3.4.26 Map (Facility Mapping)
The RIM-1000 allows users to upload a map of their facility and populate it with RIM-1000 data. This provides users with a real-time view
of their facility, and the physical location and status of all their digital, analog, and Modbus/SNMP slave inputs.
Through the RIM-1000 mapping process, the RIM-1000 creates an overlay for an uploaded map image. It superimposes the locations of
your inputs - based on coordinates you designate - over the top of your map image. Once uploaded and populated, the map is
accessible through links on the RIM-1000 home page.

Mapping is the last step in the RIM-1000 setup process. Do not attempt to map your facility until your monitoring area is completely
assembled - all of your sensors and equipment are in place, wired, and functional. Mapping is faster if all your inputs have been
configured through the RIM-1000 Configuration Menu.
Several tasks are key to the success of facility mapping. First, update the firmware on your RIM-1000 (refer to Chapter 8, “Load Firmware
and Configuration Data” on page 161 for firmware uploads). Facility mapping is only available on RIM-1000 firmware version 8.6.4 or
greater.
Secondly, you’ll need a map of your facility. The map needs to be in .jpg format, and must have a file size less than 500kb. The maximum
physical size of the map is 4000 x 4000 pixels. Since the RIM-1000 never actually edits your map, if you should need to update your map
image, previously designated map points will not need to be reconfigured. As long as you do not change size of your map, previously
mapped coordinates should not need to be adjusted when you upload a new version of your map.
