The GTU8 can be used an y where along the two wires to monitor and control the status of Dupline[®] chan nels. This unit is highly recommended for start-up and main te nance work on Dupline[®] systems. ## **Edit Tx-latch** In this mode it is possible to "latch" the ac ti va tion of one or more channels. This means that the GTU8 will continue transmitting on the channel(s) even though the cor re spond - ing transmission but ton is re - leased. The GTU8 can operate in 6 different modes: Digital 1 group Digital 2 groups To cancel the transmission on Edit Tx-latch a channel, press the cor re - Analog BCD spond ing transmission but ton Split I/O again. Sensor Calibration The latched transmission will continue even if the channel The start-up mode is "Digital group or mode is changed. In 1 group". order to change the status of a latched transmission, it is To change mode: nec es sary to re-enter the 1. Press « Mode » "Edit Tx-latch" mode. 1. Press « Mode » 2.Shift between mode options by pressing either All the latched channels are « ↑ » or « ↓ ». reset to normal Dupline[®] op - 3.Select mode by presser a tion whenever the GTU8 ing « Enter ». becomes disconnected from the Dupline[®] . ## **Digital 1 group** Once connected to the Dupline[®] , the display shows the status of channel group A. Active channels are in di cat ed by their numbers. Pressing «1», «2» ... «8» will activate the corresponding Dupline channel in the se lect ed channel group. ## **Analog BCD** In this mode it is possible to monitor values from analog transmitters that use the multiplexed 3 1/2-digit BCD format. The analog values are shown as BCD numbers with - in the range of -1999 to 1999. By pressing « ↑ » or « ↓ » the group ad dress es can be changed. By keeping « Enter » pressed while ac ti vat ing « ↑ » or « ↓ », the multiplex ad dress will change instead. Pressing « ↑ » or « ↓ » chang - es the channel group shown in the display. ## **Digital 2 groups** When the mode "Digital 2 groups" is selected, the user may select an additional chan nel group for permanent monitoring on the bottom line of the display. The channel status of the two selected groups can now be mon i - tored, but changing the chan - nel sta tus through the keys «1» ... «8» only affects the channels displayed in the upper row of the display. Even so, pressing the « ↑ » or « ↓ » The display will show "Wait" until the selected multiplex address has been present on chan nels A1-A4. If no analog value is trans mit - ted on the selected address, the display will show: "None". If the analog value on the se - lect ed address is not valid, the display will show: "Error". If the multiplex address "OFF" is selected, the display will show the analog value trans - mit ted on the selected chan - nel groups disregarding the multiplex address. "OFF" should be selected when the analog trans mit ters are used in non-multiplexed mode. If a specific analog trans mit ter is to be tested, it is pos si ble to set up its multiplex ad dress in "Tx-latch" mode and then go back to the "Analog BCD" mode to monitor the value. ## **Split I/O** In this mode it is possible to see the status of split I/O channels. The upper row in the display shows the output from the master generator. The lower row in the display shows inputs from Dupline units to the master generator. By pressing « ↑ » or « ↓ » the group ad dress es can be changed. Pressing «1», «2» ... «8» will activate the corresponding Dupline channel in the se lect - ed channel group. ## **Sensor Calibration** The Sensor Calibration function is carried out as a sequence of steps. The function controls one channel on the Dupline[®] bus to tell the attached sensors to calibrate. 1. Enter this function and select the decided Dupline[®] group: - “SELECT SENSOR CALI GROUP: X” - (X is the group number). Press enter when the want- - ed group is selected. 2. When Group is selected the channel within the group must be selected. - “SELECT SENSOR CALI CHANNEL: XY” - (X = Group number, Y = Channel in group X). Press enter when the wanted channel is selected. 3. When the channel has been selected, an intermediate state is entered: “ PRESS ENTER TO CALIBRATE!” Press enter to start Calibrating. 4. When enter is pressed the calibration is started and a progress bar is shown in the display: “0%:************ ************:100%” Don’t press anything the GTU8 will change state automatically. 5. When calibration is finished the following will be shown in the display: “FINISHED! PRESS MODE TO EXIT” Pressing the mode button is the only way to restart calibration or entering a new mode of operation! **Warning:** Do not plug or un - plug the Jack con nec tor when the GTU8 is connected to Dupline[®] . This will cause a short-circuit of the two wires. **Note:** If the Dupline[®] carrier is missing, the display will not turn on. **2** Specifications are subject to change without notice (07.06.2007) Dupline[®] is a registered trademark.
