COMM

 (Communications)

bAUd R

 (Baud Rate): 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400

PARITY

: even, odd, none

 

STOPbT

 (Stop Bit): 1, 2

NOTE: all APG Modbus based sensors communicate using 9600 baud, no parity and 1 

stop bit. 

C TYPE

 (Communications Type):  

MASTER

: sets the MND to operate as the master device.  

SNIFER

 (Sniffer): sets the MND to passively monitor communications between 

a master device and one or more sensors. The master device must be actively polling 

the sensor(s) in order for the MND to update the reading(s).

     

LRSNIF

 (LOE/RST Sniffer): functions the same as Sniffer mode with addition of 

monitoring the readings from an LOE series or RST-5000 series Ethernet based sensor 

(acting as the master device).

SETUP

: sets the MND to act operate as a “slave” device in order to be 

programmed using the APG Modbus software.

  

NOTE: the Sensor Address parameter (see below) is used to set the MND’s own 

sensor address when operating in Setup mode.

SENAdR

 (Sensor Address): sets the address number of the sensor to be displayed 

when only one sensor is being monitored. The Sensor Address is also used to set the 

MND’s own address when operating in Setup mode. 

 

NOTE: in order to monitor readings from multiple sensors, the assigned sensor 

address numbers must begin at 1 and increment sequentially. For example, if 5 

sensors are to be monitored, the sensor addresses must be set to 1 thru 5.

NOTE: when displaying the readings from multiple sensors, the Sensor Address setting 

determines which sensor is controlling the output(s) of the MND.
