95/TX Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0
Page 19
RF POWER
Systems that operate on 900 MHz offer adjustable power levels, from 10 mW up to 1.0 Watt. Unless there
are other GASMAX/TX monitors located in close proximity to the 95/TX, GDS Corp recommends setting
the power level to 1.0 Watt.
To select the power level, press “EDIT” to access the main menu, and then select “Communications” and
“TX Power”. Power levels in systems that utilize 2.4 GHz radios cannot be adjusted.
CHANNEL SETUP
The next step after the 95/TX is successfully integrated into the wireless network is to setup the total
number of active channels and enable individual channels assigned to each remote GASMAX/TX gas
monitor.
ACTIVE CHANNELS
Set the total number of channels (From “1” to “32”) that the 95/TX needs to monitor by selecting “Edit”
followed by “System Config” and then “Active Channels”. Press “EDIT” to modify the setting.
INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL SETUP
Once the total number of channels is set, activate each channel that will be associated with an individual
GASMAX/TX gas monitor. You will need to know the Remote ID of each GASMAX/TX monitor. Dual
channel devices will have two device ID settings; this will allow the 95/TX to individually monitor and
alarm on each channel separately.
For each monitored channel, the 95/TX can be programmed to “repeat”, or re-broadcast each received
gas data packet. This is useful if the 95/TX is located between the GASMAX/TX monitor and C2/TX
controller, or if the gas data packet needs to be repeated to other 95/TX alarm stations located in remote
areas.
To enable a specific channel and set the Device ID and Repeat Packet parameters, press “EDIT” followed
by “Channel Config”.
ALARM DEVICE SETUP
Once the network and channel parameters are set properly, program each relay to activate based on
alarm data from specific channels. For more information on relay setup, see the User Menu section on
relays.
To program each relay, press “EDIT”, followed by “System Config” and then select “Relay Config”.
