IMPORTANT! BUMP TEST THE MONITOR
BEFORE EACH DAY’S USE
Prior to each day’s use, every gas detection monitor should be bump tested to confirm the response of all sensors
and activation of all alarms by exposing the monitor to a concentration of target gas that exceeds the low alarm set
point. A bump test is also recommended if the monitor has been subjected to physical impact, liquid immersion, an
Over Limit alarm event, or custody changes, or anytime the monitor’s performance is in doubt.
To ensure greatest accuracy and safety, only bump test and calibrate in a fresh air environment.
The monitor should be calibrated every time it does not pass a bump test, but no less frequently than every six
months, depending on use and exposure to gas and contamination, and its operational mode.
• Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation.
• Honeywell recommends using calibration gas cylinders containing the gas that is appropriate to the sensor you
are using, and in the correct concentration.

2 General Information
MeshGuard (FTD-2000) is a single toxic gas detector integrated with a wireless mesh network-enabled
transmission radio module. It can work as a fixed device or as a portable device. The detector has the option of
relaying the wireless signal to other MeshGuards as needed, to bypass obstacles. The MeshGuard’s built-in radio
board operates on a frequency of 2.4GHz and complies with IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The FTD-2000 works with the
FMC-2000 wireless controller on a flexible, robust wireless network to provide reliable, low-cost operation. It also
works in a ProRAE.net network with a PC, and it supports point-to-point and point-to-multi-point networks.

Operation
4 Operating The MeshGuard
Make sure the battery is installed before operating the MeshGuard. Refer to page 34 for information on battery
installation and replacement.
4.1 Turning The MeshGuard On
Hold down the [MODE] key and release it when the MeshGuard beeps. The monitor is now on, as indicated by the
display:
The MeshGuard performs a self-test, followed by warm-up and zero calibration. The display briefly shows the
firmware version (for example, “F1.0” means firmware version 1.0, “F2.0” means firmware version 2.0, etc.):
Then the MeshGuard initializes the wireless network and displays this information:
Note: If MeshGuard is unable to find a radio network to connect with, it searches, and the display alternates
between “rdo” and “Srh” (for “radio search”).
MeshGuard User’s Guide
12
Next, the display tells you that MeshGuard is initiating network communication:
Next, if a network is located, an antenna icon appears (if no network is found, then refer to “Join Mesh Network” on
page 27). The current gas concentration reading is also displayed:
Note: When adding a MeshGuard detector to a new network for the first time, it is recommended that you press
[Y/+] to manually initiate a search for the network.
The MeshGuard is now operational.
4.2 Turning The MeshGuard Off
Hold down the [MODE] key through the “5…4…3… 2… 1… oFF” sequence. The monitor is off when the display is
blank. Release the [MODE] key.
The MeshGuard is now off.
4.3 Low Battery Indicator & Action
The MeshGuard’s battery is designed for up to six months’ life in STD mode (in RTR mode, including the
MeshGuard Router’s normal operation, battery life is up to 10 days). When the battery gets low, the MeshGuard
beeps once per minute and an empty battery icon appears. It is recommended that the battery be changed
immediately, to minimize disruption.
When the battery is completely depleted, the LCD displays “OFF,” and the LED, buzzer and vibration alarm activate
once per second. The battery icon also blinks on and off. The MeshGuard shuts down after you press any key, or
shuts down automatically if you do not press a key for 60 seconds.
MeshGuard User’s Guide
13
4.4 Wireless Communication Indicator
When wireless communication is turned on, the LCD displays the wireless link status in the upper left corner:
If the MeshGuard finds and joins a wireless network, an antenna icon is shown in the display. If no link or a weak
link is established, no antenna icon is shown. Press [Y/+] to search for a network. (See “Join Mesh Network” on
page 27.)
A flashing antenna means the MeshGuard is in Router Mode (RTR), and the radio is always on.
5 Operation Modes
The MeshGuard can operate as a standard (STD) or a router-mode (RTR) device. In STD mode, the MeshGuard
transmits data to the host at a set interval (the default is 30 seconds) or anytime an alarm occurs. In RTR mode, the
MeshGuard receives data in real time, and it can also work as a router as needed to relay data from STD devices
back to the host.
Note: Operating the MeshGuard in RTR mode reduces battery life.
The interval can be changed in Programming Mode. See page 13 for details.
In addition, there is a Detection Mode for standard operation, Programming Mode for making changes to values
(such as the High Alarm, etc.), Diagnostic Mode (for servicing and checking the sensor, etc.), and Diagnostic
Programming Mode, which is for selecting between STD & RTR modes, etc.

5.1 Detection Mode
The MeshGuard can operate in fixed or portable mode. Whenever you start MeshGuard, it is automatically in fixed
Detection Mode, which is the default.
The MeshGuard displays the current reading:
Pressing [MODE] steps through the Detection Mode screens:
Press [MODE], and it displays the sensor type:
Press [MODE], and it alternates between EUI (Extended Unique Identifier) and its value:
Press [MODE], and it alternates between Pan and ID (Personal Area Network Identifier) and its value:
Press [MODE] to return to the detector reading:
