OPERATING CONFIGURATION
Model 130 series RF transceivers can be configured to operate as
either a Master Transceiver or as a Remote Communication Node
(RCN) And, the mesh network / repeater function can be turned on
or off (factory default is off). Because of the physical configuration
differences in the two models it is unlikely to be necessary to alter
the Master Transceiver / RCN configuration.
Two configuration property tables are accessible by the user. The
first property table sets Mode of Operation, The second sets the
mesh network / repeater function on or off. The configuration
tables that follow provide operational descriptions and factory
default settings. Selections are indicated through the FLASH-
COUNT of LED’s D1 and D2. (Refer to Figure 1 and 2 above.)
D2 repeatedly flashes 1 or 2 times to indicate the property table
that is active. D1 flashes 1 or 2 times to indicate the specific
operational ‘property’ selected.
(Refer to Figure 1 or 2 for button and LED locations)
PB3 (Configuration Setup) will switch the unit into and out of the
configuration mode. Holding PB3 down for approximately 3-
seconds will take you into the configuration area. To leave the
configuration area, simply press and release PB3. PB2 selects
configuration table 1 or 2, which is indicated by D2 FLASH-
COUNT.
PB1 selects the configuration property as indicated by D1 FLASH-
COUNT. Pressing PB3 to leave the configuration area will save
changes made. To review or change the configuration, refer to the
configuration tables below for descriptions and perform the
following:
1. Press and hold PB3 until LED indicator lamps D2 & D1 flash
alternately. (NOTE: At any time during the setup process PB3 can
be pressed again to return to normal operation.)
2. D2 will flash once indicating Table 1, Operating Mode
configuration, followed by D1 flashing 1 or 2 times indicating the
specific configuration in Table 1 that is currently active. (NOTE:
D2 and D1 will flash repeatedly to indicate the Table and the
configuration.) Pressing PB1 will advance the configuration option
by one. Press PB1 until the FLASH-COUNT corresponds to the
desired configuration. (Refer to Table 1.)
3. Press PB2 to advance to Table 2, Message Repeat
configuration. D2 will flash 2 times, followed by D1 flashing 1 or 2
times depending on how it is currently set. Press PB1 until the
FLASH-COUNT corresponds to the desired configuration.
4. Press PB3 to return to normal node operation, saving any
configuration changes you’ve just made.
