3.3 Create Configuration File (RXT-300 Only)
The Create Configuration File screen is available only for the RXT-300 configuration tool and can be selected
from its main configuration tool screen. It is used for building a system configuration accordingly. This
configuration can then be saved and loaded wirelessly to all RXT-300s specified in the configuration file.
The configuration settings include much of the same information needed when setting up a control system for
a gas detection system. This would include both sensor settings and alarm settings. The sensor settings include
parameters such as Modbus™ addresses, registers to be read that include the concentration, settings for alarm
thresholds and whether these are ascending or descending. System settings would be for alarms, how they are
associated with sensors and their properties such as Energized/De-Energized, Latching/Non Latching and
Silence-able/ Non Silence-able.
These configuration settings are needed at different stages of building a configuration using the RXT WCT.
Many parameters will default to values that can be used without change. Others will have to be determined by
the user and the specific application such as sensor types and alarm thresholds and, for each RXT-300, what
devices are attached and how are they configured. Most of this data will be entered in a top-down approach,
starting with system parameters, then RXT-300 parameters and finally the sensor parameters. The
configuration file screen consists of three main tabs required to build a system using this top-down approach:
Network/Zone(s)
RXT(s)
Device(s)
3.3.1 Network/Zone(s) Tab
The Network/Zone(s) tab is used to set up the RF Channel and Network ID for all radios in the system.
Network Sleep and Zones are also set up here.
