2.1.3 Enable the transmitter, and with the receiver’s ARM switch in “safe” or
“disarmed” position, perform a range test by observing the green
activity light on the receiver while pressing a transmitter button. There
should be no intervening conductive objects for most reliable operation.
All receivers must be elevated 12” or more above ground level to achieve
specified range. When transmitting over water, range will normally
exceed the specified value.
Range of the receiver is typically ½ mile, and its range can be tested with
the arm switch off by observing the green activity indicator while the
transmitter FIRE buttons are pressed. Verify that the transmitter battery is
not depleted by observing the flashing “Xmtr Enabled” light while not
pressing the FIRE buttons. (See section 1.3) Then turn the transmitter
lock switch back to “Safe” position.
2.1.4 When the area around the devices to be actuated is clear of persons who
might be injured by an accidental actuation, and after verifying that the
receiver’s green activity light is off (no radio signal is being detected), turn
the receiver’s ARM switch to its “Armed” position. Refer to the receiver
manual for the corresponding arming procedure.
WARNING - If the receiver’s green activity light is erratic or on
continuously, its output may be actuated immediately upon changing its
ARM switch to the “Armed” position.
2.1.5 Verify electrical continuity through the devices connected to the receiver
outputs. Continuity is tested on the RFLS-96HSRC and RFLS-496HSRC
receivers by pressing the test button. On the RFLS-912HSRC receiver, it
is done by pressing the ARM toggle switch down into its “Test” position.
Lighted lamps indicate open circuits. It is recommended this be done with
the Arm Switch in the “Safe” or “Disarmed” position, but the test circuit will
also function in the “Armed” position.
