7.7 Interface Configuration
When the interface is configured, the following options are available:
Baud Rate – selectable from 1200 to 38400 bits per second
Output type – RS232 or RS485
Logical output – enable / disable
Physical output – enable / disable
Alarm output – enable / disable
Pre-alarm output – enable / disable
Fault output – enable / disable
Isolate output – enable / disable
Append descriptor to string (physical output enabled only) – enable / disable
Output protocol – text only, positive acknowledge or EV3000
Handshaking – none, hardware (RTS – CTS), software (XON – XOFF)
Note: Character format is always asynchronous with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1stop bit and no
parity.
Note: Hardware handshaking only available with RS232 output type.
Note: Descriptor strings are only available with physical output, since Groups are not assigned
a descriptor string. If a group of sensors are zoned then unless they form part of a conventional zone
then no descriptor will be output.
Note: Details of the positive acknowledge output protocol available separately
