WIRELESS SYSTEM SETUP CHECKLIST
Follow the sequence shown below to properly power-up a wireless gas detection system based on a single
C2/TX Wireless Site Manager, one or more GASMAX/TX Wireless Gas Monitors and one or more 95/TX
Wireless Alarm Stations.
STEP 1
Identify a central location for the C2/TX Wireless Site Manager. Install the C2/TX and remote
‘base station” antenna (if so equipped).
Install each GASMAX/TX Gas Monitor in a location where gas hazards may exist, and where the
antenna is visible from the base station antenna (if possible). Do NOT install next to sources of
RF interference such as high voltage power lines or mercury vapor lighting.
Install each 95/TX Wireless Alarm Station / Repeater in a location where alarm indication is
needed, and where the antenna is visible from the base station antenna (if possible). Do NOT
install next to sources of RF interference such as high voltage power lines or mercury vapor
lighting.
STEP 2
Apply power to the C2/TX Wireless System Manager
Select the desired network identifier (“A” through “Z”) and Select RF Mode = “Server”
If using 900 MHz radios, set the desired transmit power output. One watt is recommended.
Enable the desired number of wireless channels
Program relays / warning devices associated with each channel.
STEP 3
Apply power to each 95/TX Alarm Station
Select the network identifier (“A” through “Z”) to match the ID programmed into the C2/TX
Select RF Mode = “Client”
Enable the desired number of wireless channels
Program repeater function for desired channels
Verify “Server In Range”
Program relays / warning devices associated with each channel.
STEP 4
Turn on each GASMAX/TX gas monitor by holding a magnet over UP/ON key for several seconds
Select the network identifier (“A” through “Z”) to match the ID programmed into the C2/TX
Configure the RTU # (device ID) for a unique value
Program channel tag name (visible on C2/TX and 95/TX
Hold a magnet over the UP key to force a gas packet transmission
STEP 5
Confirm reception of wireless transmissions and valid gas detector readings on the C2/TX
Confirm reception of wireless transmissions on each 95/TX alarm station
STEP 6
Perform end-to-end test (apply gas, confirm alarms) using calibration or test gas
