• Integrated Radio and I/O Design The OleumTech® WIO® Radio Kit with Onboard I/O provides instant I/O connectivity and is one of the easiest and most cost-effective solutions for solving a vast number of point-to-point I/O and stranded asset monitoring and control challenges. The kit is comprised of Radio Modules A and B.
Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide SIGNAL CHAIN DIAGRAM A. Analog 4-20 mA Analog signals travel only in one direction from Radio A to Radio B. B. Digital/Discrete Programmable I/O (PIO) The direction of digital signals are programmable by channel, meaning they can travel in either direction based on DIP switch configuration: Radio A to B or Radio B to A.
Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide RF DIAGNOSTICS AND TRANSMISSION SPEED A. RF Diagnostics RF health can easily be diagnosed using the left LED located on the front panel. i. Be sure both antennas are installed properly and connected securely to the Radio Modules.
Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS Device must be reset or power-cycled after modifying any DIP switch settings. L'appareil doit être réinitialisé ou redémarré après avoir modifié les paramètres du commutateur DIP. DIP Switches 1 to 8 (left to right) A.

Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide C. Analog Output Fail Safe Modes Radio B only: Controlled by DIP Switches 4 and 5. When Radio communication is lost for 10 seconds or more, the Radio Module will automatically place the outputs to user-configured fail safe values. RADIO B Examples of fail safe configurations based on DIP switch positions.

Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide RF SETUP – BEST PRACTICES Perform a RF survey prior to installation. Use high quality antennas and low loss cables and fittings for achieving the best possible wireless performance. Having a clear line of sight between antennas (Fresnel zone) is ideal for achieving best RF signal quality.
Radio Kit with Onboard I/O – User Guide INSTALLATION A. Outdoor Installation Install or use existing NEMA-type enclosure. Be sure the WIO® System meets applicable grounding requirements in the enclosure. Install a 35 mm x 7.5 mm DIN rail inside the enclosure. Mount WIO Radio Module onto the DIN rail.
