Once in the RF Channel menu, increment it by pressing the NEXT
button. When selecting this value, do not choose an RF Channel
that is currently being used by other Honeywell Wireless Systems as
this can cause communication problems.

Baud Rate Selection

The RF Baud Rate refers to the speed at which the Base Radio and
Transmitters communicate. The RF baud rate for the Base Radio
and the Transmitter must be the same in order for successful
communication to occur. There are three selectable settings with the
fastest update times and ranges listed below:
•
4.8K - Rate of 4.8 Kbaud (Update every 20 seconds)
- Range of 3000ft (Line of Sight)
•
19.2K - Rate of 19.2 Kbaud (Update every 5 seconds)
- Range of 2000ft to 2500ft (Line of Sight)
•
76.8K - Rate of 76.8 Kbaud (Update every 1 second)
- Range of 500ft to 750ft (Line of Sight)
A faster RF Baud Rate allows the user to transmit more information
in a given period of time, but it will also limit the Transmitter's range.
If you need more distance out of your Transmitters or are
encountering difficulties by frequently losing communications, then
select a slower baud rate.
Follow the Base Radio menu map shown in Figure 5-2 to configure
the RF Baud Rate. The factory default is the 19.2K Baud Rate.

Note If you change the baud rate of a Transmitter, you must also
change the baud rate of the Base Radio and all other Transmitters
that are communicating with that Base Radio.
