Radionode Tips: Understanding Instant Alarms

CLEVELAND - Nov. 19, 2024 - PRLog -- Key Insights on Sensors, Communication, and Factory Operations

Understanding Radionodes requires knowledge of sensor functions, communication methods, cloud technology, and industrial scenarios, which can be complex. As part of my special group, I will continue to provide helpful information to ensure your sufficient understanding of Radionodes and their various functions.

In this month's RADIONODE TIPS will cover the instant alarm notification feature supported by the RN17X series and the RN400-T2EX, H2EX products.

Radionode Alarm Instant Sending Function

Some Radionode365 devices dispatch alarms based on their transmission interval, but certain products, like the RN17X series and RN400-T2EX, RN400-H2EX, can send instant alarms when abnormal data is detected, allowing for faster and more efficient responses.

How to Set Up the RN17X Series

1. Connect the RN17X device to your PC using a USB cable.
2. Open the Radionode Terminal software, and once the green appears, type "Radionode114" to begin the setup.
(Download Radionode Terminal)
3. When the menu list appears, press the number key 3 and Enter to access the Buzzer/Siren Setup.
4. In the Buzzer/Siren Setup menu, use Menu A to select the channel you want to enable instant alarms. To set an alarm only on Channel 1, press 1 to assign the alarm to CH.1.
5. Use Menus B, C, D, and E in the Buzzer/Siren Setup menu to define the normal range for each sensor from Channel 1 to Channel 4 connected to the RN17X device.
6. To set the normal range for Channel 1, press the B key and Enter.
7. A prompt will appear to enter the minimum and maximum values for the channel's normal range. To set the range from -8°C to 25°C, type -8, 25 and press Enter.
8. You will see that the normal range for Channel 1 has been successfully set to -8°C to 25°C.
9. Press Q to exit the setup.

How to Set Up the RN400 Series

1. Enter AP mode on the RN400-T2EX or RN400-H2EX.

3. In the Dry Contact (Relay and Buzzer Setting) menu at the bottom, set the target channel and normal range for which you want instant alarm notifications.
4. Activate the "BUZZER SOUND ON" option in the Relay & Buzzer menu.
5. Press the REBOOT button to exit AP mode settings.
