5.3.8 Reading Internal Sensor Values
The MRC-565 radio has the capability to read certain sensor values, e.g. Internal rechargeable
battery (-03 only), internal temperature, etc.
Following are the most commonly used commands to read these sensor values, please note that
some commands are only available on -03 radios. For a more detailed description of this feature,
refer to Section 4.7.
COMMAND
DESCRIPTION
EVENT,STATUS,PATEMP
Reads the internal PA temperature of the unit
EVENT,STATUS,BAT
Reads the unloaded battery (external) of the radio
EVENT,STATUS,LBAT
Reads the loaded battery (external) of the radio
EVENT,STATUS,ADC1 { thru DC6}
5.3.9 Power Turn On
The MRC-565 has the ability for the radio to be powered off by the CF Processor. This can be
used to turn the radio off under electronic control for purposes of reduction standby operating
current.
An external control signal (e.g. car ignition, data logger, etc) connected to the I/O port is used to
turn the unit on.
This external signal (+3 to 12VDC voltage) is applied to the optical isolated port 2, available on
the 25 pin connector (I/O Port). There is an internal 2000 ohms resister to limit the current. To
connect the control signal to IN2, apply +V to IN2+ (Pin 3 on DB-25 connector) and –V
(ground) to IN2- (Pin 4 on DB-25 connector).
To enable the power off feature, use the following command to set the Power Time Out (PTO)
in seconds to turn the radio off after the IN2 is removed.
PTO,xxx where xxx is the timeout in seconds.
NOTE
PTO command must not be used (i.e. set to PTO,OFF) if JP2 is installed.
