    2. Installation instructions

    2.1 Safety and maintenance

    Before opening the appliance, make sure that it is not powered up.
    The display may not be used in areas with risk of explosion.

    To clean, use only water or water with a mild liquid detergent.
    Do not use detergents containing abrasive substances or solvents.
    Do not clean with a high-pressure jet.

    2.2 Enclosure

    After unscrewing the cover, the electrical connection terminals are easily accessible. The terminal numbers are shown next to the terminal blocks.

    Power cables or connectors can be removed to make installation easier.

    To close the display, screw the cover back on, ensuring that the seal is firmly in place.

    2.3 Cable gland

    Remove the insert if the cable diameter is greater than 7mm. To do this, push the screwdriver in vertically and lever out the insert.

    4. Configuration

    Parameters such as communication protocol and baud rate can be set in three ways: via the push-button, via serial line or from a PC. Each approach is described in the following sections.

    4.1 Configuration using the button

    The display is configured using the push-button located near the electrical connection terminals.

    • To enter in the configuration mode, press the button until « CONFIG » is displayed, then release.
    • To increment, press on the button less than 0.5 seconds.
    • To decrement, press on the button between 0.5 and 1 second.
    • To go to the next parameter, press on the button until “NEXT” appears, then release it.
    • To exit the configuration mode, press on the button until “END” appears, then release. The display will
      restart automatically.
    4.1.1 General Reset

    During configuration, it may be useful to perform a general ‘RESET’ to reconfigure the display to factory settings. Here are the steps for performing a RESET:

    1. Switch off the display.
    2. Press and hold the push button.
    3. Switch on the display.
    4. Release the button once ‘DEFAUL’ is displayed.

    4.1.3 Procedure for the A100 model

    As the A100 model does not allow a letter to be displayed to show the parameters, it is necessary to print a mask below and place it on the display. Configuration is made possible by illuminating the parts of the mask corresponding to the parameters.

    The configuration procedure is the same as for the digital displays.

    Download the printable PDF by clicking here

    4.2 Direct setup

    This function is used to modify parameters via the existing transmission line.
    This type of programming allows access to parameters that are not accessible using the pushbutton or the V1000DGA PC program.

    To enable configuration, it is important that the RS232 or RS485 transmission frequency is the same as that configured in the display. It is therefore necessary to configure the display using the push-button to set the correct transmission frequency, see section “4. Configuration using the push-button”.

    If the following character string is transmitted, the following data is interpreted as configuration data.

    In ASCII :     {        \       _       @     #       *
    In HEX :    0x7B 0x5C 0x5F 0x40 0x23 0x2A

    The parameters can now be transmitted. Each parameter must begin with an ESC character (0x1B) and end with a CR (0x0D).

    Configuration mode ends when two successive CRs (0x0D) are sent. After this, the display automatically restarts with the new settings.

    The diagram below shows the character sequence to be transmitted.

    config_serie

    Please note: the new settings take effect once you exit programming mode.

    4.2.1 List of parameters

    The table below lists all the parameters available for configuration by serial line. The “Type” and “Data” columns contain the characters to be transmitted in ASCII code.

    4.3 PC configuration

    For displays with firmware 6.6c or earlier, configuration can be carried out using the V1000DGA program, available here as a download.

    Download V1000DGA by clicking here

    5. Instructions for updating the firmware

    The firmware is common to all types of display with the same number of characters.
    If required, the firmware can be adapted on request.
    Versions 6.0 and higher cannot be installed on displays with older firmware. If necessary, the controller circuit must be replaced.

    Installing the update software

    Copy the ‘MegaLoad.net’ file to your PC’s local hard drive.

    Firmware update

    • Copy the xxxxx.hex file to the PC’s local hard drive. If the file has a ‘.txt’ extension, it must be renamed to ‘.hex’.
    • Switch off the display power supply.
    • Connect the repeater to the PC via RS232 using the KadVPlus adapter. If you do not have this adapter, connect the RS232 bus to terminals 3 (GND), 4 (TX) and 5 (RX).
    • Run the ‘MegaLoad’ program and select the xxxxx.hex file.
    • Enter the COM port number and set the speed to 9600 baud.
    • Switch the display back on. Firmware loading should start automatically and is complete when the display restarts.
    • If this did not happen automatically when the device was rebooted following the update, it is important to perform a general reset (hold down the configuration button when powering up and release it when the display shows ‘DEFAUL’).

    6. Traffic light control

    Traffic lights can be controlled in two ways:

    1. Via potential-free contact inputs:

    • The contact between terminal 8 (5V output) and terminal 6 (A-RED) switches on the red light.
    • The contact between terminal 8 (5V output) and terminal 7 (A-GREEN) switches on the green light.

    This is the default behaviour of lights based on contact inputs. This behaviour can be changed by modifying parameter ‘F’ per serial line, see section “5. Configuration per serial line”.

    2. Via the protocol:

    The protocols used to control lights are defined in the “Manufacturer Protocols” table in the “Traffic light” column.

    6.1 Activation of TOR outputs

    The two inputs with potential-free contacts can be converted into a digital output. The status of the lights transmitted via the communication protocol will be reported on the status of the two transistors.

    Maximum current through the transistor : 200mA
    Maximum voltage: 50V

    To make this possible, a hardware modification and software configuration are required.

    activation_tor_schema
    Hardware modification:

    These changes must be made on both outputs (RED and GREEN).

    1. Break the bond on the two “I” bridges. To do this, use a sharp tool to cut the bond between the two tin surfaces. Use an ohmmeter to check that the connection is correctly broken.

    2. Make a soldering bridge with point “O”.

    Software configuration:

    To activate the digital outputs at software level, GPIO parameter ‘W’ must be set to output via serial line, as described in section “4.2 Direct setup”. The sequence to be transmitted is as follows:

    In ASCII :     {        \         _       @       #       *    <ESC>   W      1    <CR> <CR> <CR>
    In HEX :    0x7B  0x5C  0x5F  0x40  0x23  0x2A  0x1B  0x57  0x31  0x0D  0x0D  0x0D
