2.0 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.
This
section describes the recommended operating procedure and maintenance for the
transmitter-receiver system.
2.1 OPERATION.
2.1.1
Connect devices to receiver outputs. With the receiver turned off, set the
receiver key switch to its “Enabled” position. Verify continuity through the
devices by contacting the tops of the receiver output terminals.
2.1.2
Turn the receiver key switch to its “Shunted position, and turn on the
receiver. Verify flashing “Battery OK” light. Enable transmitter, and
perform range test by observing receiver activity lights while pressing
transmitter buttons. (The receiver should be located within 60 yards of the
transmitter with no intervening conductive objects for most reliable
operation.) Verify that the transmitter battery is good by observing the
flashing “Xmtr Enabled” light. Turn the transmitter lock switch back to
“Safe” position, and turn off the receiver.
2.1.3
When the area around the devices to be actuated is clear of persons who
might be injured by an accidental actuation, turn on the receiver. After
verifying that the receiver’s two red activity lights are off (no radio signal
is being detected, and channel A is not latched on), turn the receiver’s
lock switch to its “Enabled” position.
WARNING - If an activity light is on, the corresponding receiver output
will be actuated immediately upon turning the lock switch to “Enabled”.
2.1.4
Turn the transmitter lock switch to its “Enabled” position, and press the
appropriate button to actuate the desired receiver output channel. Once
the lockswitch is in its “Enabled” position, the key may be removed to
make it easier to press the buttons. A button must be held for at least 100
milliseconds to produce a receiver output. The transmitter should be held
with the antenna in a vertical orientation, away from the body and other
conductive objects to achieve maximum range and communication
reliability. Generally, the higher the transmitter is held, the greater the
range.
2.1.5
When finished, turn off the receiver, and turn the transmitter lockswitch
back to its “Safe” position to stop further drain of the transmitter battery.
You may remove the antenna to make it easier to store the transmitter.
Observe the precautions in section 1.1 before removing the antenna. If
the transmitter is to be stored for a prolonged period, remove the battery
as described in section 1.6 above.
