8. In the Settings area (#5), change these settings:
Note: The Network settings are used to create separate networks using
multiple Gateways (that are in close proximity to one another).
Important!: The Radio Network and Radio Network Group settings
are selected by the user but MUST MATCH the existing Gateway
network for successful communication between the Gateway and
Endpoint.
a. In the Slave ID column / text box, enter the remote source Endpoint
Modbus Slave ID.
Note: Each remote device connected to the Gateway MUST have a
unique Modbus Slave ID (1-240).
Important!: Verify there are no duplicate Slave IDs in a given
network. The Gateway only caches one set of data for each Slave ID.
A duplicate is overwritten.
b. Click the Set button to save the information.
c. Optional: In the Node Name text box, enter a name for the Endpoint
using a maximum of 10 characters.
d. Click the Set button to save the information.
e. Click the Radio Mode list box arrow and select either Sleeping or Non-
Sleeping.
Caution: Do NOT use the Non-Sleeping option with the
WC30i-TZ because of rapid depletion of battery life.
f. Click the Set button to save the information.
g. Click the Radio Network list box arrow and select 0 (zero) to 7 for the
assigned number.
h. Click the Set button to save the information.
i. Click the Radio Network Group list box arrow and select 0 (zero) to 29
for the network group assigned number.
j. Click the Set button to save the information.
k. Click the Checkin Interval list box arrow and select how often the
Endpoint wakes up, reads the Modbus device, and transmits the register
data to the Gateway.
l. Click the Set button to save the information.
9. In the Units area (#6), change these settings:
a. Click the Volume Units list box arrow and select the unit the
accumulated volumes and flow rate are presented in.
b. Click the Set button to save the information.
c. Click the Timebase Units list box arrow to configure the units used for
the flow rates.
d. Click the Set button to save the information.
e. Click the K-Factor Units list box arrow and select the unit the flow meter
uses for its k-factor.
f. Click the Set button to save the information.
10. In the Parameters area (#8), change these settings:
a. In the K Factor text box, enter the amount of pulses for the connected
turbine flow meter.
b. Click the Set button to save the information.
c. Click the Contract Hour (hh:mm) spin box to control when the
accumulated Today’s Volume is moved to Yesterday’s Volume and
zero Today’s Volume.
Note: The contract hour is set in hh:mm in the 24-hour format.
Example: 2:30pm is entered as 14:30.
d. Click the Set button to save the information.
11. In the Clock Setting area (#9), change these settings:
a. Optional: Click the Read button to read the current time / date from the
WC30i-TZ.
b. Click the Set to PC button to synchronize the WC30i-TZ time to the
connected computer for the battery back-up real-time clock.
or
Click the Current Date and Time spin box to manually enter the date
and time of the WC30i-TZ for the battery back-up real-time clock.
c. Click the Set button to save the information.
12. In the Set Encryption Key area (#10), change these settings:
a. In the Key text box, enter the encryption key for the device using 6 to 16
characters.
b. Click the Set button to save the information.
Important!: A Key CANNOT contain spaces or angle brackets.
The Gateway and Endpoints only communicate if they are configured
with the same Key.
When setting up a new network, use this same encryption Key on all the
devices.
Note: When the WC30i-TZ drops its network, it attempts to join
networks using the same encryption Key.
Caution: It is possible to hide the encryption Key so it cannot be
read. This is the most secure option, but if the Key is forgotten,
there is no way to recover it.
The Key must be reset on every device on the network.
13. Optional: Click the Settings menu and select Set Encryption Key
Unrecoverable to permanently hide the key.
14. On the WC30i-TZ, press the Check-in button to send the current readings
to the Gateway.
15. Verify the Gateway is communicating with the Endpoints.
Note: A successful connection on the WAVECONTACT Endpoint is
indicated with Green blinking TX and ACT lights and a Red blinking
light for RX. If the connection is NOT successful, a Green blinking
TX light appears for 10 seconds.
FREEWAVE Recommends: Install and configure the WC45i Gateway
before any Endpoints to ensure the Endpoints have connectivity after
installation.
