Operation
Power Requirements
The RC250 works by first receiving a data 'packet' from a transmitter, verifying it, then
storing it to be read by the external device or PC. It is verified by means of a checksum
contained in the message and the associated transmitter number.
If the RC250 does not receive a message from a transmitter within a configured time, the
stored value will be set to “no data”. For more detail see P6 “No Data interval”.
Example application: Typically data from the RC250 to the PC is updated every 30
minutes, so the transmitter interval is set to 5 minutes (that this PC update period ÷ 6)
and the “No Data” interval to 2 hours. (that is PC update period x 4). If the transmitter
stops transmitting for any reason the PC should register this fact after 2 hours.
The RC250 requires permanent AC mains connection. Use only the AC power supply type
MP12U or the provided MP12U5W. Built-in Ni-Mh batteries provide up to 3 days standby
in the event of power failure. A fully discharged battery is charged in 72 hours. Once the
batteries become low the RC250 will switch itself into a low power mode and turn off the
receiver.
