1. General Description
The telemetry option, whether internal or external, supports connectivity to the
whole range of units of RVR’s
TEX-LCD
and
TEX-LIGHT
family of products.
In the continuation, unless that for the different versions there are specific
informations, the versions
/TLM-TEX2HE
(internal telemetry option for the 2 unit
TEX-LCD
series) and
/TLMTEX3HE
(internal telemetry option for the 3 unit
TEX-
LCD
series) will be called
/TLM-TEX
; similarly the
RDMODGSM-TEX
(external
telemetry option for the series
TEX-LCD
) and its variant
RDMODGSM-TEX.USA
(variant for american market) will be called simply
RDMODGSM-TEX
.
This section describes the features introduced with versions
/TLM-TEX
(option
with internal telemetry) and
RDMODGSM-TEX
(option with external telemetry)
and the necessary steps for their proper configuration.
The telemetry option supports:
Remote alarm reporting by sending SMS messages through a GSM modem
or through a PSTN modem (dial-up) by sending an alarm message string to a
connected PC.
Telemetry, with all equipment parameters sent to the “TELECON” software
through an RS232, GSM or PSTN connection;
Remote controlling through an RS232, GSM or PSTN connection to the
“TELECON” software or through certain predetermined SMS messages.
1.1 Remote alarm monitoring
Alarm generation parameters are listed below:
Exciter output power (forward power good “PgD”);
Reflected power at the exciter (reflected power good “PgR”);
Temperature state (OVER TEMPERATURE);
Audio Signal Level;
Mains voltage state (present or missing).
Factory default settings are as follows:
ALARM

An inhibit time (start time) after power-on is provided to ensure false alarm
prevention. When this inhibit time times out, the thresholds of alarm generation
parameters are checked and remote alarms are sent if needed.
