11 Radio Function (MTR-125 RF only)
The build in radio module can operate in different modes, which can
be selected in the menu (see page 14):
OF:
Radio disabled (minimal power consumption)
MT:
Remote display application (act as SENSOR or DISPLAY)
GL:
Grade Laser control (use with compatible laser transmitters)
PC:
Transmit readings to a PC for monitoring applications
NOTE:
For using GL or PC mode, please refer to the operating
manuals of the laser transmitter or PC radio module. In PC mode,
METOR's memory function is disabled.
For any two devices to communicate, a pairing procedure has to be
performed once. The paring information is memorized for each radio
mode separately. Hence, the appropriate mode has to be set prior to
pairing.
Remote operation with two METOR-RF
Make sure both units are paired and radio mode MT is selected.
Turn on that METOR which is desired to be the SENSOR, first.
Mount it in such a way that the laser beam can be detected. Then
turn on the second METOR which is intended to be the REMOTE
DISPLAY: "RMT.D. - OK" will be displayed. Press ENTER to
operate this METOR as the REMOTE DISPLAY. Press any other
key to revert to standard operation.
During REMOTE DISPLAY operation, "RMT.D." is displayed.
The unit will remotely display the elevation readings of the
SENSOR, as long as the antenna symbol indicates that both
units are within radio range. The RMT.D. unit can remotely adjust
settings like accuracy and units of measure of the SENSOR.
