Channel Selection
Page 5
Every ReconRobotics robot is preset to one specific channel.
The channel is indicated by a sticker on the shell of the robot.
When pairing an OCU and a robot, the channel designations
must match identically. Robot systems are specified with
different channel letters so that multiple robots can be used in
the same area without interference. When using two robots,
make sure they are on different channels. If two robots share
a channel, such as A.2 and A, they will not work well in the
same environment. Check the shell of the robot and top of
the OCU for channel designation. (Robot designation depicted
to the right.)
The CMS 2.0 can only display video (or Audio and Video
when using a Throwbot XT Audio) from one active
robot at any given time. Multiple Command Monitoring
Stations are required for simultaneous monitoring of multiple
robots. Ensure that the selected channel is the exact
same as the active robot.
To change the active channel on the Command Monitoring
Station, press the
channel select button
until the LED is lit
for the desired channel. The LED will light red for channels A,
B, and C; or green for channels A.2, B.2, and C.2.
