ECEIVER
. This system is
designed to monitor and protect up to 8 dozer operators operating on a
coal stock pile(s). The large center mounted STOP switch allows easy
access by the operator. The unit includes a log-in/log-out button for
system activation and raw coal/clean coal receiver selection. The log-in
relay channel is user selectable and must be designated for each
transmitter (see DOZER LOG-IN CHANNEL & RECEIVER LOG-IN
OPTIONS SELECTION table). Dual color LED's provide a visual
display of system status, linked receiver, and signal strength.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Once operator has reached the hazardous area he must log-in to Base
Receiver 1 or 2 to alert the system to his presence and allow monitoring to
begin. LED indicators guide this process and provide visual indication of
various statuses. If at any time the operator pushes the STOP button, the
stop signal is immediately sent to the receiver to shut down underground
feeders and alert emergency personnel. When the operator wishes to
leave the area, prior to exceeding the range of the transmitter, he must
push the LOG-OUT button to avoid having an unnecessary shut-down
signal sent to the receiver.
Note
– If the RF link is broken or DC power is lost, this will also
initiate a stop condition at the remote receiver.
LOGGING IN & OUT TO THE RECEIVER
TO LOG IN
By default, the transmitter is set to log in to
Receiver #1 only. By using the dip switches on
SEL1, you can change the set-up to have the
transmitter log in to Receiver #2 only, or give the
user the ability to select which receiver to log into.
(See RECEIVER LOG-IN OPTIONS) When the
transmitter is set up to give a choice of receivers to
log into
(SW6 CLOSED)
, use the following
procedure:
Press the LOG-IN BUTTON momentarily to log
into Receiver #1. The RX.1 LED will blink for 3
seconds then illuminate solid when link
established. If the LOG-IN BUTTON is depressed
a second time during this 3 second period, the unit
will attempt to log in to Receiver #2 instead and
the RX.2 LED will blink for 3 seconds then
illuminate solid when link established
TO SWITCH
RECEIVERS
(SW6 CLOSED)
Tap the LOG-IN BUTTON to switch between
“raw
coal” and “clean coal” receivers. LED for new
receiver will blink then illuminate solid with link
established. Old receiver will log out and
extinguish LED
TO LOG OUT
Press and hold the LOG-IN BUTTON for 3-4
seconds. Current
receiver’s LED will blink until log
out occurs, then extinguish. LED will not go out
until the unit has received verification that the
logout process was successful.
