Setting the MultiHop Radio (Slave) ID
On a MultiHop radio, use the rotary dials to set the device’s MultiHop Radio ID. By factory default, Modbus Slave IDs 01 through 10 are
reserved for slaves directly connected to the host (local I/O). Polling messages addressed to these devices are not relayed over the
wireless link.
Use Modbus Slave IDs 11 through 61 for MultiHop master, repeater, and slave radios. Up to 50 devices (local slaves and remote slaves)
may be used in this system.
With the left dial acting as the left digit and the right dial acting as the right digit, the MultiHop
Radio ID can be set from 01 through 61.
Binding MultiHop Radios to Form Networks
To create your MultiHop network, bind the repeater and slave radios to the designated master radio.
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other radios within the same network. The
MultiHop radio master automatically generates a unique binding code when the radio master enters binding mode. This code is then
transmitted to all radios within range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/slave is bound, the repeater/slave radio accepts data
only from the master to which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same
binding code.
For Q45 Wireless Sensors, refer to the Q45 datasheet for binding and Slave ID instructions. For MultiHop M-HE models, refer to the M-
HE datasheet to set the Slave ID before following the binding instructions.
Step 1. Apply power to all MultiHop radios and place the MultiHop radios configured as slaves or repeaters at least two meters away
from the master radio.
Step 2. On the MultiHop master radio, triple click button 2. For MultiHop master radios with only one button, triple click the button.
For the two LED/button models, both LEDs flash red and the LCD shows *BINDNG and *MASTER. For single LED/button models, the
LED flashes alternatively red and green.
Step 3. On the MultiHop repeater or slave radio, triple click button 2. For repeaters or slaves with only one button, triple click the button.
The child radio enters binding mode and searches for any Master radio in binding mode. While searching for the Master radio, the two
red LEDs flash alternately. When the child radio finds the Master radio and is bound, both red LEDs are solid for four seconds, then both
red LEDs flash simultaneously four times. For M-GAGE Nodes, both colors of the single LED are solid (looks orange), then flash. For
Q45 radios, both the green and red are solid, then flash. After the slave/repeater receives the binding code transmitted by the master, the
slave and repeater radios automatically exit binding mode.
Step 4. Set the Slave ID. On MultiHop radios with rotary dials, use both rotary dials to assign a decimal MultiHop Radio ID between 11
and 61. The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (1–6) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0–9) of the MultiHop Radio ID.
For MultiHop M-HE* models, see the Setting the Slave ID instructions.
