6.1 Equipment Installation Steps

Note

1) SPROG-1 or UP2 cables for receiver programming are not included with the receiver. 2) To set the parameters you need to install GProg2 software. To download GProg2 installation file go to www.trikdis.com

  1. If received device does not have preset exploitation parameters, please set them as described in Setting of Exploitation Parameters below.
  2. Connect receiver to computer using RS232 cable to forward events to the monitoring software.
  3. Set up your monitoring software to display receiver messages. Please follow instructions in your monitoring software documentation.
