5.3 Connecting the CHTX to a Computer
The CHTX transmitter contains circuits that permit communication with a computer system via USB. The
USB mini-B plug is located on the side of the transmitter bottom housing (See Fig. 15).

When connecting the transmitter to a computer system, the transmitter batteries must be installed. The
USB circuit does not provide power to the transmitter. Magnetek highly recommends using a fully charged
battery pack when using USB and RCP with the transmitter.
5.4 Programming with RCP
Read the section of the CHTX manual regarding additional operational features to familiarize yourself with
the following features. The CHTX transmitter can be programmed using the optional RCP (Radio Control
Programmer) software.
Magnetek RCP software makes the programming of the CHTX transmitter easier and allows the
programmer to store all the CHTX settings in files for later use or reference. The RCP software also allows
the programmer to customize the CHTX transmitter display with language descriptions that are project- or
machine-specific. Help is provided for each function at the bottom of the RCP screen. The RCP software
allows you to select frequency, access code, and transmitter power, as well as CAN configuration. Perform
the following procedure.
WARNING
The access codes in the receiver are unique and factory preset. Do not change these access codes
unless you are replacing an existing receiver and its access code. Changing this code could make it
common with another receiver access code, which could move other equipment. No two systems in
any location should ever have the same access codes independent of the frequency. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious injury or death, and damage to equipment.
