User Service Common Problem Analysis If you encounter some technical problems, refer to Section eRadio FAQ in this manual. This part describes the phenomena, causes and solutions of some common problems. Record Information If the technical problems you encounter are not recorded in the manual, make a record of the operating environment, use procedure, problem phenomenon before and after device abnormality, as well as information such as product model, product hardware version and firmware version.
1 Introduction As a type of external transmitting-receiving data radio, eRadio supports many options of transmitting power, with waterproofing grade up to IP67 and sturdy and durable structure, applicable for outdoor use under all weather conditions.
1.1 Product Features Main features of eRadio: Full-band support, with the frequency point range of 410MHz -470MHz Many options of transmitting power Self-adaptive function of serial port baud rate OLED display 5 user buttons One-way RS232 interface Bluetooth module 3G/4G module 3 bi-color status indicator lights IP67 protection Note: Optional component. 1.
2 Interface and Component 2.1 Interface of Serial Port Data Cable The interface of serial port data cable uses the asynchronous serial communication RS232 standard. Figure 2 Diagram of eRadio Data Interface Table 33 eRadio Data Interface Definition Pin Name Description Remarks 1 VCC Power output DC9-16V 2 GND1 Power Ground 3 RXD Serial port data receiving 4 GND2 Signal Ground 5 TXD Serial port data transmitting RS232 Level RS232 Level 2.
2.4 Bluetooth Module If the current radio supports Bluetooth, users can configure and query the radio parameters by the means of Bluetooth, Bluetooth V5.0 is supported; 2.5 Network Module If the current radio supports network data transmission, users can transmit their data via network, now radio can be used as CORS station, without the need of RTK device, thus saving cost and simplifying outdoor operation. In addition, network module supports 3G/4G.
3 Functions and Operation Instruction 3.1 Startup & Shutdown Button The startup & shutdown button (power button) can be used to control radio power-on and power-off, with specific functions as follows: Short press the startup button for about 1 second to power on, the green power indicator light illuminates in the case of successful power-on (under the condition of normal power supply).
If Bluetooth matches successfully, the red BT illuminates and the Bluetooth icon appears in the condition, if the offline icon disappears, the BT indicator light goes out. 3.
3.7.1 Device Information In the information column, the current channel number, current transmitting frequency, current receiving frequency, current protocol, current transmitting power, battery condition, device model, firmware version, hardware version and serial number are displayed. 3.7.
Note: After changing the protocol, you need reselect the RF baud rate supported by the current protocol in the menu of “wireless link rate”; 3.7.4 RF Baud Rate In this menu column, you can set up the current communication RF baud rate. Different protocols support different types of RF baud rates. For example, TRANSEOT supports 4800,9600, while TRIMMK3 supports 19200.
3.7.7 Serial Port Baud Rate In this menu column, you can set up the current serial port communication baud rate. Now, there are the following baud rates: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. Select required serial port communication baud rate through up and down buttons, and press the OK key to select this serial port communication baud rate as the serial port communication baud rate of the current communication, the character of“*” will appear after selection. 3.7.
3.7.9 OLED Sleep Mode Set up whether the OLED display enters sleep, only if the “Function” switch is in the “On” mode can the OLED display enter the sleep mode, sleep time has the following levels: 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min, 30min. Note: After the OLED display enters sleep, you can awaken it through button and pop-up window message. 3.7.10 Interference Detection Detect whether there is any interference in the current channel.
3.7.11 Language Set up the display language of device fonts, Chinese and English are supported for this terminal. 3.8 Use of Radio Configuration Software Multiple forms of configuring radio parameters are supported. Users can change and query the current radio parameters by the means of background mode, user interface mode and PC configuration tool. The use methods of the PC configuration tool are introduced as below.
Figure 3 Installation Instruction 3.8.2 Configuration Tool Installation Open the configuration tool installation file and click “Next” until installation is completed. In the end, one shortcut appears on the desktop. During the radio configuration later, you can directly open this shortcut to operate the radio, as shown in Figure 4.
3.8.3 Radio Parameter Query Firstly, click “Read”, and select the right serial port number and the current operating radio serial port baud rate in the dialog box popped up, click “Connect” and “Read” in the end, now you can begin to read the radio configuration parameters.
3.8.4 Radio Parameter Configuration In the basic information column, only radio information can be queried, settings are not supported; In the channel information column, the frequency point range set up is between 410~470MHz, signs‘-’ and ‘+’can be used to increase and delete or reduce.
In the personalization setting column, users can set up communication protocol, RF baud rate, serial port baud rate, transmitting power level and transmitting/receiving mode; In the power management column, users can set up the low-voltage alarm threshold value for radio operation and wireless data transmission voltage; In the network setting column, users can select the corresponding server type and set up related information such as IP address, port number and mounting point; Note: If the
3. Select right serial port number and baud rate, open the serial port and select internally installed radio, as shown in Figure 5.
4. Select the file requiring upgrade (e.g.***.**.**F.
5. Click the “Begin to Update” button (when you click the “Begin to Update” button, one prompt dialog box pops up indicating whether a parameter is correct, now users are required to click OK; after that, the system enters into the upgrade condition immediately) 6. After upgrade, the prompt pops up indicating successful upgrade, click OK for completion of upgrade this time; 7.
