6. After you have entered both digits, press and release the On/Volume
Up button to SAVE the entry. The LED display will briey show the
channel number you have just programmed and then a hyphen, the
radio will sound a triple beep to indicate that programming was successful.
An ERROR tone will sound if you attempt to save an incorrect code,
an “E” will appear on the LED display. Check the digits you are attempting
to program and start over.
7. You may program each channel with the same or a different 2-Tone Code
by repeating steps 3-6.
8. Turn the radio OFF and then ON again for normal operation. The "Z" button is
used to send the 2-Tone Code. See HOW TO SEND A 2-TONE CODE.
TABLE 5: PROGRAMMABLE 2-TONE ENCODE CODES
HOW TO FIELD PROGRAM 2-TONE ENCODE CODES
For special applications, it is possible to use your Ritron portable radio or base station
for remote control applications; such as opening or closing a gate remotely (see Ritron
GateGuard at www.ritron.com/gg_04.pdf). This application requires you to program the
radio(s) that will be sending the command for 2-Tone Encode operation. And radio(s) that
will be receiving the command (e.g. Ritron Callbox) for 2-Tone Decode operation. The 2-
Tone Codes must match.
The user can eld program each channel with one of the 9 pre-set 2-Tone Codes speci-
ed in Table 5. These codes correspond to eld programmable 2-Tone Codes available
in the Ritron 6-Series OUTPOST Callbox. In our example we will program a UHF radio to
operate with 2-Tone Code #94.
1. Refer to Table 5 to determine the 2 digit, 2-Tone Code(s) you wish
to program into each specic channel.
2. Follow the instructions in Fig 7, page 9 to place the radio
in the “Program/Readout Mode”.
3. Using the channel button and the LED display on the radio, select
the channel number you want to program a 2-Tone Code into.
4. Enter the 1
st
digit of the 2-Tone code by clicking the PTT button
until the program display shows the desired number. Pause—the
radio will sound a low tone and show a hyphen across the
display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit.
5. Enter the 2
nd
digit of the 2-Tone code by clicking the PTT button
until the program display shows the desired number. Pause—the
radio sounds a low tone and will show a hyphen across the
display.
Code No Code No Code No
91 94 97
92 95 98
93 96 99
Important Note:
You can ADD a 2-Tone Code to a channel if the Frequency Code and Tone Code
are not changed. Changing the Frequency Code or Tone Code of a channel will
ERASE any 2-Tone Code programmed on that channel. You must FIRST re-pro-
gram the channel to the desired Frequency Code and Tone Code and then SAVE
the entry by pressing the On/Volume Up button, then you may enter your 2-Tone
Code, remember you must also SAVE this entry by pressing the On/Volume Up
button.
2-TONE CODE
HOW TO SEND A 2-TONE CODE
1. Select a channel that has been programmed with a 2-Tone Code.
2. Press the "Z" button to send the 2-Tone Code programmed for that specic
channel.
If more than 5 digits are displayed during readout, the radio has been
programmed for 2-Tone Encode. The frequency and tone codes will be
displayed, followed by a “C”, then the radio will display the 2-Tone
Code; see Table 5. In this example a UHF radio was programmed to
operate on the “Brown Dot” Frequency Code 04 (464.500 MHz) with
Tone Code 12 (100.0 Hz) and 2-Tone Encode Code 94.
