RadioAdapter Pag. 6/12The RadioAdapter device can function as part of the network, as a PAN-C, as a NODE or a repeater.The RadioAdapter should therefore be configured accordingly when it is actually inserted into the network.The communication network consists of: - A RadioAdapter configured as PAN-C and connected to a monitoring system (Televis or Modbus) - A RadioKey device to identify and configure the network. - Up to 100 RadioAdapters serving as communication NODES for devices. Just one device or a sub-network of up to 240 devices can be connected to a node.2.1 - HOW TO INSTALL THE PAN-C2.1.1 - INITIALIZING THE PAN-CPower SupplyPower SupplyPower Supply- Connect the RadioAdapter to the power supply.- Set the switch on the RadioKey to position 0.- Connect the RadioAdapter to the RadioKey and wait for the YELLOW LED (P) (on the RadioKey) to switch on (GREEN LED (N) off).
