5 Configuring the RF Communications

In order for the Base Radio and the Transmitter to communicate they must be on the same RF Channel, and must be transmitting at the same Baud Rate. All Transmitters and Base Radios are set to RF OFF default configurations at the factory, and must be field configured for proper operation. The subsections are as follows:

5.1: RF Channel Selection

5.2: RF Baud Rate Selection

5.3: High RF ID Setting

Warning! If the Transmitters have been running for an extended period of time with no signal from the Base Radio (the Base Radio is off or not present), the Transmitters will only search for the Base Radio every one hour or so. Turning the Transmitters off and back on will cause them to begin searching immediately.

5.1RF Channel Selection

All Base Radios and Transmitters can be set to one of 16 different communication channels. The only Transmitters recognized by a particular Base Radio are the units that share the same RF Channel as that Base Radio. This allows the user to decide which Transmitters communicate with each Base Radio.

Each Base Radio comes from the factory set to the RF OFF channel. This means the Base Radio will not communicate with any Transmitters. To set the Base Radio for communication, first determine the channel that you wish to use. To determine which RF Channel to use, you should know if there are any other Base Radios in the same vicinity and then choose a different channel number. After deciding on the RF channel number, then follow the Base Radio menu map shown below in Figure 5-1to configure the RF Channel.

Figure 5-1 Menu Map to RF Channel Setting

Once you are in the RF Channel menu, you can increment it by pressing the NEXT button. When selecting the RF Channel, do not choose an RF Channel that is currently being used by other Honeywell Wireless Systems as this can cause communication problems.
