Setting the System CHANNEL

 - Each system -- the Transmitter and

Receiver -- must operate on one of six different channels.  A "channel"
is a collection of 50 specific frequencies that are arranged in a specific
"hop sequence".   A unique channel allows multiple systems to operate
in the same radio airspace without any interference with each other.
Therefore, the transmitter and receiver must have the same channel
setting. The channel address is set as a 3-bit binary code.  See 

Table 1

at right for complete list of the channels.  Note that Channel #6 is the
highest channel number and even though there are eight unique switch
combinations, Channel 6 is the highest channel that can be selected.
The last three switch combinations all result in Channel #6 being
selected.

Switch #4

 - Not used.

Switch #5

 - Fixed Pulse Width. Sets the output pulse width to 50mS

(

DOWN

) or 100mS (

UP

) when in Form A mode.

Switch #6

 - Not used.

RSSI Indicator* -  

The receiver has an Signal Strength Indicator to

show the signal strength of the Transmitter.  

This is a test mode and

can only be used during installation.

  See Diagnostics on page 18.

Once the system is operational, set 

Switch #7

 to 

DOWN 

to turn off the

RSSI.

Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver - 

The PRL-1600 System

requires that each Transmitter and Receiver are paired together.  Each
Transmitter must learn the address of the Receiver it is designated to
talk to.  This makes it possible for the Transmitter to only talk to the
designated Receiver and ignore other devices sending and receiving
information on a particular frequency. After installation is complete
perform the 

Pairing Procedure

 described on page 16 ONLY if the

pairing procedure has NOT been done at the factory. 

 ***Do not put

switch #8 into the UP position if the system has already been
paired.***
