Description
FreeWave radios use a Master Transmit Beacon to provide low current
consumption in the Slave radios.
l The Slaves turn their receiver off when no data is being passed.
l This setting allows the duty cycle of the Master Transmit Beacon to be
changed.
l A setting of 0 is the highest duty cycle and 9 is the lowest duty cycle.
If not frequently polling for data or installing new devices, lower the
duty cycle (i.e., set this field to 9).
4.4.14. Tx Frequency
Important!: In the Master, this setting must be the same as the Rx Frequency (on page 46) in the
Slaves.
Tx Frequency
Setting Description
Default Setting 435
Options
Any frequency between 435 and 470 MHz.
Note: See LRS455 Frequency Table (on page 100) for more information.

Description
The radios must be programmed to operate on the appropriate frequency.
l To program the radio for single-channel operation, enter the frequency, in
Megahertz, in the Rx Frequency and Tx Frequency fields.
l By default, the radio is set for single-channel operation.
l If the radios are to operate in Frequency Division Duplex, the Rx Frequency
and Tx Frequency fields have different frequencies assigned.
