Network Configuration - United Electric Controls VANGUARD Installation And Operation Instruction Manual

2.8.2 Optional Remote Mount Kit for Antenna
User can move antenna to better
position should obstructions around
the transmitter location prevent
reliable access to the mesh network.
End users can either size their own
antenna based on calculations found
in our Annex, or use the optional UE
remote antenna kit (Part # 62169-67).
Included in the kit (Figure 31) are
a bracket with barrel N connector
[11], two u-bolts for mounting to a
2" pole, a single 25 ft antenna cable
with N connectors [12], and two coax
connection weather seal tapes (See
Annex A, page 7).
It is recommended to loop the cable
near the transmitter to allow water
to run off away from the fitting. The
sealant should be used on the barrel
connector after installation to ensure
no ingress and degradation of the
cable over time.

2.9 Network Configuration

A Network ID and Join Key are required to communicate
over the wireless network.
It is recommended that network configuration be
performed right after battery installation to maximize
battery life. The device must be configured to communicate
over the wireless network. A Network ID and Join Key are
required, and must match the Network ID and Join Key
of the wireless gateway and other wireless devices in the
network.
This device sends critical gas concentration information
reliably and securely via WirelessHART communication
protocol. Configuration can be completed using any
HART handheld communicator, or directly into the
control system using a HART modem. HART terminals
are located inside the intrinsically safe battery
compartment and are clearly marked (see Figure 32).
Configuring the gas detection device in the hazardous
area requires a suitable, approved intrinsically safe
device (such as a handheld communicator, etc.). The
entity parameters of the device being connected must
be compatible with those of the gas detection device.
