  • Page 62: Antenna Propagation Basics

    TROUBLESHOOTING Antenna Propagation Basics The propagation of radio waves in the TLS–RF Series 4 Wireless System is influenced by several factors: Antenna Operation The antenna is a transducer, which converts radio frequency (RF) electrical energy fed to it (via the transmission line) to an electromagnetic wave propagated into space.
  • Page 63: Antenna Polarization

    Scattering RF waves can reflect off of many things and the wavefront propagated from the antenna combines with reflected waves off of objects that are not in the direct path. This effect is usually described as multipath, fading, Rayleigh fading or wave dispersion. When RF waves combine they can be distorted. The distortion degrades the ability of the receiver to recover the encoded data.

    Transmitter and Device Troubleshooting Failure to Observe Correct LED Pattern There are three different ways that the Transmitter LED’s can fail to indicate the correct LED pattern that is described in the section “Establishing Communication with the Transmitter” on page 51. Bright Red LED (D8) Does Not Turn On This indicates that the Transmitter is unable to join the Gateway’s network.
  • Page 73: Transmitter Device Not Shown In Device Directory Screen

    Green LED (D7) Either Never Turns On or Stops Blinking Within 30 Seconds This indicates that power is interrupted to the Transmitter. Troubleshoot by performing the following steps: Verify that the Transmitter is wired correctly, according to the “Transmitter Cable Connections” section.
  • Page 74: Probe Out Alarm

    Replace the Transmitter antenna. Replace the Gateway antenna. If possible, move the Transmitter outside of the containment space, closer to the Gateway. If this step enables the Transmitter’s device to be viewed within the Device Directory screen, but then moving the Transmitter back to the installation location causes the device to go Out of Service according to the Device Directory’s State field, then identify either a new Transmitter or Gateway installation location that will provide more reliable wireless communication.
