1 Introduction

Initial Setting Tool is the software that is used to connect, via a LAN, to a Central Controller G-50A and perform

the initial setting for the air conditioner group.

Previously it was necessary to input each type of initial setting such as group registration and group name on site.

Now, this tool can be used to create initial setting data beforehand and complete the initial setting on site simply

by sending the data to the G-50A. By doing this, you can achieve a reduction in the time spent onsite performing

the initial setting operations.

3 Connecting

Given below is an explanation on how to connect Initial Setting Tool PC to the G-50A.

Before connecting Initial Setting Tool PC, set the PC s IP Address consist with the G-50A. For example, if IP

Address of G-50A is [192.168.1.1] (factory setting), set the PC s IP Address to [192.168.1.201].

3-1 Connecting to the G-50A

3-1-1 Connecting to the front of the G-50A

(1) When connecting to the front of the G-50A, first remove the fastener

screw (a) from the main unit cover with a Philips screwdriver. Next,

insert a slotted screwdriver into the release holes (b) located at the

bottom of the main unit, and twist to release the cover.

(2) Once the cover is removed, switch the LAN switch (c) to the

left-hand side (B side) and connect the dedicated LAN connection

cable (PAC-YG00FA-E) to the LAN connector (d). Connect the

other end of the LAN cable to Initial Setting Tool (the PC).

Once the initial setting is complete, always return LAN switch (c) to

the right-hand side (A side) and replace the cover. Failing to return

the LAN switch prevents the G-50A from communicating with the

connected machines via the Ethernet terminal located at the rear.

Note: When connecting to the G-50A with a cross cable, it may not

be possible to obtain a successful connection if your PC s

LAN port automatically switches between 10/100BASE-T. If

this situation arises, connect the PC to the G-50A via a hub in

the same way a hub is used in the system shown in 3-1-3.

When replacing the cover, ensure that the correct cover is

used.

3-1-2 Connecting to the rear of the G-50A

(1) Connect Initial Setting Tool to the Ethernet terminal located at the

rear of the G-50A using a cross cable for 10BASE-T.

Note: When connecting to the G-50A with a cross cable, it may not

be possible to obtain a successful connection if your PC s

LAN port automatically switches between 10/100BASE-T. If

this situation arises, connect the PC to the G-50A via a hub in

the same way a hub is used in the system shown in 3-1-3.

3-1-3 Connecting via a hub

(1) When the LAN wiring for the G-50A is complete, connect via a hub

using a straight cable for 10BASE-T.

data is read, there is no need to read the data again to display a

different type of setting content.

4-2-2 Saving setting data

(1) To save the setting data to a directory in which data was saved the

last time (or a directory from which the data was read), click

[File(F)]-[Save], or press [Ctrl] + [S] on the keyboard. The program

can change the G-50A you are connected to by clicking

[Tool(T)]-[New Connection].

(2) A dialog to change the connection target address appears. Enter

the IP address of the G-50A you want to set.

If you want to change the communication timeout as well, change

the value of [Communication Timeout(sec)]. (This setting does not

need to be changed when connecting via a LAN. Adjust this value

when using a circuit with a slow communication speed such as via a

cellular phone.)
