Overview  
Overview  
The Matrix RF Signal Tester is used to evaluate the  
Matrix RF signal quality for locating the Transceiver(s) in  
a new or existing Matrix facility.  
The RF Signal Tester requires a Matrix Transceiver  
to function properly. The Transceiver must be posi-  
tioned in the building as close as possible to the position  
of intended installation. The Transceiver must be pow-  
ered up, but does not need to be connected to a PC.  
The quality of Matrix RF signals can be affected by  
building characteristics such as building size and type of  
construction. Other RF devices located in the building or  
close by can also interfere with Matrix RF signals. The  
RF Signal Tester will assist you in positioning the Matrix  
Transceiver(s) in the best possible location.  
If the facility already has a functioning Matrix system,  
the RF Signal Tester can utilize the existing Transceiver  
without interrupting or interfering with the Matrix system.  
A second “test” Transceiver can still be used, if desired,  
as long as its dip switch settings are not already in use  
by another Transceiver in the facility.  
The RF Signal Tester is battery powered and contains  
RF hardware identical to that used in Matrix Meters and  
Tank Level Monitors (TLMs).

Display Functions  
Display Functions  
If an RF Signal Tester is removed from service  
for an extended time the battery should be  
removed and recharged.  
Asleep / Awake Mode  
Asleep is a battery-saving mode in which the display  
goes blank after a five-minute period of no button or trig-  
ger switch activity. An RF test lasting longer than five  
minutes will stop and the LCD display backlight will go  
out as the Signal Tester enters the sleep mode.  
If you see the message “Remove Low Battery -  
Wait 30 Seconds Then Replace”, follow the  
instructions and replace the low battery with a  
fully charged battery. Do not do this proce-  
dure during RF signal testing.  
The display comes Awake from sleep mode when any  
display button is pressed. RF testing will not automati-  
cally restart. To resume testing press the trigger switch.  
Even when a Signal Tester is idle (asleep), the  
Signal Tester is still functioning and the battery  
will be used.  
Battery Life Indicator  
On the right side of the display is a series of four bars  
located under the word BATT. See FIG. 2. The presence  
of all four bars indicates a fully charged battery. The  
bars decline in number as the Signal Tester is used and  
the battery discharges. All Matrix signal tester batteries  
should be re-charged using a Graco Matrix battery char-  
ger at the end of the working day to assure good perfor-  
mance the next day.  
BATT

Operation  
Select Network and Transceiver ID  
If the PROGRAM screen is selected during an RF  
signal test, the test will stop. The testing then must  
be manually restarted.  
If necessary to determine the Transceiver dipswitch set-  
tings on page 8 for a guide. It does not matter if an  
RS232 connection or an RS422 connection is used  
or will be used in the installation. To perform the test  
all that’s needed is a powered on Transceiver and the  
correct network ID and Transceiver ID entered into the  
RF signal tester.  
Performing the RF Signal Test  
1. Press the trigger switch to begin testing the signal  
quality between the tester and the Transceiver. See  
FIG. 5.  
1. Press the left button (B) under PROGRAM to dis-  
play the current Transceiver’s network and address  
(NET WK ID A, TRANS ID A). See FIG. 4.

2. If necessary, enter a new letter for the network ID  
and address ID for the target Transceiver. These  
new settings are based on the target Transceiver dip  
switch settings. (See manual 309498 for detailed dip  
switch instructions).  
PROGRAM  
Press the SELECT button (A) to toggle between the  
Network and Transceiver ID. Use the center  
up/down buttons (C) to change letter designations.  
FIG. 5  
Once the RF test begins, the Signal Tester transmits ten  
test messages to the Transceiver and “listens” for the  
Transceiver to send a signal back to the Signal Tester  
acknowledging that the message was received. This  
series of ten test messages is called a test interval and  
takes approximately ten seconds. However, the ten sec-  
ond interval can vary depending on the RF environment  
and signal quality.  
3. Press the PROGRAM button (B) to save settings  
and return to the Main screen.

Operation  
GOOD SIGNAL: If over several test intervals the result  
is consistently a GOOD SIGNAL, the location is within  
the range of the Transceiver for reliable communication.  
Optional Display Information Explanation  
Each test interval sends 10 messages to the Trans-  
ceiver. Each of these 10 messages is resent up to 10  
times or until the RF tester receives a response from the  
Transceiver. If no response is received after resending  
the individual message 10 times the RF tester moves on  
to the next text message and resends it up to 10 times  
or until a response is received from the Transceiver.  
BAD SIGNAL: If the results are consistently a BAD SIG-  
NAL, (despite an occasional GOOD SIGNAL reading),  
the location is not within the range of reliable Trans-  
ceiver communication.  
3. Pressing the RF Tester trigger again resets the tes-  
ter to zero and restarts the testing.  
Once all 10 test interval messages have been sent and  
RF testing is complete, the number of retries for each of  
the 10 messages is totaled (anywhere from 1-100) and  
then divided by 10 to get the AVG. RETRIES number.  
This number is displayed on the RF tester screen.  
Pressing the trigger anytime during the test stops  
the testing at the last message sent. Pressing the  
RF tester trigger again resets the tester to zero and  
restarts the testing.  
For example, FIG. 7 illustrates an RF interval test where  
a total of 50 resend messages were bad out of a possi-  
ble 100 (10 test interval messages x 10 retries = 100)  
100 ÷ 50 = 5.  
LOCATING THE TRANSCEIVER(S)  
Perform RF signal testing at all Meter and TLM locations  
to determine an appropriate mounting location for the  
Transceiver(s).  
A test interval that has an AVG. RETRIES of 4 or more  
is considered a BAD SIGNAL. An average of less than 4  
is considered a GOOD SIGNAL.  
If a Transceiver needs to be repositioned or  
another Transceiver needs to be added to the sys-  
tem, be sure to repeat RF signal testing at all Meter  
and TLM locations in the facility to assure reliable  
RF communication from the new Transceiver loca-  
tion(s).

sis. It is not necessary to display this information for  
general RF Signal testing.

Determining Transceiver Dipswitch Settings  
Determining Transceiver Dipswitch Settings  
Each Transceiver is equipped with two, 4 - position dip-  
switches labeled S1 and S2 representing the network ID  
(S1) setting and the Transceiver ID (S2) setting. See  
FIG. 8. There is a possibility of (8) Network ID's and (8)  
Transceiver ID's. The eight positions for each Network  
ID and Transceiver ID are identified as A, B, C, D, E, F,  
G, and H. See FIG. 9 and FIG. 10.  
Existing Matrix Facility - If the Transceiver is already  
installed, two large letters should be visible on the out-  
side of the box. The first letter represents the Network ID  
and the second letter represents the Transceiver ID.  
If no letters are present on the installed Transceiver, it  
may be necessary to look inside the Transceiver box to  
determine the dipswitch settings. First determine if an  
RS232 or an RS422 connection is used and then refer  
to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 to determine the Network ID and  
Transceiver ID.  
Network ID (S1): This is the RF identification  
setting assigned to a Matrix installation. All com-  
ponents in the system use this same Network  
ID. For example, if one dealership is using Net-  
work ID (A), the dealership across the street  
would required Network ID (B) to avoid RF inter-  
ference between the two systems.  
Testing can be completed while the Matrix system  
is in use. The test messages sent by the RF Signal  
Tester will be ignored by the PC that is connected  
to the system.  
Transceiver ID (S2): This is the RF identifica-  
tion setting assigned to a Matrix Transceiver(s).  
Matrix system components are then assigned to  
the Transceiver(s) ID's as desired for RF com-  
munication. For example, If a system required  
two Transceivers, some components would be  
assigned to one Transceiver and other compo-  
nents would be assigned to the second Trans-  
ceiver using the Transceiver ID dipswitch.  
New Matrix Facility - the factory default setting for all  
Transceivers is (AA). The first A refers to the Network ID  
and the second A refers to the Transceiver ID. It does  
not matter in a new installation if an RS232 or an RS  
422 connection will be used at the time of installation.
