Selecting Send temperature value sends the temperature measured to the Home Manager.
You can select how many times (and how precise) the temperature should be measured and sent,
and whether it is to be sent according to a cycle time (adjustable by means of a slider control).
Gateway
The Gateway (RS232 interface or USB-RF-Configuration-Stick) is used to communicate between
the MRF program and all other xComfort devices.
RS232 Interface:
It features an RS232 jack connector and can be connected to the PC or laptop with any
conventional serial cable.
As the device is battery-supplied, it will work for an extended period of time (6 hours with
permanent operation) without any external power supply.
USB-RF-Configuration-Stick:
It can be connected to a PC or Laptop that has a standard USB connector (USB1.1, 2.0 or 3.0).
For normal operation there is no driver installation necessary. Only if the device software needs to
be updated a special driver is necessary. This driver comes with the actual MRF version and will
be prepared automatically. (See
Software Update for USB-RF-Sticks for further details).
We recommend changing the Power-Settings of the USB-Hubs for your PC or Laptop to prevent
unwanted connection issues when working with the USB-RF-Configuration-Stick..
