Safe Mode
Summary
The MaxiMet Safe Mode provides a means of recovering communication with the MaxiMet
whatever configuration setting may have been made. For instance if the unit has been set for SDI-
12 operation Safe Mode can be used to change the communication option back to RS232 or
RS422.
Safe Mode Method 1
Connection
Connect the MaxiMet for RS232 communication as detailed in Para 4.6.
Open Gill MetSet Software (see Para 6.2).
Click on Connect and Read. MetSet will scan COM port settings for a connected MaxiMet but as
the COMMS protocol is not matched will be unable initially to find the MaxiMet.
Now Click on the Safe Mode button.
Ensure the MaxiMet is wired for RS232 operation and power and Click on Next.
