for all components are wired in series. The guidelines below
must be adhered to when installing a s stem.
1. Onl use recommended network cable. See cable
requirements.
2. Total distance of network cabling cannot exceed 2460 ft.
This is the sum of network cable between all network
devices.
3. All network devices all wired in series. A star network
cannot be used. Junction boxes are allowed, however,
the maximum distance from a junction box to a network
device is 9 ft. The ideal s stem would be wired from
network device to network device. See illustration 1
4. The network device at the beginning and the network
device at the end of the network must have its internal
120 ohm resistor set to the ON position. All other devices
in the network must have their internal 120 ohm resistor
set to the OFF position. See illustration 2, 3, 4 and 5 for

How the Networ Wor s
The main part of the software is stored in the I/O unit. The ke pad is the interface between the I/O unit and the operator.
In a multi I/O installation, there is alwa s an I/O which is the Master. The software recognizes onl the I/O 0 as the
Master. This Master I/O unit will store all the transactions and is the rela between the ke pads and the other I/O units.
These last ones will onl control the solenoids and pulse transmitters but will not store an transactions. The alwa s
receive their instructions from the Master I/O.
The following operations must be executed depending on the different installation configurations.
We recommend to structure the communication of the network before connecting the pulse transmitters and the
solenoids to the I Os.
1) Installation with 1 I/O unit, maximum 8 eypads and without PC
- All the I/O units are delivered with the ID 0, dont modif it.
- All the ke pads are delivered with the ID 0. A different ID number must be given to each ke pad.
- All the displa s are delivered with the ID 0, a different ID number must be given to each different displa .
Procedure to change the address of the keypad (ID):
This procedure must be done from each ke pad. At power up, all the ke pads will show:
VERSION n° #.##
I.D.: X Version Date (X is the address of the Ke pad)
1. Remove all the ke pads connectors or shut the power down.
2. Press the Space ke on the ke pad ou need to change and hold down.
3. Put back the connector or power on.
4. Release the Space ke ; the screen will show ou: ID?
5. T pe the ke pad ID number (0 to 7).
6. Press enter.
Execute the same procedure with different ID numbers for all the ke pads. On ever ke pad, ou have to give an address
for the ticket A & B printer setup.
When all the ke pads will be correctl identified b the network the will all show PIN.
Procedure to change the address of the display (ID):
1. Remove the displa s connector or shut the power down.
2. Change the address b using DIP switches on the PC board.
3. Put back the connector or power on.
4. The displa s identification can be checked via the software in test C.
2) Installation with multi (2-8) I/O, maximum 8 eypads without PC
- The 8 ke pads must be set to communicate with I/O 0.
- All the I/O units are delivered with the ID 0.
A different address (ID) must be given to each I/O unit.
- Regarding the address of the ke pad (ID), see procedure to change the address of the ke pad (ID).

Procedure to change the address of the I/O unit (ID)
1. Remove all the power connectors of all the I/O units.
2. Put back the power connectors of the highest I/O units. For example, if ou have 3 I/O units in the garage, put back
the power connector from the I/O corresponding to hoses #17 to 24.
3. Go to the closest ke pad, enter into the s stem configurations and install menu to set the minimum parameter.
See User Manual.
4. Go to the prompt change I/O ID.
5. Set I/O address to 2 (Hoses #17 to 24).
6. Exit the configuration procedure (go back to PIN).
7. Remove the I/O power connector.
8. Do the same procedure for I/O Number 1 (hoses #9 to 16).
9. Do the same procedure for I/O Number 0 (hoses 1 to 8).
The following are the minimum parameters which must be set correctly for each I O unit to set up the dispensing part of
the program. Refer to the Supervisor, Customer and S stem menus in the User Manual.
Minimum Parameters Factor Settings
- Initial Time-out 6 sec.
- Inactive Time-out 60 sec.
- Encoder t pe Single Channel
All of the above data must be the same on each I/O
Note: On an installation with PC, just b activation of the send option, the configuration (minimum parameters is automati-
call sent to all different I/O units. Except Date/Time, ou still have to program on each I/O.
The I/O address ID number is stored in a permanent memor which is read onl when the s stem is powered on. This is
the reason wh it is requested to power off and back on (or unplug and replug the power connector) the s stem after a
modification of the address.
Modification of the minimum parameters after configurations:
If one or more of the minimum parameters have to be modified on a multi I/O s stem, it will be necessar to change one of
the ke pads ID number to talk with the respective I/O. Following is an example if a minimum parameter has to be changed
on I/O Number 2.
1. Change the address of the closest ke pad (see procedure to change the address of the ke pad (ID)) into the
address ID number compatible with I/O ID number 2.
2. Enter in the s stem configuration and installation menu to modif one or more parameters.
3. Exit the configuration procedure (go back to PIN).
4. Reenter the original ke pad ID ou modified.
3) Installation with a PC, multi I/O and maximum 64 eypads
With the use of a PC, ou still need to :
- Give to each I/O a different address (ID); see procedure to change the address of the I/O unit (ID).
- Program Date and Time on each I/O.
- Give at each ke pad a displa a different address (ID); see Procedure to change the address of the ke pad (ID).
- Give at each displa a different address (ID); see procedure to change the address of the displa (ID).
- Configure the entire s stem, send the configuration through the network.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Do not forget that you need to clear all the transactions (Supervisor Menu) before any configuration!
In case of a problem, try to isolate the problem by changing the device that seems damaged.
Never try to repair a damaged item by yourself (not under warranty).
Therefore, you need to have spare parts with you.
1. Communication Problems:
The displa on the ke pad shows:
and does not switch to the prompt:
Check the following:
1. The network cable is wrong.
2. You have a Star network and not an IN Line network.
3. The jumper sockets are not in the In position at the beginning and the end of the CAN bus (120 Ohm between
CAN H and CAN L): See Illustrations 2, 3, 4 and 5.
IN: Resistor is fitted between CAN H and CAN L.
OUT: Resistor is not fitted between CAN H and CAN L.
4. The CAN L or CAN H wires are open.
5. CAN L and CAN H are inverted.
6. No 24 VDC power at the I/O unit.
7. Low Voltage (<9 VDC) at the I/O unit or at the ke pad.
8. Check the fuses on the I/O card.
Check the fuse and circuit breaker on the P.S.U.
9. The displa on the ke pad reads Inactive.
a. Power c cle s stem.
b. When the displa reads Inactive press enter one time. That should clear it.
ost Supervisor PIN
We have a method to release the s stem where the Supervisor PIN has been lost or illegall changed. This is based on
time and date and gives a different PIN ever hour.
If the customer calls needing the PIN, he should be asked for the time and date which is shown on the displa ever
minute. You have then to make the following calculation:
Month x 7891
Da x 3456
Hour X 4567
The PIN code to use will be the 4 last numbers of the addition.
Example: We are the 21st of Januar 1998 - 11:35 AM.
01 x 7891 = 7891
21 x 3456 = 72576
11 x 4567 = 50237
130704
The correct code is 0704.
Enter PIN No.

Form 403081
Now have the customer to enter an invalid PIN to reset the 9999 counter. He should now enter 9999 twice followed b the
PIN calculated above. On each entr the Invalid Pin message will be shown.
At this point, the default PINs will be reset (i.e. 9999-1111 and 2222).
2. Problems with the display:
If ou are in Test C (S stem Menu) and the addresses displa ed are not the same as these selected on the dip switches
(back of the card): shut the s stem off (or the wrong displa ), wait at least five seconds and switch the power back on.
- Check the displa allocation (S stem Menu) of the different hoses.
- Check the minimum power (9 vdc) at the displa .
- Check the network (CAN H and CAN L) at the displa .
- Replace the displa .
3. Problems with the solenoid valves:
- All the solenoids are open all the time: check the position of the override ke switch on the I/O box.
- You are in Test A (S stem Menu) and one or more solenoids are not working:
- Check the connections (Solenoids, I/O card)
- Check the voltage at the solenoid, there is ma be too much power-lost on the line?
- Check the continuit of the cables.
- Exchange the solenoid.
- You have an Pulser Error message, check in set encoder t pe if ou are in quadrature or in single pulse mode.
4. Problems with the pulsers:
