Baud Rate and Parity—The baud rate (bits per second) is the data transmission rate between the device and whatever it is physically wired to. Set
the parity to match the parity of the device you are wired to.
Disable Serial—Disable an unused local serial connection to reduce the power consumption of a data radio powered from the solar assembly or from
batteries. All radio communications remain operational.
Receiver Slots—The number of receiver slots indicates the number of times out of 128 slots/frames the radio can transmit to its parent radio. Setting
a slave’s receiver slots to four reduces the total power consumption by establishing that the slave can only transmit to its parent four times per 128
slots.
Transmit Power Levels/Frame Size—The 900 MHz data radios can be operated at 1 watt (30 dBm) or 0.250 watt (24 dBm). For most models, the
default transmit power is 1 watt. For 2.4 GHz radios, the transmit power is fixed at 0.065 watt (18 dBm) and DIP switch 5 is used to set the frame
timing. The default position (OFF) sets the frame timing to 60 milliseconds. To increase throughput, set the frame timing to 40 milliseconds. Note that
increasing the throughput decreases the battery life.

Set the Slave ID on a 1-Wire Serial Sensor
To begin configuring the sensors, each sensor must have a Modbus Sensor ID assigned to it. To assign sensor IDs use either the menu system or
the configuration software.
To assign the IDs using the configuration software, download the Sensor Configuration Software (p/n
) and use the BWA-USB1WIRE-001
cable accessory for the VT1 sensor. Follow the instructions in the Sensor Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
Sensor Modbus ID.
To use the radio's menu system, follow these steps:
1. Power on the MultiHop radio and only connect one sensor at a time.
2. Push button 1 (left) until *DVCFG appears, then click button 2 (right).
3. Push button 1 until -S ADR appears and click button 2.
4. Push button 1 and wait for the radio to read the current sensor ID.
A three-digit value appears with the current sensor ID with a blinking cursor.
