4. The Enter Starting Board Address menu
allows you to jump to Point 1 of the number
of the "board" you wish to look at. The four
board numbers reserved by this gateway are
shown in parenthesis on line 3 of the screen.
To view status of sensors on a "board," press
RIGHT ARROW, the number of the board
you wish to configure, DOWN ARROW,
and DOWN ARROW.
5. Point 1 of the board you selected in step 4
should be visible. This screen will display
the type of input this point is configured as,
and the last recorded value of the sensor.
Use the UP ARROW and DOWN
ARROW keys to scroll through all 64 "board
and point" addresses on the RF Gateway.
If a point’s value shows the message "NO
UPDATE," this means the RF Gateway has not
received a transmission from the RF Sensor for
at least several minutes. Refer to Appendix B for
troubleshooting information.
If a point’s value shows the message "NOT
CFG," this means the point you are viewing was
never configured or commissioned and is essen-
tially “empty.” If this point is supposed to be
commissioned, follow the instructions in Sec-
tion 6 to commission the point.
7.4.1. Viewing Update Counts
In addition to viewing the current values of
all RF sensors and inputs with the HHT, you
may also view how many sensor value updates
the RF Gateway has received for a sensor. This
will allow you to troubleshoot an RF Sensor by
analyzing its performance over a period of time.
To make the HHT show sensor value
updates, locate switch #5 on the RF Gateway dip
switch, and set this switch to the ON position
(Figure 7-3). The HHT will now show sensor
update counts instead of temperature or digital
input values on the status screens. Follow the
instructions given in Section 7.4., Viewing Sta-
tus Using the Hand-Held Terminal, to view
update counts for each sensor.
TIP: While viewing the status of points, if you wish
to switch to viewing points on a different board, press
F2 to navigate directly to the Enter Starting Board
screen.
