IMPORTANT: Transmitters and receivers that arecommunicating with each other (including the RPT)must have a minimum distance of 3 feet between eachother. If there is less than a 3-foot distance, the trans-mitter may overpower the receiver, resulting in faultyoperation of the receiver.

The Kele RF System Monitoring (KRSM) monitorsany transmitter in a system, including Kele Frontierrepeaters. It also operates as an enhanced KeleFrontier Survey Tool receiver (RST-K) to monitor thefollowing:

• Throughput• Signal strength (SS)• Signal to noise (SN) levels• Battery condition of transmitters

Be sure to have the following close by before youbegin monitoring the Kele Frontier RF system:

• Kele Frontier Field Survey Tool Transmitter(RST-T)If you choose to use the RPT’s EnhancedSurvey Tool to monitor the Frontier Systemfunctions, you will need an RST-T Field SurveyTool Transmitter. To buy/borrow an RST-T, callKele.

• Programming SheetsProgramming sheets show how your Frontiertransmitters, receivers, and repeaters are pro-grammed. They include important information,such as facility codes, transmitter IDs, repeaterIDs, and transmission intervals. These sheetsare included in the shipment of your Frontierproducts. If you cannot locate your program-ming sheets, call Kele.

• DatasheetsDatasheets are included in the shipment ofyour Frontier transmitters, receivers, andrepeaters. You can also download them fromwww.kele.com.

No programming cables are required when operatingthe KRSM program.

To begin programming, you must first enter the facil-ity code of your Frontier system.

The facility code, in most cases, is a common identi-fication number used by all Frontier transmitters,receivers, and repeaters that communicate with eachother in a given application. All Frontier units within afacility use the same facility code number. The num-ber has either been assigned by Kele or by theinstaller of the Frontier system.

The facility code and transmitter ID are typically fac-tory programmed. A label is affixed to each Frontierunit to identify the Facility Code and Transmitter ID.See Appendix C as a guide to reading these labels

To enter the facility code:1. Select the KRSM icon from the main menu of the

PDA.

2. The facility code is displayed under “FacilityCode Setup.” Select “GO” to the left of “FacilityCode Setup.”

3. Enter the desired Facility Code.

Note: The arrow buttons on the PDA screen willonly change the selected digit.

4. Select “Main” to return to the main screen.

IMPORTANT: The facility code remains active inmemory until you change it using the procedureabove.

To operate the Enhanced Survey Tool Receiver, theRST-T transmitter of a standard Kele Frontier RST-KSurvey Tool must be available and working. TheEnhanced Survey Tool Receiver function on the RPTis used just like the standard survey tool receiver butdisplays information about the signal being receivedfrom the survey tool transmitter.

To operate the Enhanced Survey Tool Receiver:1. Make sure the RPT’s Mode Selector Switch is in

the middle position. The Monitor LED will light toindicate proper position.

2. From the KRSM main menu, select “GO” to theleft of “Survey Tool” for the Survey Tool Screen.

3. Select a value for “% Throughput” by tapping onthe current displayed value and selecting fromthe pop-up screen.

Note: Throughput is the probability (in a percentage)that the transmitted signal will be received by areceiver or repeater at any given time. The“Good Signal Indicator” under “Signal Analy-sis” will light on the PDA when the incomingsignal is at or higher than the Thresholdentered here. The Threshold defaults to 95%.This means that at least 95% of transmittedsignals must be received for the area beingsurveyed to light the Good Signal Indicator.This value can be changed to any value from90% up to 99%. It is not recommended to setthis value lower than 95%.

4. A signal-to-noise check can be added to qualify the signal. Enabling the box to the left of “Re-quired Signal/Noise>18 db” will require the sig-nals to have a mid-range Signal-To-Noise Ratio,in addition to the required Throughput. If en-abled, both the Required Signal/Noise and theThroughput must be satisfied before the GoodSignal Indicator will light.

Note: In some ways, the signal-to-noise check isredundant of the throughput. A high value ofthroughput has more importance than a high

5. Select “Receive.” An animated iconwill appear to show it’s receiving.

6. Place the RST-T at the location where the per-manent transmitter/repeater is to be located.Walk to the desired placement for the receiver. Atthe same time, monitor the “Enhanced SurveyTool Receiver” screen.

The current signal condition will display under“Signal Analysis.” The “Good Signal Indicator” willhighlight if the signal meets the “Throughput”percentage value and, if enabled, the “RequiredSignal/Noise” value above 18 db.

Values under “Signal Analysis” will be displayedas the signal is received. The Throughput, Signal(strength), and Signal/Noise will be filled in nomatter what values they are. Only the “GoodSignal Indicator” identifies if the signal is good(highlighted) or bad.

7. Select “Stop,” and then “Back” to return to themain KRSM menu.

CAUTION: All RF reception rates vary due to site con-ditions, the number of transmitters, and transmit times.Under normal conditions, Kele Frontier reception ratesvary from 95% to 99.9%. This fact precludes the useof RF products in time-critical control loop applica-tions. RF products should be considered only for mon-itoring and overriding non-critical applications. RF sys-tems are prohibited in life safety applications, hospi-tals, or other locations in which cell phones and two-way radios are prohibited.Archive
