Setting apparatus for remote monitoring and controlling system

A setting apparatus for a remote monitoring and controlling systems comprising:

• an operation device having switches in which a specific address is set for each switch;
• a control device connected with loads in which a specific address is set for each load, and a transmission controller which transmits and receives a transmission signal between the operation device and the control device through a signal line to which the operation device and the control device are branched in manner of a time division multiple transmission, generates control data for controlling the loads based on monitoring data received from the operation device when the switches are operated, and transmits control data to the control device connected with the loads associated with the operated switches on the basis of predetermined relation data,
• wherein the setting apparatus is connected to the signal line, generates the relation data for controlling simultaneously a number of loads by operation of one switch, and sets the relation data by transmitting the relation data to the transmission controller,
• wherein the setting apparatus comprises a stationary unit fixed to an installation surface and a portable unit which is detachably attached to the stationary unit and can be carried by detaching the portable unit from the stationary unit,
• wherein the stationary unit includes a base having a receiving concave portion for receiving a part of the portable unit at least in the state that the portable unit is attached to the stationary unit and a fixing portion fixed to the installation surface, and a first connector for electrically connecting the portable unit to the signal line,
• wherein the portable unit includes an inputter for inputting addresses and the relation data by manual operation, a controller for generating the addresses and the relation data on the basis of the input to the inputter, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the addresses to the operation device and the control device as a radio signal under the control of the controller, a second connector electrically connected to the signal line through the first connector of the stationary unit in the state that the portable unit is attached to the stationary unit, a wired transmitter transmitting the relation data to the transmission controller through the first connector of the stationary unit, the second connector of the portable unit, and the signal line under the control of the controller, and a housing which receives a battery for supplying power to the respective portions of the portable unit and the controller and exposes the inputter at an exposing position in the state that it is fixed to the base of the stationary unit,
• wherein the housing includes a battery receiving portion for receiving the battery and an outer circumferential surface which has a size slightly smaller than the inner circumferential surface of the receiving concave portion formed at the base of the stationary unit to be received in the receiving concave portion in the state that the portable unit is attached to the stationary unit, and
• wherein a first coupling portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the receiving concave portion, a second coupling portion is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the battery receiving portion, and the housing of the portable unit is detachably attached to the base of the stationary unit by the coupling between the coupling portions.
