknowledged AND the alarm is inside the alarm limits. In this case, all alarm information for that point is cleared from the screen.

To acknowledge new (blinking) alarms, position the cursor (>) at the point for which you wish to acknowledge alarms. Once positioned, press and hold

<Ctrl>, then press <A>, and then release

both keys at the same time.

<Ctrl><G>: Display Graphs

The WCC III system has graphs for the Analog Trend Screen, the Proportional Reset Scr een, and the Look-Up Table Scr een that can

be displayed on the screen and can be printed on the printer using the

<File>, <Print> command.

The graph for the Analog Trend - T rend Logging Scr een is accessed while the cursor is at the Home position of an Analog Trend Scr een. Press <Ctrl><G>. Press the <Home> key to return to the Analog Trend Screen.

<Ctrl><F> Find Logic Address—Used on Custom Screens

and Bitmap Screens to ﬁ nd the exact location where a point was placed on the screen.

<Ctrl><D> Delete Logic Address—Used on Custom

Screens and Bitmap Screens to delete the location where a point was placed on the screen.

The Proportional Reset Screen also has a graph that can be accessed by pressing

<Ctrl><G> while the cursor is anywhere on

the Proportional Reset Screen. Press the <Home> key to return to the Proportional Reset Scr een.

To access the graph for the Look-Up Tables (GA 121-128), while the cursor is at any position on a Global Analog Look-Up Table, press

<Ctrl><G> to display the Look-Up Table graph. Press the

<Home> key to return to the Global Analog Look-Up Table.

WCC III Technical Guide

WCC3.EXE SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS

Special Purpose Keys

<Ctrl><K>: Clear Communication Errors The WCC III system keeps track of the transmission and receive

errors between the MCD Internet appliance and the satellite controllers on the Satellite Summary Screen. The <Ctrl><K> feature clears the existing number of errors and is used for troubleshooting purposes.

<Ctrl><R>: Reset Trend Logs or Global Analog Accumulation Screens

When you are at a Trend Logging Screen and wish to reset (clear) the existing trend log data on the particular screen, simply press

<Ctrl><R>. This should automatically reset (clear) the data on the

Trend Log Scr een. On new systems, the Trend Log Screens should be reset before they have been programmed to clear out any “bad data” that might be in the satellite controller.

The

<Ctrl><R> feature is also used to reset the global analogs

using the integral mode and the Energy Consumption Scr een.

If the system is trying to e-mail-out an alarm and it cannot report its information for some reason, the system will continue to try and e-mail the call-out forever unless you press

<Ctrl><R> while the

cursor is at the “Disabled by” position for that alarm type on the System Parameters Screen.

<Ctrl><Home>: Clear Input Data from Present Screen

You must be a Level 3 user for <Ctrl><Home> to work. <Each screen (or point) has data which is saved in the memory of the MCD or the satellite controller. Before any processing of the data entered on a screen is performed, the system checks the point’s “structure valid” indicator to insure that the data it contains is valid and properly formed. If the point is not valid, then that point is skipped and processing continues with the next point. In addition, all summary data is removed from that point’s summary screen.

T o clear a screen (invalidate it), the cursor must be in the “Home” position on the individual screen that is to be cleared. Once there, press

<Ctrl><Home>. The data on the screen should be cleared

away. Once you have cleared a point, the data for that point is lost, and it cannot be recovered. Therefore, make sure you have the right point before using

<Ctrl-U>: Toggle Updating

<Ctrl><Home>.

The values of the WCC III points on the Custom Screen are “dynamic.” That is, the values on the screen will change as the value of the point changes. However, you have the option of “freezing” the points at their present value by pressing

<Ctrl>

and <U> while the Custom Screen is displayed on the monitor. To return to “live” data, press

<Ctrl> and <U> again.

<Ctrl-F> and <Ctrl-D>: Delete a Point Address on the Custom Screen

To delete a point on the Custom Screen, ﬁ rst you must have the cursor in the exact location it was when the point was placed on the screen. To simplify ﬁ nding this location, you may move the cursor near the existing point and then press <Ctrl> and <F> simultaneously to cause the cursor to move to the exact position where the point was created. You may delete the point by pr essing

<Ctrl> and <D> simultaneously, and then pr essing <Enter>. The

four slashes (////) will then appear. You may enter a new point, or to remove the slashes, leave the screen by pressing <Home> twice, and then re-access the screen.

The information associated with the screens within this category is stored in the satellite controllers and IS NOT stored in the MCD. It is a very good idea to save this information on a back-up disk by using the Satellite Save/Restore program located in the WCC

Utility Program.

Overview

This section allows the operator to perform operations and view screens which affect all of the satellite controllers on the system.

The information associated with the screens located in this category is stored in the MCD. When the screens in this category are programmed for the ﬁ rst time, or when a change is made to these screens, the system automatically stores the information on the data disk.

Central Unit

The screens located in this category are GLOBAL commands. Global commands “travel” along the two-wire communication loop and are used by any or all of the satellite controllers. All of the satellites are constantly monitoring this information but only certain satellites will react to the information depending on how they have been programmed. The information associated with the screens located in this category is stored in the MCD. When the screens in this category are programmed for the ﬁ rst time or when a change is made to these screens, the system automatically stores the information on the hard drive disk.

An analog input is a signal sent to the satellite controller that can be represented by a number such as temperature, pressure, etc. The Analog Input Screen is used to “tell” the WCC III system the characteristics of the sensor and to set alarm limits. The “Binary Setpoint” option at the bottom of the Analog Input Screen can be used to convert the analog input to a binary (On/Off) input.

Analog Inputs

Speciﬁ es the summary type to be displayed. Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, the list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

<Analog Input, Control Output, Analog Output,

Trend Logging, Logic Switch, Binary Output>

The current value of the analog input is automatically displayed here.

Alarm Limits

The alarm limits which were input on the Analog Input Screens will automatically be displayed here.

Stat

The present “ON” or “OFF” status of the binary input which is controlling the schedule for the alarm limits is shown here. For example, if week schedule #1 (W1) has been input to control the schedule of the alarm limits, the message “ON” will appear here when week schedule #1 is “ON” and “OFF” will appear when week schedule #1 is “OFF”. When W1 is “ON” the “On Schedule” alarm limits will be active, and when W1 if “OFF” the Off Schedule” alarm limits will be active.

Mode

The “alt” message will appear here when the alternate alarm limits are active. When the input value which has been entered on the Analog Input Screen to select the alternate alarm limits is “ON,” the WCC III system will use the “Alternate Alarm Limits” and the “alt” message will be displayed here.

Alarm Details

This location will automatically display the alarm message, the high or low value of the analog input, and the time and date of the occurrence of the peak value.

When an alarm occurs, the alarm message will blink on the screen. To acknowledge an alarm, position the cursor at the point for which you wish to acknowledge the alarm. Then press or left-click on <Action> to bring up the <Action> menu at which point you can select <Acknowledge Alarm> or <Acknowledge

Sensor Type

This is a choice ﬁ eld for Analog types only. A list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

<General, Thermistor, Resistor,

Resistor+, RawCount, Thermistor+>

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired Analog Type has been selected and then pressing

<Enter>.

General = A general use user programmable analog input screen.

Pulse = Speciﬁ es the calibration information for the pulse meter connected to channel 1 of the satellite controller.

Thermistor = Used to setup WattMaster 10K type 3 curve thermistors.

Resistor = Used to measure resistance of a variable potentiometer.

Resistor+ = Used to setup different types of thermistors. WattMaster thermistors are 10K type 3 curve. You would enter values on the screen to correspond to different values and type curves of thermistors.

RawCount = Is the raw count value straight from the 12 bit A to D converter. Used for testing and or calibrating to see if the analog signal is linear, so that you may test the non-linear curve of any sensor to determine if any offset is needed.

Thermistor+ = T o be used if you are using a thermistor type sensor that WattMaster Controls has not provided. Other thermistor type sensors can be connected to the Satellite controller’s analog inputs with this screen. Please consult the WattMaster Controls factory for all other thermistor type sensors that you wish to connect to the Satellite Controller. WattMaster Controls can provide the correct b0, b1, b3 values at our option.

Pattern for Values Associated With This Input:

Speciﬁ es where you would like the decimal point to appear in the value displayed by the system. Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, a list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

< x,xxx , xxx.x , xx.xx , x.xxx >

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired data pattern has been selected and then pressing

<Enter>.

Units @ 0% scale: @ Full scale:

If the screen type is “ANALOG,” this speciﬁ es the scaling information used by the system to proportionally scale the input value to the desired range. The raw input value to the satellite controller ranges from zero to one volt. If the scaling information has been set to 0 at 0% scale, and 100 at Full scale, a raw input value of 0.6 volts would produce a scaled value of 60.

If the screen type is “PULSE,” this speciﬁ es the calibration information for the pulse meter connected to channel 1 of the satellite controller. The ﬁ rst input is a “choice” ﬁ eld, and therefore a list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

_______ Pulses = _______ Hours

< 100, 1000 >

The second input is used to “scale” or “calibrate” the particular sensor that is being used. For example, consider a pulse meter which measures the kwh of a building. Electrical meters are basically a small motor whose speed is proportional to power being used. Let’s consider a meter where one revolution equals one kwh, and the meter sends 5 pulses to the satellite controller for every 6 revolutions. Therefore, we would enter “100 Pulses = 120 kwh Hours.” (NOTE: maximum pulse rate allowed = 4 pulses per second.)

5 pulses = 6 revolutions 1 revolution = 1 kwh 5 pulses = 6 kwh 100 pulses = 120 kwh

Units of Measure Message #: 1

A number is entered here that references a message on the On/Off Units Messages Screen. For example, if units-of-measure message

#1 is “Deg F,” entering “1” will cause “Deg F” to be displayed as the units-of-measure for the analog input.

Filter Time Constant: ____ Seconds

Speciﬁ es the sampling rate of the analog input. This is used by the satellites to “ﬁ lter” (or smooth) the analog input signal. This can be used on inputs that “jump around” to reduce sporadic load control. Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, the list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

< 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 >

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired ﬁ lter time constant has been selected and then pressing

<Enter>.

Speciﬁ es the binary value that selects the ON or OFF alarm limits. When this value is OFF , the OFF alarm limits are selected; when it is ON, the ON alarm limits are selected.

Alarm Type:

Speciﬁ es the priority (or “importance”) level for any alarms generated by this input. Alarm types range from one (highest priority) to eight (lowest priority). The system displays and e-mails higher priority alarms ﬁ rst. (The ﬁ rst ﬁ ve alarm priorities (1-5) have e-mail-out-on-alarm capabilities.)

Alarm Message # Low: ___ High: ___

Speciﬁ es a pair of message numbers, one for LOW alarms and the second for any HIGH alarms. These numbers are used by the system to reference a message which is entered on the Alarm Message Screen.

Alternate Limits Selected By:

Speciﬁ es the point that initiates the Alternate mode. When this address is zero (or OFF), the Normal alarm limits are selected; when it is one (or ON), the Alternate alarm limits are selected.

Limits Low High On _____ _____ °. F Off _____ _____ °. F On (alt) _____ _____ °. F Off (alt) _____ _____ °. F Local Set _____ _____ °. F

There are two ﬁ elds on this screen that determine which set of limits are active—the status of the “Controlled by” ﬁ eld and the status of the “Alternate Limits selected by” ﬁ eld. When the value that has been input in the “Controlled by” ﬁ eld is ON, either the “On” limits or the “On (Alt)” limits are active depending on the status of the value input in the “Alternate Limits selected by” ﬁ eld. If the value in the “Alternate” ﬁ eld is On, the “On (Alt)” limits are used, and when the “Alternate” value is OFF, the “On” limits are used.

Alternate Limits Active Alarm Controlled by: Selected by: Limits:

On Off On On On On (Alt) Off Off Off Off On Off (Alt)

The local set alarm limits become active if the MCD quits communicating with the satellite controller. After communications are re-established, any alarms that occurred while the satellite was in local set will be reported.

Limit overlap time after control change:

This speciﬁ es the amount of time the WCC software will wait after a control change (i.e., on/off schedule, alternate mode, local set mode) before deciding to generate an alarm. The ﬁ rst input is a user-entered number from 1 to 60, and the second input is either seconds or minutes. This second input is a “choice” ﬁ eld; the list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

<Seconds, Minutes>

This group of inputs speciﬁ es the alarm limits for the “Normal,” “Alternate,” and “Local Set” modes. Each mode has a LOW and HIGH limit. When the value of the analog input goes out of these limits, an alarm is generated, and the alarm will automatically display and e-mail out.

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired choice is selected and then pressing <Enter>.

On Message #: Off Message #:

Speciﬁ es a pair of message numbers, the ﬁ rst for the ON state and the second for the OFF state of the comparator. These numbers are used by the system to reference a message on the ON/OFF Units Message Screen. For example, the comparator might be set up to come on when the outside air temperature is below 55 °F for economizer operation. Set up the On/Off Message Screen so that message #3 is “ECON” and message #4 is “REFRIG.” The “On Message” number would be “3” (ECON), and the “OFF Message” number would be “4” (REFRIG).

Speciﬁ es how you would like the temperature displayed, in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, a list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

< ºF, ºC >

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired temperature choice has been selected and then pressing

<Enter>.

Offset:

There is an option to change the calibration of a thermistor sensor (Usually due to the position or location of the thermistor sensor) a few degrees plus or minus from the actual temperature that the thermistor sensor is actually reading. Acceptable values in this ﬁ eld are numerical with both positive and negative (+/-) values.

Units of Measure Message #: 1

A number is entered here that references a message on the On/Off Units Messages Screen. For example, if units-of-measure message

#1 is “Deg F,” entering “1” will cause “Deg F” to be displayed as the units-of-measure for the analog input.

Filter Time Constant: ____ Seconds

Speciﬁ es the sampling rate of the analog input. This is used by the satellites to “ﬁ lter” (or smooth) the analog input signal. This can be used on inputs that “jump around” to reduce sporadic load control. Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, the list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

< 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 >

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired ﬁ lter time constant has been selected and then pressing

<Enter>.

------ALARMS------

Controlled by:

Speciﬁ es the binary value that selects the ON or OFF alarm limits. When this value is OFF , the OFF alarm limits are selected; when it is ON, the ON alarm limits are selected.

Alarm Type:

Speciﬁ es the priority (or “importance”) level for any alarms generated by this input. Alarm types range from one (highest priority) to eight (lowest priority). The system displays and e-mails higher priority alarms ﬁ rst. (The ﬁ rst ﬁ ve alarm priorities (1-5) have e-mail-out-on-alarm capabilities.)

Alarm Message # Low: ___ High: ___

Speciﬁ es a pair of message numbers, one for LOW alarms and the second for any HIGH alarms. These numbers are used by the system to reference a message which is entered on the Alarm Message Screen.

3-22

Alternate Limits Selected By:

Speciﬁ es the point that initiates the Alternate mode. When this address is zero (or OFF), the Normal alarm limits are selected; when it is one (or ON), the Alternate alarm limits are selected.

Analog Input Thermistor Screen

Limits Low High On _____ _____ °. F Off _____ _____ °. F On (alt) _____ _____ °. F Off (alt) _____ _____ °. F Local Set _____ _____ °. F

This group of inputs speciﬁ es the alarm limits for the “Normal,” “Alternate,” and “Local Set” modes. Each mode has a LOW and HIGH limit. When the value of the analog input goes out of these limits, an alarm is generated, and the alarm will automatically display and e-mail out.

There are two ﬁ elds on this screen that determine which set of limits are active—the status of the “Controlled by” ﬁ eld and the status of the “Alternate Limits selected by” ﬁ eld. When the value that has been input in the “Controlled by” ﬁ eld is ON, either the “On” limits or the “On (Alt)” limits are active depending on the status of the value input in the “Alternate Limits selected by” ﬁ eld. If the value in the “Alternate” ﬁ eld is On, the “On (Alt)” limits are used, and when the “Alternate” value is OFF, the “On” limits are used.

Alternate Limits Active Alarm Controlled by: Selected by: Limits:

On Off On On On On (Alt) Off Off Off Off On Off (Alt)

The local set alarm limits become active if the MCD quits communicating with the satellite controller. After communications are re-established, any alarms that occurred while the satellite was in local set will be reported.

Limit overlap time after control change:

This speciﬁ es the amount of time the WCC software will wait after a control change (i.e., on/off schedule, alternate mode, local set mode) before deciding to generate an alarm. The ﬁ rst input is a user-entered number from 1 to 60, and the second input is either seconds or minutes. This second input is a “choice” ﬁ eld; the list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

<Seconds, Minutes>

------ BINARY SETPOINTS ------

____Above:____ ____Below:____

These inputs are used to convert the analog signal to a binary (On/ Off) signal. The value that is going ON and OFF is a software point referred to as a comparator. Each analog input has a comparator associated with it named “Cn.” The comparator for analog input #1 is “C1,” analog input number 2 is “C2,” and so on. The status of the comparator can be seen on the Analog Input Summary Screen.

When the user has selected:

OFF Above & OFF Below:

OFF Above & ON Below:

ON Above & OFF Below:

ON Above & ON Below:

Because this is a “choice” ﬁ eld, a list of available choices will be displayed at the bottom of the screen:

You may make your selection by pressing the <space bar> until the desired choice is selected and then pressing

On Message #: Off Message #:

Speciﬁ es a pair of message numbers, the ﬁ rst for the ON state and the second for the OFF state of the comparator. These numbers are used by the system to reference a message on the ON/OFF Units Message Screen. For example, the comparator might be set up to come on when the outside air temperature is below 55 °F for economizer operation. Set up the On/Off Message Screen so that message #3 is “ECON” and message #4 is “REFRIG.” The “On Message” number would be “3” (ECON), and the “OFF Message” number would be “4” (REFRIG).

The value of the comparator is:

OFF when the Analog Input value is greater than the ABOVE setpoint or less than the BELOW setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value is equal to either one or between the two setpoints.

OFF when the Analog Input value is greater than or equal to the ABOVE setpoint or until the Analog Input value becomes less than the BELOW setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value is less than or equal to BELOW setpoint or until the Analog Input value becomes greater than the ABOVE setpoint.

OFF when the Analog Input value is less than or equal to the BELOW setpoint or until the Analog Input value becomes greater than the ABOVE setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value is greater than or equal to the ABOVE setpoint or until the Analog Input value becomes less than the BELOW setpoint.

OFF when the Analog input value is equal to either one or between the two setpoints, and ON when the Analog Input value is greater than the ABOVE setpoint or less than the BELOW setpoint.

An Input Load Resistor must not be used. Internally, the SAT III controller calculates the resistance of the thermistor back to a Voltage so that the SAT III controller can calculate the proper temperature. RX corresponds to X = 1 to 8 for the Analog Input load resistor. Example as follows: R1 is for Analog Input #1 (NO RESISTOR SHOULD BE INSTALLED) R8 is for Analog Input #8 (NO RESISTOR SHOULD BE INSTALLED) Testing with an Ohmmeter: Disconnected from the SAT III controller, measure from TMP to GND on the sensor. You should get an ohm meter measurement that corresponds to the Temperature. 10,000 ohms equals 77.0 DegF

Input Jumper must be set to THERM There are berg jumpers that are under the SAT III cover that must be set. JOX corresponds to X = 1 to 8 for the Analog Input jumper. Example: JO1 is for Analog Input #1 JO8 is for Analog Input #8
