Event Counter

To use the event counter, the measured (logic high) signal must be greater

than or equal to 25 ms. The 32-bit count is stored in I/O registers 5 and 6.

To zero out (clear) the event counter,

•

Map an input/button on a Gateway to Node register 14 to clear the

counter when the input/button is activated; or

•

From a host system, write a 1 (the output must transition from a zero

to a one to reset the counter) to Node register 14 or write a 5424

(0x1530) to Node control register 15.

RF firmware revision 5.3 or higher (on all products released after 3/20/2015) is

required to use this feature.

Bind the TL70 to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address

Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices.

1. Enter binding mode on the Gateway.

•

For housed models, triple-click button 2.

•

For board-level modules, triple-click the button.

•

For DXM models, under the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow button to highlight the Binding menu. Click ENTER.

On the board modules, the green/red LED flashes. On the housed models, both LEDs flash red.

2. Assign the TL70 a Node address using the Gateway's rotary dials or the DXM's arrow keys. Use the left rotary dial for the

left digit and the right rotary dial for the right digit. For example, to assign your TL70 to Node 01, set the left dial to 0 and

the right dial to 1.

Valid Node addresses are 01 through 47.

3. Remove any components to access the circuit board in the radio module of the TL70.

4. Enter binding mode on the TL70 by triple-clicking the button.

The bicolor LED flashes alternately while it searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the TL70 is bound, the LED is

red and green for four seconds (looks amber), then it flashes four times (looks amber). The TL70 automatically exits binding

mode, cycles power, and enters Run mode.

5. For DXM Gateways, click BACK to exit binding for that specific Node address.

6. Label the Node with the assigned address for future references.

This makes it easier to identify the physical Node location within a multi-Node network.

7. Reassemble the components back onto the base.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as many TL70 Wireless Communication Segments as are needed for your network.

9. After binding all TL70s, exit binding mode on the Gateway.

•

For housed models, double-click button 2.

•

For board-level modules, double-click the button.

•

For DXM models, click BACK until you return to the main menu.

LED Behavior for the Nodes

Nodes do not sample inputs until they are communicating with the Gateway. The radios and antennas must be a minimum distance

apart to function properly. Recommended minimum distances are:

900 MHz 150 mW and 250 mW radios: 6 feet

900 MHz 1 Watt radios: 15 feet

2.4 GHz 65 mW radios: 1 foot
