MSI-4260
Series RF Indicators can be equipped with an
RF Remote Control (RFRC). The RFRC is a transmit
only device that can be used to perform basic scale
functions. The default switch functions can be changed in
the Function Key menus and used for any
MSI-4260
programmable functions. Range will vary from 25' to
100' (50' typical) depending on room conditions and line
of sight to the display. The remote receiving antenna is
behind the red lens of the meter and best range will occur
when the display is visible to the operator using the
RFRC.
The RFRC provides the ability to turn the
MSI-4260
on
remotely. The RFRC is available in three versions
differing only in transmit frequency. The standard USA
version operates at 418MHz. Available alternative
frequencies are 315MHz and 433MHz primarily for use
in countries other than the USA.
6.2 Functions
The default functions of the RF Remote control
duplicates the functions of the front panel keys on
MSI-
4260
RF Indicator. The POWER, ZERO, NET/GROSS,
TARE, TOTAL, and VIEW TOTAL keys function
identically. The TOTAL still must be enabled and
configured in the
MSI-4260
before the Total features will
function properly.
The F1 key corresponds to the USER key on the 4260 front panel. The F2 key is
unique to the remote and the function is set using the Func2 setup menu.
When a successful transmission is achieved, the ACK green light will illuminate on
the
MSI-4260
front panel.
