3.1 Setup and Configuration

3.1.1 Connecting Your Device

Connect the USB cable to your transmitter unit and also to an available USB port

on your computer. See figure below. The USB cable is provided in the box with

your receiver unit. The same cable is used for programming your transmitter

and for connecting your receiver.

Figure 3-1. Connecting Your Device

3.1.2 Configure Your End Device

Now that you have connected your USB cable to your PC and transmitter you

will complete the following steps to configure your End Device before placing

the unit into operation. You will be using the configuration software utility that

you installed onto your PC when you set up your receiver. If you have not

installed the configuration software utility you should do so now. During this

procedure you will be setting the following parameters in your transmitter.

Transmitter Options:

Connector Address

This sets a unique address number into your transmitter. Later, when you set up

your measurement software you will again set channel numbers to receive

readings from the corresponding unit(s). Each end device must be given a

different address for your system to operate correctly.

If you will be using more than one receiver unit in your area it is important to set

the transmitter address numbers to be a corresponding number in your TC-

Central software.

Example

For the first receiver: Set the addresses on your transmitters to 101, 102, 103,

104, etc. Then set the channels in your TC-Central user software to match.

For the second receiver: Set the addresses on your transmitters to 201, 202, 203,

204, etc. Then set the channels in your TC-Central user software to match. This

numbering scheme can be expanded to match the number of receivers you are

using.

Sample Rate

This will program your End Device to transmit 1 data reading to your receiver at

a specified time interval. Available settings are 2, 3, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90

seconds
