5.7. Entering SAFECOM Output Control Definitions (Output Translation (XLAT) for
SC8016)
The Output Translation Table (XLAT) provides the reference for the plain text message description that is assigned to a
Radio Communicator’s Outputs. The Output XLAT entry on the Radio Communicator’s Setup Menu #2 for each SC8016
determines which line number in the Output XLAT table is referenced for the plain text message.
The Output Translation Table has 5 pages with 16 line numbers per page for a total of 80 line numbers. Each line
provides a maximum of 8 characters of text translation for Disabled and Enabled Radio Communicator Output Relay
states. The corresponding text assigned to the Output event is only for display at the SC9000 Receiver.
Example for ENABLED: Output XLAT is set to 05. Line 05 text for “ENABLED” is
RELAY ON to indicate the relay’s contacts are closed, for a Normally Open relay. The record of events message: 03/11
10:48:01 214 > RELAY ON: Output 3 and the Remote Status Menu: Output3: RELAY ON.
Example for DISABLED: Output XLAT is set to 05. Line 05 text for “DISABLED” is RLAY CLS to indicate the relay’s
contacts are opened for a Normally Open relay. The record of events message: 03/11 10:48:01 214 > RLAY CLS: output
3 and the Remote Status Menu: Output4: RLAY CLS.
To Enter the Output XLAT Text
•
Press the F3=System option from the System Status Menu Command Window. The System Configuration Menu will
be displayed. Press the F4=Output XLAT option from the System Configuration Menu Command Window. The
Output XLAT Menu will be displayed. Enter the alphanumeric characters in the text prompts for the appropriate line
number.
•
When the entries are completed press the ESC=Exit option from the command window. The operator prompt “Save
changes before exit? (depress ESC to continue editing) “will be displayed. Press the “ Y “ key.
This completes the entering of Output XLAT text procedures.
5.8. Operator Logoff Procedures (F5=Logoff)
The SC9000 requires an operator entry of an authorized Name and Password to limit system access to Authorized
Personnel Only. To allow for changes to the operators of the SC9000 Receiver, the LOG OFF option provides control of
access and the ability to determine what individual operator was logged in at any recorded time frame for reconstruction of
previous events.
As with the Log In procedures, Log Off does not affect system processing or polling of Radio Communicators. Login and
Logoff procedures only control access and record operator names to account for system access.
To Logoff the Current Operator
Press the F5=Logoff option from the System Status Menu Command Window. The record of events message “logout
XXXX” is initiated by the SC9000. XXXX is the User Code Name of the operator that was Logged In.
5.9. Power Requirements for the SC9000 Computer
The power source for the AC power to the SAFECOM system must be unswitched to provide an un-interruptible power
supply (UPS). Minimum power rating = 1.2 KVA. The UPS must be UL Listed under U.L.1481.
5.10. SAFECOM IT1500 Field Installation Tester Unit
The SAFECOM IT1500 Installation/Sales Tool tests for a standardized signal level from the customer site to the Central
Station via the repeater (if installed). Through this testing by a sales or service representative, the potential for a valid two-
way communications link can be confirmed between a Radio Communicator and the SC9000 computer prior to the
installation of a SAFECOM client site unit. Prior to the start of field testing with an IT1500, a Radio Communicator account
must be setup and entered so that the IT1500 can communicate with the SC9000.
When testing with an IT1500, the test message is sent to the SC9000 HISTORY LOG, the SC9000 sends an ACK to light
the PASS LED, the IT1500 sends a 2nd message to the SC9000 to confirm 2-way radio communications, and a "test
channel #" message is printed or displayed in the SC9000 history log to complete the test.
NOTE: It is
mandatory
that an additional minimum 9 dB attenuator be installed on the IT1500 to establish good fade
margin. Units shipped after June 1999 already have the attenuator internally installed. Do not use an additional attenuator.
