Assigning Controller Identities  

Before a program can be entered, all of the controllers in the system must be communicating. To accomplish this, each 
controller is given an identity. Additionally, when using wireless communication, each radio must be assigned a 
“Master” or “Remote” designation as well as an operating channel and baud rate. Cable can also be used to link the 
signals together.

1.  To begin, power on the Controller  with the PTS Programmer plugged in. You will be    

presented with the initial startup screen which displays the current software version 
number. 

 

2.    You will then be presented with the “New System” screen. By answering “No,” no   

changes are made to the controller’s identity. If you would like to make changes, use the 
arrow buttons to navigate the menu, and the plus/minus buttons to change the values. 

       Connection:  

 

Communication method. Choose from Radio,    

 

 

 

 

Cable, or Quartz (no communication). 

       Amount of Controllers: 

Total number of controllers in the signal system 

       Controller:   

 

Identity of this specific controller 

3.    Repeat this process on each controller in your system. Remember that each controller    

must have a different “Controller” Number, but the same total “Amount of Controllers” 
and “Connection” type. These settings only have to be configured once, unless you are 
changing the number of controllers in your system. 

Configuring the Radio  

PTS systems using radio communication require one Master radio which can relay program information to all other 
Remote radios in the system. There are 14 channels that can be used for communication. To configure a radio press 
the “M” menu button then scroll down and select “Configure Radio” from the main menu. 

1.  Use the Arrow buttons to select the Radio Type. Each system can only have one 

Master; All others must be set to Remote. 

2.  Set the Channel. All signals (Master and all Remotes) must be on the same channel. 

3.  Set the Baud rate. For Enhanced Mode (Multi-Signal 2.0 controllers), the baud rate 

should be 57600. For Compatibility Mode (using Multi-Signal 1.0 or a mix of 1.0 and 
2.0 controllers), the Baud rate must be set to 19200. 

4.  On the DataLink SRM6230 Radio, press the “Reset/Config” button. The LED labeled 

“M2” will illuminate. 

5.  On the PTS Programmer, change “Read” to “Send” using the Plus (+)  button. To 

apply the new radio configuration press the green “E” button repeatedly at a mod-
erate rate of speed until the “M2” & “M1” LEDs both go out. Next the “M2” LED 
will flicker and go back out while the “M1” LED will come back on and stay on.

Note: The PTS Programmer can read the configuration settings of a radio by following these same steps using the “Read” function. 
The radio settings will display at the top of the PTS Programmer beside “Read”. After reading radio settings unplug the PTS Pro-
grammer and cycle controller’s power.
