You can power several modules from the
same transformer if you maintain the same
polarity.
The UNI/16 has an operating range of
21.6VAC to 26.4VAC. If voltage measured at
the module’s power input terminals is outside
this range, the module may not work
properly.
1. Turn the module’s power off. This
prevents the module from being powered
up before the proper voltage is verified.
2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.
3. Connect the power wires to the module’s
power terminals labeled Ground and
24VAC.
4. Apply power to the transformer.
5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the
module’s power input terminals.
6. Set the module’s address. Refer to
“Addressing”on page 5 for details about
setting the address.
7. Turn the module’s power switch on.
When the module turns on, the Power,
Run and Error LEDs turn on and the Run
and Error LEDs begin blinking. The Error
LED then turns off. (See “LEDs”on page 7
for more information about LED signals.)
Communicating with the
UNI/16
The UNI/16 connects to the CMnet through
an EIA-485 CMnet port. A five-pin EIA-485
port provides two connections to U-Line
modules on the Unet. You can connect an
optional BACview1or BACview2keypad
display unit to the keypad display port (see
Figure 2).
NOTE The EIA-232 port, labeled “Diag Port”
in Figure 2 is reserved for future diagnostic
capabilities. This feature is not yet available.
You must use SuperVision to transfer memory
to the UNI/16. You can connect a portable
computer running SuperVision to the UNI/16
using the module’s Access port. For more
information about connecting to a
workstation, refer to “Communicating with
the Workstation”on page 6.

Connecting the UNI/16 to the U-Line
modules
The UNI/16 supports up to 16 U-Line
modules. The baud rate of the Unet is set on
the module driver Parameter page. Refer to
the U1M Module Driver document for more
information.
Automated Logic Corporation recommends a
specific wire for both power and
communications on the Unet. This wire,
which contains a pair of 14AWG wires for
power and a pair of 22AWG wires for
communication, is available from:
Magnum Cable Corporation
Cleveland, OH 44110-0500
[phone]
Product number A3U-LINE
Note that the communication wire is
unshielded. Shielded cable is not required for
the Unet.
Use the Unet connection port to connect the
UNI/16 to the U-Line modules. The Unet
connection port can make two connections to
the Unet, as shown in Figure 3. Make sure the
Unet connection port configuration jumpers
are set to UNI and EIA-485 (see Figure 4).
Make sure that all U-Line modules and the
TNPB use the same polarity throughout the
subnet. You can verify that the UNI/16 is
communicating with the subnet by making
sure the Unet transmit and receive LEDs are
active.
When adding a new U-Line module to an
existing subnet, you must transfer memory to
the UNI/16 before the new card is recognized.
Connecting the UNI/16 to the CMnet
When communicating on an ARC156 CMnet,
use an A3ARC156 wire available from
Magnum Cable Corp. Use a dedicated 22AWG
to 18AWG twisted pair wire for legacy CMnet
(EIA-485) wiring. For more information about
CMnet wiring, refer to the Technical Handbook
or to the ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical
Instructions.
To set the baud rate at 156 kbps (when using
an ARC156 CMnet), set the baud rate jumper
to Arc156 (see Figure 5 on page 5).
To set the baud rate at 38.4 kbps, set the baud
rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first
switch on the eight-position DIP switch to
38.4K (see Figure 6 on page 5).
To set the baud rate at 9600 bps, set the baud
rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first
switch on the eight-position DIP switch to
9600 (see Figure 6).
You can verify that the UNI/16 is
communicating on the CMnet by making sure
the CMnet transmit and receive LEDs are
active.

Addressing
The UNI/16 has an eight-position DIP switch
for assigning the module’s CMnet address.
Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the UNI/16’s power is off, since the
UNI/16 only reads the address when the
module is turned on. After changing the
address, you must transfer memory to the
module. Refer to the section “Transferring
Memory”.
Switches two through eight of the DIP switch
are labeled with addressing values. The
values of the switches in the on position are
added together to determine the module’s
address. For example, in Figure 7 switch
numbers six and seven are both on, giving the
module an address of six.
Transferring Memory
The UNI/16 module can store the U1M
module driver and up to 16 Graphic Function
Blocks (GFBs), depending on the size of the
GFBs. All GFBs stored in the UNI/16 must be
made using the Zone GFB option in Eikon.
Refer to the Eikon User’s Guide for more
information.
To transfer GFBs to the UNI/16, you must use
SuperVision version 2.6b or later software,
and you must use FBLINK version 2.7a or
later. For more information about using
SuperVision, refer to the SuperVision User’s
Guide.
The first memory transfer to the UNI/16 takes
longer than subsequent memory transfers.
1. Connect your workstation or portable
computer to the UNI/16. Refer to
“Communicating with the Workstation”on
page 6.
2. Navigate to the module driver and look at
the module status report in SuperVision to
make sure the module type and number
agree with the module.

4. When the memory transfer is finished,
check the module status report again.
Make sure the FB List on this page shows
all the FBs you intended to transfer.
Using Flow Sensors
The UNI/16 supports U-Line modules that use
flow sensors. You must calibrate each sensor
to ensure accurate readings. Use the
calibration instructions on the Parameter
page of each FB that uses a flow sensor. You
must indicate on the U1M’s Parameter page
(in the U-Card Flow Control section) how air
flow is controlled by each U-Line module.
Refer to the U1M Module Driver document for
details.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you are having trouble communicating with
the UNI/16, check these items before
contacting Technical Support.
•Make sure the U-Line wiring is correct.
In more complex systems, make sure
that all cables involved are attached
correctly.
•Make sure the UNI/16 and the U-Line
modules have power and are turned on.
In more complex systems, make sure all
equipment has power and is turned on.
Some devices, especially
communication devices, receive power
from a source other than a power cable
or adapter (for example, some devices
receive power through communication
lines). Some panels can be reinitialized
by resetting the panel.
•Make sure the module driver and all
GFBs are transferred into the module.
You can verify this by checking the
module status page for the UNI/16
module.
•Make sure the module driver
parameters and the parameters for each
GFB are set up properly in SuperVision.
Communicating with the Workstation
You can connect a workstation or portable
computer directly to the UNI/16 module using
an APT and the module’s Access port (see
Figure 8). This type of connection can be used
to troubleshoot the module or transfer
memory.
The baud rate of the Access port is
determined by the first switch on the eight-
position DIP switch (see Figure 7 on page 5). If
you need to change the switch’s position, turn
the UNI/16 module off first. Once you have
adjusted the switch, turn the module back on.
1. Connect the computer’s serial port to the
EIA-232 port of the APT using a standard
straight-through serial cable.
2. Set the APT’s Mode Select switch.
•On an ARC156 CMnet, use the TTL
setting.

3. Connect the Access port of the APT to the
Access port of the module.
4. In SuperVision, define the connection type
using Table 1.
Formatting the Module
When you are unable to communicate with a
module, you can, as a last resort, manually
format the module to try to restore
communication. Formatting the module
erases all memory, so you need to transfer
memory back to the module once it is
formatted.
1. Turn the module’s power off.
2. Make sure the module is addressed
correctly.
3. Press and hold the Format button (see
Figure 2 on page 3 for location).
4. While continuing to hold the Format
button, turn the module’s power on.
5. Continue to hold the button until the Error
LED flashes three times in sync with the
Run LED.
6. Release the Format button.
7. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to
“Transferring Memory”on page 5.
