CHAPTER 1: FALCON LITE II OVERVIEW

1-1 DESCRIPTION The Falcon Lite II Monitoring System is a comprehensive system, which provides additional equipment protection by monitoring critical operating parameters in enterprises, remote network facilities, communication rooms, remote and unmanned facilities, and critical support systems. The Falcon Lite II is a stand alone system. It operates via embedded software that handles all data collection, alarm reporting, and multiple concurrent communication mediums. The Falcon Lite II typically monitors analog and dry contact outputs from devices such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, gas detectors, smoke detectors, fire suppression systems, surveillance products (web cameras), leak detection systems, power monitoring systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), power distribution units (PDUs), generators, DC power plants, commercial power, HVAC units, ATS, TVSSs, etc. The system performs internal diagnostics that check the flash program code, serial ports, RAM, non-volatile RAM, real-time clock, internal power supplies, relay drivers, analog to digital converter (ADC), and optional modem. During operation, the Falcon Lite II monitors its status and uses several LED indicators to report its condition. The functions of these LEDs are described later in this manual. The embedded software enables system configuration, I/O setup, status inquiries, alarm reports, data logs, and troubleshooting. Falcon software is menu driven and operates with any web browser or ASCII terminal or terminal emulation application such as HyperTerminal.

upply either 24VDC or 48VDC to the unit.

OMMUNICATION he Falcon Lite II will not communicate over a user’s network the first time it is connected to the network. he manufacturer programs the unit with a default IP address: 10.0.0.189, subnet: 255.255.255.0. This efault address must be changed to an IP address that corresponds with the user’s network before the alcon Lite II can communicate over the network.

ETTING THE IP ADDRESS here are three ways to set the IP address for the Falcon Lite II: • via the ARP and PING commands • via the Web browser • via the RS-232 interface

etting the IP Address Using the ARP and PING Commands o set up the IP address of a manufacturer programmed Falcon Lite II, you can use the ARP (Address esolution Protocol) command together with the PING (ICMP echo request) command. However, before sing these commands, you must know the Ethernet address of the Falcon Lite II.

.1 Obtaining the Ethernet Address ach network device must have its own unique identification. This identification sets it apart from all other anufacturers and ensures that no two network devices have the same address. Each manufacturer must

se a six digit numbering convention, the first three digits determine the actual manufacturer and the emaining three digits determine the unique network serial number of each individual Falcon Lite II.

typical Ethernet address (also known as a MAC address - Media Access Control) from the Falcon Lite II ooks like this: 00:90:5B:00:02:45

ou can find the Ethernet (MAC) address of your Falcon Lite II by looking at the model number sticker ocated on the bottom of the device.

.2 Using the ARP Command nce you know the Ethernet address of the Falcon Lite II that you wish to change, use the ARP command ith the correct parameters from any computer located on the unit’s subnet (i.e., Class C with a net mask of 55.255.255.0).

or example, enter the following from a command prompt:

arp -s 192.168.1.14 00-90-5b-00-02-45

Page 11: Falcon Lite II · 2014. 1. 28. · User Guide: Falcon Lite II Falcon Lite II Overview 970.484.6510 5 1-3 FALCON LITE II TERMINAL BLOCK DESIGNATIONS Figure 1-2: Falcon Lite II Terminal

User Guide: Falcon Lite II Getting Started

www.rletech.com 970.484.6510 7

This command tells the computer (from which the ARP command was entered) that the network device with an IP address of 192.168.1.14 uses the Ethernet (MAC) address of 00-90-5b-00-02-45.

2-3.1.3 Using the PING Command After the ARP command has been entered, the PING command must be entered from the same computer in order to set up the IP address of the Falcon Lite II. The PING command will use the ARP entry added from section 2-2.3 to send the IP address information directly to the Falcon Lite II (which is just one of several methods to initially configure the IP address on a new Falcon Lite II). To do this, enter the following from a command prompt:

PING ip_address Where 'ip_address' is the IP address you entered using the ARP command. In the above example, we would enter:

PING 192.168.1.14 This would then change the IP address of the new Falcon Lite II that you are configuring to 192.168.1.14.

2-3.1.4 Troubleshooting the ARP/PING Commands If you encounter problems, it will probably be for one of the following reasons:

• The Falcon Lite II already has a non-default TCP/IP address. Once the IP address of the Falcon Lite II has been changed from the default of 10.0.0.189, it is not possible to change it again with the ARP/PING commands. This method of setting up the unit’s IP address can only be used on a unit that still has its original default IP address, as shipped from the manufacturer.

• The device is not on the same Class C subnet as the computer from which the ARP commands were sent. The Falcon Lite II’s default router and net mask must be changed via a web browser pointed at the Falcon Lite II’s default IP address (i.e., http://10.0.0.189) or via a direct RS-232 terminal connection to the unit, both of which are alternate methods for setting up the Falcon Lite II’s IP address.

2-3.2 Setting the IP Address Using a WEB Browser • Plug the crossover network cable that shipped with the unit into the laptop or workstation that will

be used to configure the Falcon Lite II. This cable is not intended to be connected to a network hub.

• Write down the computer’s IP address. Then change the IP address of the computer from its existing address to one that will allow it to communicate with the Falcon Lite II, such as 10.0.0.188. It may be beneficial to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the Falcon Lite II’s IP address. Consult a computer manual or the IT Department before attempting this.

• Connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Falcon Lite II.

Access the unit through a web browser by typing the IP address into the location bar. Enter the Falcon Lite II’s user name and password when prompted. The default user name is falcon and there is no default password - leave the password field empty. Select the Configuration Menu link, then select the System link. Select the IP Configuration Menu link and change the IP address to one provided by the network administrator. Press the Submit Changes button. The Falcon Lite II will save the new IP address and reboot. Once the unit reboots, system status LED stops flashing. You must now use the new IP address – type the new IP address into the location bar of the web browser.

• Change the IP address of the computer back to its original IP address. If the computer was configured as DHCP - the network domain controller assigns it an IP address, return it to this state. This may require assistance from your IT department, or you may need to consult your computer manual.

. • The computer and the Falcon Lite II are now both configured to communicate on the network. Both

should be accessible via the network. Connect the PC and the Falcon Lite II to the network. From the PC web browser type in the IP address of the Falcon Lite II. Enter the user name and password as stated above to verify network access to the Falcon Lite II.

2-3.3 Setting the IP Address Using a RS-232 Connection To use the RS-232 interface:

• Connect the RS-232 port (P3 – COM2) on the Falcon Lite II to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal) with a 9-pin, male-female straight-through serial cable (serial cable is supplied with the Falcon Lite II).

• Set the appropriate COM port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, (9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.

• Once the terminal emulation software starts, press “Enter” (↵) on the keyboard and the Main Menu should appear. If the Main Menu does not appear, check the communication settings and make sure the unit is powered on.

• From the Main Menu type “SC” to select the System Configuration Menu. • From the main configuration menu type “2” to select the IP Configuration Menu. • From the IP Configuration Menu type “i“ to change the IP address. • Enter the new IP address for the Falcon Lite II. Separate each field with a decimal point – for

example type “10.0.0.50” and press “Enter” (↵) • Enter “x” to exit and save the new IP address. The Falcon Lite II will erase a memory block and

copy data to Flash Memory, then reboot. • The IP address is now set and the Falcon Lite II can be accessed by a web browser using the new IP

address. Refer to Chapter 4: for more information on the RS-232 command set.

2-4 FALCON WIRING RLE Technologies recommends 18 to 20AWG stranded copper wire for connection from each monitored point to a terminal block (TB) connection on the Falcon Lite II. RLE recommends no more than 500 feet of wire at this specification. If longer runs are needed, please contact RLE Technologies for application guidance. Shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended for analog signal transmitters being wired outside of conduit runs and dropped ceiling applications.

2-4.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections Connect an 18 AWG ground wire from the ground terminal to a suitable earth ground. For 24VDC units, plug the wall adapter into P1 and a UPS outlet as shown in Figure 2-1:. The wall adapter has a five foot power cord. RLE Technologies recommend powering the Falcon Lite II from a UPS supply to allow the unit to send alarm notification during a power outage.

2-4.2 Universal Input Connections The 8 non-isolated universal inputs are connected to TB2 and TB3. Universal input channels can be individually configured, through software, to monitor a 4-20mA signal, a normally open (NO) dry contact, or a normally closed (NC) dry contact. See Figure 2-3: for typical sensor wiring. Refer to the APPENDIX D: for further details regarding RLE sensor wiring. Some temperature and humidity sensors have internal jumper settings that may be used to select sensor range and output voltage or current. Jumper settings should be set before power is applied to the equipment. The sensor range (50-95°F, 22-122°F, etc.) should be documented at this time. The sensor range is required to determine the gain and offset settings when configuring the input through software.

NOTE: The Falcon has 24Vdc available (TB2-1, TB2-2 +24Vdc, TB3-9, TB3-10 24Vdc comm.) to power external sensors. The 24Vdc external supply is internally fused at 300mA.

CHAPTER 3: WEB INTERFACE

3-1 WEB INTERFACE OVERVIEW The Falcon Lite II’s web interface main menu provides a convenient way to check the system’s status and reconfigure basic settings from any internet-enabled computer. The Falcon Lite II is shipped to the user with the IP address configured as 10.0.0.189 and a subnet of 255.255.255.0 . The user name is preconfigured as falcon . The unit is configured without a password; when a password is requested, just leave the space blank. These pre-configurations can be customized through the System Link on the Configuration Menu of the web interface. To change the unit’s IP address, refer to Section 2-3 on page 6. Netscape’s “Smart Browsing” feature complicates use of the Falcon Lite’s Web Interface. Turn off Smart Browsing to avoid these complications:

• In the menu bar at the top of the Netscape browser, click on Edit, then on Preferences. • Smart Browsing is a subcategory of the Navigator menu. Access Smart Browsing and click the box

in front of the “Enable ‘What’s Related’” option. Eliminate the check mark to disable this option.

3-2 MAIN MENU

To access the Falcon Lite II’s web interface, simply type the IP address of the unit into the location bar of the web browser. Then enter a user name and password. The bottom of the Falcon’s main web page features columns that list the unit’s configured inputs. The number of inputs displayed is configurable from the System Configuration page, explained below. Each input is numbered. The input’s name is followed by its status. The space behind each input is shaded. This shading changes as the input’s status changes. This allows users to tell, at a glance, the status of their points. Shading is as follows:

• Green: Input is normal - not in an alarm state.

Page 19: Falcon Lite II · 2014. 1. 28. · User Guide: Falcon Lite II Falcon Lite II Overview 970.484.6510 5 1-3 FALCON LITE II TERMINAL BLOCK DESIGNATIONS Figure 1-2: Falcon Lite II Terminal

User Guide: Falcon Lite II Web Interface

• Yellow: Analog inputs only - input is in high alarm 1 or low alarm 1 state. • Red: Analog input - input is in high alarm 2 or low alarm 2 state. Digital input - input is in an alarm

state. • Blue: Alarm/Input disabled by a schedule. • White (no shading): Input is not configured – Spare point for future use.

3-3 ALARM HISTORY

The Alarm History link displays the last 256 alarms captured by the master unit. The top of page 1 shows the most recent alarm and the bottom of page 3 shows the oldest alarm. The following format is used to record each alarm entry:

AH###-ID-Condition-Date Time (Value UOM) Label AH### is the alarm entry index. ID is the alarm identifier number. See APPENDIX E: for Alarm ID Reference Tables. Condition is On, High1, High2, Low1, Low2, or RTN (Returned To Normal). Date and Time is the internal date and time stamp of the alarm condition. Label is the alarm descriptor and can be up to 64 characters long. Value and Unit of Measure (UOM) are captured for analog channels only. The value recorded is the actual analog value that exceeded its alarm threshold.

3-3.1 If the Modem Option is Installed: Unacknowledged dial out alarms (marked in red) can be acknowledged from this page. To do so, type the appropriate code in the box at the bottom of the page and click the “Acknowledge Alarms by Code” button.

3-9.1.1 Input Configuration

Gain and Offset Gain for 4-20mA Transducer = (Sensor High Range – Sensor Low Range) / 4 Offset for 4-20mA Transducer = Sensor Low Range – Gain Example: Temperature sensor with a sensing range of 50° - 95°F

• Gain = (95-50) / 4 = 11 (round to the nearest integer) • Offset = 50 – 11 = 39

Example: Humidity sensor with a range of 0 – 100% RH

• Gain = (100-0) / 4 = 25 • Offset = 0 – 25 = -25

Refer to the table in Appendix 4 for further gain and offset information. Alarm Delay is the amount of time the Falcon waits to send an alert after an alarm condition is detected. Hysteresis is a number that designates the amount an input reading must sway from its preset alarm reading before it is classified as returned to normal. For example, a temperature sensor alarms when it reaches 80°F. If hysteresis is set at four, the sensor must register 76°F before the Falcon reports it as returned to normal.

The E-Mai Recipient Notification section allows up to eight e-mail addresses to be designated for notification if the input goes into alarm. Alarm Disable by Schedule can be used to designate a period of time the input will be disabled or inactive. To do this, select either the A or B schedules, which are defined in the Schedule Configuration menu. Individual Ground Type (digital in only) is used to define the type of digital input (Digital NC or Digital NO) as either Individual Ground or Common Ground.

• Individual Ground is used if the monitored input is a single relay contact and two contacts - common and NO or NC - are accessible.

• Common Ground should be used if multiple relays are to be monitored that have the commons bussed or tied together (only one common input connection) and only the NO or NC contacts are available for each individual relay output. For more detailed information and examples see Section 2-4 of the manual.

Internal Temperature (Channel 105) and Internal Humidity (Channel 106) have the same options as a standard channel configured as an Analog Input, except the gain value cannot be changed (fixed value internally). The Input Type for Internal Temperature is used to specify and display the input in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

3-9.1.2 Input Configuration with Modem Option Only: Alarm Dial Out is the order in which the Falcon Lite II sends alarm notification. The numbers correspond to phone numbers configured from the Configuration Phone Number links at the bottom of the Modem Configuration page.

Web Refresh Rate is the rate at which the Falcon Lite II’s web pages refresh themselves within the web browser. Analog Average allows the user to change the averaging method for analog inputs. Normally, the system samples analog points once a second while keeping track of high and low values for each analog point. After sixty seconds, the average of these readings and the high and low values for these points are recorded in the minute log. To alter this method of averaging, change the value to one of the values listed in the drop down menu. Zero or one maintains the method described above; a higher value changes the method of averaging and the manner by which high and low values are recorded. Refer to the APPENDIX B: for a more detailed example of analog averaging. For further information regarding BACNet Device Name and BACNet Description, consult the BACNet Standard or your IT Department.

The Initialization String can be a maximum of 38 characters. &c1 and &d3 are mandatory. s0=1 sets the modem to answer after one ring. The Dial Prefix should be a specific Hayes compatible command or dial modifier. It is also limited to 38 characters. The default is set to atdt. Pager Deliveries designates the number of times to call the pager until the alarm is acknowledged - 1 to 255. Pagers are called in sequence. For example, if Pager Deliveries is set to 3 and pagers 1, 7, and 10 are programmed to be notified, the system dials 1, 7, 10, 1, 7, 10, 1, 7, 10. As soon as the alarm is acknowledged, the Falcon Lite II quits dialing the pagers with that particular access code. Pagers with different access codes are still dialed. Pager Interval allots the number of minutes to wait between redials. Pager No Ack Alarm establishes a number to call if the alarm isn’t acknowledged. A numbered contact (one through 16) designates the number to call. Set to 0 to disable this function. Pager Baud Rate allows the user to set the pager baud rate.

Pager Unsuccessful Traps will allow the Falcon Lite II to send an SNMP trap to the NMS if set to YES. Pager Resend will send all unacknowledged alarms in the Alarm History menu if set to YES. It will only send the last unacknowledged alarm if set at NO.

3-9.9.1 Phone Number Configuration (Modem Option Only)

This page is accessed through the Configuration Phone Number link at the bottom of the Modem Configuration page. This screen allows users to configure pager and cell phone numbers that are used for alarm notification. The Select Phone Type drop down menu allows the user to select which type of device the Falcon Lite II calls. Use the text option to dial a PC receiving ASCII strings. Numeric Pager dials a numeric pager. Alpha-numeric Pager dials an alphanumeric pager. The Number blank is filled in with the pager service number for numeric and alphanumeric pager entries. Each comma after the pager number represents a two second delay. This delay is used to allow enough time for the pager service to answer before requesting the pager ID. Experimentation with the proper number of commas may be necessary. The Pager ID field is mandatory for numeric and alphanumeric pagers.

• Alphanumeric pager - This ID is sent to the paging service along with all queued alarm messages. The ID is the unique PIN for a specific pager. The ID may be a maximum of 16 characters.

• Numeric page - The ID may be configured to deliver different numeric messages. The ID can contain 15 characters: any combination of the numerals 0 through 9 and a * or #. These are the only characters that will be transmitted to the paging service.

A $ can be added or inserted anywhere into the message string. This is converted into a 5 digit alarm code: XYZZZ. • X - binary alarm condition: 1=on, 0=return to normal (RTN) • Y - multi-drop address of the Falcon Lite II (0-4) • ZZZ - alarm ID number - see reference table An effective numeric page depends largely on the parameters established by the paging service. Experimentation may be required to achieve desired results. The Acknowledgement Cod is any number, up to six digits, used to acknowledge receipt of an alarm and to terminate any additional call outs for this phone number. This code will acknowledge only those alarms that were sent to this phone number. The alarms can be acknowledged using this code by

CHAPTER 4: RS-232 INTERFACE

4-1 FALCON LITE II RS-232 INTERFACE The unit’s RS-232 interface provides a more detailed and intricate view of the Falcon Lite II. It also allows a user to access more elaborate configuration options. In order to proceed through this chapter, the system must be connected to a PC via the RS-232 port. If the Falcon Lite II is not yet connected to a PC, connect the unit’s RS-232 COM2 port as follows: To use the RS-232 interface:

• Connect the RS-23 port on the unit to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal) with a 9-pin male-female straight-through serial cable (serial cable is supplied with the Falcon).

• Set the appropriate COM port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, (9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.

• Once the terminal emulation software starts, press Enter (↵) on the keyboard and the Main Menu should appear. If the Main Menu does not appear, check the communication settings and make sure the unit is powered on.

4-2 UNIT START UP When the unit is powered up, diagnostic tests are performed and the flash program code is verified. The main system code is executed after a ten second delay. During the bootup sequence, the System Status LED will flash at a rapid rate of 10 flashes per second. If the System Status LED continues to flash for more then twenty seconds, there is a fault with the unit and service is required.

4-3 FLASH EXECUTABLE CODE After the bootup sequence, the main program executes from Flash memory. In order to run properly, the unit must have a unique MAC address (assigned by the manufacturer) and an IP address. The factory default for the IP address is 10.0.0.189. If the unit is connected to the enterprise’s network, an IP address must be obtained from the network administrator. The Falcon Lite II must be reconfigured with this new IP address. This reconfiguration can be done in the field - see the Main Configuration Menu, menu number 2. Once the system reaches this point, press Enter (↵) to display the system’s Main Menu. Refer to Chapter 2: and Chapter 3: for more information regarding setup, configuration and system displays.

4-4 MAIN MENU All system functions begin in the Main Menu. Two letter commands display information, execute commands, and display submenus for additional inquiry and system configuration functions.

the measurement circuitry of the Falcon. The Falcon has its own meter which reads the voltage of incoming power. Measure the voltage with an independent meter and adjust this offset accordingly. The Falcon’s meter may not read the most accurate voltage, due to the operation of the Falcon itself.

7 Analog Averaging

Analog averaging allows the user to change the averaging method for analog inputs. Normally, the system samples analog points once a second while keeping track of high and low values

Page 46: Falcon Lite II · 2014. 1. 28. · User Guide: Falcon Lite II Falcon Lite II Overview 970.484.6510 5 1-3 FALCON LITE II TERMINAL BLOCK DESIGNATIONS Figure 1-2: Falcon Lite II Terminal

for each analog point. After sixty seconds, the average of these readings and the high and low values for these points are recorded in the minute log. To alter this method of averaging, change the value to one of the values listed in the parentheses. Zero or one maintains the method described above; a higher value changes the method of averaging and the manner by which high and low values are recorded. Refer to the appendix for an example of how averaging is altered and how it impacts high and low recordings. In a sense, averaging slows down the sensor response and the rate of change. This parameter impacts all analog points.

8 Persistent Traps A system parameter that enables the Falcon to issue continuous SNMP alarm traps until an Alarm Acknowledgement is received by the Falcon. The parameter is a user-defined time interval that is set in minutes. This feature only applies to network applications.

11 Schedules Option 11 establishes a schedule to operate individual relays. Through this configuration, relays will turn on and off according to a specific schedule.

12 BACNet BACNet is an ASHRAE protocol that allows the Falcon to communicate with building management systems. This screen is used to convey the unique name of the Falcon to the building management system, so they can communicate with each other. Each Falcon on the network must have its own unique name and device ID.

CHAPTER 5: REMOTE ACCESS

5-1 REMOTE ACCESS CONFIGURATION The Falcon Lite II system can be remotely accessed with any terminal emulation software package. To establish a proper dial-out session, set the appropriate modem port as follows:

• 33.6K baud • NO parity • 8 bits • 1 stop bit • (2400/N/8/1) • No software or hardware flow control

Once the proper settings are made, dial the phone number assigned to the Falcon Lite II. Once communication is established, press Enter (↵). A logon prompt will appear on the screen. Type the login and press Enter (↵); type the password, press Enter (↵); the session will begin. Note: The factory default settings are:

• Username: falcon • Password: rletech

Type a question mark (? ) to view the System Menu. To terminate the session, execute the command in the software package that disconnects the modem. The commands for accessing the system remotely are identical to the ones described earlier in this manual. There is, however, a limited command set for remote access. The available commands are:

• System Status (SS ) • Current Alarms (CA ) • Kill All Alarms (KA ) • Log Menu (LM ) • Display Date/Time (TI ) • ADC Input Values (AD ) • Modem Stats (MS ) • System Configuration (SC )

System Configuration is limited to the System Menu section, the Modem Configuration section, and the Configuration Password section. It is important to note that in the Modem section, if x Exit & Save (Warning: This will disconnect & initialize the modem) is selected to save information, the Falcon will reinitialize its modem and terminate the connection. Pages can be acknowledged by phone number during a remote access session by entering aa followed by the alarm acknowledgement code for that phone number.

Chapter 6: PPP User Guide: Falcon Lite II

52 970.484.6510 www.rletech.com

CHAPTER 6: PPP

6-1 PPP CONFIGURATION Point-to-point protocol (PPP) is an alternate method that may be used to communicate with the Falcon Lite II. PPP can only be used through a modem, over a phone line. The Falcon Lite II and the user’s computer must both be configured in order for PPP to work. To configure the system: Access the system’s web interface. Click on the Configuration link. Enter the correct user name and

password (if necessary). From the Configuration Menu, click on the System link. On the System Configuration page, click on the IP Configuration Menu link.

The IP Configuration page lists the IP addresses configured on the Falcon Lite II. Both the PPP Server

and PPP Assignment fields need to be completed in order for PPP to work.

o PPP Server assigns an IP address to the Falcon for PPP communications. Any IP address may be used, as long as it is not in the same subnet as the Falcon Lite II’s primary IP address. A good example of an IP address to use is: 192.168.1.2 . Use this address to view the web interface through a browser when communicating with the system through PPP.

o PPP Assignment tells the Falcon Lite II what IP address to assign to the PC the user

dials in from. Again, any IP address may be used, as long as it is in the same subnet as the PPP Server IP address. A good example of an IP address to use for the PPP Assignment is: 192.168.1.3

3. Now the user is ready to configure the PC they will be dialing in from. These directions were written

from a Windows 2000 machine. To configure the PC:

1. Click on Start, then Settings, then Network and Dial-up Connections. When the Network and Dial-up Connection window appears, click on Make New Connection.

2. Click the Next button to begin the Wizard. 3. Select Dial-up to private network and click the Next button.

4. Type in the phone number of the phone line that connects to the Falcon Lite II. Select the Use dialing rules checkbox and enter the appropriate area code and country code. Click the Next button.

5. Decide if the connection should be available to all users or just this user, and select the

appropriate option. Click the Next button. 6. Name the connection and add a shortcut to the desktop. Click the Finish button. Use this

desktop shortcut to establish a PPP connection with the Falcon Lite II.

User Guide: Falcon Lite II Firmware Uploads and Loading/Saving Configuration Data

www.rlete

CHAPTER 7: FIRMWARE UPLOADS AND LOADING/SAVING CONFIGURATION DATA

7-1 UPLOAD VIA TFTP CLIENT This is the preferred method – it does not work with a PPP connection

• If you do not have a TFTP client, download one from the Internet. RLE recommends the Walusoft freeware client, available at www.walusoft.co.uk/download.htm. A TFTP server application may download with the client. Only install the TFTP client on your PC.

• Download the most recent version of firmware appropriate for your Falcon Lite II from the RLE

web site: www.rletech.com/support/index.html. Save it to the C:\ drive of your computer. Do not change the name of the file. The name of the file, as downloaded from the RLE web site, must remain the same.

• It is important that you confirm the correct version of firmware before you download and attempt to

install it. The system’s MAC ID is printed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. Systems with MAC IDs from 00.90.5B.02.00.00 and above accept different firmware than other Systems.

Warning! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD THE WRONG FIRMWARE ONTO A FALCON LITE II! If you have any questions regarding firmware compatibility, contact RLE.

ch.com 970.484.6510 53

• The Falcon Lite II can only accept two copies of firmware at a time. Before a new version can be uploaded, the oldest version must be deleted. To do this, access the Flash Program link on the Configuration Menu of the system’s web interface. Click the Erase Backup button to erase the oldest version of firmware. It will take approximately ten seconds for the firmware to be erased. A confirmation screen will appear once the firmware has been erased.

• Click the Back button on your browser to return to the Flash Program screen. Reload this page to ensure the oldest firmware has been erased. A Checksum value of FFFF tells you the oldest firmware has been completely erased.

• Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows. Once the Local File has been designated, the upload will automatically begin:

o Host: IP address of the system whose firmware you are updating o Port: 69 o Timeout: 10 o Do not check the “Send timeout to server” box. o Block size: 1024 o Local file: reflects the location of the new firmware file. To point the Local File to the

correct file, click on File at the top of the TFTP client. Then click on Send. This will allow you to designate the appropriate file as the file to be uploaded to the Falcon Lite II.

o Check both the “Match files” and “Binary” boxes o Remote file: type the name of the firmware file

• The file is done uploading when the Sent percentage at the bottom of the TFTP screen reaches 100%. If you can see the front of the unit, the Status light will flash while the firmware is uploading. The light will go out when the upload is done. The Falcon Lite II will reboot itself once the firmware upload is complete. This will put the new firmware into effect. The reboot may take a minute or two.

• Reload the Flash Program Configuration page to ensure the new firmware has successfully loaded

onto the system.

7-2 UPLOAD VIA THE RS-232 COM2 PORT

• Connect a terminal emulator to the unit’s COM2 Port.

• Firmware updates can be started two ways:

o After power-up, a ten second window provides the user an opportunity to press a key to abort the Flash Main Program from executing, OR

o From the Main Menu, the user can enter EX to begin the firmware update process.

• The Main program must be erased before an upload can be performed. To erase the code, the user must enter the ERASE PRGM command, after a second or so, the screen will update with an OK .

• The user then enters a LOAD XMODEM command. The firmware file is chosen from the PC

directory and uploaded using the XModem-1k protocol. The file must be binary and have a .bin extension.

• After the file has been uploaded, the user may then enter the RUN command or power down the

unit and then turn it back on.

7-3 LOADING/SAVING CONFIGURATION DATA

• This menu allows user configurations to be saved and reloaded onto other Falcon Lite II systems. The example below shows how Windows HyperTerminal application software is used to perform the load/save functions. Before starting, make sure the HyperTerminal properties are set correctly to perform load/save.

• Select the Properties menu (under File) to establish a Direct Connection through an available

COM Port. This port should be set to 9600 Baud, 8 Data bits, NO Parity, 1 Stop bit, and NO Flow control. Once this is complete, select the Settings tab for additional changes. The parameters under the Settings tab should reflect what is shown below.

7-3.1 Saving Configuration Data

• To save settings, go to the system onto which the configuration will be saved. Log into the Falcon Lite II (COM2) through HyperTerminal (Terminal Emulation Program). Navigate to the Load/Save Configuration Data Menu under the Main Configuration Menu. Select option 1 from the Load/Save Configuration Data Menu. Then select the Transfer/Receive file from the menu at the top of the HyperTerminal screen. Specify a name by which to save the file and select the 1K XModem Receiving Protocol. Then click on the Receive/Start button. Wait until the Download is completed and enter 3 to exit the Load/Save Configuration Menu.

User Guide: Falcon Lite II APPENDIX B:Analog Averaging

www.rletech.com 970.484.6510 59

APPENDIX B: ANALOG AVERAGING

B-1 ANALOG AVERAGING OVERVIEW Analog averaging allows the user to change the averaging method for analog inputs. Normally, the Falcon Lite II samples analog points once a second while keeping track of high and low values for each analog point. After sixty seconds, the average of these readings and the high and low values for these points are recorded in the minute log.

B-2 HOW ANALOG AVERAGING AFFECTS VALUES Analog averaging can be changed through either the Web interface or the RS-232 interface. An example of how averaging is altered and how it impacts high and low recordings is shown here.

• Analog averaging value is set to 5. • The analog point is a temperature sensor. • Temperature readings are displayed for an eleven second period

70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 70, High Value = 70, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 70, High Value = 70, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 71, High Value = 71, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 71, High Value = 71, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 72, High Value = 72, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 72, High Value = 72, Low Value = 70 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 74

Average = 73, High Value = 73, Low Value = 70 Under normal conditions, the average reading would equal 71, the high value would equal 74, and the low value would equal 70. By changing the averaging method, the average reading ends up at 73, the high value at 73, and the low value for this example remains the same. In a sense, averaging slows down the sensor response and the rate of change.

Figure D-11: LD5000 Distance Read Water Leak Detection System (Dry Contact)

The Falcon averages/filters the analog inputs therefore the alarm delay for the LD5000 input must be set to a value equal too or greater than the averaging time set in the Falcon. The Falcon will output 4mA when there is no leak. The LD5000 will output a value between 5mA and 19mA when there is a water leak. The LD5000 will output 20mA when there is a cable fault. The low limit 1 and low limit 2 setpoints should be set to a value, in feet, that represents 2mA. This allows the Falcon to alarm when the signal from the LD5000 fails (falls below 4 mA). High limit 1 should be set to a value, in feet, that represents 4.5mA. This allows the falcon to alarm whenever there is a leak. The high limit 2 should be set to a value, in feet, that represents 19.5mA. This allows the Falcon to alarm when a cable fault is detected.

Warranty Statement Seller warrants to the Ultimate Purchaser (the purchaser who buys for use and not for resale) that all products furnished under this order and which are manufactured by Seller will conform to final specifications, drawings, and other written descriptions approved in writing by Seller, and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. These warranties shall remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) months after delivery to the Ultimate Purchaser. If the Seller installs the equipment or supplies technical direction of installation by contract, said one year shall run from the completion of installation, provided installation is not unreasonably delayed by Ultimate Purchaser. Parts replaced or repaired in the warranty period shall carry the unexpired portion of the original warranty. A unit placed with the purchaser on consignment and then later purchased will be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time the Seller receives notification of the Purchaser’s intent to purchase said consigned item. The foregoing, in its entirety, is subject to the provision that in no case will the total warranty period extend beyond 18 months from date Seller ships equipment from point of manufacture. Products manufactured by Seller are NOT life and safety certified. In no event shall the Seller be liable for loss, damage, or expense directly or indirectly arising from the use of the units, or from any other cause, except as expressly stated in this warranty. Seller makes no warranties, express or implied, including any warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use. Seller is not liable for and Purchaser waives any right of action it has or may have against Seller for any consequential or special damages arising out of any breach of warranty, and for any damages Purchaser may claim for damage to any property or injury or death to any person arising out of its purchase or the use, operation, or maintenance of the product. Seller will not be liable for any labor subcontracted or performed by Purchaser for preparation of warranted item for return to Seller’s factory or for preparation work for field repair or replacement. Invoicing of Seller for labor either performed or subcontracted by Purchaser will not be considered as a liability by the Seller. The liability of Seller hereunder is strictly limited to replacing or repairing at Seller’s factory, or on the job site at Seller’s option, any part or parts which have been returned to the Seller and which are defective or do not conform to such specifications, drawings or other written descriptions; provided that such part or parts are returned by the Ultimate Purchaser within ninety (90) days after such defect is discovered.
