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
using 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 #7 - Setting the Transmitter Input Mode -
The PRL-1600
can operate in the Form C or Form A modes. In the Form C (3-Wire)
mode, each input channel uses the K, Y and Z inputs. Two
independent 3-Wire meter pulse channels can be transmitted. In the
Form A (2-Wire) mode, each pulse channel uses the K (common)
and a Y input. Four independent 2-Wire meter pulse channels can
be transmitted. Set
Switch #7
to the
DOWN
position for the Form A
mode and
UP
for Form C mode.
Switch #8 - Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver -
The PRT-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 15
ONLY IF the system has not been previously paired at the factory.
***Do not switch #8 UP if the system is already paired.***
