MPA3 Page 7 of 11 Issue 1
Note:
Whenever the Pendant is triggered, the front LED is illuminated to assure the user the message has been sent.
If the battery is low when ever a message is sent, a battery low message will be transmitted first to indicate to the user
that the battery needs replacing. When 8 consecutive low battery messages have been sent, a "shut down" message
will be transmitted and after this point the unit will not transmit until the battery has been changed.
Configuring the unit is done by the application software and a Pendant programmer unit. The pendant programmer
provides a docking station for the pendant and a contact less method of unit configuration. The unit cannot be read in
this programmer unit, only written to. Pendants can be factory configured to customer requirements.
If the MPA3 configuration needs to be read (generally only a factory function), the MPA3 can be supplied with a USB
"Read" cable which, when used in conjunction with the application software, can be used to read the MPA configuration
data. In order to connect the cable, the MPA3 needs to be opened and connected to the appropriate header. If this
function may be required, please consult Scope.
