Bind the LCA130T to a DXM and Assign the Device Address
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate the radios by two meters when running the binding procedure. Put only one DXM into binding mode at a time to prevent the LCA130T from binding to the wrong DXM.

  1. On the DXM: Use the arrow keys to select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and click ENTER.

  2. Highlight the Binding menu and click ENTER.

  3. Use the arrow keys to select the Node address to bind the LCA130T to.

  4. On the LCA130T, enter binding mode:

    • Touch and hold button 1.
    • Triple-touch button 2.
    • Release button 1.
      The red and green Binding Mode Status LEDs flash alternately and the sensor searches for a DXM in binding mode. After the LCA130T binds, the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The LCA130T exits binding mode.
  5. Label the LCA130T with the Node address number for future reference.

  6. On the DXM: Click BACK to exit binding for that specific Node address.

  7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 and change the Node address for as many LCA130Ts as are needed for your network.

  8. On the DXM: After you have finished forming your network, click BACK until you reach the main menu.

LED Behavior for the Nodes
Nodes do not sample inputs until they are communicating with the Gateway. The radios and antennas must be a minimum distance apart to function properly. Recommended minimum distances are:

  • 900 MHz (500 mW): 4.57 m (15 ft)
  • 2.4 GHz (65 mW): 0.3 m (1 ft)
Binding Mode Status LEDs Node Status
Flashing green Radio link okay
Green and red flashing alternately In Binding mode
Both colors are solid for 4 seconds, then flash 4 times; looks amber Binding

mode is complete
Flashing red, once every 3 seconds| Radio link error
Flashing red, once every second| Device error

To ensure that the LCA130T holds the correct state in case of signal interference, read the button input registers on the LCA130T, and then use the gateway to write the matching value to the button output registers on the LCA130T.

By default, an LED and an output are on steady when the corresponding button is touched and released immediately. An LED and an output continuously flash on and off when the button is touched and held for one second. Combinations of button touches and holds are summed.
For example, the value held in register 1 is 6 (2 + 4) when button 1 is flashing (2) and button 2 (4) is steady.
