User Manual

CAUTION:
The ‘Inhibit’ line should only be used to
temporarily
inhibit the external switched
outputs until the RX-500 ‘Maxi-MINDA’ receiver can be reset manually. If it is used,
it must be
‘un-grounded’ immediately after resetting the receiver
in order for any external switching
function to continue functioning.
TRANSMISSION RANGE
When using the ‘MINDA’ system over a line-of-sight path it is likely that with the short flexible
whip antenna attached to the receiver a working distance of over 100 yards will be obtained,
whereas in a busy street, hotel or station the range will be noticeably less. With a proper elevated
antenna connected to the ‘Maxi-MINDA’ receiver and an unobstructed line-of-sight path from the
transmitter, a range of 400-500 yards may be possible.
It is recommended that before using a ‘MINDA’ system in a ‘live’ operational situation, a few tests
should be carried out in the location(s) of interest to confirm consistent and reliable operation.
