PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.1
EagleVision-NT software is a configuration and diagnostic tool for Eagle
Quantum™ or Eagle 2000™ systems. The software provides convenient
and accurate system configuration, ensures that all vital system status
information is quickly and easily accessible to the operator, and pro-
vides diagnostic and troubleshooting tools.
There are no cumbersome keyboard commands for the operator to

learn. The entire interface is graphic in nature. Onscreen point and click
icons allow convenient navigation through the application with easy
access to the various features.
The EagleVision-NT database contains all the information needed to

allow easy and accurate configuration of Det-Tronics products. All per-
tinent information for the device including user selectable options is dis-
played on the point configuration screen, where changes can be made
as desired.
Point display screens for each node on the network provide detailed sta-
tus information. The eight most recent alarm events are recorded, and a
record of the zero and span calibration values is maintained to allow
the operator to track sensor sensitivity trends.
EagleVision-NT offers password protection to keep unauthorized per-

sonnel from modifying system configuration.
Two versions of EagleVision-NT are available — standard EagleVision-

NT and EagleVision-NT for Wonderware.
Standard EagleVision-NT will run under Windows 95 or Windows NT

and is designed as a stand alone application for configuration, diag-
nostics and event recording.
EagleVision-NT for Wonderware is designed to run with the

Wonderware® Intouch HMI (human-machine interface) program version
6.0 or higher, and requires the Windows NT operating system.
EagleVision-NT for Wonderware provides two additional features —
real time data exchange to and from Intouch, and a tagname export
function.

1.2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
FEATURES • User friendly point and click navigation, with no special keyboard
commands to learn.
• Menu driven configuration ensures easy installation or modifica-
tion.
• Configuration additions or changes can be made at any time with-
out interrupting system operation.
• Alarm and calibration data available online.
• Automatic diagnostics ensures reliable system operation.
• Current device status and alarm logs can be viewed in detail.
• Eagle Quantum logic generation.
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY EagleVision-NT can operate on most Intel® based computers (Pentium®
processor recommended), running Windows 95® or preferably
Windows NT® 4.0 or later. The software can support multiple Eagle
loops (up to a maximum of 16) on computers equipped with serial port
expansion hardware.
EagleVision-NT is designed to support the Eagle Quantum Fire and Gas

Detection/Releasing System and the Eagle 2000 Hazard Event
Monitoring System.
EAGLE QUANTUM™ SYSTEM
Eagle Quantum combines a flame detection/extinguishing agent

release system with a hazardous gas monitoring system, integrated on
a fault tolerant digital communication network. The system continuously
monitors analog process signals such as gas concentrations as well as
flame detectors and contact closure type devices such as manual fire
alarm call boxes and heat detectors. The fire related sensor inputs can
then be used by the control unit for executing the fire suppression logic,
controlling the extinguishing agent release, signaling and annunciating
output actuation.
The Eagle Quantum system consists of three basic components:
1. Local Control Unit (LCU) functions as the “heart” of the system. It

contains the fire logic and provides operator interface controls.
External host devices that are used for configuration and monitor-
ing of the system interface through the LCU.
2. Local Input/Output Unit (LIOU) is part of the fire detection portion

of the system and performs functions such as fire suppression agent
release and notification. The LIOU is controlled and supervised by
the LCU, and must be located within 25 feet of the LCU.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.3
3. Local Operating Network/Signaling Line Circuit (LON®/SLC)
allows intelligent input and output devices to communicate with the
LCU. It consists of a fault tolerant, two wire, digital communication
network that is arranged in a loop that starts and ends at the LCU.
Field devices can consist of a combination of Digital

Communication Units (DCUs), Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs),
Ultraviolet (UV) and Ultraviolet/Infrared (UV/IR) flame detectors,
Agent Release Modules (ARMs), Sounders (also referred to as
Signal Audible Modules or SAMs), and Network Extenders.
EAGLE 2000™ SYSTEM
Eagle 2000 is a hazard event monitoring system that is used primarily

for monitoring relatively large numbers of combustible and/or toxic gas
detectors. The Eagle 2000 network can span up to 32,000 feet
(10,000 meters) with up to 250 intelligent field devices.

INSTALLING EAGLEVISION-NT 2.1
EagleVision-NT can operate on most Intel® based computers running HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Microsoft Windows 95/NT. Although the software can be used with
Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 or later is the preferred operating pro-
gram. Windows NT is required for use with Wonderware.
A minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM are required, however, 32 or

more megabytes are recommended for optimum performance.
The software requires a color monitor with a minimum resolution of 640

by 480.
A hard drive with at least 10 megabytes free is also required.
The system can utilize any properly installed printer.
1. Insert the EagleVision-NT Disk 1 into the floppy drive. From the INSTALLING
Windows Program Manager menu bar, select File, Run and type EAGLEVISION-NT
a:\setup.
NOTE
Installing EagleVision-NT does not affect AUTOEXEC.BAT, CON-
FIG.SYS or any other system files.
2. Follow the directions on the screen.
3. Insert Disk 2 when instructed and continue to follow the directions

on the screen.
4. When the installation is completed, double click on the Quantum

icon to start the program.
TAGNAME EXPORT FOR WONDERWARE’S INTOUCH PROGRAM
EagleVision-NT exchanges real time data by directly monitoring and

updating changes to Intouch tagname values. For this to work properly,
EagleVision-NT must know the exact name of all shared tagnames.
EagleVision-NT uses DLLs (Dynamically Linked Libraries) to exchange

real time data with Intouch. The DLLs are a part of the EagleVision-NT
for Wonderware program and must be loaded and running for the pro-
gram to operate. When EagleVision-NT for Wonderware starts up, it
checks to see if Intouch has loaded the DLLs in memory. If it has, the DLLs
will already be running and a connection will be made. If Intouch is not
running, EagleVision-NT will automatically load the DLLs from the hard
disk. If EagleVision-NT for Wonderware is running without Intouch (for
95-8479
2.2 INSTALLING EAGLEVISION-NT
example, to export tagnames) a search path to the DLLs must be pro-

vided to enable EagleVision-NT to find them.
PROVIDING A SEARCH PATH TO INTOUCH DLLS
1. Select “Settings” from the “Start” Menu.

2. Select “Control Panel.”
3. Double click on the “System” icon.

CONFIGURATION AND SYSTEM MONITORING OVERVIEW 3.1
Before building the configuration database, the operator must know BUILDING A DATABASE
exactly what hardware is used in the system.
System type — Eagle 2000 or Eagle Quantum?

How many LONs are being used?
How many and what type of field devices?
Input devices:
Flame detectors — UV, UV/IR
Gas Detectors — DCU with combustible, H2S, PointWatch, etc.
IDCs
Output devices:
SAMs
ARMs
Power supply monitors
Gateways
Main gateway (required)
Auxiliary gateways (up to 3)
Logic Controllers
Power supplies
LIOU

Sounder boards
Relay boards
After determining the type and number of field devices, each device
must be assigned an address.
• Main gateway must be address 1.
• Addresses 2 to 4 are reserved for auxiliary gateways.
• Logic controllers occupy two adjacent addresses. They are assigned
an odd address and automatically assume the following even
address. For convenience it is recommended to work up from
address 5.
• The remaining addresses are available for field devices.
NOTE
The gateway relays are programmed to monitor a “block” of
addresses. Take this into account when selecting addresses for
field devices.
1. To start a new database, select “New” under the “File” menu. STARTING A NEW

3.2 CONFIGURATION AND SYSTEM MONITORING OVERVIEW
CONFIGURING SYSTEM To configure each system device:

HARDWARE
1. From the Point Configuration screen, select an address and click on
the “Modify Point” button. The “Point not Defined” screen will be dis-
played. Click on the “Define” button.
2. Select the type of device, and click on OK.
3. Select the desired device parameters. Refer to the appropriate

device configuration section of this manual for complete details.
4. Repeat for each device in the system.
5. Save the project.
ESTABLISHING 1. To establish communication with the gateway, click on “Config”

COMMUNICATION under the “File” menu. The Port Configuration screen will be dis-
played. (Refer to “Section IV — Establishing Communications” for
complete details.)
2. To download the configuration data to the devices, click on

“Download All” or click on “Download One” starting with the low-
est address number and working up. Watch the screen for errors.
Errors may be generated if a configured device is not present or the
wrong device type is selected.
NOTE
Logic controllers must be placed in Reset/Program mode while
downloading data.
NOTE
The gateway retains a copy of the configuration data, which can
later be used for auto configuration.
3. Check to be sure that all devices are communicating.
4. Select the gateway, then click on “Write EEPROM” to write the data
to the gateway EEPROM. Select the logic controller and click on
“Write EEPROM” to write the data to the logic controller EEPROM.
NETWORK LOADING When designing a system, it is important to realize that increasing the
CONSIDERATIONS number of nodes on the LON results in a corresponding increase in the
amount of time required for a status change message from a detection
node to be processed by the gateway. The gateway can handle an
average of 50 status messages per second. This means that if a LON
consists of 50 devices, all devices could be programmed for a status
update rate of 1 second (updates rates are adjustable from 1 to 10 sec-
onds). For a LON with 100 devices, they can all report at a two second
interval. When 250 LON devices are used, the average status update
time can be set for 5 seconds. Note that all units do not need to be pro-
grammed for the same update rate. Higher priority devices can be set
for a shorter time, while lower priority units can be set for a longer time.
The important factor is the average time for the entire LON — this must
not exceed 50 messages per second.
The color of the tab in the lower left hand corner of the Point SYSTEM MONITORING
Configuration screen indicates the current system status.
None = Normal operation (No devices in Alarm or Fault)

Red = Alarm
Yellow = Fault.
From the Point Configuration screen, click on the Overview button to dis-
play the System Overview screen. See Figure III-1. This screen provides
an overview of the entire system. Each configured node is represented
by a square on the loop, and is identified by its address number. The
color of the square indicates the status condition. (This screen is also
used for diagnostics purposes. Refer to Section IX - LON Troubleshooting
for details.)
Black = Normal operation

Red = Alarm
Yellow = Fault condition.
NOTE
An alarm condition will override a fault condition.
FIGURE III-1

95-8479
3.4 CONFIGURATION AND SYSTEM MONITORING OVERVIEW
To further identify a device on the loop, place the cursor on the square,
but do not click. The description/identifier that was entered for this
device at the time of configuration will be displayed below the square.
For complete status information for this node, double click on the square
to open the point display screen for the device. (Refer to Section VII or
VIII for information regarding Point Display screens.)
EVENT LOG
(FOR EAGLEVISION-NT WITHOUT WONDERWARE)
A complete listing of all system status events is displayed on a window

that runs the full width of the screen at its bottom. (The event log window
can be moved to any position on the screen by clicking on the title bar
and dragging it to the desired location.) To open the Event Log, click on
Event Log under the View menu. See Figure III-2.
FIGURE III-2
Event Log Window
The event log displays system events as they occur. Each new event that
occurs will appear at the bottom of the window and any previous events
will move up. Information displayed includes LON number, device
address and type, date and time, description of event, and event status
(on or off).
IMPORTANT
The event log window must be open for this feature to function.
Events that occur prior to opening the event window will not be
displayed.
If screen space is at a premium, click on Minimize under the Window

menu. The events log window is reduced to a button labeled “Events”
in the lower left hand corner of the screen. All events occurring while
the event log is “minimized” will be recorded. To view the events log,
double click on the button.
Clicking on Maximize under the View menu causes the event log to fill
the entire screen.
Events are color coded according to the Trigger configuration for the
device type. (Refer to “Device Trigger Configuration” in the
Configuration section of this manual for information regarding triggers.)
Red = alarm
Yellow = fault
Blue = return to normal
Black = other events.
Events are also logged to the computer’s hard drive. A separate file is
kept for each day. At midnight each day, the existing file is closed and
a new file is automatically added. All events present on the Event log
are recorded on the hard drive. Daily event files are identified by year,
month and day. These files are not automatically deleted from the hard
drive. Periodically, the operator must delete any unwanted files.
To obtain a permanent record of the event log, click on Print under the
File menu. All data currently listed in the event log window (all events
occurring since the last time that the log was cleared) will be printed.
95-8479
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS 4.1
The Operator Interface Station (OIS) must be configured to communi-
cate with the gateway. Select Config under the File menu to display the
Communication Port Configuration screen. See Figure IV–1. This screen
is used to create and define LON networks as well as serial communi-
cation connections.
FIGURE IV-1
Communication Port
Configuration Screen
Type a tag name for the LON in the LON Name box. This name will
appear on the tab in the lower left corner of the screen and is also used
as a prefix for the Wonderware tagnames. It should be kept as short as
practical.
Select the type of system (Eagle 2000 or Quantum) in the box labeled
Gateway.
Enter the desired values in the Modbus Address, Com Port, Baud Rate,
Stop Bits, Parity and Data Bits fields. (Refer to the appropriate hardware
instruction manual for complete switch setting information — form num-
ber 95-8470 for Eagle Quantum or 95-8424 for Eagle 2000.) When
Gateway port 2 is used (port 0 for Eagle 2000) the values are fixed at
9600 baud, even parity and one stop bit. When Gateway port 1 is
used, the values selected in these fields must match the Gateway DIP
switch settings for baud rate, stop bits, parity and data bits.
Modbus Address must match the value set on the gateway Modbus
address DIP switches, S7. When gateway port 1 is used, the address is
set using the gateway’s DIP switches. When port 2 is used (port 0 for
Eagle 2000), the address is set using software from the Gateway
Configuration screen. The default address is 1.
95-8479
4.2 ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS
Com Port defines which PC serial port is connected to the gateway.

Clicking on the button next to Com Port initiates a routine in which the
software systematically tries all valid combinations of baud rate, data
bits, and parity. If a connection is successfully established, the software
will fill in the appropriate values.
Writes Count tracks the number of outgoing messages to the gateway.
Reads Count tracks the number of responses. These two numbers

should track each other, however, a small disparity does not necessari-
ly indicate a problem.
Average Poll Time is the amount of time for the gateway to respond
to the message.
ERRORS This data indicates communication errors. These values can be helpful
in diagnosing communication problems.
CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is an error checking method. This

field is incremented when the calculated CRC value is different than the
transmitted value. This error is typically caused by incorrect serial com-
munication settings.
Data. This field tracks the number of response messages that have the
wrong data size.
Com. This field tracks the number of serial communication errors report-
ed by the operating system.
Command. This field tracks the number of Modbus error responses.

This can occur if the gateway is not configured properly. Check the set-
ting of the Main/Aux gateway DIP switch.
Timeouts. This number is incremented each time the gateway does not
respond to the message from the OIS.
When correct communication is established, the read and write counts

should match, with zeros displayed in the Error boxes.
BUTTONS Close closes this window.

Add creates a new LON.
Cancel cancels the entry.
Reset Counts resets the counters.
Delete deletes the LON.
EAGLE QUANTUM SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 5.1
Double click on the Quantum icon to start EagleVision-NT. The Point
Configuration screen is displayed. See Figure V–1.
FIGURE V-1
Point Configuration
Screen
The first step in system configuration is selection of device triggers, as

described below.
NOTE
The default trigger lists will ensure correct operation in the major-
ity of applications, and no modifications to the lists are required.
If it is determined that changes to the default trigger lists are
required or additional trigger lists need to be added, follow the
procedure described below.
Each Eagle field device has discrete pieces of status information. Device DEVICE TRIGGER
triggers are the means through which the operator tells the system how CONFIGURATION
to treat each of these pieces of information — which ones constitute an
alarm, which constitute a fault, and which are handled simply as system
events.
Device triggers are used by one of EagleVision-NT’s diagnostic features

called the “Overview” screen. The Overview screen shows a schematic
representation of the loop and its field devices. It then graphically dis-
plays the status of each point — whether it is normal, in alarm, or fault.
The conditions that will trigger an alarm or fault are determined during
system configuration. A default trigger “list” has been provided for each
95-8479
5.2 EAGLE QUANTUM SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
device type. The default list can be accepted as is, it can be modified,
or additional lists can be created as needed. This feature allows similar
device types to respond differently to various input conditions. For exam-
ple, one IDC can be programmed to trigger a fault condition in
response to an active input condition, while a different IDC can be pro-
grammed to generate an alarm.
1. Under the Edit menu select Triggers.
2. Select the type of device from the Select Triggers Form.
3. To view or modify the selected trigger list, click on the Modify but-
ton. To create a new trigger list, click on the New button. The Edit
Triggers screen will be displayed. See Figure V–2.
FIGURE V-2
Edit Triggers Screen
4. If a new list is created, enter the new trigger name in the space pro-
vided at the top of the screen.
5. Select the device type from the pull down menu.
6. To make modifications to the list, simply click and drag the item to
the appropriate column. Right column = alarms. Middle column =
faults. Left column = other.
7. If EagleVision-NT is being used with Wonderware, the operator has

the option to enable the alarm and event fields in the tagname def-
inition and also assign priorities for the tagnames. Selecting a tag-
name and clicking on the Events or Alarm button enables or disables
the event or alarm log control bit in the Wonderware db.CSV export
file. The Event or Alarm priority value will also be exported.
To select tagnames, hold the Shift key and click on the tagnames.
Then click on either the Events or Alarm button. Tagnames will be
color coded on the Edit Triggers screen as follows:
Alarms = Red, Events = Blue, Off = Black.
Enter the desired priority level (0 to 999) in the “Event” and “Alarm”
boxes located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
8. Click on Close to return to the Select Triggers Form screen.
9. Click on Close to return to the Point Configuration screen.
PRINTING TRIGGER DATA
To obtain a permanent record of trigger information for the system, from

the Select Triggers screen select Print under the File menu. EagleVision-
NT will print a list of trigger data for all devices in the system. This
includes both factory default triggers and custom triggers. Printed infor-
mation includes the type and name for each trigger as well as a com-
plete listing of all events configured under the categories of alarm, trou-
ble and other.
GATEWAY CONFIGURATION LCU CONFIGURATION

6. Enter a starting and an ending address for each of the four gateway
relays. These numbers identify a specific “block” of addresses that
will be monitored by each gateway relay. Then check the appropri-
ate boxes to select the event(s) that will actuate each of the relays.
The fault relay will be actuated upon detection of a LON fault (LON
open or shorted) or an internal gateway fault (self-diagnostic test
failure).
7. Check the appropriate “Energized” button if a normally energized

relay coil is desired. The coil will become de-energized when the
relay status becomes active.
8. Checking the Automatic Device Configuration box will cause all

configuration information to remain in effect after the replacement of
an electronic module or an entire field device. This will allow field
device replacement or repair without the need for operator initiated
re-configuration, however, all DIP switches on the replacement
device must be set exactly the same as the original. (This feature is
available for Eagle Quantum systems only.)

Controller, then click on OK. The Logic Controller Configuration
screen will be displayed. See Figure V–4.
FIGURE V-4
Logic Controller
The Logic Controller occupies two adjacent addresses. When con-
figuring a Logic Controller, it must be assigned an odd address. It
will then automatically use the following even address. A Logic
Controller can be assigned any address from 5 to 249, however,
address number 5 is recommended. (If additional Logic Controllers
are used, they should be assigned to Addresses 7, 9, etc.)
4. The Logic Controller communicates over the network with input

devices such as flame detectors, DCUs, and IDCs, and output
devices such as SAMs and ARMs, as well as all devices in the LIOU.
The remainder of the Logic Controller configuration will be covered
in connection with the configuration of those devices later in this
manual.

1. Highlight the desired address on the Point Configuration screen.

Click on the Modify Point button.
2. Click on the Define button.
3. Click on the appropriate button for the type of device being config-
ured, then click on OK. The DCU Configuration screen will be dis-
played. See Figure V–5.

FIGURE V-5
DCU Configuration Screen
6. Click on the Defaults button to display the default values for cali-
bration gas, high and low alarm setpoint, and update rate. If other
values are desired, enter them in the appropriate boxes.
When a K Factor is Used
If the sensor is calibrated using a gas type that is different than the
gas being detected, a calibration “K factor” must be used. (Refer to
Det-Tronics Technical Note No. GTN01 for complete information
regarding the use of K factors.)
If a K factor is used for sensor calibration, a similar adjustment

should be made when entering the calibration gas value at the OIS.
Use the following formula to determine the correct value to be
entered in the box labeled “Now” under Cal. Range. This will
ensure the most accurate gas level reading at the OIS.
C x K = S
C = Concentration of calibration gas in % LFL

K = K factor for the gas to be monitored (from Table 1 in GTN01)
S = Corrected calibration output level
(Enter this value in the box labeled “Now” under Cal. Range).
7. Enter the Destination Address(s). The Destination Address is the
address of the Logic Controller that will receive messages from this
DCU. If the DCU will report to more than one Logic Controller, an
address for each Logic Controller (up to a maximum of four) must be
entered.
Since Logic Controllers occupy two addresses, they are able to

receive messages at either address. (Do not program a single point
to report to both addresses.) To maximize system speed and per-
formance, it is recommended to alternate odd and even addresses
during system configuration — i.e. half of the field devices report to
the odd address and the other half report to the even address. A
convenient way to do this is to have odd numbered field devices
report to the Logic Controller at its odd address and even numbered
devices at the even address. (Failure to alternate odd and even des-
tination addresses will not compromise system communication.)

CREATING LOGIC
The purpose of this manual is to describe the logic generation tools and
their uses, not programming techniques. Only fully qualified and trained
personnel should attempt logic generation.
There are 14 types of logic elements available for use in any order or
combination desired.
Each logic page can have up to 32 logic elements.
Every element placed on the screen with the exception of connecting

lines and descriptive text are counted against the 32 possible elements
on a page.
The basic sequence for creating logic is as follows:
1. Place input gates on the page and configure them. To configure a

gate, double click on the gate and select the appropriate parame-
ters from the gate edit screen.
2. Place logic gates on the page and connect to the appropriate

inputs.
3. Place output gates on the page, configure them, and connect their
inputs to the appropriate logic element outputs. To configure a gate,
double click on the gate and select the appropriate parameters from
the gate edit screen.
4. Verify the logic page.
5. Download the logic page to the logic controller.
DOWNLOADING LOGIC
When all the logic has been created and the network variables are con-
figured, the data must be downloaded to the logic controller.
To upload/download single/multiple logic pages, network variables,

and LIOU configuration data:
1. Place the key switch on the Logic Controller in the RESET position.
After approximately one second, the Program LED turns on.
2. Select Upload or Download from the File menu.
3. Return the key switch to the Normal position when the procedure is
complete.
WRITING CONFIGURATION TO EEPROM
Once the logic and configuration data has been downloaded and
checked out, the information should be written to EEPROM in the Logic
Controller to allow it to survive a power loss.
To write the logic to EEPROM:
1. Place the key switch on the Logic Controller in the RESET position.
After approximately one second, the Program LED turns on.
2. Select Write EEPROM from the File menu.
3. Return the key switch to the Normal position when the procedure is
complete.

Select Eagle 2000 in the box labeled Gateway.
Enter the desired values in the Modbus Address, Com Port, Baud Rate,
Stop Bits, Parity and Data Bits fields. When gateway port 0 is used, the
values are fixed at 9600 baud, even parity and 1 stop bit. When gate-
way port 1 is used, the values selected in these fields must match the
gateway DIP switch settings for baud rate, stop bits, parity and data
bits. Refer to the Eagle 2000 hardware instruction manual (form num-
ber 95-8424) for complete switch setting information.
Modbus Address must match the value set on the gateway Modbus
address DIP switches, S7. When gateway port 1 is used, the address is
set using the gateway’s DIP switches. When gateway port 0 is used, the
address is set using software from the Gateway Configuration screen.
The default address is 1.
Com Port defines which PC serial port is connected to the gateway.

Clicking on the button next to Com Port initiates a routine in which the
software systematically tries all valid combinations of baud rate, data
bits, and parity. If a connection is successfully established, the software
will fill in the appropriate values.
Writes Count tracks the number of outgoing messages to the gateway.
Reads Count tracks the number of responses. These two numbers

should track each other, however, a small disparity does not necessari-
ly indicate a problem.
Average Poll Time is the amount of time for the gateway to respond
to the message.
ERRORS
This data indicates communication errors. These values can be helpful

in diagnosing communication problems.

WHEN A K FACTOR IS USED
If the sensor is calibrated using a gas type that is different than the
gas being detected, a calibration “K factor” must be used. (Refer to
Det-Tronics Technical Note No. GTN01 for complete information
regarding the use of K factors.)
If a K factor is used for sensor calibration, a similar adjustment

should be made when entering the calibration gas value at the OIS.
Use the following formula to determine the correct value to be
entered in the box labeled “Now” under Cal. Range. This will
ensure the most accurate gas level reading at the OIS.
C x K = S
C = Concentration of calibration gas in % LFL

K = K factor for the gas to be monitored (from Table 1 in GTN01)
S = Corrected calibration output level
(Enter this value in the box labeled “Now” under Cal. Range).

LON TROUBLESHOOTING 9.1
To determine the location of a wiring fault on the network:
From the Point Configuration screen, click on the Overview button to dis-
play the System Overview screen. This screen provides an overview of
the entire system. Each configured node is represented by a square on
the loop, and is identified by its address number. The color or the square
indicates the status condition.
Black = Normal operation

Red = Alarm
Yellow = Fault condition.
Click on the LON Diag. button. The LON Diagnostic screen is dis-
played. See Figure IX-1.
FIGURE IX-1
LON Diagnostic Screen
In the LON diagnostic mode, each node changes color as it reports to

the gateway at the update rate determined at the time of configuration.
This continual change in color indicates that normal LON communica-
tion is occurring. The color of the node indicates which of the gateway’s
two transceivers is receiving the message — green = LON 1, blue =
LON 2, red = no communication. (The three boxes in the lower right
hand corner of the screen are not buttons, but represent the gateway
transceiver color code.)
95-8479
9.2 LON TROUBLESHOOTING
Selecting the LON Order button allows the nodes to be dragged to any
position on the screen in order to match the actual position on the LON
(for systems where the devices on the loop are not wired in numerical
order).
Selecting the Point Order button displays the points in numerical order.
(This does not affect changes that were made after selecting LON
Order, as described above.)
Click on the LON Override button. This resets the Gateway’s LON relay
(opening its contacts).
Under normal conditions, the gateway LON relay contacts are open
and information moves over the network as shown in Figure IX–2.

LON TROUBLESHOOTING 9.3
NOTE
Since the logic controller occupies an address on the LON, the
relay contacts must close during a fault condition to ensure normal
communication until the fault can be repaired. Closing the con-
tacts allows messages from the downstream side of the wiring
fault to pass through the gateway and reach the logic controller.
As a result, messages will continue to be received by both gate-
way transceivers.
By opening the contacts using the LON Override button, each node is
able to report to only one side of the gateway. All nodes on one side of
the fault will be blue and all nodes on the other side will be green, with
the wiring fault located between the last green node and the first blue
node.
In the event of multiple wiring faults on the LON, as shown in Figure IX-
4, those nodes between the faults are unable to communicate with the
gateway. In this case, all nodes between the faults will be red in color,
while the nodes on one side of the fault will be blue and the nodes on
the other side will be green.
