Quick Start Guide
3.3.3 Configure update rate
The Update Rate is the frequency at which a new measurement is
transmitted over the wireless network. The default update rate is 1 minute.
This may be changed at commissioning, or at any time using AMS Wireless
Configurator or a handheld communicator. The update rate is user
selectable from 4 seconds to 60 minutes.
Procedure
1. Select Configure → Guided Setup → Wireless Setup.
2. Select Configure Update Rate, and follow the instructions.
Note
If the time between each update is too long, the high/low alerts may
be triggered too late.
3.3.4 Obtain the Network ID and join key
In order to communicate with the Wireless Gateway, and ultimately the host
system, the level detector must be configured to communicate on the
wireless network. This step is the wireless equivalent of connecting wires
from a level detector to the host system.
Procedure
• From the Wireless Gateway's integrated web interface, select Setup →
Network → Settings.
3.3.5 Enter network ID and join key
The level detector must be configured with the same Network ID and Join
Key as the Wireless Gateway in order to join the network. Use AMS Wireless
Configurator or a handheld communicator to enter the Network ID and Join
Key.
Procedure
1. Select Configure → Guided Setup → Wireless Setup.
2. Select Join Device to Network, and follow the instructions.
Postrequisites
If the level detector is not to be commissioned yet, remove the power
module and fasten the housing cover. This is to conserve power module life
and to ensure safe transportation of the level detector. The power module
should be inserted only when the device is ready to be commissioned.
