The PC Power Tool is a custom software pro-
gram that provides an easy way to program the
CAV6.6 using a PC to upload the program set-
tings to the controller via a serial cable.
System requirements for PC Power Tool:
1. PC computer running Windows 98,
ME, 2000, XP
2. Minimum 6MB free hard disk space
3. 32MB RAM
4. CD-ROM drive
5. Available RS-232 serial port
After PC Power Tool is installed on the computer,
a new project is created in the program by fol-
lowing the screen prompts and selecting the
appropriate source and zone settings. A “Project”
refers to a complete controller setup, and is
saved as a file on the PC.
Once a project is ready, it must be uploaded to
the CAV6.6 from the PC.
Note: All RNET connections must be disconnect-
ed before uploading the PC Power Tool project
file to the controller.
To upload the file, connect a DB9 serial cable
between the PC COM port and either the front or
rear DB9 connection on the CAV6.6. The
front/rear OS Program selector switch must be
set as well (front or rear).
With the PC Power Tool program running, open
the desired project file. Go to the “Tools” menu
and select “Write to Device.” A status bar will
move as the project file is uploaded from the PC
to the CAV6.6.
When the file is finished uploading, the status
window will close. Disconnect the DB9 cable
from the controller and cycle power to the
CAV6.6.
PC Power Tool project files can also be down-
loaded from the controller to be edited or to be
uploaded to other controllers.
