Installation
General Installation Notes:
- Position receivers at least 2 meters above ground level.
- Ensure no obstacles are between the receiver and the transmitter's operating area.
- Install receivers at a suitable distance from high-voltage electrical circuits, alarm systems, and other sources of interference. Keep receivers at least 2 meters apart.
- Use a 0.5 mm² cable with three conductors for decoder card connections.
- Route power cables and receiver connection cables separately, or use screened cables.
- Feed cables through the mounting bracket, using the provided cable grip, and fix with screws.
- Connect wires to the electronic card terminals without removing the card from its enclosure.
- Insert aerial rods to form a dipole aerial (horizontal or vertical).
- Ensure both aerials are fixed on the same line for optimal reception.
- Fit the enclosure onto the mounting bracket.
Electrical Connections: Units can be connected in various ways, including single-channel and multi-channel systems. Refer to figures 16-21 for specific connection diagrams.
Encoding Procedures
SL Version Encoding:
- Code Generation: Transmitters are supplied with a random code. To generate a new code, open the transmitter, press and hold an activation button (P), then press and hold the code generation button (Pg) for approximately 1 second. The LED will flash to confirm code generation.
- Memorizing Transmitter Code on Decoder Card: Switch on the receiver system. Press and hold the transmitter's activation button (P). Press and hold the self-learning button (SW1) on the decoder card. Release the transmitter button (P), then release the decoder button (SW1).
- Transmitter Code Duplication: Place two transmitters together. Press and hold the activation button (P) on the sample transmitter, then press the activation button (P) on the transmitter to be encoded.
- Code Protection: Remove the jumper LK1 on the transmitter to prevent unauthorized code duplication. Replacing LK1 is necessary for future code duplication.
DS Version Encoding:
- Set the dip-switches (DS1) on the receiver and transmitter cards to ON or OFF in any desired combination. Refer to figures 31-33 and 35 for switch positions.
- Single-channel system: Set receiver dip-switches and repeat the same coding on the transmitter.
- Two-channel system: Set the first 8 dip-switches on the main receiver (RX1) and then repeat the same coding on the transmitter (TX1). The last 4 dip-switches on RX1 should be OFF.
- Two-channel plus system: Set the first 8 dip-switches on the main receiver (RXA) and repeat on individual receivers (RX1, RX2, etc.). The last 4 dip-switches on individual receivers should be set to any combination except all OFF.
- Four-channel system: Follow the two-channel procedure, alternating dip-switch No. 1 for the third and fourth channels. Ensure no duplicate codes are used across receivers.
Maintenance
PLUS 433 E receivers and decoder cards require no maintenance. SL/DS model transmitters require battery replacement when the range decreases. Refer to figures 28 and 34 for battery access.
