12.
How many I/O modules can be connected with the standard DataRail (6.1”) shipped with Radio Kit?
a.
Standard DataRail supports up to five (5) I/O modules in addition to one Radio module.
13.
How do I setup each I/O module once connected to the Radio module?
a.
Use a small flat screwdriver (technician’s screwdriver) and turn ID switch to select desired ID number.
b.
Be sure the matching module at the other Radio station is also assigned to the same device ID.
14.
Does the Radio module automatically detect new I/O modules when connected to DataRail?
a.
Yes, but only during hardware reset by power cycling the Radio module.
15.
What is the mini USB port on the Radio module used for?
a.
The mini USB port is designated to plug in a PC running WIO Software Tool for users wanting to take full
advantage of all the features the WIO System has to offer.
16.
What types of features are available with the WIO Advance User Interface (UI)?
a.
Perform RF strength test (RSSI), change RF channel, adjust RF power level to balance power consumption and
performance, change RF timeout interval, force local outputs, or set FailSafe settings for Analog outputs.
17.
Can the WIO® System be used in hazardous locations?
a.
Yes, the system can be used in Class 1, Division 2 or Zone 2 locations.
18.
Can Radio modules be reprogrammed?
a.
Radio Module firmware can be upgraded when updates become available via mini USB port.
b.
For security reasons, once two Radio modules are paired together from factory, they cannot be unpaired.
19.
Is the WIO System compatible with WirelessHART protocol?
a.
No, the WIO System is a proprietary RF protocol developed by OleumTech to provide superior reliability and ease
of use for the sake of replacing conduit and wires.
20.
In case of an emergency, how can I manually force the WIO System into FailSafe condition for managing
outputs (ESD)?
a.
Radio Module provides a discrete input for connecting a dry contact switch
b.
When dry contact is closed or active, Radio Module will instantly operate in the FailSafe mode.
c.
User can configure the Discrete Module by manipulating the FailSafe dip switches located directly on the device.
d.
Analog Modules defaults to last known value. The Advanced UI, the FailSafe output point can be set to any value.
21.
In the unlikely event my Radio Module gets damaged, can I just buy one module to replace into my system?
a.
No. Since the Radio Modules are a fixed pair system, a new pair of Radio Modules are needed for replacement.
22.
In the unlikely event one of my I/O Module gets damage, can I just buy one module to replace into my
system?
a.
Yes. You do not need to purchase it in pairs like the Radio Modules. I/O Modules are sold as singles and pairs to
fit your need.
23.
How can I obtain tech support or RMA?
a.
Please email us at [email protected] or give us a call to begin the service process. You will be guided
by our helpful customer service staff member to help you get through any issue you are having with the WIO
System.
