GE MDS DS-MESH2400 User Manual

PRELIMINARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The GE MDS WiYZ platform allows the connection of process sen­sors to a wireless network. Wirelessly networked sensors allow
monitoring and control of equipment and processes without the
infrastructure requirements of a hard-wired system. The WiYZ plat­form’s IP65 Outdoor Rating allows installation of the gateway and
remotes outdoors, if required.

In addition
Manual (05-4954A01) provides helpful guidance on WiYZ systems
and menus. Also refer to the MDS WiYZ Gateway Quick Start
Guide (05-4888A01). Electronic copies of all user documents and
data sheets are available free of charge at www.GEmds.com.

1.1 WiYZ Remote

The WiYZ Remote is an industrial wireless solution for monitoring
signals from directly connected sensors and other signaling
devices. It provides robust, versatile communications even in
harsh environments and at sites with limited power and communi­cation facilities.

The unit’s self-contained design allows for quick installation and
deployment without the nee

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

If trouble occurs, verify that the unit meets the basic requirements
listed below. These items should be checked prior to starting any
detailed troubleshooting, or calling for factory assistance. All instal­lations must have:

• Adequate and stable primary power

• Secure cable connections

• Proper setup of the associated WiYZ Gateway (menu set­tings, correct cable wiring, proper data format, timing, etc.).

FCC Part 15 Notice

This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip­ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to correct the
interference at their own expense.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received; including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure Notice

The equipment described in this guide emits radio frequency energy. Although
the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may
pose a health hazard. To comply with rf exposure requirements the antenna

must be installed to ensure a minimum separation distance of 20cm from persons

and may not be collocated or operated with other transmitting devices.

This guide is intended for use by a professional installer.

Only approved antennas may be used on the unit's RF output connectors,
as listed below. The use of non-approved antennas may result in a viola-

tion of FCC rules, and subject the user to FCC enforcement action.
