Introduction
The Orenco custom VeriComm(VCOM) control panel provides system operators with
unparalleled control, maintenance, and management of their onsite systems. System operators
can manage multiple alarm conditions reported from onsite systems. Extensive alarm data can
be maintained on each alarm occurrence, enabling the operator to track system performance
and to ensure regulatory requirements. Alarm conditions can be automatically reported to the
appropriate service personnel via numeric pagers.
Operators can also review operating data; adjust system parameters; maintain site, alarm, and
user information; and generate various reports on system performance.
VeriCommsystems are password-protected to ensure that only authorized operators are
allowed to make changes. Access levels are assigned with each password.
This manual describes how to use the PC based HyperTerminal program to remotely access or
connect directly to custom VCOM panels. The Windows depicted in the manual may vary from
what will actually appear, depending on the version of Windows that is being used. If questions
or concerns arise during start-up, you can make an appointment with Orenco’s electrical design
group, and they will guide you through the start-up process.
