How to Install

1. Required Hardware

The following is the minimum hardware that is required to run Relay Timer PPC:

. Pocket PC 2003 or later

. Microsoft ActiveSync and synchronization hardware for application installation

. RS232 serial adaptor cable suitable to connect the Pocket PC with a standard DB9 serial port on the peripheral devices (Relay Control Board)

About the serial adaptor cable, one solution is a Compact Flash to Serial adaptor such as the Serial I/O CF Card manufactured by Socket. Another option is to obtain a serial adaptor that connects directly to the synchronization port of the Pocket PC.

2. To install Relay Timer PPC

. Connect the Pocket PC to the desktop PC and ensure that ActiveSync is operating correctly.

. Run Relay Timer PPC setup executable file on your desktop PC and follow the installation wizard.

Another way to install Relay Timer PPC:

. Copy Relay Timer PPC setup *.cab file from desktop PC to Pocket PC.

. Run the *.cab file on Pocket PC to finish installing.

How to Set COM Port

The default COM Port is COM0 with baud Rate 115200. The port and baud Rate can be set as below.

1. Click Menu -> Configure

The Configuration dialog will be opened.

2. Select Port Name and Baud Rate.

3. Click OK to finish setting.

How to Turn On/Off Relay Manually

The light on top right of relay control panel indicates the status of the relay. Red for relay on, green for relay off.

1. Click mode button to step into Manual mode.

2. Click the slider to turn on/ off the relay. The light becomes green/red.

How to Turn On/Off Relay Automatically

The default mode is auto mode, that is, the On/ Off status of relay is depending on time setting. The time of the relay on must be set at first.

1. Click Setting button on the relay control panel to open Relay Setting dialog.

2. Click Add button to open Time Setting dialog. The relay can be given a name here.

3. Input the Start Time and End Time of this relay on. Click OK to return Relay Setting dialog. Different time schedules can be added by this way.
