Figure 9 RXT(s) Tab
RXT Name Alphanumeric name for the corresponding RXT-300 in the system which can be set to a
meaningful name by the user. A maximum of 32 characters is allowed of which only the
first 15 characters will appear on an HMI Panel display.
Unique Device ID Uniquely identifies the RXT-300 using the serial number that is stamped on the metal
back plate of the RXT-300 itself. (Last 6 digits of the radio’s MAC address)
Modbus Address This is the Modbus™ address of the RXT-300 and auto-increments to the next address
starting at 161 each time an RXT-300 is added. It is used for such things as addressing
4-20mA sensors local to that RXT-300. This field is read only and not user configurable.
Priority Used in guiding the election of the Master RXT-300 and can have a value of 0-255.
Priority is incremented starting at 1 each time an RXT-300 is added. The RXT-300 with a
priority of 1 will be the first to be elected as a Master if it is powered on and working and
an RXT-300 with priority of 255 would be the last one elected as Master. If two or more
RXT-300s have equal priority, the one with the lowest serial number will be selected. If a
priority of 0 is assigned to an RXT-300 it will never try to become Master of the network.
Alarm Station Choose Alarm Station if the RXT-300 will function as an alarm station.
Battery Attached Choose Battery Attached if a battery is attached.
Low Battery Alarm This value is the low battery threshold that triggers an alarm. It represents the time
remaining before the battery is depleted and is set in number of Days/Hours/Minutes. If
the RXT-300 functions as an alarm, this value is represented as a percentage of the charge
remaining before the battery is depleted. The alarm will trigger when the battery charge
falls below the set value. The user should set the threshold based upon the amount of time
it would take to replace the battery.
Associated Zones This is a submenu that allows the user to select which Alarm Zones this RXT-300 will be
a part of. One or more Zones can be selected depending on how many Zones were
previously defined.
