The configuration menu is made up of 4 sub menus: Network ID, Modbus Slave number, Gateway and
Node. Select the appropriate sub menu by single clicking button 2.
Configuration: Network ID
. The network ID is a parameter used to define the sequence of RF
channel hops and used to create a unique network ID that will allow devices to communicate with each
other as a wireless network. A wireless network comprised of a gateway and nodes need to be programmed
using the same network ID. For co-locating multiple wireless networks within range of each other, choose
unique network IDs for each wireless network group. The default Network ID setting from the factory is
‘01’.
The network ID is set with the rotary switches. The rotary switches are defined as a 10’s switch and a
1’s switch. For example, if the 10’s switch is set to ‘6’ and the 1’s switch is set to ‘2’ the resulting value is
read as ‘62’.
From within the configuration menu, single click button 1 until the LCD display reads ‘NETID’ and
then single click button 2. The LCD will display the current value of the Network ID and the rotary switch
values. When the rotary switches are set correctly for the new Network ID, enter the new value by a single
click of button 2. The LCD will briefly display the new Network ID before exiting back to the Network ID
top menu.
If you change the network ID on one device, gateway or node, all devices intended for that
wireless network need to be changed to the same network ID.
Double click button 2 to put the device back into Run Mode.
