2) Connect electrical device to Relay outputs.

The DAM unit (DAM104/110/106/112 Only) provides some relay outputs; it can be used for control different
device according to requirements. The connection diagram is below:

3) Connect to the PT-100 Temperature Sensor.

Page 6 of 11 King Pigeon Hi-Tech. Co., Ltd. Ver 1.0

 Remote I/O Module
Data Acquisition Module
The DAM unit (DAM118/120/122/124 Only) provides some resistance temperature input; it can be used for
monitoring the temperature according to requirements.

6.1 Initialize/Reset the DAM unit

The Unit can be reset to factory default once mistake programmed. Please follow below steps to initialize it. After
initialized, the parameters will set as factory default.
1) Power on the Unit
2) Press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds,;
3) Loose the RESET Button.
4) When the status LED flashing, then Reboot the unit then recovery to factory default settings, and will enter to
work mode.

6.2 Testing the DAM unit

1) Please refer to the above mentioned wiring connection to finish the connection.
Please only power on the DAM unit before you’re sure the connection are correct.
After connected to the power, the Status LED indicator will ON.

2) Default setting: Address 1, baud rate 9600bps, data format: n,8,1.

Users can change the settings by configuration software.

3) Connect to RS485 interface.

The host should provide the RS485 interface, if no RS485 port, please use the RS232 to RS485 converter. We
recommend the user use the isolated RS485 to improve the reliability.
In the RS485 interface, all of the A+ should connect together, and the B- connects together, too. Also, the GND
should connect together then connect to the Communication GND.
The RS485 network usually allow to connect maximum 32 device. if the device more than 32, then please use
the RS485 repeater to extend it. The RS-485 network should use the shield twist cable, the shield should connect to
GND independently.
The RS485 network communication distance maximum is 1200m, when the communication baud rate is high
will cause the communication distance short, in this case, please use the RS485 repeater.
At the end of the RS485 network, if the communication quality is not good then usually should connect a
120~300Ω/0.25W termination resistors. If the communication quality is good then no need to connect this resistor.

7. Settings & Operations

Step3: Connect the DAM to the PC by RS485/232/USB Cable. And connect the external DC Power to
DC Power Ports, Power on, and switch on the device, see below:

Step4: Install RS485/232/USB Drvier

Install the Driver to the computer. When successful, it can be found out at the device manager of the XP or
Windows 7 or Win8/Win10. Also, please download the driver from the Supplier website of the RS485/232/USB
cable.

Step5: Run the Configurator (Compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10)

Tips: In some computer, it required download net framework 4.0 while installation, then please click “Yes” to go
to Microsoft website to download this service pack.

Step5: Choose the correct "COM port", then click "open Com port", and select the model number
or search the model automatically, after that, then can start to programming.
