Note regarding Wireless Device Configuration
In order to communicate with the 1420 Wireless Gateway, and ultimately the Information System, the transmitter
must be configured to communicate with the wireless network. This step is the wireless equivalent of connecting
wires from a transmitter to the information system.
Using a Field Communicator or AMS, enter the Network ID and Join Key so that they match the Network ID and
Join Key of the gateway and other devices in the network. The Network Join Key consists of four (4) blocks,
each with an eight digit code. The code of each block must match its corresponding block in the 1420 in order
for the 6081 to join the network.
If the Network ID and Join Key are not identical, the transmitter will not communicate with the network. The
Network ID and Join Key may be obtained from the 1420 Wireless Gateway on the
Setup>Network>Settings page on the web server.
The final device network configuration piece is the Update Rate. This by default is one (1) minute. This may be
changed at commissioning, or at any time via AMS or the 1420 Wireless Gateway’s web server. The Update
Rate should be between 1 second and 10 minutes.
When device configuration is completed, remove the power module and replace the rear cover of the transmitter
until the time of actual live installation in the process. Tighten the cover to the proper tension for safety
approvals.
