WARNING! EU power requirements: This product runs on 24Vac. In

the EU, it is intended to be powered from a Limited Power Source. A
limited power source is a certified source of SELV, and if inherently
limited, with 8 amps maximum output current, and a maximum of
100VA available; or if not inherently limited, fused with a maximum
value of 3.3 Amps, meeting section 2.11 of IEC950, and a maximum
of 250VA available. The power supply can be obtained through
American Dynamics or through another source where the provider can
furnish the verification. This is required to assure electrical safety in
the product.

Troubleshooting
Addendum B:
Performing an RS-422 Line Test
The converter's front-panel LEDs indicate when

activity occurs during operation. They also identify
many errors that could occur:
For each RS-422 port: Press and hold the ports

line status test switch and view the adjacent LED.
The LED lights as follows:

Addendum C:
Resetting the Code Converter
Addendums
If communications cease, press the reset switch on

the front panel using a paper clip. If that fails, try
recycling power.
Addendum A:
Performing a SensorNet Ping Test on a
Dome Camera
Addendum D:
Performing an RS-422 Loopback Test
To conduct a ping test from the controller to a

dome, select the dome camera and run the test
(described in the appropriate operator manual).
Note:
1. Disconnect data lines from all seven RS-422

connectors.
Address selected at the controller determines

the dome camera tested.
2. Wire each connectors pins as follows:
Dome address switch settings must be correct.
The code converter responds to pings if the

dome is responding.
If the code converter is selected, only the

communication line from the controller to the
converter is tested.
For how to get dome information and to conduct

the ping test from the controller, refer to
ADTT16E (8200-0306-02) and VM16 (80002653-01) operation instructions. For just the
ping test, refer to MegaPower LT operation
instructions (MP-LTHB-1).
Pin 1 white wire (RX+) loops to Pin 3 (TX+)

Pin 2 gray wire (RX) loops to Pin 4 (TX)
3. Set the code converter to address 00.
4. Press the RS-422 line test switch to the right of
the port.
5. If the LED adjacent top the port lights, that port
is working. If the LED remains off, the port is not
working.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the next port.
Note: If a controller requests device information

from a camera having the same address as the
converter, the controller receives configuration
information from the converter instead of the dome.

2. Download RCSN422 hex file from the web site and copy it to c:\program files\AD_Utilities (Note: This file
must be F2814-0102 or higher).
3. Set the code converter to address 32.
4. Launch the ADCASNET utility and click Load Utility.
5. Click the Scan Network icon; the load utility will look for the code converter on the right-hand screen.
6. Once it detects the code converter, the firmware version is displayed. For example: 2814-XXXX.
7. Click on the displayed version and then click Load Snet Device. A progress bar appears.
8. When complete, close the ADCASNET utility and reboot the code converter.
9. Rescan the code converter and verify firmware was updated.
