Programming
So that the IRW interface and the TCW1/2 sensors can communicate with
each other by radio, it is necessary to for the sensors to be "acquired" by the
interface, using one of the procedures explained in this chapter.
Warnings regarding programming procedures:
• A TCW1/2 sensor cannot be acquired by the IRW interface unless connected
to an edge (resistive or photo-optical).
• All programming stages automatically terminate two minutes after the last but-
ton is pressed if, in the meantime, no other button is pressed. Any changes
made up to that point are saved anyway.
• Refer to fig. 8 to understand the LEDs and buttons mentioned in the manual.
• In the procedures that require the insertion (or removal) of the batteries, refer
to fig. 11 in order to perform the operation.
5.1 - Creating a new system
This procedure makes it possible to create a new system, i.e. one consisting of
devices whose memory contains no data (factory setting).
01. Hold down the IRW interface button and release it after the LED has lit
up with a steady green light: the interface is now ready to acquire a new
TCW1/2 sensor.
02. Insert the batteries into the TCW1/2 sensor (or, if they are already present,
press and release the sensor's "C" button): the IRW interface will emit a
short sound (beep) to confirm the acquisition and the "A" LED and "B" LED
in the sensor will start to flash, with a green light and a red light respectively,
until the end of the procedure.
03. In order to match additional sensors to the interface, repeat the instruc-
tions from point 02 for each one. Important! - If photo-optical edges are
installed, the relative sensors must all have the same jumper configuration
(see point 04 of paragraph 4.1).
04. On the interface, press and release the button to end the procedure.
5.2 - Adding additional sensors to an existing system
This procedure makes it possible to add additional TCW1/2 sensors to an exist-
ing radio network, without the need to acquire the pre-existing devices again.
01. Important – The new TCW1/2 sensors to acquire should not have any data
in the memory. If a sensor has already been used in another system, the fac-
6 – English
tory settings must be restored using the procedure explained in paragraph
5.5.
02. Hold down the IRW interface button and release it after the green LED lights
up. Now the LED will start to flash rapidly and the interface will try to com-
municate with each of the pre-existing sensors in the system (all the "A"
and "B" sensor LEDs will start to flash). At the end, the interface LEDs will
light up with a steady green light, putting the interface in the "radio listening"
stage for the acquisition of new sensors. Important! – If any sensor fails to
communicate, the interface will emit a sound (beep) for 10 seconds and will
interrupt the acquisition stage, keeping the system in its previous state.
03. Insert the batteries into the sensor (or, if they are already present, press and
release the sensor's "C" button): the IRW interface will emit a short sound
(beep) to confirm acquisition and the "A" LED and "B" LED in the sensor will
start to flash, with a green light and a red light respectively, until the end of
the procedure.
04. In order to match additional sensors to the interface, repeat the instruc-
tions from point 02 for each one. Important! – If photo-optical edges are
installed, the relative sensors must all have the same jumper configuration
(see point 04 of paragraph 4.1).
05. On the interface, press and release the button to end the procedure.
5.3 - Removing one or more sensors from an existing system
This procedure makes it possible to remove one or more TCW1/2 sensors from
an existing radio network, without the need to reacquire the sensors that are to
remain in the system.
01. Remove the batteries from the sensor to be removed, so that it is not able
to communicate, or delete the sensor memory as described in paragraph
5.5.2.
02. Hold down the IRW interface button and release it after the green LED lights
up. After the button is released, the interface LED will start to flash rapidly
and the interface will try to communicate with each of the pre-existing sen-
sors in the system (all the sensor LEDs will start to flash). At the end of this
stage, the interface will emit a sound (beep) for ten seconds to indicate
the lack of response of the sensor (or sensors) to be removed. Within the
duration of the sound, press and release the interface button to confirm the
removal of the sensor: the interface LED lights up with a steady green light.
If additional new sensors are to be acquired: continue with programming
as outlined in procedure 5.2, from point 03, otherwise go to the next point.
03. Finish the procedure by pressing and releasing the interface button: this emits
two sounds (beep-beep) to confirm the successful removal of the sensors.
