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.

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).

Using the 230VAC Power Adapter
The optional 230VAC Power Adapter (IC660MCA512) can be used to connect the Hand-
held Monitor Charger to variety of 230 VAC power outlets by means of a standard com-
puter cable (not supplied).

Battery Operation
The HHM’s 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 won’t 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
HHM’s 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.

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.

Configuration Notes
2. Next, press F2 (drop) and enter a Remote Drop
ID (between 16 and 254).
The Remote I/O Scanner User’s 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.

Processor’s EEPROM memory. If the circuit is an
output, the physical state of the output also
changes. If the circuit is an input, the forced input
data is sent to the CPU. A circuit retains its forced
state or value if power is removed. The forced
circuit ignores data from an attached input device,
or output data from the CPU. The force can
ONLY be removed from the Hand-held Monitor.

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.
