A MINDA TX-600 intelligent transmitter can be programmed so that for any or all of the four
identities it can assume a GREEN or RED transmission as an “I’m here and OK” signal.
In order for confidence to be transmitted, the transmitter must be in the MODE of the
programmed signal.
The transmitter defaults to GREEN mode upon reset, or when it is turned on.
If Confidence mode is programmed for GREEN MODE -
Transmitter 'starts up' in GREEN MODE, therefore confidence is automatically enabled upon start
up.
Confidence signal will be transmitted at each interval.
If a RED alarm is pressed manually - confidence mode is temporarily disabled.
To re-start confidence mode, press GREEN alarm manually
.
If Confidence mode is programmed for RED MODE -
Transmitter 'starts up' in GREEN MODE, therefore confidence sequence must be STARTED by
manually activating a RED alarm.
Confidence signal will then be transmitted at each interval.
If a GREEN alarm is pressed manually - confidence mode is temporarily disabled.
To re-start confidence mode, press RED alarm manually.
...Here's an idea...
If a MINDA receiver has been programmed (1) to remain silent whenever a valid ‘green’
transmission is received, and (2) to signal an alarm if nothing is heard from one or more of its
associated transmitters within a pre-designated period of time, then the following scenario
becomes possible:
When an initial ‘green’ transmission is received from any of its associated transmitters the
receiver will remain silent and one of four pre-programmed internal time-clocks within it will start
counting. Each subsequent ‘green’ transmission from that same transmitter unit will again be
received silently and reset the time-clock to zero. If, however, the pre-set time period elapses
before another ‘green’ signal has been received then the appropriate LED on the receiver will
begin to flash and a ‘Lost Signal’ audible alarm will be signaled. Until the person using the
receiver pushes the ‘RESET’ button to clear the audible and visual alarms, a warning alert tone
will continue to be emitted at the pre-programmed interval(s).
If a different transmitter unit (but of the same family) is then received, another time-clock
commences operation independently in the same way as described above. If a valid ‘red’ alarm
signal is received from any of its associated transmitters the receiver will, of course, generate all
of the normal audible and switching alarms.
In a situation where a receiver and an intelligent MINDA TX-600 transmitter are being used to
protect a person close-by but out of sight, the regular confidence transmission will keep the
receiver silenced all the while it is present. If the transmitter moves out of radio range, its battery
fails, or it is otherwise disabled the receiver will emit an alarm signal as soon as the confidence
signal has been missing for the pre-programmed period of time. This enables, for example, a VIP
to be protected at night by a bodyguard in an adjoining room, or a person going into a potentially
hazardous situation to be supported by a back-up team in a vehicle close-by. The intelligent
MINDA transmitter will send the confidence signals entirely automatically without disturbing the
user unless he or she wishes to send a ‘red’ alarm signal in the usual way.
