There are two slide switches on the unit: SW1 Standard Power- The RF module is powered on continuously. The transmitter module can communicate wireless at any time. Save Power The RF module is powered on only when there is data activity on the RS232 port, otherwise the RF module is set to sleep mode to save power. This mode may be selected when the wireless transmitter is connected & powered by a battery powered device. While the RF module is in sleep mode, there is no wireless communication between the transmitter & receiver modules. The RF module can only be waken from the RS232 device when there is data activity. SW2 Normal The slide switch should be set to Normal when the transmitter is connected to an RS232 device. CONFIG The slide switch should be set to Config when the transmitter is connected to the PC for configuration.

2 Setup and Configuration When mounting your wireless transmitter, care should be taken to make sure it is as far away from any metal objects. Otherwise, it has the potential to interfere with the way the unit radiates and may cause signal lose or possibly even the inability to communicate at all with your receiver. When installing your wireless transmitter it is important to position your device in such a way as to optimize the antenna location within what s known as the Fresnel Zone. The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your transmitter and receiver. FRESNEL ZONE RECEIVER TRANSMITTER Figure 2-9 Fresnel Zone In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio waves travel must be free of all obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially metal) will decrease the communication range between your transmitter and receiver. Also, Transmission over half of the Fresnel zone ends up being obstructed by the earth resulting in significant reduction in range. To avoid this problem, the transmitter should be mounted high enough off of the ground so that the earth does not interfere with the central diameter of the Fresnel zone. NOTE: It is important to understand that the environment may change over time due to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction, etc. If new obstacles exist between your transmitter and receiver, the devices can be raised on one end or on both ends to hopefully clear the Fresnel Zone of obstructions. NOTE: No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By definition, colocation is when another radio device or it s antenna is located within 20 cm of your receiver/transmitter and can transmit simultaneously with your unit. NOTE: Never install the WRS232 wireless transmitters within 20 cm or less from each other. 3-1

Transmitter/Receiver Configuration 3 Section 3 Transmitter/Receiver Configuration The Configuration CD comes with a Wizard software which allows the user to read or change the configuration of the transmitter/receiver. You need to install the software by following the menus. Once the wizard software is installed, you can configure the transmitter (Thru RS232 connection) or receiver (Thru USB connection) from the PC software. Your PC should meet the following minimum requirements in order to install and operate the wizard software: Windows 2000, XP, or Vista 200 MB of Hard drive 256 MB of RAM 1 CD ROM drive One USB and one RS232 port The factory default settings for the transmitter/ receiver modules are: Baud Rate: 9600 BPS Channel No. = 1 You can change the baud rate and/or the channel number for the transmitter/ receiver using the wizard software. The baud rate and channel number for the transmitter should always match the receiver settings, otherwise the two modules will not communicate. The Baud rate can be set to anywhere from 1200 to 230,400 BPS. The Channel number can be set to channels 1 thru 12. 3-1 Multiple Transmitters When using one transmitter with one receiver, there is no need to change the channel number. However, one receiver can communicate with multiple transmitters (Up to 12) one at a time by changing the channel number of the receiver module to match the transmitter module. So if there are five transmitters, they should be configured to Channels 1 thru 5. Transmitter #1 set to Channel 1 Transmitter #2 set to Channel 2 ---- ---- Transmitter #5 set to Channel 5 Then the receiver can be set to channel 1 to communicate with transmitter #1, or channel 2 to communicate with transmitter #2, and so on and so forth. 3-1

3 Transmitter/Receiver Configuration 3.2 Environment/Operating Conditions The wireless transmitter and receiver modules have been designed to be operated in a clean and dry indoor environment. Care should be taken to prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals and extreme cold or hot temperature that are outside the specifications listed in this manual. 3.2.1 Operating Conditions The following is a list of basic good practice you should apply when operating your wireless system. Never operate your wireless device outside the recommended environmental limits specified in this manual. Never operate your wireless device in flammable or explosive environments. Never use your wireless device in medical, nuclear or other other dangerous applications were failure can cause damage or harm. No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By definition, co-location is when another radio device or it s antenna is located within 20 cm of your transmitter and can transmit simultaneously with your unit. Never install receiver/transmitters within 20 cm or less from each other. Never install and/or operate your transmitter/receiver closer than 20 cm to nearby persons. 3-2

Transmitter/Receiver Configuration 3 3.3 Determining and Maximizing Range NOTE: The available maximum range specified for this wireless system is only achievable under optimum installation conditions. Mounting height, obstructions in your Fresnel Zone and ambient conditions can affect the signal strength resulting in a shorter range between your transmitter and receiver unit. The following recommendations will help to improve the range of your wireless system. Position your receiver in a central location When multiple transmitters are in operation, position your receiver unit in a central space if possible in equal distance to each wireless transmitter. WRS232 STORAGE ROOM WRS232 CHAN 1 WRS232 CHAN 2 MANUFACTURING AREA WRS232 WRS232 CONTROL ROOM RECEIVER PC CHAN 6 MANUFACTURING AREA WRS232 CHAN 5 CHAN 3 CHAN 4 OFFICE OFFICE Figure 3-1 Determining Maximum Range Test your system before permanent mounting Before permanently mounting your transmitters in your application try moving the devices to different locations and mounting angles to determine what installation achieves the best signal strength. Move your system components higher off the floor and away from exterior walls Avoid installing your system components too close to the floor or near your buildings exterior walls. The closer your transmitter and receiver unit are the greater the interference and lose of signal strength will be. Maintain a line of sight (LOS) between transmitter/receiver Maintaining a clear line of sight between your transmitter and receiver unit will produce improved signal strength over a system that has obstacles blocking it. 3-3

3 Transmitter/Receiver Configuration Maintain a constant ambient temperature environment Maintaining a constant ambient temperature environment is important to achieving maximum signal strength. Exposing your system components to extreme hot or cold temperatures, or sudden changes in ambient conditions will have an effect on the performance of your system. 3.4 Operation in Buildings The Wireless Transmitter sends wireless data transmissions to a receiver connected to your PC. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves. A radio signal becomes weaker the further it travels. Range is decreased by different types of materials found in the direction of the signals propagation. Radio waves can penetrate most types of wall materials, but they are dampened more than they would be by a direct line-of-sight installation. 3.5 Building Materials Examples of how different types of wall material may reduce your signal: Material Type Possible Signal Reduction Wood, Plaster, Sheetrock, Uncoated 0 to 10% Glass w/o Metal, Fiberglass Brick, Pressboard 5 to 35% Reinforced Concrete 10 to 90% Metal Walls, Metal Doors, Elevators, Metal Stair Cases, Metal Piping, 90 to 100% Metal Mesh, Metal Screening Figure 3-2 Operation In Buildings Avoid dampening materials by repositioning the transmitting and/or receiver. 3.6. Penetration Angle of Radio Waves through Walls The angle at which the transmitted radio signal hits a wall is very important and also has a big effect on maximizing range. Signals between your transmitter should be transmitted as directly as possible. 3-4
