VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR
6
Remote datalogger installations require a
telephone transient surge protector (P/N 6362
for enclosure mount. P/N 2372-01 for direct
replacement) unless the telephone company
confirms a surge protector has already been
installed at the remote site. See Figure 3.3.
If a burial phone line and a telephone transient
surge protector are used, attach the wires to the
VS1 as shown in Figure 3-3.
NOTE: It is important that the datalogger
and VS1 are well grounded to an earth
ground to ensure proper operation.
Connect the VS1 to the CR10 via the SC12
Cable. Neither the CR10 or the VS1 use RS232
Serial I/O type pin outs or protocols to
communicate. If you would like more
information on what each pin does on the CR10
please refer to the CR10 Operator's Manual,
Section 6 on 9 PIN SERIAL INPUT/OUTPUT or
to Appendix B in this manual.
If any of your telephone equipment is not
operating properly, you should remove it
immediately from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network. If the
telephone company notes a problem, they may
temporarily discontinue service. When practical,
they will notify you in advance of this
disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible,
you will be notified as soon as possible. When
you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
For assistance in installation or for repair, call or
write to:
Campbell Scientific, Inc.
815 West 1800 North
Logan, UT 84321-1784
(801) 753-2342.
To comply with FCC Rules and Regulations, all
repairs on the VS1 will be performed by
Campbell Scientific, Inc. or an authorized agent
of Campbell Scientific, Inc.
In order to provide you with the best service, it
may be necessary for the telephone company to
make occasional changes in their equipment,
operations, or procedures. If these changes
might affect your service or the operation of
your equipment, the telephone company will
give you notice in writing to allow you to make
any changes necessary to maintain
uninterrupted service.
If you have any questions about your telephone
line, such as how many pieces of equipment
you can connect to it, the telephone company
will provide this information upon request.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary
for the telephone company to request
information from you concerning the equipment
which you have connected to your telephone
line. In this instance, provide the FCC
registration number and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) of the equipment which is
connected to your line; both of these items are
listed on the equipment label and Section 2.1 of
this manual. The sum of all of the RENs on your
telephone lines should be less than five in order
to assure proper service from the telephone
company. In some cases, a sum of five may not
be usable on a given line.
For theory of operation on the modem part of
the VS1 and an "AT" command summary
please refer to Appendix E.
4. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The VS1 Voice Synthesizer Editor can be run
directly off the floppy disk you received with the
VS1. We recommend copying the disk to your
hard drive. It is always a good idea to make a
back up copy of your original disks and then
archive the originals. The disk is not copy
protected.
Follow normal DOS COPY command
procedures to load the VS1 Voice Synthesizer
Editor onto your hard drive. The files necessary
to run the editor are: VS1.EXE and VOICE.TXT.
If there is room on the hard drive, load the
example file called EXMPL1.DLD. This file will
be used later.
5. USING THE VS1 FOR MODEM
COMMUNICATIONS
In order to download files to your datalogger via
modem you will need to modify the phone
number in GRAPHTERM or TERM. Insert three
commas and "*9" at the end of the phone
number for your datalogger.
