Warnings

The following general warnings are related to the safe setup, use, grounding, maintenance and repair of this equipment. Additional more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual where applicable.

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

• Ground equipment.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.

BATTERY SAFETY

The battery may leak, explode, cause burns, or cause an explosion if mishandled:

• You must use the battery type specified for use with the equipment.

• Sparking can occur when changing batteries. Only replace the battery in a non-hazardous location, away from flammable fluids or fumes.

• Handle and dispose of battery properly - do not short circuit, charge, force over discharge, disassemble, crush, penetrate, incinerate, or heat the battery to a temperature exceeding 185° F (85° C).

Overview

The Matrix RF Signal Tester is used to evaluate the Matrix RF signal quality for locating the Transceiver(s) in a new or existing Matrix facility.

The quality of Matrix RF signals can be affected by building characteristics such as building size and type of construction. Other RF devices located in the building or close by can also interfere with Matrix RF signals. The RF Signal Tester will assist you in positioning the Matrix Transceiver(s) in the best possible location.

The RF Signal Tester is battery powered and contains RF hardware identical to that used in Matrix Meters and Tank Level Monitors (TLMs).

The RF Signal Tester requires a Matrix Transceiver to function properly. The Transceiver must be posi-

tioned in the building as close as possible to the position of intended installation. The Transceiver must be powered up, but does not need to be connected to a PC.

If the facility already has a functioning Matrix system, the RF Signal Tester can utilize the existing Transceiver without interrupting or interfering with the Matrix system. A second “test” Transceiver can still be used, if desired, as long as its dip switch settings are not already in use by another Transceiver in the facility.
