Transceiver
Configuration
All units must be on the same ID to communicate with each other. XT100 units are fixed
on ID 0. XT200 units are selectable between ID 0 and 1. XT300/400 units have IDs 0
through 15 available.
1.
Set the ID DIP switch to the desired ID
2.
Set the baud rate DIP switch to match the serial device connected to the XT unit.
XT100 units are fixed at 9600 baud RS232.
3.
Press the CONFIG button on the transceiver to save the DIP switch settings. The
three green configuration LEDs will illuminate as setup progresses. When all three
LEDs light up Configuration is complete. *
If there is a problem with configuration the red CONFIG LED will blink every 5
seconds up to 6 times as internal communication is re-established. The red
CONFIG LED will then blink several times rapidly. Wait a minimum of 5
seconds before pressing CONFIG again.
* It may take up to 30 seconds after configuration before a link is established with other
units and data is transmitted between units.
When the transceiver has been properly configured and properly wired according to figure
1 the corresponding green LED (RS232, CLOOP, or RS422) will blink with each data
transmission. This LED will blink regardless of whether the receiver side has been
properly configured or even powered on. The red RX LED will blink on the receiver side
with each data burst received from the matching transceiver. Ideally with each green blink
on the transceiver side there will be a corresponding red blink on the receiver side. If the
receiver side is infrequent the signal is not reliably getting from one unit to the other.
Reposition antennas for direct line of sight as much as is feasible.
XT400 IO (Input Output) Setup
The XT400 transceiver has the ability to pass up to 4 input lines to one or more XT400
Transceivers set for outputs. You may not have more than one unit set for input on the
same system as the two units would conflict with each other. Each transceiver can either
be an input device or an output. You cannot mix input and output on the same device.
In addition to setting the DIP switches as mentioned above the unit will also need to have
the removable jumper placed in the correct spot as well as two 8 pin chips.
-For input lines, place the jumper on input and make sure the two MCT6 chips
are inserted into the sockets to the right, labeled “IN”
-For output lines, place the jumper on output and make sure the two MCT6 chips
are inserted into the sockets to the left, labeled “OUT”
*Input and output are only in reference to the digital lines. Serial data is bidirectional
regardless of jumper settings.
