Installation and Operation Manual 5
The two-colour LED indication is to be understood as having the following meaning
arranged by priority:
• LED has gone out - trouble;
• LED glows in red - transmission in progress;
• LED blinks, alternating between red and green - technical fault (power failure or low
battery charge);
• LED flashes in green - the unit is working properly;
• LED glows in green and flashes in yellow - the unit is in test mode.
• LED glows in yellow - RF fault (bad antenna)
1.1 Calculating the Length of the TP2000 Transmitter antenna according
to Transmission Frequency
Calculations are made by using the following formula:
L (cm) = 6930 / F (mHz)
examples:
For F = 161,125 MHz the antenna’s length is calculated as follows:
L = 6930 / 161,125 = 43 cm
For F = 433,125 MHz the antenna’s length is calculated as follows:
L = 6930 / 433,125 = 16 cm
After calculating the exact length required the antenna is to be cut.
The length of the antenna is to be measured from its base, where it emerges from the
coupling.
1.2 installing TP2000 Transmitter
The installation of the transmitter starts with its mounting in an appropriate position on
the site. It is preferable to remove the cover first and take into consideration whether it
will be possible to attach the fixing screws after installation has been completed. The unit
should be mounted where it will have good conditions for transmitting, e.g. far from metal
screens. Provide for at least 50 cm above the unit for the antenna that you can connect
as soon as the case has been fixed in place.
Each transmitter comes with settings programmed by the manufacturer. Programming it
involves changing their configuration and saving new parameters.
Thus the unit is customized for a particular site.
To program the unit with a PC you will need:
• IBM compatible PC, WINDOWS NT/95/98/2000/XP;
• TP2000 integrator program;
• a PS2-to-RS cable.
You need to have installed the TP2000 integrator program on your computer. To do
this you have to run the seTUP command from the floppy disc you have been provided
with by the vendor. On the successful completion of installation the icon of TP2000
integrator will appear in your Program Folder.
