Functionality

The Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) is the centre point of the system and all communication in the system is with respect to the HHT. The operator can set up parameters for tests, perform the tests and configure other test settings from the HHT. Below are the explanations of various options and output screens one can use on the HHT.

Normal Test Modes:

Pre-Test:

A Pre-Test is required before the ‘Test A’ or ‘Test B’ can be performed. The Pre-Test has the function of sanity checking the link between the HHT and the SAT units. Also performing Pre-Test will configure the current test settings in SAT units. A test carried out without running a Pre-Test may NOT present valid results. Any change in the Configuration settings should be followed by a Pre-Test.

Test A / Test B:

Telegesis Range Finder tests are designed to evaluate the suitability of deployment of a Smart Energy device which is why they focus on the ZigBee Smart Energy recommended RF channels in the 2.4GHz spectrum. Tests A and B are performed on ZigBee SE channels 11, 14, 15 and 19 during Test-A, while the remaining of SE channels 20, 24 and 25 are tested in Test-B.

Although the Rangefinder is designed to assist with ZSE installations, the Continuous test and Energy scan can be used to analyse the entire ZigBee 2.4GHz spectrum.

At the start of each test-A/B, countdown is activated to give a chance for the operator to put the HHT in place of simulated test device such as electricity meter and move away from the meter housing if necessary. This timer is configurable in the Configuration Menu.

To perform tests A or B, navigate to the menu item on Menu Screen 1 using and keys and press button for the test start screen to appear. Continuous and

Figure 8: Test Start Screen

Once the countdown has elapsed, the test starts and the test results are displayed for each channel for the test as the test progresses. The completion of the test is indicated by a short beep from the built-in buzzer. The display backlight changes to Red for test failure and to Blue colour if the test is a pass. Also the failed values will be inverted. For details of the Pass/Fail criteria please see section “Interpreting Test Results”.
