RF LINK TEST
The RF Link Test is a diagnostics tool which allows the user to cause the GASMAX/TX to
transmit simulated readings of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of scale without actually applying gas.
Checking the check box associated with each alarm setting can also be used to force the transmission of a
data packet with the corresponding alarm bit set. Select the value or alarm condition and select the
TRANSMIT PACKET command to perform the function.
DEVICE SETUP MENU
The Device Setup menu contains settings that are unique to the detector itself.
Figure 11-9: Radio Setup Menu (2.4 GHz)
The RF Link Setup menu is used to configure the radio modem in the GASMAX/TX. There are two similar
menus, one for 900 MHz radios and another for 2.4 GHz radios.
NETWORK ID
may be set from “A” through “Z” and assigns the pseudo-random radio frequency hopping
pattern and system identifier. A transmitter will not go In Range of or communicate with another
transmitter operating with a different Network Identifier. Different Network Identifiers can be used to
prevent radios in one network from listening to transmissions of another. Installations having more than
one Server network should also have different Network Identifiers for each network
