Adding or Removing Motes
To add a mote to the RX Wireless Sensor Network:
Important:
Keep the mote near the RX3000 station
while completing these steps.
1.
If the LCD is blank on the RX3000 station, press any button
to wake it up.
2.
Press the Select button once (which shows the number of
smart sensors installed) and then press it again once if the
HOBO RXW Manager is installed in the left slot (module 1)
or twice if it is installed on the right slot (module 2).
3.
Press the Search button (the magnifying glass). The
magnifying glass icon will blink while the RX3000 is in search
mode.
4.
Open the mote door and install the batteries if you have not
already done so.
5.
Press the button on the mote for 3 seconds. The signal
strength icon will flash and then cycle.
6.
Watch the LCD on the mote.
The green LED blinks quickly while the mote searches for a
network to join and then blinks slowly while it completes
the network registration. Once the mote has finished
joining the network, the green LED turns off and the blue
LED then blinks indefinitely while the mote is part of the
network.
Note:
If the mote cannot find the network or has trouble
remaining connected during this process, make sure the
mote is in a vertical, upright position and within range of
the station.
7.
Repeat steps 4–6 for any additional motes to add.
8.
Press the Search button (the magnifying glass) on the
RX3000 station to stop searching for motes.
Measurements will be recorded at the logging interval specified
in HOBOlink, transmitted to the RX3000 station, and uploaded
to HOBOlink at the next connection interval (readout).
