Clearing the arbitrary text from relay x SR BASIC FEATURES 35 4 6 3 Pulsing 4 7 For example if you want to use an output for heating the output can be pulsed to the opposite state by supplying command O1 with a time limit max 1 000 000 seconds i e 11 5 days instead of the state information 0 or 1 This ensures that the heating is not forgotten on for too long If the relay was open before the command was sent it will be kept closed for as long as was defined in the command and vice versa It is also possible to pulse outputs for shorter periods than two seconds For example command 01 05 stands for a pulse that takes half a second Maximum pulse length is 100 000 if an extra zero is used at the beginning If a new pulse command is received during the time TC is still executing a previous pulse command the new time is added to the remaining time of the first pulse making up the total length of the pulse The state of the output is left unaltered For example if a command sets a relay closed for two minutes and after one minute another two minute pulse command is received the total length of the pulse amounts to three minutes The confirmation message received in response to pulsing contains the state of the relay and the remaining time of the pulse No new confirmation messages are sent when the relay returns to its original state The pulse command can be cancelled by sending either command O1 0 or O1 1 depe

C s internal phone directory After the basics we will explain how the operating mode can moderate the sending of alarm messages At the end of the chapter we will go through the basic settings of TC s outputs and how macro commands can be used to make your life a bit easier The alarm messages that TC sends out are formed in so called alarm channels When there is an alarm condition in a control circuit the respective alarm channel immediately forms an alarm message and sends it to the users defined in the phone directory You can also get status information about alarm channels by making an explicit query at any time You can command TC either by GSM Short Messages or by making phone calls to the device A phone call from a trusted phone number triggers off a preset action Alarm messages can also include commands Phone Directory TC requires that its internal phone directory contains at least one phone number in order to function normally The phone directory is needed in sending alarm messages to the correct phone numbers but also in recognizing who is trying to access the device and with what permissions There is room for one hundred phone numbers in the directory and each number has a permission level 1 through 4 The default level for all users is 1 V4 The directory memory cell 0 is reserved for the GSM operator s SMS Service number Phone Numbers When the user wants to modify the settings of TC from his or her mobile phone that mo

It is strongly recommended that the settings of your TC are kept in a text file on your computer unless the ready to use operating profile E2 1 is not suitable for the monitored location This effectively documents the settings that will most certainly be needed when your monitoring system is expanded or modified in some way in the future We have come to realize that settings files can save a lot of time and work Make sure that there is just one number your own mobile number in the phone directory if you are testing the unit so that the plausible alarm messages do not bother other users needlessly After you have completed testing add the rest of the phone numbers in the phone directory and make sure that everything works as expected HyperTerminal In addition to GSM Short Messages you can send commands to TC by using a data cable or a GSM data connection The data cable must run from the serial port of your computer to the TC s serial port The settings of the cable connection are as follows e 9600 bits s e 84data bits e Noparity and no hand shaking 16 3 2 2 3 2 3 TeleControl User s Manual Version 4 8 With data cable connection you can send commands to TC regardless of its operating mode and GSM connection If you are in Scandinavia the font type must be set to Courier New from the View menu Otherwise Scandinavian characters AAO will not appear correctly on the screen In addition change Line Delay to 10
