Base Radios together on the same power and communications supplies. Proper
termination of the communications is also covered.
4 General Configuration
In this section the general configuration options such as password protecting, and
selecting a user password are discussed. Also covered is the importance of the Number
of Wireless Instruments (HI RFID) setting, as well as the configuring of this setting.
5 Configuring the RF Communications
This section covers the setup of the Base Radio RF Communications that allow the Base
Radio to communicate with Transmitters that have been placed in service.
6 Configuring the MODBUS Communications
This section covers the various Base Radio settings that must be configured for Modbus
communication such as baud rate, parity, device ID’s, and register mapping modes. Also
covered in this section is a brief discussion of the Modbus communications protocol and
Modbus commands that are used with this device.
Modbus register locations are also discussed within this section.
7 Technical Specifications
This section explains the technical specifications that are associated with this device,
such as power characteristics, accuracy, and operating characteristics.
1.2 About the Device
The Honeywell Base Radio is a reliable Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver with a variety
of available outputs contained in an explosion proof housing useable in many hazardous
and hard-to-reach areas. The time and expense of running wires often makes it difficult to
measure parameters that have an economic impact on your plant operation, but the Base
Radio allows you to quickly and accurately monitor those devices at a fraction of the cost,
giving you bigger and faster returns on your instrumentation investments.
The Base Radio communicates in a secure, frequency digital protocol over a band of
frequencies from 902 MHz to 928 MHz. These devices do not require permits or licenses
and are easily setup and installed right out of the box.
1
The Honeywell Base Radio may be used to communicate with many Transmitters in
various applications. You can use this device for long-term monitoring in remote
locations, for short-term data gathering on process conditions, or to quickly test the
economic viability of a new installation.
The purpose of this guide is to help you install, configure and maintain your Honeywell
Base Radio.
1.3 Unpacking
Remove the Packing List and check off the actual equipment received. If you have any
questions about your shipment, please call your Honeywell Representative. Upon receipt
of shipment, inspect the container for any signs of damage in transit. Especially take note
of any evidence of rough handling. Report any apparent damage immediately to the
shipping agent.
Please note that sometimes units are assembled with accessories when shipped. Inspect
the shipment carefully if you think that something is missing. This is rare, as we take
considerable care to pack units for shipment, but it does sometimes happen. Please give
us a call and we may be able to resolve this matter quickly over the phone.
Please note that the carrier will not honor any claims for damage unless all shipping
materials are saved for their examination. If you find any damage while you are
examining and removing the contents, save the packing material and the carton.
1.4 Software Compatibility
Software for Honeywell is revised periodically. Internal device software may contain
portions that are not compatible with previous versions of WMT (Wireless Management
Toolkit software)
To ensure software compatibility, WMT version 1.70.138 or later must be used. If you
believe you are experiencing software compatibility issues please call Honeywell
Technical Support at 800-423-9883 or email ACE@Honeywell.com.

2 Quick Start
This section summarizes what must be done in order to get the device installed,
configured and in operation quickly. Additional detailed information is found throughout
this guide. Steps 1-3 refer to the following diagram:
Figure 2-1 Overall Wiring Schematic
1. Wire 24VDC power to the Base Radio using the power terminals on either the
WMT or the Modbus connection. Do not apply power to both sets of terminals.
2. Wire WMT RS-485 communications to the left terminal of the Base Radio.
3. Wire Modbus RS-485 communications to the right terminal of the Base Radio.
4. Place the terminating resistor between terminals A and B if the Base Radio will
be used as an End Unit (See Section 3.2.7).
3
5. The Base Radio RF settings should be configured as follows:
Set the RF Channel to any available RF CHAN that matches the one used by
•
the Transmitters you wish to communicate with (other than RF OFF).
•
Set the Baud Rate to 76.8 K or to the Baud Rate used by the Transmitters
with which you wish to communicate.
•
HI RF ID = the highest transmitter RF ID you assign to this network.
6. Configure the Modbus settings
7. Verify “COMM OK” message on Base Radio LCD screen
If you are not receiving a “COMM OK” message on the Base Radio check the
following:
•
Is the Base Radio set to the above listed configurations?
•
Are all the Transmitters on?
•
Are the Transmitters set to the matching RF configurations (see Section 5 of
Transmitter and Base Radio User Manuals)?
•
Are the Base Radio and Transmitters unable to communicate due to obstructions or
distance (see Transmitter Manual: Transmitter Placement section)?
Warning! If the Transmitters have been running for an extended period of
time with no signal from the Base Radio (the Base Radio is off or not
present), the Transmitters will only search for the Base Radio every one
hour or so. Turning the Transmitters off and back on will cause them to
begin searching immediately.

3 Installation
This section discusses both the mechanical and electrical aspects of installation. It is
divided into the following sections:
3.1: Mechanical Installation
3.2: Electrical Installation
3.1 Mechanical Installation
In this section, the mechanical installation instructions are discussed for the various setup
capabilities of the Base Radio. The subsections are as follows:
3.1.1 Base Radio Positioning
The Honeywell Base Radio is a rugged device, which provides optimal performance
when installed with careful consideration. Installation practices greatly affect the life that
you can expect from your Honeywell Base Radio. The main considerations for installation
are covered below.
Give careful consideration to the environment where you will be installing the devices.
Avoid installations that expose the device to excess temperature, high vibration,
considerable shock, or exposure to dripping condensate or corrosive materials. Also
avoid installing the device in an unserviceable location.
Most often these problems can be avoided with some thought at the time of installation.
The practices noted below are generally recommended, but they can only act as
guidelines and cannot cover all possible variations.
The final installation must be made at the discretion and approval of the user. You must
be the judge of the actual installation.
Warning! During installation do not apply force to the instrument housing
or antenna. Use a proper wrench for all installations. Failure to use correct
installation procedures can cause damage to the Base Radio.
3.1.1 Base Radio Positioning
Correct positioning of the Base Radio will ensure the best performance of the device.
Because the Base Radio is the central communication device of all Transmitters that are
assigned to it, the Base Radio should be located in an area that is somewhat central to all
of the Transmitters.
Figure 3-1 is a picture of a general Base Radio layout. The maximum distance is
determined by a number of factors, including the Baud Rate Setting. When planning the
positioning of the Base Radio, try to place the Base Radio in a location with an
unobstructed view to the most Transmitters possible.
5
Figure 3-1 General Layout
Remember, the approximate line of sight range between a Transmitter and Base Radio is
determined by the Baud Rate as listed below:
76.8K -76.8 Kbaud, Range of 500 to 750 ft •
• • 19.2K - 19.2 Kbaud, Range of 2,000 to 2,500 ft
4.8K - 4.8 Kbaud, Range of 3,000 ft
Note This range is reduced by the amount of RF Noise present, obstructions, and the
material properties of those obstructions.
Only place the Base Radio in ambient operating temperatures of -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to
85°C).
Make sure you have power and communication to the Base Radio available (see 3.2
Electrical Installation).
Because there are so many setup possibilities we cannot cover them all. A correct setup
would make sure that the above warnings are heeded and that the Transmitter and Base
Radio are capable of communication. The RF Placement Procedure section of the
Transmitter Guide will help you to determine if you have a selected the correct installation
points and orientations for your application.
