Chapter 1: Introduction
The HHCPC is a utility program that enables you to manage the Amber control panel from
a remote station. It runs on PC workstations with Microsoft
®
Windows XP.
It allows offline preparation of specifications, each of which is a set of parameters
especially tailored for a particular HHCPC installation site. After the user has prepared the
parameters for the site, they can be downloaded into the Amber control panel on the site.
Data is transferred to and from the HHCPC either locally through an RS-232 serial data
cable, as shown in figure 1-1, or remotely via telephone lines and a modem, as shown in
figure 1-2.
Local Data Transfer enables the operator to prepare the parameters for the Amber control
panel on a PC where the operator specifies parameters in the Site Screens, even though the
operator is working at the same installation site. The operator then transfers the data to the
control panel through a cable.

Remote Data Transfer enables the operator to work from a remote site where several
Amber systems can be controlled at different installation sites. Using the HHCPC, the
operator can compare the parameters of the different systems and copy them if necessary.
The data is then transferred to each HHCPC through a modem.

5686 or USR 5633 from US Robotics.
Note: For UL installations, the HHCPC and the Amber unit must be located in the same
room.
