RTD1Ohms, RTD2Ohms

 

Current Ohms readings, displayed in 0.001

Ω resolution.  A reading of 0Ω indicates the probe is not connected. 

 

RTD1Fault, RTD2Fault 

Identifies RTD wiring issues. “0” is good.  A reading of “1” indicates a problem. 
 

TimeStamp 

The date and time when the temperature readings are taken.  
 

Battery 

Displays voltage of the battery.  

 

PowerSource 

A special order variant is available that allows the RTD Input to be powered by inline or battery power.  A reading of “1” 
indicates battery power.  A reading of “0” indicates currently receiving inline power. 
 

OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS 

Name 

The Name or ID used to indicate the sensor model in the Controller.  A list of the current IDs is available at the 

EDS 

Environmental Sensor IDs section

.  

 

 
EUI 

The EUI, or Extended Unique Identifier, is a globally unique 64-bit number, represented by 16 hexadecimal digits. This 
number can be used by software to uniquely identify every MeshNet wireless device. 
 

ControllerRSSI 

This indicates the strength of the radio signal at the controller; higher numbers equate to stronger signals. Due to 
hardware limitations, the highest number that can be displayed is -34 dBm.  However, the actual signal strength may be 
much higher. 
 

DeviceRSSI 

This indicates the strength of the radio signal at the sensor. Due to hardware limitations, the highest number that can be 
displayed is -34 dBm, however the actual signal strength may be much higher. 
 

Address 

This is the address of the sensor, which was assigned by the controller. 
 

Repeater 

When the repeater joins the controller, it is assigned a repeater number, which is displayed here. A zero indicates there is 
no repeater in the communication path. 
 

Health 

This is a number ranging from 0 to 7; 0 is not connected and 7 is healthy. The number is incremented when a packet is 
received from the repeater and decremented when two packets are not received after a predetermined period of time. 
Numbers less than 7 other indicate a weak

3

 wireless link or other problem. 

 

Version 

This indicates the firmware version of the sensor. 
 

UserName 

The user programmable string used to identify any given Sensor; it may be up to 29 characters long. It is saved in non-
volatile memory so it is retained even when power is cycled. The string is best used as a human readable label, which can 
uniquely identify each MeshNet RTD Input.
