5. COMMUNICATIONS
5.1. Infrared Communication
ThePS-011hastwotypesof protocolforinfraredsso thatit cancommunicatewithbotholderdevicesfrom
the ALCAD range (compatible with this technology) and more recent devices which useIrDA technology.
It must be borne in mind, however, that IrDA technology enables communication that is faster and more
advanced in nature; consequently agreater quantity of data can be sent. On the other hand, it must be
pointed out that it has agreater directivity in communication, an important factor since it means that it
is essential to aim directly and with precision at the infrared receiver for communication to take place
properly.

9. CONFIGURATIONS
9.1. Concept of Installation for PS-011
Using the programmer it is possible to save and load configurations from one installation in order to
re-use these sameparameters in another installation.
ThePS-011Programmer doesnot distinguish betweeninstallations with asingle module and installations
with several modules. Rather, when it generates aconfiguration, it savesthe configuration of each device
belongingto that installation in thesamefile. Thus,it canhandle installationswith asinglemoduleas well
as installations with various devices without needing to change the internal structure of the configuration
files.
INSTALLATION
EQUIPMENT
EQUIPMENT 1
EQUIPMENT 2
Installation of 1module in 1rack
Installation of several modules in 1rack
Installation of several modules in 2different racks
It is the user who must identify each of the devices for his own convenience since only the device model
will be shownin theconfiguration. It is recommendedthatadefinite order and structurebe respected,for
example by generating a.cfi configuration file for each of the devices. In this way, in an installation with
two devices consisting of several modules each, each module can be identified numerically so that there
is no confusion between each configuration of each module and device.
9.2. How to Savethe Configurations
The PS-011 programmer offers the possibility of saving the configuration of both individual devices
and complex installations. Saved configurations can subsequently be used to program either modules
whose parameters are very similar (in the same installation, for example, when only avalue such as the
input or output channel changes) or installations where it is desired to replicate exactly some previous
installation.
When generating aconfiguration file, it is not necessary to indicate at the outset the type or the number
of moduleswhichare goingto be usedin theinstallation. Rather,moduleswill be addedto theinstallation
as they are programmed.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event that the programmer “freezes”, press the RESET button located on the side beneath the USB
port. Thiswill restart thesystemsafely.
It may happen that the batteries have insufficient charge to allow the system to start up properly, so that
the screen freezes as the programmer is starting up. To solve this problem, it is recommended that you
remove the batteries, then put them back, and connect the programmer to the electrical mains, leaving
it connected for a few seconds. You will then be able to turn the programmer on again. We strongly
recommend, however, that in such acase you carry out acomplete charging cycle of the batteries.
