Installing Your New Program Into the Reliadens™ Controller

Things you will need:

1.

A PC with a 3 1/2" floppy drive. This PC must be close enough to the Reliadens controller so you can download your new program. Laptops are highly recommended.
 

2.

3 1/2" III Sigma program disk.
 

3.

Null Modem cable (Supplied in tool kit with each unit.)
 

4.

Application Builder TM software (3 1/2" disk included with each unit.) If you have lost your copy, another is enclosed.

NOTE: If you have changed your calibration constant from the original one in your program, you may need to make a note of that value so you can put it in your new program.

Follow these steps to load your new program:

1.

Open the controller enclosure and locate the COM2 port on the back of the controller.
 

2.

Insert your NULL MODEM cable into the COM2 port. Connect the other end of the cable to your PC serial port.
 

3.

Start your PC in the DOS MODE.
 

4.

Insert the Application Builder disk in you PC.
 

5.

To start the program, type "BUILD" at the "A" prompt when "A" is your 3 1/2" floppy drive.

If you are having problems with your controller, this is where you will need to "Reset the series 1000". This option is under the UTILITY section of your program. After you have reset the controller, continue with step #7.
 

6.

Remove the Application Builder disk from the "A" drive and insert you III Sigma 3 1/2" program disk into your computer.
 

7.

Locate the new III Sigma program on drive "A", when "A" is your 3 1/2" floppy drive.
 

8.

To located drive "A", press "ESC" and move over to the FILE column by using the arrow keys.
 

9.

When you have highlighted the FILE use the arrow keys and move to the OPEN choice in the column and press ENTER.
 

10.

Using the TAB key, go over and highlight drive "A" (when Drive "A" is your 3 1/2" floppy drive).
 

11.

Press ENTER. After the PC displays the files on your floppy, TAB over to your new program and once you have highlighted it, press ENTER.
 

12.

When the new program code is displayed on your PC, press ESC.
 

13.

Using the arrow keys, highlight the TRANSFER column and then move down to the DOWNLOAD DISK FILE section and press ENTER.
 

14.

Press TAB key to highlight your program and then press ENTER.

NOTE: If you have any "communications failed" messages that come up at this point, check the following items:

1.

Make sure that both ends of the communications cable are firmly attached.
 

2.

Make sure the power is "on" for both the pc and the controller.
 

3.

If #1 and #2 do not work, press F8. This will "re-generate the basic code" for your controller.
 

4.

Finally, you can check your communications settings and make sure that you are using the correct COM port on your pc and that it is set to send the file to the COM2 port on your controller.
 

1.

After transfer is complete, disconnect the cable from the COM2 port and close the controller enclosure.
 

2.

To exit from Application Builder program, press ESC and highlight the MODE column.
 

3.

Use arrow keys to move to the QUIT choice and press ENTER.
 

4.

At the "A" prompt type "EXIT" and press ENTER to exit DOS and return to Windows.
 

5.

Press the F1 (RUN) key on the front of your controller.
 

6.

The program should start and run successfully.
 

7.

If program does not function properly, check all cable connections.
 

8.

If problem persists, repeat the program installation steps.
