(Continued)

Background

The Wohler Alarm Profile Editor is a Windows application designed to allow the user of the Wohler Alarm products to be able

to change alarm trip thresholds.

The application targets the following operating systems: WIN 95, WIN 98, WIN 2000, WIN NT4.0 and WIN XP.

The application is distributed with product on CD-ROM, or may be downloaded from the Wohler Web site (see Factory for

details).

A Wintel architecture machine with at least 10M bytes of hard disk space and a spare COM1 port are required for this application

to be installed correctly.

Installation

The installation package is supplied as three files:

• setup.exe

• setup.1st

• wohler_alarm_profile_editor.cab

Load all three files into a temporary directory (c:\temp on most machines) then start the installation process by running setup.exe

(from Windows Explorer, double click on Setup.exe).

The application installer will take you through the process step by step. It is recommended that you accept defaults where

possible. The default installation path is c:\Program Files\Wohler_Alarm_Profile_Editor\.

Application Operation

Execute the Alarm Profile Editor by selecting : Start Menu : Programs : Wohler_Alarm_Profile_Editor :

Wohler_Alarm_Profile_Editor.

Loss parameter to 34 dB in the Alarm Profile Editor.

Example 2: To set an Analog unit to an Audio Loss threshold of -20 dB ref given a studio reference level of +4 dBu, set the
