High Country Tek HFS-2Q - Manual (Page 18)

Hydraulic Fan System Controller : HFS - 2
Retry ALL Faults :
The user setting “retry all faults” determines if the unit will retry faults that are detected with the controller or
peripheral devices after 4 seconds or if NOT selected, the unit will stop operation until the power supply is turned OFF
and back ON.
If after a power reset, the fault is cleared, the unit will return to normal operation. If the fault persists, the controller will
once again stop and repeat the procedure above.

PC Hardware Requirements
This is the method by which the fan controller is set-up and monitored and is explained more fully on page 26 of this
manual.
The initial Opto 2000 unit must be ordered separately to the main controller but this is a universal communications
adapter which will be used with other upcoming HCT controllers and products
• Unallocated USB port with user supplied USB to DB 9 hub, powered and with USB driver software installed correctly.
Opto 2000 Communications:
adapter which will be used with other upcoming HCT controllers and products.
Set-Up Software:
High Country Tek Inc. has realized that digital electronics comes with the
need for the user to communicate with the controller and with this
comes a new set of practical problems associated with having to learn
and become proficient with the set up software and hardware
and become proficient with the set-up software and hardware
connections.
The software for this product is available from HCT and loads itself into a
subdirectory ( the user is urged to allow the default directory paths ).
This new generation of controller setup programs is specifically designed
to be easy-to-use with a non threatening approach and with only the
necessary items displayed ( determined by password levels ) to give a
non-cluttered display that is clear and understandable to both the
professional and casual user.
The controller-to-PC communications is taken care of by the Opto 2000
unit which is plug and play in that all the user needs to do is physically
connect the unit and run the provided software for the full automatic
setup.
The Opto 2000 should be connected to the host PC first and the HFS software started. The PC will immediately check the
available ports, display a list ( shown right ) of available serial ports, find the Opto 2000 and connect. If the Opto 2000 is
connected to an HFS that has power applied, the program will take a few seconds to check module validity and then display the
settings from that module. At this point, the user may enter a password if changes to settings are required.
