Channel Number
This sets a unique address number into your transmitter. Later, when you set
up your measurement software you will again set channel numbers to receive
readings from the corresponding unit(s). Each unit must be set for a different
channel number for your system to operate correctly.
NOTE:
If you will be using more than one receiver unit in your area
it is important to set the transmitter address numbers to be a
corresponding number in your TC-Central software.
Example Rate
For the first receiver: Set the channels on your transmitters
to 101, 102, 103, 104, etc. Then set the channels in your
TC-Central user software to match.
For the second receiver: Set the channels on your transmitters
to 201, 202, 203, 204, etc.
Then set the channels in your TC-Central user software to
match.
This numbering scheme can be expanded to match the
number of receivers you are using.

When mounting your end device, care should be taken to make sure it is as far
away from any metal objects. If nearby metal gets too close to your unit, it has
the potential to interfere with the way the unit radiates and may cause signal
loss or possibly even the inability to communicate at all with your receiver.
5.2.2 Installation
When installing your End Device it is important to position your device in such
a way as to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the “Fresnel
Zone”.
The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between
two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your End Device and
your receiver.
RECEIVER
FRESNEL ZONE
END DEVICE
ANTENNA

Figure 5-11. Fresnel Zone
In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio
waves travel must be free of all obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially
metal) will decrease the communication range between your End Device and
receiver. Also, If the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground, over half

reduction in range. To avoid this problem, the antennas should be mounted high
enough off of the ground so that the earth does not interfere with the central
diameter of the Fresnel zone.
NOTE:
It is important to understand that the environment may
change over time due to new equipment or machinery being
installed, building construction, etc. If new obstacles exist
between your End Device and receiver, the devices can be
raised on one end or on both ends to hopefully clear the
Fresnel Zone of obstructions.
NOTE:
No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio device or the
device’s antenna is located within 20 cm of your connector/
transmitter and can transmit simultaneously with your unit.
NOTE:
Never install multiple End Devices within 20 cm or less from
each other.
NOTE:
Never use your End Device as a portable device. Your unit
has been designed to be operated in a permanent installation
only.
5.2.3 Antenna Connection
YourEndDevicehasbeenshippedtoyouwithastandardapprovedantenna.
NOTE:
Use of any other antenna then what’s supplied with your End
Device will void all FCC, IC and CE regulatory compliance.
In some cases, a short RF cable may be used to connect an antenna to your end
device. Please note that RF extension cables will always add some loss to the

over that cable. Because of this, the length of the cable should be kept as short as
possible.

Section 6 - System Operation
6.1 Introduction
Compared to wired systems, a wireless system provides much simpler
installation. Based on the physical principle of the propagation of radio
waves, certain basic conditions should be observed. The following simple
recommendations are provided to Insure proper installation and correct
operation of your wireless system.
6.2 RF Communication Basics
The Model UWPC-2-NEMA-M12 sends wireless transmissions to a receiver. The
receiver checks the incoming data for accuracy and processes this data for use by
the measurement software on your PC. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves,
hence the signal becomes weaker the further it travels. While radio waves can
penetrate some solid materials like a wall, they are dampened more than when a
direct line-of-sight between the transmitting and receiving antenna exist.
6.3 Basic System Overview
System Operation

A basic wireless PC system is comprised of only two main components; a signal
conditioner with a built-in battery powered 2.4 GHz radio transmitter, and a
USB powered 2.4 GHz radio receiver.

6.5 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life
Many factors such as ambient temperature conditions and transmitting rate
can have a large effect on the life of the battery used in your end device.
Transmitting data places a large demand on the battery in your unit. The
transmit rate is the single most contributing factor in the life of your battery. The
slower the transmit rate you set, the longer the battery in your device will last.
The table below give some estimates on how long the battery should last vs. the
transmit rate you selected when you setup your end device and under normal
operating conditions.
