Abstract: A setting apparatus for a remote monitoring and control system, which is capable of setting relational data and addresses simultaneously, and is not easily lost. Included is a fixed part that is fixed to an installation surface, and a portable part detachably attached to the fixed part. When the portable part is retained at the fixed part, the portable part can be electrically connected to a signal line, and sets relational data for a transmission controller. When the portable part is separated from the fixed part, the portable part can set addresses corresponding to a switch and a load, with respect to an operation terminal and a control terminal, according to a signal, such as an infrared light transmitted from a light emitting element installed at the portable part. When the addresses are not being set, since the portable part can be retained at the fixed part, the portable part will not be easily lost although a dedicated storage receptacle is not provided.

Abstract: A setting apparatus for a remote monitoring and controlling system allows a decrease in the size of a portable unit. The setting apparatus includes a stationary unit fixed to an installation surface and a portable unit detachably attached to the stationary unit. A battery receiving portion for receiving a battery is protruded backwardly from the rear surface of the portable unit. By receiving the battery receiving portion of the portable unit in a reception concave portion of the stationary unit and engaging a coupling convex portion with a coupling concave portion of the battery receiving portion, the portable unit is detachably attached to the stationary unit. Since the coupling concave portion for coupling to the stationary unit is formed in the battery receiving portion of the portable unit, the portable unit has a decreased size, compared with a case when the portion coupled to the stationary unit is provided independent of the battery receiving portion.
