The Hand-held Monitor can also be used for device configuration, fault clearing, and forcing I/ O circuits  
and dual bus selection. It can also be set up to prevent the use of any of these capabilities.  
A key feature of the Hand-held Monitor is its ability to communicate with I/ O blocks and to force discrete  
and analog I/ O, whether or not there is a PLC or computer connected to the bus. This greatly simplifies  
system check-out prior to full-scale system operation.

Keyswitch  
The Hand-held Monitor s keyswitch can be used to restrict access to certain features of  
the HHM.  
With the key present, the switch can be placed in either “configure” (cfg) or “monitor ”  
(mon) position.  
cfg  
with the switch in Configure position, all HHM functions are available. In this  
mode, the Hand-held Monitor can be configured to determine which of its fea-  
tures will be usable once the key is removed.  
mon: with the keyswitch in Monitor position, the HHM can monitor bus and block  
data. Additional HHM functions, such as clearing faults or configuring I/ O  
blocks, can be used in Monitor mode only if the HHM has been set up to permit  
their use.  
The key must be present to move the switch from Monitor to Configure mode position;  
it can only be removed in MON position. Two identical keys are supplied with each  
Hand-held Monitor. The key should be removed if system security is a concern.  
Accessories  
The Hand-held Monitor comes with:  
A sturdy removable leather case. The case has a rear tab with snap closure for  
carrying the HHM on a belt. The handle can be pivoted back to stand the  
Hand-held Monitor upright on a table.  
A rechargeable battery pack.  
A battery charger/ adapter with 8-ft cord.  
Two keys for the mode-selection keyswitch.  
A removable 5 ft (1.5 meter) coiled communications cable.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

Power for the Hand-held Monitor  
The Hand-held Monitor can be operated using its built-in battery, or connected to either  
115 volt or 230 volt AC power. A battery pack must always be installed to operate the HHM,  
even when using AC power.  
An optional 230VAC Power Adapter can be used to connect the Hand-held Monitor Charger  
to variety of 230 VAC power outlets. See page 2-2 for more information.  
Charging the Battery Pack for AC Operation  
To operate the HHM using AC power, if the battery pack is new or has become fully  
discharged by operating the HHM on battery power, it must be charged for at least 20  
minutes. If it is necessary to restore temporary operation before charging is complete:  
Plug the adapter cable into the HHM.  
Wait 15 seconds and power up the HHM. It may be necessary to remove the battery pack  
for 15 seconds, then reinstall it.  
Note that continually using the Hand-held Monitor in AC mode for an extended period of  
time causes the battery pack to deteriorate. After up to two years of AC operation of the  
HHM, the battery pack may not be able to accept enough charge to operate the HHM  
independently. However, it can still be used for AC operation.  
Selecting 120 VAC or 230 VAC  
Before plugging the adapter into AC power to operate or charge the Hand-held Monitor,  
be sure the switch at the base of the adapter is correctly set to match the incoming  
power (120 volts AC or 230 volts AC).

Battery Operation  
The HHMs battery pack provides up to 6 hours of operation. To maximize battery life,  
allow the battery to discharge fully between charges. The battery should be allowed to  
fully discharge once a month.  
Low Battery Power  
Low battery power may cause this message:  
* * L O W B A T T E R Y * *  
* * H H M H A L T E D * *  
P l e a s e R e c h a r g e  
Or the display may blank, or two black lines may appear briefly. Low battery power  
suspends the current operation.  
Charging the Battery Pack  
When you receive a new Hand-held Monitor, its battery pack is not charged. Before  
using a new battery pack to power the HHM for the first time, charge it by plugging the  
adapter into a power source for 24 hours. After this initial charging, subsequent  
rechanges will require only 16 hours.  
Maintaining spare battery packs will allow the HHM to operate using one battery pack  
while another is being charged.  
If the battery pack wont take a charge, it usually indicates a faulty battery pack, not a  
faulty Hand-held Monitor. Try another battery pack. Replacement (uncharged) battery  
packs are available.  
If a battery pack is left uncharged for a long time, it may be necessary to remove the  
battery pack from the HHM and charge it while removed for up to 15 minutes.  
Replacing the Battery Pack  
To replace the battery pack, use a Phillips screwdriver (size 0 or 1) to release the retaining  
screw at the bottom of the HHM. Slide the battery pack out, insert another, and tighten  
the screw.  
Automatic Shutoff  
To conserve power, the Hand-held Monitor automatically shuts off 10 minutes after the  
last key is pressed. For applications where continual operation is preferred, the  
automatic shutoff feature can be disabled. See page 3-5 for more information.

Permanent Installation  
If the Hand-held Monitor is to be installed using the metal bracket provided, follow the  
instructions below. Do not install the HHM yet if it will be used to configure I/O blocks.  
The mounting bracket provided can be used to install the Hand-held Monitor behind a  
panel. You will need to make a cutout in the panel for the HHM (see next page).  
You will also need to install a connector for the Hand-held Monitor within reach of the  
HHMs cable. The extra D-shell connector provided with the Hand-held Monitor  
requires a panel cutout, with the bus cable and Hand-held Monitor located on the  
opposite sides of the panel (see page 2-8).  
An optional panel-mountable or DIN rail-mountable connector is also available. It does  
not require a cutout. See page 2-9 for details.

The Hand-held Monitor can be used to configure (establish the operating characteristics for) a wide  
variety of other devices. Some configurable devices are:  
Genius I/ O Blocks, High-speed Counter Blocks, and PowerTRAC Blocks  
the Series 90-70 Remote I/ O Scanner and its remote drop  
Field Control stations.  
The Hand-held Monitor displays a unique set of configuration screens for each type of configurable  
device.  
Because of the wide assortment of configuration features provided by the HHM, it has not been possible  
to include them all here. You should refer to the more detailed configuration instructions in the User’s  
Manual for the type of device you are configuring.

Online or Offline Configuration  
Devices can be configured before or after  
installation on a properly-terminated serial bus. If  
a new device is to be added to an existing bus  
running at a baud rate other than 153.6 Kbaud  
standard, the device must first be configured  
offline. Be careful adding new devices to existing  
systems. Be sure the baud rate configured for the  
new device matches that of the system - never mix  
baud rates on a bus.  
Warnings  
If the device is not properly grounded,  
hazardous voltages may exist. Death or  
injury may result.  
DO NOT TOUCH the connectors or  
wiring after powering up the device.  
Hazardous voltages exist, and death or  
injury may result.  
OnlineConfiguration  
When configuring a device on an operating bus,  
the Hand-held Monitor must be the ONLY HHM  
plugged into a device on the bus. If devices are  
configured online, the HHM automatically check  
for PLC reference address conflicts.  
StartingConfiguration  
Note: To assign a serial bus address, the  
Hand-held Monitor must be directly attached to  
the device being configured. Additional features  
can be configured with the Hand-held Monitor  
connected at any point on the bus. In that case, the  
device being configured must be selected as the  
active device (on the Block/ Bus Status screen).  
OfflineConfiguration  
It may be most convenient to configure devices  
off-line at a central location. Each device will need  
to be connected to an appropriate source of power  
and to earth ground. To prepare a device for  
off-line configuration:  
1. Begin with the Hand-held Monitor turned off.  
Attach the HHM to the device (see below) or  
to another bus connection point.  
1. Connect a 75 ohm resistor across the Serial 1  
and Serial 2 terminals, or use the 75 ohm  
terminator plug (IC660BLM508).

Configuring a Remote I/O Scanner  
After selecting the baud rate, the next Program  
Block ID screen is used to assign data types and  
lengths for a Series 90-70 Remote I/ O Scanner.  
Configuringthe Remote Drop  
To configure the remote drop with the HHM:  
1. Enter a starting address and length for: %I (dis-  
crete inputs), %Q (discrete outputs), %AI (ana-  
log inputs), %AQ (analog outputs) on the  
screen shown at left. The data lengths must  
not add up to more than 128 bytes of inputs  
and 128 bytes or outputs. If they do, an error  
message will appear when you attempt to send  
the data to the Remote I/ O Scanner.

2. Next, press F2 (drop) and enter a Remote Drop  
ID (between 16 and 254).  
The Remote I/O Scanner Users Manual explains  
remote drop configuration in detail. You should  
use it as a reference during remote drop  
configuration.  
P R O G R E M O T E M A P  
D R O P I D _____________  
Also, look over the information below.Especially,  
note that it is not always possible or desirable to  
use a HHM for remote drop configuration.  
t g l d r p s e n d n x t  
If the remote drop includes any Analog Expan-  
der Modules, Logicmaster 90 must be used for  
configuration; do not use a HHM.  
3. Press the F3 (send) key to download these  
selections to the Remote I/ O Scanner.  
Note: Do not perform this step if you want to  
preserve a configuration entered using the Lo-  
gicmaster software.  
When a remote drop is configured with a  
HHM, all I/ O modules will operate in default  
mode; module options can only be configured with  
the Logicmaster 90-70 software.  
The HHM configures the I/ O references of Se-  
ries 90-70 I/ O modules (only) in the remote  
drop. It assigns references in ascending order,  
starting with the slot next to the Remote I/ O  
Scanner. The leftmost module of each type (%I,  
%Q, %AI, or %AQ) in the rack receives the first  
available reference of the appropriate type.  
Unless the Remote I/ O Scanner is configuration  
protected, pressing F3 (send) from the Remote  
Map configuration screen causes the HHM to  
automatically configure the remote drop. This  
configuration will REPLACE any existingI/ O  
configuration (including one entered using Lo-  
gicmaster 90-70), and return I/ O module op-  
tions to their original defaults.  
4. Press F4 (nxt) to go to the Program Block ID  
screen.  
5. After completing these screens, press F2 (Con-  
figure Block) to complete the Genius configura-  
tion screens, or to display information about  
the I/ O modules in the remote drop.  
Remote drops configured with Logicmaster  
90-70 are automatically protected. Please check  
carefully before removing configuration protec-  
tion with a Hand-held Monitor.  
The module description screens that appear  
during the configuration sequence are read-  
only; boards cannot be configured here.  
The Hand-held Monitor automatically creates a  
configuration for a nine-slot rack, regardless of  
the actual rack size. If the remote drop has a  
five-slot rack, the HHM will later assume that  
there are unfilled slots. If this is a problem, Lo-  
gicmaster 90-70 can be used for configuration,  
or to edit an automatic configuration done with  
a Hand-held Monitor. Then, the configuration  
can be stored to the Remote I/ O Scanner.

Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous) as needed to  
display information about other device.  
Note: Poor bus conditions may cause the HHM to  
skip (not display) a device that is present on the  
bus. Try moving the HHM to a different  
connector on the bus. Occasionally, this problem is  
caused by certain older Genius blocks that do not  
communicate with the HHM properly. If the  
problem persists, such blocks can be upgraded.

Monitor Block Display for a PowerTRACBlock  
If the active device is a PowerTRAC block, the  
HHMs Monitor Block function displays the  
following screens:  
Bit 15 = 1 means the overcurrent event indicated  
by bit 4 occurred on the auxiliary current  
line.  
One screen showing the states of all of the  
block’s Status Inputs.  
Bit 16 = 1 indicates an internal calculation has re-  
sulted in an out-of-range value. The block  
should be reconfigured to prevent this.  
Individual screens showing the blocks current  
calculated data values. In the Monitor Block  
function, these values are NOT labelled. It is  
easier to display this information using the  
Monitor/ Control Reference function (F2), be-  
cause those displays are labelled.  
Calculated Data  
After the Status Inputs, the HHM displays the  
block’s calculated data. If the PowerTRAC Block is  
version 2.3 or later, this includes the additional  
“low-priorityI/ O” data listed on page 5-11.

High alarm/low alarm: An analog input value ex-  
ceeds its high or low alarm limit.  
For an analog block, the values may represent  
either engineering units or unscaled analog data.  
Input shorted: An RTD input circuit measurement  
is less than expected for the RTD type.  
For an RTD or Thermocouple block, the values  
represent tenths of degrees (Celsius or  
Fahrenheit), tenths of ohms, or unconverted  
counts.  
Internal fault: Internal calibration readings for a  
pair of RTD circuits are out of tolerance.  
Open wire: On an RTD block, the RTD is missing  
or faulty, or there is an open wire. On an  
analog block, an input configured for 4 to  
20mA has less than 2mA present.  
Press F1 ( > ) to display other circuits.

Pulse Testing Outputs on Discrete Genius Blocks  
Pulse Testing verifies the ability of outputs on a  
Clearing Pulse Test Faults  
discrete block to change state. Pulse Testing also  
indicates whether output circuits (wires, power  
sources, loads) will start or stop current flow.  
Pulse testing is recommended for blocks  
controlling outputs that seldom change state. It  
provides assurance that when needed, an output  
will operate correctly. Blocks that control outputs  
which frequently change state do not need to use  
the Pulse Test feature. Pulse Testing does not  
provide enough energy to activate mechanical  
devices such as motor starters, relays, or solenoid  
valves, but it may change the state of a very small  
load.  
If you press the CLEAR key from the Pulse Test  
screen, all faults on the block will be cleared.  
If you press the Clear key from the  
Monitor/ Control screen (after displaying a specific  
circuit fault), only that fault will be cleared.

At 38.4 Kbaud, unterminated HHM cable  
may cause this message. Remove the HHM  
cable or check that HHM is connected to a  
properly-terminated bus.  
This error may occur if the Hand-held Mon-  
itor is connected to a bus and an incorrect  
baud rate is selected.  
Cycle power to the Hand-held Monitor and try  
again. If the message returns, look for its error  
number in the list at right.

This number indicates an internal fault, or  
excessive noise on the bus, or that the bus is  
operating at a different baud rate from the  
HHM. Press the ON/ OFF key then discon-  
nect the HHM cable from the bus  
from  
the HHM. Press the ON/ OFF key again. If  
the message reappears, replace the HHM.
