GA0519POI REV B 14 GCM-A Software Version - = MODBUS • IMPLEMENTATION: The GCM-A operates as a MODBUS Slave Device. It uses the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) transmission mode with even parity. The physical connection is an isolated RS485 2-Wire interface operating at 9600 BAUD. The GCM-A supports the Read Holding Registers (code Ox03) and Read Input REl!listers (code Ox04) commands. Both commands access the same registers . • REGISTER LOCATIONS: The register locations for the GCM-A are described in Table 1 (MODBUS Register Addresses) The register set for the GCM-A is always available starting at offset 16. They are also available at an alternate starting location. The alternate location is calculated by multiplying 512 times the value stored in SET ADDRESS . For example if the SET ADDRESS value is 80 the address of the first register will be 512 X 80 + 16 or 40976. (See SET ADDRESS under REMOTE COMMUNICATION for information on changing the SET ADDRESS value).

The GCM-A executes a "power on self-test" (POST) to verify its proper operation . It verifies its software by checksum testing the contents of its read-only memory (ROM). It tests its power supplies , vacuum pump and cloud chamber solenoids. It sets the LED current and fills the humidifier with water. It checks the flow through the generator and ambient sampling system. The POST will take about 30 seconds to complete if no errors are encountered . At the conclusion of the POST the GCM-A display panel will flash NORMAL OPERATION for two seconds before beg inning normal operation. If the FN key is pressed while it is still flashing , normal operation will be canceled and the GCM-A will enter alternating operating mode instead.

IMPORTANTllt is important to note that the GCM-A system addresses flow monitoring in two ways : the first is by using an external instrument (DP Gauge) to validate flow through the zone manifold; the second method is by way of internal air flow sensors located within the inlet manifold of the GCM-A. For the purposes of system design parameters and validation , the DP Gauge is designated as the authoritative source of information regarding flow across the zone manifold . The GCM-A's internal flow sensor is calibrated with the DP Gauge. Locate the zone manifold that supplies ambient air to the GCM-A. Connect a differentia pressure gauge to the taps on the zone manifold. Loosen or tighten the Allen head flow adjustment screw until the differential Pressure gauge reads 6 millimeters of water (tum the screw clockwise to decrease the flow and reduce the differential pressure). Calibrate the GCM-A's internal air flow sensor with the differential pressure at 6 millimeters of water. The AMB FLOW ADJ selection on the SETUP menu is used to calibrate it. Select SETUP from the main menu then AMB FLOW ADJ from the SETUP menu. The GCM-A will display the ambient airflow in liters per minute. Press the ENTER key to recalibrate the sensor. The GCM-A will respond by flashing SETTING LIMITS for two seconds while it recalibrates the sensor to read 14 LPM. (The sensor may need a second recalibration if the initial value was close to zero or above 25 LPM.) Disconnect the differential pressure gauge and replace the sealing caps on the zone manifold taps. Adjusting the Generator Airflow Allow the flow meters to stabilize by letting the GCM-A warm up for at least 15 minutes prior to making this adjustment. IMPORTANT!
