5.6 Activation Options
There are five ways to activate channels:
•
Start-up
and
Wired Inputs
trigger channels to stay on until turned off, and
•
Keypad, VHF
and
SMS
all start timers to de-activate the channel after a defined period for
each channel.
1)
Start-up
The RLC can be configured so that at start-up (or after a power-cut) a specified
channel is activated.
The RLC remains in this state until another trigger.
This is a ‘fail-safe’ option of operation.
Start-up channels are inactive by default and are configured via SMS.
2)
Wired Inputs
The RLC has 3 inputs (which can be activated by a switch or relay) which turn
on the channels with no time-out.
Wired Inputs have the highest priority of all triggers and once set cannot be cancelled
unless the switch/relay is opened.
3)
Keypad
All channels can be
triggered by selecting Fn1
– Fn3 keys. The relevant channel will
be activated with the time-out timer running.
By default no PIN is required to activate channels via the keypad but this is configurable via
SMS.
4)
VHF
All channels can be activated
by a pilot using a series of ‘Clicks’ - pressing the Push To
Talk (PTT) transmit switch in the aircraft. The relevant channel is activated with the time-out
timer running.
Each of the channels 1 -3 have a default number of clicks of 3, 5 & 7 respectively. The
number of clicks, including the option to cancel via VHF, are configured via SMS
5)
SMS
Channels can be controlled On (with timer running) or Off via SMS and either the
Bluetooth or Cellular Radio links.
As well as activating the 3 channels, both the Windsock and Beacon interfaces are activated by
default.
How channels control these, including a Windsock Alert is configurable via SMS.
Note that in this version of software channels are activated sequentially and only one channel can
be active at a time (although it can control up to 3 relays).
For example, if channel 1 is active and channel 3 is triggered, channel 1 will be immediately
cancelled and channel 3 activated.
