FGRIO Master
(5) Sensor Power
(cont.)
•
The state of that sensor power will be mirrored at the IO Slave, powering the sensors
at the IO Slave on and off. It is necessary to change FGRIO Setup sub menu (A) to
“1” (Gated).
NOTE: The sensor power terminal both activates sensor power at the controlled
IO Slaves, and activates Analog Outputs at the FGRIO Master interface board,
when in Sensor Power “Gated” mode.
(
6) Link Alarms
•
Link Alarm 1 is an alarm reflecting loss of communication on any path. A wire is
run from the Link Alarm 1 screw terminal to the Link Alarm screw terminal on the
RTU.
•
Link Alarm 2 (CMD Alarm) indicates that a Digital Output or Sensor Power com-
mand was not carried out due to an over-current fault. A wire is run from the Link
Alarm 2 screw terminal to the Link Alarm screw terminal on the RTU.
NOTE: The terminal block of the FGRIO Master and Slave can accept a single
wire up to 16 gauge. Smaller wire is required for 2 wires, or wire + resistor into the
same screw terminal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
Can IO be used with a 1 watt radio?
A:
The FGRIO Master operates as a standard FGR 1 watt radio with a 60 mile line of sight
range. The FGRIO Slave functions as an FGR radio with a 2 mile line of sight range. The
FGR2-IO Slave functions as an FGR radio with a 60 mile line of sight.
Q:
Can the IO radios be repeated through our other radios to extend the range?
A:
From the IO Slave to the FGRIO Master, repeaters cannot be used. From the FGRIO
Master to the rest of the existing network, repeaters can be used as they already are in
existing FreeWave networks. The FGRIO Master will not function as a Slave/Repeater
Q:
Can the FGRIO Master operate as Slave/Repeater in the overall network?
A:
The FGRIO Master currently does not have the capability to operate as a Slave/Repeater. It
does function as the Master to the IO Slave, and as a Slave to the rest of the network.
