the kit) from Port 2B on the E-Link Gateway to J2 Figure 1: OptiView Micro Panel Connected to
on the OptiView Micro Panel. Ensure that wires are E-Link Gateway
connected according to Table 3.
3. Check for stray wire strands, which could cause
short circuits, and ensure all components are
secure.
4. Connect the BAS network to Port 1 (if the protocols
are transported by RS-485) or Port 4 (if the BAS
network is LONWORKS).
Note: For RS-485 2-wire operation, connect a 100
ohm 1 W resistor between COM and the E-Link
Gateways TB5 COM (see Figure 24).
5. Ensure jumper JP27 is set for RS-232 (see
Figure 20).
6. Connect the power harness (included with the kit)
from J2 on the E-Link Gateway to J21 on the

The E-Link Gateway is now ready to be configured
using Quick Start; see the Commissioning a Standard

1. A Quick Start that references a Solid State Starter (SSS) is also applicable to a mechanical starter.
2. Two sections are required for equipment equipped with three or more compressors, or two systems.
1. When making edits to User Report 4 (Port Configuration), Group Application Switch B must be set to zero. This setting
ensures that the edits are stored. Otherwise, the edits are overwritten to the default values assigned to the particular Group
Switch B setting the next time E-Link is reset, or power is cycled. Edits made in any other User Reports do not require
alterations to either bank of Group Application switches. For standard set-up, not requiring modifications via User Report 4,
use application switch B, settings 1 to 14.
2. The Terminal setting on Port 4 is restricted for factory use only.
To comply with the LONMARK specification, all data transmitted on the LONWORKS network must be expressed in SI units
(metric units). The LONWORKS ProtoCessor performs no unit conversions; it assumes that the data supplied is already
correctly expressed.
3. Use Quick Start 9 and 11 if the equipment is supplying the data in SI units (the E-Link is not required to perform any
conversions, so it operates in pass-through mode).
4. Use Quick Start 10 and 12 if the equipment is supplying the data in Imperial units and the E-Link is required to convert these
units into SI.
5. Setting Switch T = ON, on the MAC address, forces TERMINAL mode of Port 3, at 57,600 baud, N, 8, 1. This setting is only
required to debug the E-Link Gateways operation, or access the User Reports.
6. Select Quick Starts 9 and 10 when connecting the E-Link Gateway to an ECO2 unit.
7. Quick Starts 15 on APP Group B, and 63 on APP Group A, are reserved for field adjustments.
