A. NETWORK ID: The unique Radio Frequency (RF)

assigned to components of the same operating system
in a specific facility. The unique NETWORK ID assigned
to the facility, prevents RF interference from other Matrix
Systems operating in the vicinity, at other locations.
There are 8 NETWORK ID’s available.

To setup a meter to receive the correct NETWORK ID
RF signal, use the UP or DOWN ARROWS to scroll, one
number at a time, through the NETWORK ID numbers
(1-8). When the correct NETWORK ID number assigned
to your facility is displayed in the field/box, press center
ENTER button on meter’s keypad to lock in the choice.

B. TRANS ID: The unique RF frequency assigned to a
specific transceiver in the operating system. Each
transceiver in the system has its own TRANS(ciever) ID
number assigned to it. An operating system can have
more than one transceiver. There are 8 TRANS ID’s
available.

To set up a meter to receive the correct TRANS ID RF
Signal, use the UP or DOWN ARROWS to scroll, one
number at a time, through the TRANS ID numbers (1-8).
When the number assigned to the transceiver you are
using displays in the field/box, press center ENTER
button on meter’s keypad to lock in the choice.

e. The meter resets and returns to it’s initial

screen.

NOTE: If the meter is not able to communicate with the
PC during registration, the message NO SIGNAL or NO
PC SIGNAL appears on the meter display.

NO SIGNAL message means:

• There is no RF signal between the PC and
Meter.

• The meter is out of the RF Signal range.

• The Transceiver does not have power.

• Either the NETWORK ID and/or TRANS­CEIVER ID information is not correct in the
meter and the correct information must be pro­vided.

NO PC SIGNAL message means:

• The Matrix Client isn’t running.

• The cable is not connected between the PC and
Transceiver.

f. After the information is programmed into the

electronic meter, the meter can be connected to

RF Test

An RF Test is performed before a Matrix System and
meters are installed at a site to evaluate the strength of
the RF signal and determine the number of Transceivers
that will be needed and where they should be installed
in the facility.

In order to perform this test, a test computer with the
Matrix PC software installed and a Transceiver are
located in the area of the shop that the installed
Transceiver will be located. The tester then uses a meter
to evaluate the strength of the RF Signal between the
Transceiver and meter at each potential meter location
throughout the shop.
