Installation and Operations Guide

ACM-VLX/VLX/EXP/AXM

About this guide

This document provides information about:

• Identifying ACM-VLX, VLX, EXP, and AXM components

• Installing and wiring an ACM-VLX, VLX, EXPs, and AXM in the field

• Connecting and configuring the ACM-VLX or VLX for network

connectivity and I/O operation

• Maintaining and monitoring ACM-VLX or VLX during operation

How to use this guide

First check Table 1 on page 5 for other documentation you might need,

depending upon your level of expertise and job focus. For example, even

experienced programmers will need the BACtalk Programmer’s Guide and

Reference (LTBT-TM-PRGRMR) for DDC information.

Even if you are an expert with Alerton and Compass systems, review “About the

ACM-VLX, VLX, EXPs, and AXMs” on page 20. The ACM-VLX/VLX/EXP/

AXM combo is a new breed, and this section gives you important information

about new features and how to apply the ACM-VLX and VLX.

“Key illustrations” on page 6 is a good starting point for installation technicians

and engineers. Browse through either or both of these sections to become

familiar with the hardware and the ACM-VLX’s/VLX’s unique new installation

requirements. If a component, feature, or step is not familiar, follow the cross-

reference to more detailed information.

Appendices at the back of the manual provide quick references and worksheets

useful to programmers and system developers.

Setting up the ACM-VLX or the VLX is a four-step process. Each step builds on

the previous one, so this manual is organized in the order of these steps:

1. Install the hardware.

2. Connect with HyperTerminal for configuration.

3. Connect an operator workstation for configuration and checkout.

4. Set up programming, automation, and integration with a solid

understanding of ACM-VLX or VLX data.

After you review installation information, check “VLX/ACM-VLX/EXP/AXM

operation and maintenance” on page 64 for information about running tests and

verifying operation.
