Setting Up the BPM-E
Note: It is recommended to connec the BPME directly to a universal
power source (UPS).
If you connect directly to a display instead of a computer or network, you can begin
using the BPM-E, as shipped, with the factory default alarm and frequency settings.
However, you should change the settings (frequency, alarms, etc.) to fit your applica-
tion. To make changes to any of the settings or to set up the BPM-E to communicate
with a computer, you need to use either the PCTool (used with RS-232 connection)
or the WebTool and the Finder utility (used with ethernet connection).
Note: To use the PCTool software or the WebTool software, your PC
must have the Java runtime environment (java virtual machine
v1.4.2 or later) installed prior to connecting the BPM-E. If you do not
have the runtime environment, you can find it on the CD that came
with your BPM-E or you can download it from the web at
www.java.com or from the Bird Technology web site (www.bird-elec-
tronic.com). For information about downloading the Java Runtime
Environment, refer to the readme.txt file that was provided on the
CD shipped with your unit.
Installing PCTool and Finder
1. Make sure that there is NO RF power applied to the BPM-E.
2. Copy the file named SETUP.EXE from the CD that came with your unit to a
temporary folder on your hard drive. You can also download SETUP.EXE
from the Bird Technology web site (www.bird-electronic.com).
3. Launch SETUP.EXE from your hard drive. Typically if you double-click the file
name, the file will launch.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. When the
installation is complete, you will see the PCTool main screen with no data in
the fields (Figure 11, page 20).
Note: IF you have an older version of PCTool installed on your
computer, the installation process in this step will uninstall the
older version. To install the newer version, you must run SETUP.EXE
a second time.
WARNING
Dangerous RF voltage. Do not connect or apply an RF signal to the BPM-E
during equipment setup. Failure to comply may result in severe burns, loss of
use of limbs, or death.
