OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing a MINDA Intelligent Transmitter, which uses a low-power
microprocessor for ‘house-keeping’ and offers the following programmable options:
• A Unit Identity Code (TX ID number 1,2,3,or 4) which will allow a single receiver to identify up to
four different transmitters.
• A very secure Family Identity Code, enabling secure use of multiple groups of transmitters and
receivers together in the same location - without receiving alarms in ALL receivers.
• Full compatibility with other MINDA equipment
• Alarm signal repeat at programmable intervals
• Automatic transmission of Confidence signals is possible
• Transmitter ‘Low Battery’ alert sent to receiver
• Very low power consumption
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place
- it contains important information and helpful tips
which will assist you to obtain the best possible performance from your new MINDA system.
OPERATING FREQUENCY
All MINDA systems for use in the United States operate on a frequency of 418MHz in the UHF
band. The operating radio frequency cannot be changed to suit a specific customer’s needs.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The MINDA TX-600 belt transmitter requires a custom built internal 12 volt lithium battery. These
batteries will last a very long time. When a replacement becomes necessary, please contact
Tactical Technologies Inc. for pricing and delivery.
To install a new battery into the TX-600 belt transmitter, unzip the zipper found on the underside
of the belt. The battery fits snugly inside the belt, and is secured by friction. The old battery can
be removed by carefully pulling the battery out from the belt, and disconnecting the two-pin
molex-type connector found on the leads coming from the battery. Insert the new battery by
working it into the belt, taking care to ensure that it is orientated in the small manner as the
original battery. The tow pin molex-type connector should be joined with the mating connector
found inside the belt. Take care to mate the connectors according to the keyed tongue.
OPERATION
The TX-600 will only communicate with an appropriate MINDA receiver, such as the RX-400
pocket receiver, or the RX-500 portable/mobile/tabletop receiver.
The TX-600 is operational immediately upon inserting the battery.
The unit
is
equipped with an On/Off switch that is found inside the zipped compartment on the
underside of the belt. To turn the TX-600 ON, slide the switch with your finger to the ON position.
To turn the TX-600 off, slide the switch to the OFF position.
The TX-600 has two push-button transmit switches. One button is located at the center of each
of the two round 'silver' decorator stud found on the 'tounge' side of the belt. The buckle side of
the belt has two similar studs, but these DO NOT contain switches.
When the belt is being worn, the button closest to the FRONT of the body (or closest to the END
of the tongue of the belt) sends a RED ALARM to a MINDA receiver. The button closest to the
REAR of the body (or farthest away from the end of the toungue of the belt) sends a GREEN
