in some manner. The yellow LED will light if the 125 KHz signal is found to be correct. The red LED will light

when the Beacon and Tool correctly complete a communications cycle (both the 125 KHz and 2.4 GHz radios

have worked correctly). The Tool will then display the Beacon’s Address. If the radios are active, the Tool’s

display may be too dim to see. To correct this, press the Select key and the Tool will turn off the radios and turn

the display on for 5 seconds.

4.9.2 Bentley Mode

Figure 3 – Display in Bentley Mode, System A

Bentley mode is used to test the 433 MHZ radio that is used by a Beacon to communicate with the Bentley

Network. The Tool will only respond five times to Beacons in this mode then the Tool will automatically switch to

Beacon mode, this is done to prevent the Tool from flooding the network with extra messages. The dashboard

will have to be checked to verify that the Beacon’s message has worked its way through the Bentley Network

successfully. The dashboard is checked by using the “Search” function and searching for the Beacon’s address

or searching for a Badge address of 0A000001. If the radios are active, the Tool’s display may be too dim to see.

To correct this press the Select key and the Tool will turn off the radios and turn the display on for 5 seconds.

4.9.5 Peripheral Test Mode

The Peripheral Test Mode is used to test one of the two peripherals that can be attached to a Bed Beacon if they

are plugged into the peripheral connector. The Tool will display one of the two following screens indicating that

the peripheral named has passed the test. If the top line of the display remains blank, the peripheral has not

passed the test and has failed.

4.9.6 Badge Mode

Badge mode is used to check the operation of a PSS Badge. When the Select, key is pressed, the Tool will

communicate with a single Badge that is in range (only one Badge may be in range of the Tool during the test).

The Tool will then display the Badge’s address, battery level as a percentage, and the results of a

communications test of the Badge’s 125 KHz and 2.4 GHz radios. At the end of the communications test (this

can take up to four seconds) the Tool will flash a green LED if the Badge passed the communications test and a

red LED if the Badge failed the communications test. The minimum range between the Tool and Badge should

be at least 40 inches when the Badge passes the Tool’s test.
