StarTalk DTM - Quick Start Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Document
This document details the installation and functions of the StarTalk® Device Type Manager
(StarTalk DTM) for the StarPac 3 System.
Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their training, experience and instruction
and their knowledge of relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention regulations and
operating conditions, have been authorized by those responsible for the safety of the plant to
perform the necessary work and who can recognize and avoid possible dangers.
Additionally, product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review the StarPac 3
System Instruction, Operation, Maintenance and Safety Manual prior to installing, operating, or
performing maintenance on the valve or positioner.
System Disclaimer
The installation instructions herein show an example of how to install, navigate, or commission
the StarTalk DTM in a WINDOWS 7 64 bit operating system, using the fdtCONTAINER 3 FRAME
Application. Any variation of operating system and/or FRAME application may result in a different
procedure to install, operate, or commission the StarTalk DTM Software.
Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms DANGER, CAUTION and NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight
particular dangers and/or to provide additional information on aspects that may not be readily
apparent.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve parts, DANGER and CAUTION notes must
be strictly followed. Modifying this product, substituting non-factory parts or using maintenance
procedures other than outlined could drastically affect performance and be hazardous to personnel
and equipment, and may void existing warranties.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical information, which may not be very obvious even to
qualified personnel.
CAUTION: Indicates that minor personal injury and/or property damage can occur if proper precautions
are not taken.
DANGER: Indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage can occur if
proper precautions are not taken.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasized notes, with regard to transport, assembly, operation
and maintenance and with regard to technical documentation (e.g., in the operating instruction, product
documentation or on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which in themselves might
directly or indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.

Setting the Jumpers
The StarPac II system has several jumpers that are used to configure the digital and discrete
I/O. Two jumpers are on the personality card (the small card in the lower right-hand side) and
are visible when the inner door is opened. The personality card must be removed to change the
discrete jumpers located on the board below the personality card. To remove the personality
card, remove the four small screws that hold the card in place and gently remove it by gripping
the notch at the lower right-hand corner of the card.
RS- 485 Termination - On the personality card there are two termination jumpers for the COMM
A and B for the RS-485 communications. These jumpers should only be installed on the two
most remote devices on the network. Count the host computer as any other device. For
example, a single StarPac system is communicating with a host PC in the control room. The
StarPac unit and the RS-485 driver in the host computer would each require a termination
jumper. Remove the termination jumpers in the devices not considered to be the most remote.
Using more than two termination jumpers in a network may cause the RS-485 communications
to fail.
Alarm Relay Setting - Under the personality card is a three position jumper labeled “Relay.” This
jumper, if set in the A-B position, configures the relay to Normally-open operation. If set to the B-
C position, the jumper configures the relay to Normally-closed operation.
Discrete Input Range Selection - Under the personality card are two sets of three position
jumpers labeled “DI1” and “DI2.” DI1 refers to discrete input No. 1 and DI2 to discrete input No.
2. In the A-B position the input is set to trigger on 120V AC or DC. In the B-C position the input is
set to trigger on 24V AC or DC. These jumpers must be moved in pairs for each individual relay,
but each relay may be setup differently.
