Programming
For some installations the RIB-600Analog can be programmed in the field without the need
for the Ritron PC Programmer LM-PCPS (LM-PCPK-USB kit with cable).
Field programming
is accomplished in 3 easy steps. First, the radio frequency and tone codes are entered.
Second, the selective signaling code is entered (if used). Third, the RIB-600Analog options
and audio level setting are entered.
3.1
PC Programming Software LM-PCPS
While most RIB-600Analog programming can be accomplished via Field Programming, the Ritron PC Programming Software (LM-PCPS) can also
be used. The PC Programmer allows viewing of all programmed attributes at once. It also permits you to save a programming profile you can use to
easily program other RIB-600Analog radios to the same settings. Ritron PC Programming kit LM-PCPK-USB includes the LM-PCPS programming
software and a USB Programming cable.
