Azoteq RS100 Overview v0.01 

May 2012 

6  Troubleshooting 

This  section  contains  some  guidelines  to  assist  with  problems  that  might  arise  while  operating  the 
RS100.

 

 

The GUI does not detect the RS100, but rather a CTxxx or DSxxx.   

o

  This means that the configuration tool has not detected the RF Add-On board.  

o

  Try to reset the configuration tool and check which device is now detected. 

o

  If the problem persists, disconnect the configuration tool from the USB and ensure that 

the  RF  Add-On  board  is  properly  connected  to  the  20  pin  connector.  (Check  the 
orientation of the Add-On board and make sure it is inserted fully into the connector.) 

o

  Re-connect  the  device  to  the  USB.  If  a  DSxxx  or  CTxxx  is  still  detected,  please  verify 

that the firmware on the configuration is the newest firmware available. 

o

  If  the  correct  firmware  is  installed  and  the  problem  persists,  contact  your  provider  for 

further assistance. 

 

The GUI detects the RS100, but an “RF Comms Time-out” message is displayed.  

o

  This indicates that the configuration tool has detected the RF Add-on board, but that the 

communication with the RS100 has failed. 

o

  First try to reset the conifguration tool and see if the message persists. 

o

  Next check the RS100: 

 

Ensure that the RS100 is ON and that the Red power LED is ON. 

 

Try to reset the RF Remote Module by sliding the switch back and forth. 

 

Lastly, try to reload the RS100 Firmware via USB. 

 

The  GUI  detects  the  RS100  without  any  “RF  Comms  Time-Out”,  but  errors  occur  when 
attempting to communicate with the ProxSense device. 

o

  Check the connection between the RS100 and the ProxSense Device. 

o

  If  the  problem  persists,  connect  the  ProxSense  device  directly  to  a  configuration  tool 

(CTxxx or DSxxx) to verify that the device is working properly. 

 

RF Address selection. 

o

  In  the  event  of  using  multiple  RS100  units  in  a  small  area  interference  may  occur 

between units. 

o

  A  small  DIP  switch  can  be  found  on  both  the  RS100  Remote  module  and  on  the  RF 

Add-on board. 

o

  This  is  used  to  determine  the  on-air  RF  address  at  which  communication  is  to  take 

place. 

o

  Ensure  that the  RS100  and the RF  Add-on board have the same  DIP  selection before 

attempting any communication. 

o

  This  allows  for  four  unique  RF  addresses;  if  more  is  required  please  contact  your 

provider.
