You will need to make decisions about the RGX GPS and noncritical data settings.
•
Determine if the unit will operate with its GPS on or off. When on, the unit can acquire its GPS
coordinates and send this location data to iNet. Importantly, the GPS data are used by iNet Now users
to identify the location of an RGX that has sent data from an in-alarm gas detector. Location data are
also useful for tracking units that will be transported among sites. If the unit's GPS will be on, determine
the interval (1 – 60 minutes) at which the unit will send its location data to iNet.
•
Determine the interval (minutes) at which the unit will send its noncritical data to iNet to support the
live-monitoring capabilities of iNet Now.
•
When setting intervals, consider the application. For example, while a longer interval for sending GPS
data uses less battery power, a shorter interval may be better suited if the RGX will be frequently
moved among sites.
Connections are generally maintained, when no interference is present, by keeping the equipment items
within their range guidelines (see Table 2.2 below). Provided the required LENS Wireless connections are
maintained, the live-monitoring of equipment items accommodates worker and equipment
movement.
