Establishing Infrared (IR) Communication

DO NOT attempt to install or use the IR communication link for I.S. versions
while in the hazardous area.

When used with Windows 2000, the IR transducer supplied by Casella CEL is plugged into one of the PC
COM ports, where it acts as a plug and play unit. For other versions of Windows, please follow the
installation instructions supplied with the transducer.
Once installed, Windows will assume the IR transducer is a Windows managed device and take over
complete control of it, preventing control by Pump Manager. To avoid this conflict, Windows control must
be disabled in the PC as follows.

1.

Click the Start button at bottom left of the PC display.


2.

Select the Control Panel option from the Settings menu.

The Devices field should include:
“ACTiSYS IR-220L Serial Infrared Device”.

Windows and must be disabled. Click the Properties key.


6.

Open the Device Usage menu.


7.

Select Do not use this device (Disable) and click OK.
The Device Status should now be shown as “This Device is Disabled”so that it can be controlled
by Pump Manager software.
Now configure the IR link in Pump Manager as follows.

1.

Start Pump Manager by double clicking on its desktop icon, by entering its name in the RUN

menu obtained via the Start button Run option, or using Start - Programs... option.
