1

Verify that the dipswitch of communication selection on the RS485 circuit. It must be on RS485 side (near the clamps, to made on field)

2

Iverify the correct address of the microwave on the first 3 dipswitches under the RS485 circuit (on field).

3

Open Microdave Software and go on the desired microwave, then open the diagnostic-setup window (TX and RX are on the same window, from remote)

4

Set the chosen microwaves as needed, setting the parameters (channel, battery ecc).  Set the microwave in test mode to align it, and verify that the microwave is receiving signal. If there’s no signal (AGC% 99) unselect test mode and align it in normal mode, otherwise align in in test mode.  N.B : At the end of alignment unselect the test mode (from remote).

5

move horizontally TX and RX parabolas, trying to find the less value of AGC%, displayed on the screen. (field)

6

Move vertically TX and RX parabolas, trying to find the less value of AGC%, displayed on the screen. (Field)

7

In case of finding of an AGC value of 5% or less,  rotate clockwise the AGC trimmer to increase the % (the trimmer is not linear), then restart from point 5. (on field and remote)

8

At the point of maximum alignment set the AGC %, trough the related trimmer, in a range between 15% and 25%. (on field/remote)

9

Launche from MICRODAVE the funcion “Intrusion Analisys” and made the desired crossing (on filed). From remote verify the values of sensitivity and delay time suggested by the tool and, if wanted, set the parameters.

1

Verify that the dipswitch of communication selection on the RS485 circuit. It must be on RS232 side (near 6 pin connector)

2

Put in ON the dip1 of the 2 microwaves, leaving all the others in OFF.  Remember, at the end of the settings, to reput the correct address.

3

Plug Davesfot Cable in the related 6 pin connector, nearby the dipswiches block. Launch the software after the correct setting of the communication port on the PC.

4

Click on TX setup button when the software is connected to TX microwave and set it as necessary, selecting its parameters (channel, battery ecc). Then go on RX microwave, connect it to the software a press on RX setup. Set the microwave as necessary selecting its parameters (channel, battery ecc). Set the microwave in test mode to align it, and verify that the microwave is receiving signal. If there’s no signal (AGC% 99) unselect test mode and align it in normal mode, otherwise align in in test mode.

N.B : At the end of alignment unselect the test mode.

5

Enter in RX diagnostic window, then move horizontally TX and RX parabolas, trying to find the less value of AGC%, displayed on the screen.

6

Move vertically TX and RX parabolas, trying to find the less value of AGC%, displayed on the screen.

7

In case of finding of an AGC value of 5% or less,  rotate clockwise the AGC trimmer to increase the % (the trimmer is not linear), then restart from point 5.

8

At the point of maximum alignment set the AGC %, trough the related trimmer, in a range between 15% and 25%.

9

When the alignment is done made the crossing test and see the values of detected mass and crossing speed detected by the microwave. When all the test are done go in RX setup and insert the correct values of sensitivity and delay time (use the formula 100-detected mass = sensitivity).
