II. INTRODUCTION
The COM_CPS software runs on a PC platform. It is designed to be used exclusively with a CPS (C ar
Park System) central detection controller from Oldham . CPS central controller operations are addressed
in a separate manual.
1. Purpose of the Application
The COM_CPS software allows you to:

■ configure one or more central detection controllers through a PC, to save these settings and to
transfer them to the CPS central detection controller(s);
■ transfer the settings from a CPS central detection controller for review or modification with the
COM_CPS software.
Figure 1: the COM_CPS software is designed to

configure CPS central measuring controllers via a PC. D1
2. Principles of Operation
Once installed on a PC, the COM_CPS software can be used for the procedures described below:
■ Step 1: general configuration settings for the CPS central detection controller (display language,
central controller name, password, line names, etc.). These functions are described in detail in
the “General Configuration” chapter on page 18.
■ Step 2: configurations for various types of detectors (type and range of measurement, alarm
thresholds, etc.) which can be connected to the CPS central measuring station to be configured.
These functions are described in detail in the “Configuration of Various Detectors” chapter on
page 22.
■ Step 3: creation of installation architecture, or module attribution (detector, relay module, logic
input module, logic output module) at various locations along the installation. These functions are
described in detail in the “Installation Architecture” chapter on page 28.
■ Step 4: definition of the "events – relay activation” relationship. This function is described in
detail in the “Relay Action Matrix” chapter on page 34.
■ Step 5: definition of the "events – analog outputs” relationship. This function is described in detail
in the “Outputs Action Matrix” chapter on page 41.
■ Step 6: definition of the "logic inputs (LI) – logic output activation” relationship. This function is
described in detail in the “Logic Inputs Action Matrix” chapter on page 46.
■ Step 7: identification of events acting on the CPS central measuring controller’s shared relays,
internal activated audible alarm delays, forced ventilation shut-down schedules and forced
ventilation settings. These functions are described in detail in the “Relay Information” chapter on
page 48.
■ Step 8: transfer of configuration data from the PC to the CPS central measuring controller or
transfer of central controller settings to the PC for verification and/or modification. These

Bottom of the Window

The bottom portion of the window is used to configure the various gas detectors. Refer to the Use
paragraph below for detailed instructions.
Figure 20: View of the bottom portion of the Configuring the Detectors tab.
2. Use
Configure a detector from the Configuring the Detectors tab by following the instructions below.
NOTE: if the application was closed after configuration (see previous chapter), simply import the
previously saved configuration file by going to the File menu and selecting Open and navigating to
the desired file.
Modify the Settings for a Detector
Step 1: Define the type of detector (“Detector” tab)

This tab is used to define the general data for a detector (type, name, measuring range and unit of
measure). All of the data defined in this window will be shown on the CPS central detection
controller display screen.
A B C
D E
Figure 21: Selection of a detector. 010
Follow the steps below to select a detector:
23
■ In the List of Detector Types (Figure 21, ref. D), click the number (1 to 10) that will receive the
data for the detector being configured. Each number corresponds to a type of decector. This list
(Figure 21, ref. D) can contain up to 10 types of the detectors usable by the CPS central
controller.
■ Detectors: open the drop-down list (Figure 21, ref. A) and select (Figure 21, rep. E) the detector
to you wish to configure with the CPS. This detector will be included in the List of Detector Types
(Figure 21, ref. D) once the drop-down list has been closed. These detectors have pre-defined,
but editable alarm thresholds.
If a specific detector is not included in the list, select Other. (Figure 21, ref. A). Other detectors
have no predefined alarm thresholds ..
NOTE: this list can contain any number of detectors designed by Oldham . However, the central
measuring controller can only accept up to 10 types of detectors at a time, and only those listed in the
table List of Detector Types (Figure 21, ref. D).
■ Detector name: user-defined name (Figure 21, ref. B), for the detector selected in the table (C),
12 characters max. (no accents or special characters). Example: CO – INLET.
■ Range: the two fields (Figure 22: The range of a predefined detector cannot be changed. 011
for a detector belonging to the group of predefined detectors in the drop down list (Figure 22, ref. A
and C.)
A B C
Figure 22: The range of a predefined detector cannot be changed. 011
Only the options Other (Figure 23, ref. C), or Analog Input in the Detectors list allow modification of
the Range (ref. A) and unit (ref. B).
Select the value and the unit (ref A and ref. B) from the drop-down lists.
A B C D E
Figure 23: The range of an “Other” detector can be changed. 012
■ Abbreviated Name: fill out this field (Figure 23, ref. E) with any 5-character name. This name
will be displayed on the CPS central controller display.
■ Hysteresis: enter the hysteresis value (Figure 23, ref. D) in the correct unit of measure for the
given range. Hysteresis impacts the value at which the alarm is cleared. So, if a rising edge
trigger (used, for example with CO), a 1% max. hysteresis for a range of 100 ppm will constrain
the triggering of alarms 1, 2, 3 and 4 as shown below:
Enabbled alamr when

103ppm reached Disabbled alarm when threshold :
threshold 100 ppm – 3%, 97 ppm
Figure 24: Example of hysteresis D_02
24
However, these values must be inversed for falling edge triggers (used for oxygen, for example).
Reminder: Falling edge and Rising edge are defined in the Alarm 1 - Alarm 4 tabs (see paragraph
below).
Step 2: Define alarm thresholds (“Alarm 1” – “Alarm 4” tabs)
Note: pre-configured alarm thresholds to be displayed when a pre-programmed sensor is selected. You
may modify these values, however by following the instructions in this paragraph. The pre -configured
values are those recommended by the manufacturer.
These four tabs are identical: each tab is used to define the characteristics of each of the 4 gas
alarms. Alarms can be configured for delays, acknowledgement, triggering, and an instantaneous
and an averaged alarm threshold (including integration time). The instantaneous and averaged
alarm thresholds can be activated or deactivated.
A B C
Figure 25: "Alarm" tab. 013
■ Settings: (Figure 25, ref. A) define the delay, the acknowledgement type and the trigger type for
the alarm.
Setting Description
Delay Value, in seconds, of the delay between when the alarm threshold is passed and when the instantaneous
and averaged alarms are triggered.
Acknowledgement Manual: the alarm can only be dismissed after the “Acknowledge” button on the CPS central detection
controller has been pushed.
Automatic: the alarm will be automatically dismissed once the alarm condition has ended.
Triggering Rising edge: Instantaneous and averaged alarms are activated as a value increases. Use this option for
detectors measuring combustible gases, CO, H 2S, etc.
Falling edge: Instantaneous and averaged alarms are activated as a value decreases. Use this option for
oxygen sensors, for example.
Table 13: General alarm settings for a detector.
25
■ Instantaneous: (Figure 25, ref. A) definition of the alarm threshold which would activate an
instantaneous alarm.
Setting Description
Threshold Corresponds to the value that would trigger an instantaneous alarm. Set the threshold by using one of the
two methods described below:
- directly, by using the cursor;
- by entering the numerical threshold value with a keyboard.
The unit of measure displayed to the right of this field is defined in the Detector tab.
Active If the box is unchecked: the instantaneous alarm is deactivated.
If the box is checked (see Figure 26, ref. B): the instantaneous alarm is activated. In this case, the alarm
bargraph will appear in the upper part of this tab (see Figure 26, ref. A. The value displayed indicates the
percentage of the alarm in relation to the total value of the range. The blue section corresponds to the
range which will not trigger an alarm; the red zone corresponds to the range which will activate the alarm.

where the box is not checked.
■ Averaged: (Figure 27, ref. B) definition of the alarm threshold that triggers an averaged alarm.
Setting Description
Threshold Corresponds to the value that would trigger an averaged alarm. Set the threshold by using one of the two
methods described below:
The unit of measure displayed to the right of this field is defined in the Detector tab.
Integration time Selection of the value (in minutes) of integration for the averaged alarm. Select this value by using one of
the two methods described below:
Active If the box is unchecked: the averaged alarm is not active.
If the box is checked (see Figure 27, ref. C): the averaged alarm is activated. In this case, the alarm bar
graph will appear in the upper part of this tab (see Figure 27, ref.A). The value displayed indicates the
percentage of the alarm in relation to the total value of the range. The blue section corresponds to the
range which will not trigger an alarm. The red zone corresponds to the range which will activate the alarm.

NOTE: the procedures described in Step 2 should be repeated, if necessary, for each of the other alarms
(AL 2, AL3, and AL4).
Step 3: “Out of Range and Fault” tab:

This tab, shown below, is used to define the "out of range," “verification,” and “fault” values .
A B
C D E
Figure 28: “Out of Range and Fault” tab.
Setting Description
Out of Range Use the keyboard to enter the value of the concentration of gas (Figure 28, ref. E), above which the value is
considered to be out of range. The unit of measure is the same as that defined for the detector on the
Detector tab (see Figure 21, on page 23).
An Out of Range alarm can activate an alarm, a relay, or a light. See IX, 0 and 0.
Note: only for the hydrogenated gas, methane, CNG, LPG version.
Verification If this box is checked (Figure 28, ref. C), verification will be activated for explosive gases. If a verification
alarm is active, the alarm will remain active until it is manually acknowledged, even if the level of gas has
fallen below the preset threshold.
Fault Use the keyboard to enter the value of the concentration of gas (Figure 28, ref. D) below which the
measurement is considered to be sent by a faulting detector. The unit of measure is the same as that defined
for the detector on the Detector tab.
A fault alarm activates either an alarm, a relay, or a light (see IX, 0 and 0).
Table 16: Out of Range alarm settings for a detector.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the procedures described in this paragraph should be repeated for each type of
detector that may be used in conjunction with the CPS central detection controller; these detectors will be
assigned to the central detection controller via the Installation Architecture tab (see page 28).

Numbering the Lines

The CPS central detection controller has 8 output lines, each being able to receive 32 modules
(detector, input or output, or relay).
To number a piece of equipment on a line, join the equipment number to the line number. So, if line
number 1 has a piece of equipment in location number 3, it will be referred to as 1 -3, as seen in
Figure 30. This “code” is easily identifiable on the upper part of the application’s display matrix (s ee
Figure 10: Matrix , on page 16).
Adding a sensor to a CPS line.
Follow the steps below to add a sensor to a CPS line:
1. Select the detector or the module (input, output, relay).
In the table (A), click on the line corresponding to the detector or the module (input, output, relay)
to be used. Once selected, the line will have a blue background.
Reminder: The detectors listed here were defined on the Configuring the Detectors tab (see
chapter 0, on page 22).
2. Select the line that will receive the equipment.
