1.5 MeasureMesh Operation

MeasureMesh is a wireless networking protocol used to send sensor related information between

wirelessly connected instruments. A prerequisite to use this functionality is that one instrument must be

configured as a master and one as a slave. This configuration can be performed at the manufacturing

facility or an accredited repair center. The link is setup automatically between a master and slave

instrument when the MeasureMesh icon is selected from the menu on both instruments. The link

will be active until one and/or both instruments are placed back on charge or the link is deactivated by

selecting the MeasureMesh icon again on one or both instruments. All transmission will cease

immediately when the link is deactivated via the MeasureMesh icon. While the link is active, the slave

instrument will only transmit when it receives a request from a master instrument. The master

instrument will send a request to the slave instrument at 1 second intervals while the link is active. The

range of the link is dependent on the physical area. The tested range is in excess of 10 meters. The

icon must be displayed in the bottom right corner of the LCDs of both instruments to indicate that the

link is active. Pressing the UP and ENT keys will select the remote reading screen. The screen

background will change to cyan and will then be displaying the readings of the linked or remote

instrument. The screen background will revert back to normal white after a 20 second timeout. Remote

reading mode can be selected as many times as required as long as the link is active.

MeasureMesh Application Synopsis 1: 20-minute gas check on continuous miner

Two instruments can be linked as per the above procedure. One instrument can be fitted to the boom

of the continuous miner with a special mounting bracket (sold separately, please consult with your

accredited distribution agent). The second instrument can be worn on the belt of the machine operator

in a leather carry pouch (sold separately, please consult with your accredited distribution agent). The

machine operator can hold the belt worn unit in his hand and enter remote viewing mode every 20

minutes.

This feature can also be enabled with the configuration software to indicate to the user that the 20

minute gas check needs to be done. This will enable him to view the methane reading of the

instrument mounted on the boom of the continuous miner. This will increase production, since the

machine will not have to be stopped and backed up to do the 20-minute gas check.

If the 20 minute warning timer is enabled and the user acknowledges the timeout the readings of the

20 minute gas check will be saved to the SD Card as an event record.
