5 Loc3 Series Transmitters

5.5 Remote the Operation of transmitter

The Loc3 series transmitters can be remotely operated from the receiver. This is an optional feature and requires the transmitter
radio link option to be installed in both the vLoc3 series receiver and the Loc3 series transmitter. This feature is only available on
the Loc3 series transmitters and is a factory fit option so it must be requested at the time of ordering. The range of the radio link
depends on having a clear “line of sight” between Rx and Tx but is typically around 300m (984ft).

Linking a transmitter to a receiver:
Switch on the transmitter, press the information button repeatedly to scroll through the options until the “RECEIVER LINK
DISABLED” option is displayed.

Press the “+” key to enter the Receiver Link menu.

B A C K

Press the “+” or “-” key to highlight the “ENABLE” option, then press the “F” key to start the process. The display will show the
message “WAIT” until the setup is complete.
An ID number-will now be displayed at the bottom of the screen for identification purposes.

The transmitter is now waiting to connect to a receiver.
Either press the “I” button or use the “+” and “-“ keys to highlight “BACK” then “F” key to exit back to the main screen.

When in the main screen a “beacon” icon will be displayed on the right-hand side. When the icon is flashing the transmitter
is waiting to connect to a receiver. The flashing will stop when successfully connected to the receiver. If no icon is visible this
indicates that the Receiver Radio Link has not been activated.

L 2

While the icon on the transmitter is flashing, indicating that it is waiting to connect to a receiver, switch on the vLoc3-Pro receiver
and enter the user menu by pressing and holding the information button. Scroll down the menu options until Transmitter Link is
highlighted.

NOTE:

The transmitter and receiver sides of the radio links can be switched on in any order.
