ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 Important Notes Before your Proceed: The alarm MUST be connected to COM1: on your computer running WireReady. If you were planning to use COM1 for one of your wire service(s), don't. Or if you are adding this alarm to an existing WireReady system and one of your wire services is already connected to COM1, you need to move that wire service to another COM port. For example, COM2, COM3, or COM4. You may have to add an expansion card to your computer to give you a COM2, COM3, or COM4 if you don't see any additional serial ports on your computer. (Serial ports are MALE and are either 9 pin or 25 pin connectors). These cards cost anywhere from $25 to $75 depending on where you buy them. We also stock and supply these if you prefer to buy one from us. For stand-alone customers: Put on any WireReady SA system you've set up. For LAN customers: Put on your CAPTURE STATION (since it's the one you know is on all the time) If you've purchased an alarm for a specific person's need, put it on their computer) (assuming they only want it active, when they are in WireReady) For both new and existing systems AFTER THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN INSTALLED: Once you've moved the wire service over to the other COM port, you need to go into our SETUP program. Choose SELECT SERVICE TYPE AND SPEED, choose the wire service you moved, and CHANGE THE COM PORT. Then SAVE changes. You can also use our built in loop back and sample test functions to make sure the new COM port works. (The default choice for a wire service is COM1, and you need to change this to COM2 etc.) For customers with one wire service: The BEST port to choose for the wire service is COM2. Almost all computers come standard with 2 com ports. COM ports are ALWAYS MALE (you can see the pins) and they are either 9 pin or 25 pin. It doesn't matter what size they are, although the actual pins you use differ for each one. If you don't have a second COM port, you'll need to add an expansion that gives you COM2. These can be store bought for around $50. For customers with two or more wire services, or those who have modem with PC/ANYWHERE etc. (your PC must be at least a 286 with 2MB of RAM and the WireReady disks must say PLUS) TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 This is more complicated than just using COM2. You'll also need COM3 and/or COM4. WireReady uses something called the IRQ (interrupt) line on COM ports for high-performance. 99% of cards make both COM1 and COM3 use one IRQ, and COM2 and COM4 use another. Luckily the ALARM doesn't use an IRQ, so a normal COM3 is okay. So two services is easy. However, you can't use a standard COM4 since it will interfere with COM2. We sell a special expansion card that lets COM4 use a different IRQ number. It's called an MIO550 and lets COM4 use IRQ 5 without any problems. It's only $69 (as of 1/96) Thus, you can easily equip a computer to have up to 3 wire services and an alarm. For 4 or more services, or if you don't want to use COM3 and COM4, we sell special 4-port cards. NOTE: THE ALARM MAY NOT TRIP IF YOU LEAVE AN RS-232 MINI TESTER IN LINE BETWEEN IT AND THE COMPUTER.

TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 OVERVIEW OF THE ID5000 The ID5000 is used to generate an alarm when specified wire feeds are received by your WireReady PC(s). When the alarm is tripped, it will activate the built-in audible alarm and/or the optional external alarm you may have connected. After the reset button or remote-reset you may have connected is pressed the alarm(s) will de-activate. Electrically speaking, the alarm is tripped when the DTR pin on COM 1 drops low (-10 volts). While in WireReady, DTR is normally driven hi (+10 volts), and when a wire feed comes in which meets the specifications to trip the alarm, DTR is dropped low (-10 volts) for 1-2 seconds. The ID5000 converts this change in voltage to a contact closure. Programming which feeds set off the alarm is done in WireReady software on the computer, not on the alarm itself. See the WireReady User Guide for directions on setting wire feeds to trip the alarm. NOTE... THE RESET BUTTON WILL BE IGNORED UNTIL THE ALARM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED FOR AT LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. WARNING... ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE PC SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE PC TURNED OFF. ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE ID5000 SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE POWER CORD UNPLUGGED. NOTE... WHEN REFERRING TO POSITIONS OF CONNECTORS ON THE ID5000, WE PRESUME YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE ID5000 WITH THE POWER CONNECTOR ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER.

When the power cord is attached to the ID5000 and plugged into the electrical outlet, the LED in the lower right corner of the ID5000 will light. NOTE... WHEN YOU CONNECT POWER TO THE ID5000 THERE IS A CHANCE THE ALARM WILL SOUND. IF THE ALARM SOUNDS, SIMPLY PRESS THE RESET BUTTON. HOW TO CONNECT THE ID5000 TO THE PC The only connection between the ID5000 and the PC is via the included RS-232 cable. This cable has already been connected to the ID5000. If for some reason you need to reconnect the yellow and red conductors, the connections are: RED (pin 20) connects to the connector on the far left of the barrier strip (IN-1). YELLOW (pin 7) connects to the connector second from the far left of the barrier strip (IN-1). DO NOT REVERSE POLARITY. If you switch the red and yellow wires, the TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 alarm will not sound. You need to connect the other end of this cable to COM1 (3F8) of the PC. We have included a 25-9 adaptor cable if your com1 port is a 9 pin. THE ID5000 MUST BE CONNECTED TO COM1. The ID5000 will not work on any other serial port with current versions of Wireready. If you currently have a wire service on COM1, you can move that wire service to another serial port. Then go into SETUP and change WireReady's SELECT SERVICE TYPE AND SPEED settings to let it know the wire service has been moved to another port. (note for techies: it's okay to use COM3 IRQ4 with a wire service since the alarm doesn't enable IRQ4 on COM1) WireReady only enables interrupts for incoming wire services, not the alarm or with printers. CONNECTING YOUR OPTIONAL EXTERNAL ALARM TO THE ID5000 You can connect an external alarm so that when the ID5000 is tripped the external alarm will be activated. Unless you disconnect the built-in audible alarm, both alarms, the built-in alarm and the external alarm, will be activated. The external device can support any type of alarm (ie. audible, visual, tactile) as long as it will work on contact closures. THE EXTERNAL ALARM RELAYS CAN SUPPORT A CURRENT OF .5 AMPS AT 30VDC - DO NOT EXCEED THESE SPECIFICATIONS. To connect your external alarm: connect the leads from the external alarm to the barrier strip positions NO1 and C1. These are located on the barrier strip, starting from the left, at locations 13 and 14 respectively. CONNECTING YOUR OPTIONAL EXTERNAL RESET BUTTON TO THE ID5000 You can connect an external reset button so that when the ID5000 is tripped it can be reset without your having to be right next to the alarm. The built-in reset button can still be used even if you have connected an external reset button. To connect your external rest button: connect the leads from the external reset button to the fourth (IN-2) and fifth positions (IN-2) from the left on the barrier strip. NOTE: THE ALARM MAY NOT TRIP IF YOU LEAVE AN RS-232 MINI TESTER IN LINE BETWEEN IT AND THE COMPUTER. DISCONNECTING THE BUILT-IN AUDIBLE ALARM You do NOT have to disconnect the built-in audible alarm in order to use an external alarm. To disconnect the built-in alarm, carefully remove the buzzer from the PCB mounts on the backside of the card. EXPLAINING THE LEDS: There are a total of 5 LEDs on the ID5000, only 3 of them are used. TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 The LED in the lower right corner is lit when there is power to the ID5000. The lower left LED is lit when the alarm is tripped and remains lit until it is reset. The second LED from the left is lit when reset is pressed. DIP switch and jumper settings The dip switch and the jumper settings have been pre-set. Do not change them. The dips and jumpers are located underneath the metal housing. To remove the metal housing remove the two screws found on top of the alarm. If the settings do get changed, these are the proper settings: Dip switch settings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ------ 1-6 = UP (on) 7-8 = DOWN (off) -- Jumper settings: The jumpers are found by holding the alarm with the barrier strip right in front of you. On the left hand side, in the middle are found the two rows of jumpers, signified by JP and then a number. Top Row: 16 pin bank, jumper the right most 12 as shown. First 4 pins left open. Bottom Row: On all four 3-pin banks, jumper the right most 2 pins on each bank. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE... FOR CURRENT ALARM USERS: UNLIKE OUR PREVIOUS ALARMS, THE ID5000 TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 DOES NOT SOUND THE BUILT-IN ALARM WHEN THE CABLE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE PC. NOTE: THE ALARM MAY NOT TRIP IF YOU LEAVE AN RS-232 MINI TESTER IN LINE BETWEEN IT AND THE COMPUTER. PROBLEM: THE BUILT-IN AND/OR EXTERNAL ALARM DOES NOT SOUND WHEN A WIRE FEED IS RECEIVED WHICH SHOULD HAVE TRIPPED THE ALARM. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: 1) If the built-in alarm sounds but your external alarm does not go off: make sure that if you manually create the closure that the external alarm is tripped. If manually creating the closure activates the external alarm, make sure that the external alarm is properly connected to the ID5000. If manually creating the closure does NOT trip the external alarm, then you have problems with your external alarm. Before you call us for assistance with your external alarm, make sure that the external alarm will be tripped when you manually create the closure. 2) If neither the built-in or the external alarm (if connected) is activated: follow the steps below. 3) Make sure there is power to the ID5000. Is the power LED lit? 4) Make sure the top rightmost LED lights when the alarm should sound. If it lights but the built-in buzzer does not sound, then the buzzer is either not properly connected or it is malfunctioning. Make sure the wires from the buzzer are connected to the board properly. If they are, give us a call for assistance. 5) If the top rightmost LED does NOT light, then the alarm is not being tripped by the PC. Check to make sure: a) that the cable between the PC and the ID5000 is connected properly. b) that the search specifying which wire feeds should trip the alarm is properly set up. See the WireReady User Guide for instructions on specifying wire feeds to trip the alarm. c) that the alarm is connected to the COM1 (3F8) serial port on the PC. NOTE: THE ALARM MAY NOT TRIP IF YOU LEAVE AN RS-232 MINI TESTER IN LINE BETWEEN IT AND THE COMPUTER. PROBLEM: The external reset does not reset the alarm. TECHDOCS\HARDWARE\ID5000.INS 1/96 SAF QA4 (REV 1/98) ID5000 UI4-II Alarm Generation System HW-ALARM-ID5000 POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: 1) Place a jumper wire where the two leads from the reset button go into the ID5000 and see if that generates the reset. If it does, there is either a problem with your external reset device or your connections to the ID5000 are not proper. You may want to do a continuity check to see if the closure is being made when the external reset button is pushed. If jumpering the contacts does not result in a reset, give us a call, the ID5000 may be malfunctioning. 2) Remember the alarm will not reset until it has been activated for at least 1-2 seconds. PROBLEM: The alarm sounds as soon as the cable is attached to a com port. The reset button does not turn off the alarm, unless the cable is disconnected from the com port. SOLUTION: This problem usually occurs if a specific diode is connected improperly, or is not present. Unscrew the top of the UI-4 alarm, and remove the top plate. The board will be uncovered. Look at the board, with the power jack and Reset button in the lower right corner. On the left side of the board, next to the post that holds one of the screws you removed when removing the top plate, the board is labeled D15. Next to that should be a diode which is black with a gray stripe. The stripe should be on the top edge of the diode. If the stripe is towards the bottom of the board, then it is installed incorrectly. If the diode is installed incorrectly, or is not present, return the UI-4 to the place you bought it.
