Installing EPAD2 modules
When you purchase an EPAD2 module for an existing
Dewetron system, you need to make a small change to the
hardware setup of your system so that the EPAD2 is recog-
nized by the software.
First, connect the EPAD2 to the EPAD connector on your
system. If you plan to connect multiple EPAD2 modules,
start with one rst and then add the others one at a time.
When connected properly, the EPAD2 LED should light up,
indicating that it is powered. If this does not happen, check
your cabling and verify it with Dewetron if necessary.
Now run DS-7. Click the SETTINGS button near the top right of the screen and then click HARDWARE
SETUP. Make sure you are looking at the ANALOG page of this dialog box. It looks like this:
Notice the area that we have drawn a red rectangle around in the screen shot above: this is where you need
to input the number of EPAD2 modules that you want to add. Enter that number here. Then click OK to close
this dialog box.
Click Ch Setup to see the list of ANALOG channels in DS-7. Scroll to the very bottom of this list and you will
see that four empty channels have been added. Assuming that one EPAD2 module is connected already to
the bus, double-click the rst empty EPAD2 channel in the list within the AMPLIFIER column:
The new empty channels are outlined in red above. Now DOUBLE-CLICK on the rst amplier button, that
we have outlined in blue above. That will cause DS-7 to pop up the question “what should be done with the
module?”, at which point you should click the FILL button.
