described in step 4.
5.3. Service Pin Method
All RF Sensor models have a service pin
that, when pressed, will transmit its ID number.
The service pin can be used to commission the
sensor by commanding the RF Gateway to
receive the transmitted ID number and assign it
to a "board and point" input address.
This process will likely require two people:
one to set the RF Gateway up to receive the sen-
sor ID transmissions, and one on the sales floor
to press the service pins.
5.3.1. Setting up the RF Gateway to
Receive ID Transmissions
The RF Gateway board is designed to simu-
late four 16AI Analog Input boards, each of
which has sixteen inputs, for a total of 64 inputs
per gateway. To commission a sensor, you must
use the Hand-Held Terminal to associate the sen-
sor ID number with a "board and point" input ad-
dress on the gateway.
1. Plug the Hand-Held Terminal into the HHT
jack on the RF Gateway. The HHT should
power up and display the opening screen.
2. Press the DOWN ARROW key to display
the Options menu.
3. Press the RIGHT ARROW, 1, DOWN
ARROW, and DOWN ARROW to select
the "Set Sensor ID" option and navigate to
the ID Entry Method screen.
4. In the ID Entry Method screen, press
RIGHT ARROW, 2, DOWN ARROW,
and DOWN ARROW to select the "Service
Pin" method and navigate to the Enter Start-
ing Board Address menu.
5. The Enter Starting Board Address menu
allows you to jump to Point 1 of the number
of the "board" you wish to configure. The
four board numbers reserved by this gateway
are shown in parenthesis on line 3 of the
screen. To begin commissioning sensors on a
"board," press RIGHT ARROW, the num-
ber of the board you wish to configure,
DOWN ARROW, and DOWN ARROW.
6. The commissioning screen for Point 1 of the
board number you chose will be visible on
the screen. There are two configurable
parameters on this screen: TYPE, and ID.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key to move the
cursor to the TYPE field.
NOTE: For simplicity, it is recommended you com-
mission a sensor’s digital input value on the point im-
mediately after its temperature value. For example, if
Sensor A’s temperature value is commissioned as
Board 1, Point 1, commission its digital input value as
Board 1, Point 2.
WARNING! Make sure no one else on site is com-
missioning or activating sensors while you are commis-
sioning sensors. Otherwise, the RF Gateway may read
a service button transmission from the wrong RF Sen-
sor and commission improperly.
