CHANNEL CONFIGURATION MENU
The Channel Configuration menu contains settings that are unique to each channel. There are two
channels and each menu contains identical entries.
Figure 7-2: Channel Configuration Menu
SELECT CHANNEL
–
Use the EDIT key to select the channel to configure.
NOTE:
WHEN EDITING CHANNEL INFORMATION, MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE CORRECT CHANNEL MENU
BEFORE MAKING CHANGES.
CHANNEL ACTIVE
– Set for YES if this channel is to be used to monitor a remote gas detector.
REMOTE ID
– Set to match the Remote ID of the specific GASMAX/TX gas monitor associate with this
channel.
NOTE:
ALTHOUGH NOT REQUIRED, GDS CORP RECOMMENDS MAINTAINING A 1:1 RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE GASMAX/TX DEVICE ID AND 95/TX CHANNEL SELECTION. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE
GASMAX / TX DEVICE ID IS 5, THEN ASSIGN THAT GASMAX/TX TO CHANNEL 5 ON THE 95/TX, EVEN IF
CHANNELS 2, 3 AND 4 ARE NOT USED.
REPEAT PACKET –
Set for YES if the 95/TX should rebroadcast (“repeat”) the data packet received from
the assigned GASMAX/TX gas monitor. This is useful if the GASMAX/TX is located farther away from the
main controller. Default is “NO” and must be enabled if the repeat function is desired.
A “Comm Error Timeline” is shown in the bottom of the screen that indicates time since the last received
transmission for this channel. Each time a gas data packet is received, the upper arrow indicator is moved
to the far left, and then slowly moves to the right. If the arrow reaches the far right hand side of the
screen, a Comm Error is generated for this channel.
