potentially delay any AquaManager alarm emails from being sent.
- To disable the serial to ethernet device from sending alarms, clear all four
email addresses from the Communication → Ethernet menus. Clear the email
addresses by using the “Spc” (space) key on the numeric keypad. Save change
at numeric keypad and press
to save configuration and return to Run
Screen.
Ethernet Module Error Message
At power up, the serial to ethernet device will generate an error message if it cannot
properly handshake with the 5X00 hardware. If this error occurs, communication
(AquaManager and 5X00 alarm emails) will not work via TCP/IP. The error could
be a result of incorrect serial to ethernet device installation or a faulty ethernet
device. The error message will appear in the event log.
SMS Messaging with Ethernet Module
SMS (Short Message Service) or text messaging is a service for sending messages to
your cell phone or mobile device. To use SMS messaging, enter the email address
in the Menus → System → Communications→ Ethernet →Email address. See Ap-
pendix 6 SMS - page 235 for a list of cellular and mobile companies that support
sending text messages.
Node Network
Menus → System → Communications → Network
A node network refers to either one stand alone master node and/or one master
node and up to 31 configured and wired slave nodes. Node networks with at least
one slave are physically connected using RS485 protocol see page 62 for additional
information. Only the master node is configured for serial or ethernet module
communication.
On a network with at least one slave the master continuously queries enabled slaves
on the network. The master is the access point for the entire network. This includes
Configuring the 5X00
AquaManager communication and sending of 5200A/5X00 alarm emails. Slave
nodes must be configured with a slave address.
Note:
- Multiple node networks communicating via direct connect (RS232) require
separate PC COM ports for simultaneous AquaManager mapping and auto-
polling.

to scroll and highlight submenus.
4. For master node: Press
at master submenu.
5. For all slave nodes: Press
at slave submenu. Configure a slave ad-
dress.
Note:
- The slave address appears as the slave subnode at node properties.
- Configure slave addresses with numbers of 1 through 31. Slave addresses of
32 to 64 will be used in future releases and should not be configured with the
current release.
6. Disable the Termination Relay on all devices except the first and last
device on the network. Menus → System → Communications → Network
→ Termination Relay.
7. Verify that the Termination Relay is enabled on the first and last device
on the network.
8. For master node: Press
at master submenu. At assign slaves menu,
select the slave address configured in step 5 above. Press enter. Enable
one slave at a time using
softkeys.
