3.5 Pamasangan

The E95-DTU-400F20-485 is designed for guide rail installation. Securely mount the device onto a standard DIN rail in your control cabinet or enclosure.

3.6 Konfigurasi

Initial configuration of the radio station parameters (e.g., frequency, data rate, operating mode) is typically performed via a dedicated software tool provided by EBYTE. A USB to RS485 dongle may be required for this process. Ensure you use the correct software version, such as RF_Setting V3.7 or later, for proper parameter adjustment.

4. Parentah Operasi

Once properly set up and configured, the E95-DTU-400F20-485 operates as a transparent data transmission device.

4.1 Transparent Data Transmission

The radio station will automatically transmit data received via its RS485 interface wirelessly to a paired E95-DTU device, and vice-versa. Data is transmitted transparently, meaning the radio station does not modify the data content.

4.2 Modus Gawé

The device supports multiple working modes, which can be switched using the hidden 'Mode' button. Refer to the detailed product documentation or configuration software for specific mode functionalities and how to switch between them. This feature helps optimize performance for different application requirements.

4.3 Watchdog Functionality

The built-in watchdog feature monitors the device's operation. In the event of an abnormality or system freeze, the watchdog will automatically restart the radio station, allowing it to resume operation with its last saved parameter settings. This ensures continuous and reliable data transmission without manual intervention.
