VEMCO – VR100 Receiver Operating Manual – Page 43
4.3.4 Sensor Transmitters (4)
The Sensor transmitters menu, a sub-menu of the Config menu, contains three sub-menus. Each sub-menu
allows sensor transmitters to be set up in the receiver so the data will be displayed in the correct units. A
total of 750 sensor transmitters may be set up in the receiver at one time. The sub-menus are (in order):
Coded, Cont One, and Cont Two.
When the VR100 has 750 tags setup, meaning the tag storage capabilities are full, a
new tag can’t be entered until an existing tag is deleted. To delete a tag, first
highlight the tag by either scrolling through the list of entered serial numbers or by
entering the serial number on the keypad. When the desired tag is highlighted,
select Delete in the bottom left corner of the screen (press the left selection button).
A confirmation screen will appear to verify that you want to delete the tag. Note that
the delete function is only available when the sensor database is full.
Information must be entered for sensor transmitters for the data to be displayed in the correct units. Data
received from coded sensor transmitters can be displayed without this information stored in the receiver,
but it will be raw data and need to be converted manually. The necessary information is entered by
following the steps below.
