Next, set the
number of channels of each remote
using SW2-1,
-2. One channel is considered 1 analog input/output plus 1
contact input/output. Hence an RCI-800 can have at most 8
channels.
Next, set the
number of channels of the host using SW2-3, -4.
An RCI-800 can at most have 8 channels. This is the number of
channels that will be exchanged between the host and each
remote.
Remote Configuration:
To make an RCI-800 operate as a REMOTE unit, make sure that SW2-8 is flipped up.
Next, set the
remote address using SW1-1, -2 & -3. Each
remote in a system must have a unique address.
Next, set the
number of channels on this remote using SW2-1,
-2. One channel is considered 1 analog input/output plus 1
contact input/output. Hence an RCI-800 can have at most 8
channels.
Perform the next step only if this remote is communicating to the host via a repeater!!!
When the remote is linked to a repeater the
remote PHP
must be set using SW1-4, -5, -6. The PHP of the remote
must match the SHP of the repeater.
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI):
The radio communications board has a signal strength
indicator to show the level of the signal that was received
from another radio. The indicator consists of 3 LED’s
labeled 1, 2 & 3. It is desirable to operate with the highest
signal strength achievable. If the signal strength is less than
-93 dBm, it is advisable to try to make adjustments to
then system to bring the signal strength up. A higher
power setting on the radio or a higher gain antenna
can be used to increase signal strength and achieve
more reliable operation of the radio system.
