The Honeywell Wireless Base Radio is a reliable Radio Frequency (RF)
transceiver with a variety of available outputs, contained in an explosion
proof housing useable in many hazardous and hard-to-reach areas. The
time and expense of running wires often makes it difficult to measure pa-
rameters that have an economic impact on your plant operation, but the
Base Radio allows you to quickly and accurately monitor those devices at
fraction of the cost, giving you bigger and faster returns on your instru-
mentation investments.
The Base Radio communicates in a secure, digital protocol over a band of
frequencies from 902MHz to 928MHz. These devices require no wires,
permits or licenses, and are easily setup and installed right out of the box.
The Honeywell Wireless Base Radio may be used to communicate with
many Transmitters in various applications. You can use this device for
long-term monitoring in remote locations, for short-term data gathering on
process conditions, or to quickly test the economic viability of a new in-
stallation.
The purpose of this Guide is to help you install and maintain your Honey-
well Wireless Base Radio.
Remove the Packing List and check off the actual equipment received. If
you have any questions on your shipment, please call your Honeywell
Representative. Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container for any
signs of damage in transit. Especially take note of any evidence of rough
handling. Report any apparent damage immediately to the shipping agent.
Please note that sometimes units are assembled with accessories when
shipped. Inspect the shipment carefully if you think that something is
missing. This is rare, as we take considerable care to pack units for ship-
ment, but it does sometimes happen. Please give us a call and we may be
able to resolve this matter quickly over the phone.
Please note that the carrier will not honor any claims for damage unless
all shipping materials are saved for their examination. If damage is found
during examining and removal of the contents, save the packing material
and the carton.

version 1.56.126 or later must be used. If you believe you are experienc-
ing software compatibility issues please call Honeywell Technical Support
