alarm to a MINDA receiver. Press and hold either button for at least 1 second to transmit your
alarm.
The TX-600 may be programmed to automatically transmit a GREEN or RED 'confidence alarm'.
This signal may be programmed to transmit every few seconds or every few minutes. The timing
of this transmission begins upon sliding the On/Off switch to the ON position. See the section on
CONFIDENCE MODE for more details.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY TRANSMITTED
Whenever a ‘MINDA’ transmitter operates, the actual digital data message transmitted contains
all of the following pieces of information, repeated a number of times:
< I am a ‘MINDA’ transmitter >
and < My Family Identity is ‘xxx’ >
and < I am Unit I.D. ‘y’>
and < My alarm status is ‘red/green’ >
and < My battery status is ‘OK/low’ >
If the first two pieces of data in the above message exactly match the information programmed
into the ‘MINDA’ receiver, then the rest of the information will be decoded and displayed on the
LEDs. If they do not match, the entire message is ignored.
UNIT IDENTITIES
A MINDA TX-600 Intelligent Transmitter can have each of its four possible Unit Identities (1, 2, 3
or 4) configured to signal in different ways and with different timings to suit particular operational
needs.
The user can easily alter the pre-programmed Unit Identity Code (shown on the label on the
inside of the belt) whenever required.
CHANGING THE UNIT IDENTITY
A permanently change of the Unit Identity of a MINDA TX-600 transmitter must be performed at
the factory.
The Unit Identity of the TX-500 transmitter can be temporarily changed by simultaneously holding
down both push buttons for about 2 seconds. Each time the two buttons are pressed together
the sequence will cycle through all four possible identities (ie. 1,2,3,4,1,2,3...) but
note that
if the
power supply is interrupted by switching off or changing the battery the transmitter will revert to its
start-up Unit I.D. once power is re-applied.
Please note:
This user option can, if required, be modified in format or completely inhibited by suitably re-
programming the unit.
Note:
Check that you know the Unit Identity (1,2,3,or 4) of the transmitter that you intend to use
by sending a test signal to a ‘MINDA’ receiver and noting which of its LEDs illuminates. If
necessary, change the Unit Identity to the one you require.
ANTENNA
The transmitter's antenna is an internal small black wire.
Never
attempt to shorten, fold up or
modify the transmitter antenna since such action will seriously degrade the range of the MINDA
system.
