NOTE: Optional blockage sensors come in 2 varieties; Pin
sensors and Optical sensors. The blockage module pack-
age included with your system will identify the style of sen-
sor supplied.
Pin blockage sensors do not need to be disconnected and
will not be requested during initial monitor setup. If system
is equipped with pin style blockage sensors press the ACK
button to skip FLOW 1-7. The blockage module package
includes installation instructions.
When optical blockage sensors have been supplied, you
must plug the 3-pin connector of the blockage module in
order as requested by the module; FLOW 1-7. The Optical
blockage sensors may be plugged into the proper 2-pin
blockage harness connection during initial setup.
d. When you have completed sensor installation, re-
fer to Set Parameter Levels below. All parameters
must be set before the unit is ready to use.
3. Set Parameter Levels
You can adjust alarm trip points, sensor configurations
and other system features. You must reset these parame-
ters when you initially set up the system. You can re-adjust
the parameters later. Parameter settings are stored in
monitor memory even when monitor power is shut off.
a. Choose the function you wish to program by
pressing the up and down buttons until desired
function is displayed on the monitor readout.
b. Hold MODE button to enter programming mode.
c. Use the MODE button to switch between the pa-
rameters. Each function has several parameters
which can be adjusted. The top display indicates
which parameter is being adjusted. The lower dis-
play indicates how the parameter is currently set.
d. Use the following chart to program the parame-
ters. The chart lists the parameters for each func-
tion and proper parameter settings.
e. Use the up and down buttons to increase or de-
crease the parameter level to the proper setting.
NOTE: To disable a function, set the pulse level to zero.
The system will not monitor disabled functions.
f. When you have properly set all parameters for the
function, press MODE button until “SAVE” is on
the top display.
g. Press the up button to choose yes (Y) if you wish
to save your settings. Press the down button to
choose no (N).
h. Hold down the ACK button. If yes was chosen, the
unit will beep five times before saving the settings.
i. Repeat steps a. through h. for each function until
all parameters have been set.
