It serves as an isolated interface After the initial software configuration, a PC is no longer required. Field calibration is easily handled with the between the IntelliPack and the PC. A cable IntelliPack’s push-buttons, status LEDs and a standard field calibrator. with RJ11 phone-style plugs at each end links the adapter to the IntelliPack’s serial port. The software, adapter, and cable are sold as a kit (Model 800C-SIP) for easy ordering. Once connected, the software reads the IntelliPack’s non-volatile memory to determine the unit type and loads the appropriate configu- ration form with several property pages. As you select the input range and alarm function on the general property page, the other pages are dynamically customized to speed you through the procedure. After you select the operating parameters, the configuration is downloaded and stored in the IntelliPack’s memory. The con- figuration is also saved to a file for subsequent downloading to other modules or for quick modifications. This capability saves you valuable downtime and archives your settings. After you complete the configuration, the soft- ware provides a detailed printout to document your application. Typical software configuration screen. Data is uploaded from the IntelliPack module.

A test screen (shown at right) indicates the current input signal value and the averaged value. The status of the relay and output signal are also dis- played. You can override the output for 10 seconds to verify the system is responding properly. The screen’s IntelliPack diagram has representative LEDs to help you detect any bulb failures and verify proper operation. On alarm modules, you can reset latched relays in software by clicking the screen’s reset button with your mouse. Quickly test or monitor your IntelliPack module with a software screen that displays all current values. ■Software Calibration The IntelliPack’s configuration software makes calibrating your transmitters and alarms very easy. You can upload your IntelliPack’s current calibration and quickly verify the settings or make changes on the input, output and thermo- couple reference junction calibration property sheets. The output calibration window has a slider con- trol that you can drag with your mouse. This slid- er allows you to adjust the output current or voltage signal independent of the input signal. If a unit is miscalibrated or you make a mistake, you can instantly restore the factory calibration settings. The original values are displayed on the screen. Easily set calibration values by simply typing in the values or restore original factory settings instantly.
