Sensor configuration

The Twin Spread and Remote sensors are supplied in sets, and

they MUST operate in these sets. The sets are:

• Twin Spread 1 uses two Remote sensors; Remote 1 and

Remote 3.

• Twin Spread 2 uses two Remote sensors; Remote 2 and

Remote 4.

When supplied from the manufacturer, all Twin Spread sensors

are set up as Twin Spread 1. You will now need to use Twin

Spread 2 as well, and your dealer (or yourself) must reconfigure

aTwinStread1sensorusingthePI Configurator application.

Communication channels and update rate

Each Twin Spread sensor will communicate on two channels,

one for each of the two distances the sensor measures. By

default, these communication channels are set to 02 and 07.

• Channel 02 on Twin Spread 1 is used to measure the

distance to Remote 1.

• Channel 07 on Twin Spread 1 is used to measure the

distance to Remote 3.

By default, both communication channels are set up with Fast

update rate. In order to increase the lifetime between each

sensor charging, you may consider changing to Normal update

rate.

When you reconfigure a Twin Spread 1 sensor to act as a Twin

Spread 2, you must also choose two additional communication

channels. You can choose any channels available on your

system.

In this description we will use channels 09 and 11 as follows:

• Channel 09 on Twin Spread 2 is used to measure the

distance to Remote 2.

• Channel 11 on Twin Spread 2 is used to measure the

distance to Remote 4.

If you wish to reconfigure the settings, your dealer (or yourself)

must use the PI Configurator application. Make sure that the

channels you choose are not used by any of your other sensors!
