Quickstart guide

You can find a detailed "How-to-start" guide in the manual on page 5, section "Quick Setup", this is only a summary of the necessary steps.:

  1. Set DIP1, DIP3 and DIP4 to OFF
  2. Connect the supplied door contact to the binary input. (for example Input 3 = 2 pins next to the DIP switches).
    Note: Binary inputs description can be found in the datasheet on page 14, or on our website: Poseidon model 1140.
  3. Connect the cable forHTemp-485 sensor to Poseidon (Port1 DB9F).
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the HTemp-485 sensor, unles specified otherwise, this is the description of the wires:
    - Black (black) cable - pin A (+)
    - Grey (grey) cable - pin B (-)
    - Purple (violet) cable - pin Vcc
    - Yellow (yellow) cable - pin GND
  5. Connect the device to Ethernet
  6. Connect the power adaptor and plug it to the power source.
  7. Launch the Hercules Setup Utility (you can find it on the supplied CD) and click the "Find Devices" button on the first tab "UDP Config". By clicking on the item on the list, you will see the set IP address, mask, etc. Change these according to your network setup and save using the "Apply Changes" button.
