Adding 5102RVF relays

Hi all,
I'm putting together a system with sine 5102's in it that ive never used before.
My problem is with adding them in cbus toolkit, all other units show up fine but the relays just show up as 'CBUSUNIT' on address 255 and wont let me do anything with it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Scan the network again and it should show that there are multiple units that the same unit address.
To resolve this either let the software unravel it automatically if it offers you the option, or click on the unravel button.

 

Sounds like a new device conflict, trying unraveling the network, by freeing up address 255 (which is the default address for new devices) - you can trying adding one by one, each time readdressing the new unit as you go

 

even when i hook them up 1 at a time they still show up like this

 

That’s normal, readdress them and job done.

 

i get this error when i try re address

 

We’re these salvaged units from an office strip out?

 

nope, 4 brand new ones

 

How many units on the network? Try shrinking down the network by removing the field units, then have a go, see if you are getting the same errors , also check the burdens

 

Are they powered up from mains? if not I seem to remember there being a push button or so something for programming when not powered

 

Hi Glen,

In toolkit, you can also try to add the units into the database manually with their serial numbers and assign a network address for each of them. Then connect them one at a time to the network, rescan, select the new device at address 255 and then chose the "Readdress to match to database" option by selecting the black downward pointing triangle to the right of the "Readdress" button in the "Units on the Network - Summary" window heading. After this you may be able to Add/Transfer to the database.

Cheers

I had 5 units like this a little while ago brand new out of the box, without much thought I just unplugged the cbus rj45 to all then plugged the cbus in to one unit and scanned the network, re address the unit then plugged in the next one etc.
Unravel didn’t work for me either...
Just make sure there are no other units with address 255 before you start

 

Dont expect to see serial numbers on these units they are original mark1 C-Bus and didnit have stial numbers

 

Oh well...scratch that idea.

Cheers

That’s why I was asking about reclaimed units
