Quick Start Guide for -PB2 Point-to-Point Networks
Step 3: Bind the Node to the Gateway
Binding Nodes to their Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway
they are bound to. To create your network, bind the Nodes to the Gateway and assign them
a unique Node address.
1. On the Gateway, enter binding mode by triple-clicking the button.
2. On the Node, enter binding mode by triple-clicking the button.
3. On the Node, use both rotary dials to assign the Node address. Set the left dial to 0
and the right dial to 1. After the Node is bound, the LED flashes orange four times.
The Node automatically exits binding mode.
4. On the Gateway, single-click button the button to exit binding mode.
Step 4: Verify Radio Communication
To verify the Gateway and Nodes are communicating:
• Gateway's LED 1 is solid green.
• Until communication is established with the Gateway, the Node's red LED flashes.
• After communication is established, the Node's green LED flashes.
Step 5: Conduct a Site Survey
To test the radio signal strength between the Gateway and the Node, conduct a site survey.
1. On the Gateway, set the rotary dials to 00 to first turn the site survey off.
2. On the Gateway, set the rotary dials to the Node's address. In this example, set the rotary dials to 01.
3. The Gateway's amber LED blinks to indicate the signal strength.
The LED blinks faster to indicate a stronger signal. For the definition of the blink speed and how it corresponds to the signal strength,
refer to the -PB2 Gateway's datasheet.
4. To end the site survey, change the Gateway's rotary dials back to 00.
5. If there is no radio signal between the Gateway and Node, the LED turns a solid amber.
