Product Manual 22 M3 Wireless Ultrasonic Level Sensor
13.5 Sensor List
After the M3 Software has completed searching for sensors, a
Sensor List menu will be displayed as show here. A sensor that
can be accessed will be indicated in the Avail box. If not
available but still in the gateway’s device list, then the sensor is
either asleep, powered off, or out of range. You can search for
sensors again when the sensor wakes up.
To view the sensor information details, click the Shown box and
the menus listed below will be available.
A sensor that became not available will appear as show. This
represents a situation where gateway has maintained the sensor in
it child table (poll timeout has not expired) and the sensor may be
asleep or out of range.
If the list is empty with the sensor associated to the gateway (Red
LED blinks every 2 seconds), verify that the gateway’s Zigbee
ACT LED blinks when you click Search for Sensors. If the
Zigbee LED does not blink, re-power the gateway and wait for at
least a minute for it to boot. The sensor will go to sleep when the
gateway is booting. Wait another minute for the sensor to wake
up or you may re-boot the sensor by removing battery, press the
sensor’s Commission pushbutton, and then replace the battery. Note that with the sensor’s Deep Sleep timer is set to the factory
default of zero, the sensor will sleep for 1 minute intervals if not associated with the gateway (to conserve battery power). When
the sensor finally associates with the gateway, click Search for Sensors.
13.6 Sensor Settings Tab
The sensor Settings and Info tab will display the sensor’s
ultrasonic operating settings. To edit them, click on the “Edit
Settings” button and the menu on the right will appear. The
following settings can be edited.
a) Sensor Description Field can be used for uniquely identifying
the sensor with up to 32 ASCII characters.
b) Data Collection Time Interval register sets the rate at which
the ultrasonic and associated data will be acquired automatically.
Setting it to zero disables this feature. You can manually acquire
data, see the Data tab menu.
c) Deep-Sleep Timer register sets the sleep rate putting the sensor
in a battery conserve mode by disabling the radio. Keep this
register set to zero when evaluating this sensor to prevent it from
going to sleep.
d) Awake Timer register sets length of the time the radio is awake after it has woken up from its deep sleep period.
e) Outgoing Message Mode register sets the operation for automatic sending of the range and status data when the radio wakes up
from deep sleep.
f) Outgoing Message Records register sets the amount of event records that are contained in a automated message. Default is 8.
g) Zigbee Failures Boot register is a number of consecutive awake periods where communications could not be established with
the gateway. If this limit is reached, the sensor will reboot which power cycles the XBee (in most cases reestablishing
communications).
h) Errors register stores the error codes when sensor has a fault. This can be cleared with the Clear Error button.
i) Sensitivity is used to adjust the ultrasonic detection levels for acquiring targets. Custom settings can be programmed.
To change any settings, enter a valid value and hit the Apply or OK button. Scrolling over to the label will indicate the register
limits in the text box to the right.
