Compatibility with Nano V1.x Commissioning Tool

The Nano V2.x Commissioning tool can accept Nano V1.x Commissioning Tool configuration file, howeveronce a V1.x a .prj file is opened in V2.x tool the file can only be saved as .mdb file.

When a V1.x file is configured using a V2.x tool then only the V1.x tool functions in the V2.x tool are applicable.An example of this is the Calendar function which is applicable for system configured for use in V2.x systemand not applicable for system configured for use in V1.x system.

Starting the Nano Commissioning Tool

You can start the Nano Commissioning tool by clicking on the Nano icon or by selecting the Nano tool from thewindows programs menu,ie Start -> Program -> Nano Commissioning Tool -> Nano Commissioning tool.

How to obtain a License for the tool

It is possible to use the commissioning tool ‘offline’, that is disconnected from the Nano panel, in order toprepare configuration data and run battery standby calculations without the need to license the tool. A license isrequired before attempting to connect the commissioning tool to the Nano panel in order to upload/downloadconfiguration data and/or control the panel.

To obtain a Nano Commissioning tool license you will need to get a Site Key from Technical Support to

activate the tool, follow steps 1 to 4.

� You can transfer the License from one computer to another using the 'TransferLicense Out' and 'Transfer License In' functions.
