Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ProScale/ProPanel RF receiver system. This radio
receiver unit is designed to be used in conjunction with Accurate Technology,
Inc. ProScale™ linear measuring systems that are equipped with integral RF
transmitters (display firmware version 2.05 or above).
The purpose of this system is to provide a one-way wireless data communication
channel between a ProScale measuring system and a computer or other
computing device. Depending on the receiver model that you have purchased,
the unit has the ability to receive signals from either a single ProScale display or
several displays.
The receiver provides RS-232 serial data in standard ASCII text format and may
be configured for various output formats. In addition, the receiver will support
standard baud rates from 2400 to 115200 bits per second.
The following is a list of features for the ProScale RF receiver:
• Six output formats to support various data collection requirements.
• Programmable data field delimiter character.
• Programmable line terminator.
• Record start sentinel character enable/disable.
• Character echo enable/disable.
• Baud rate selection.
• System ID selection. Prevents interference from multiple in-range
systems.
• Typical signal range: 50’ to 100’ depending on the environment.
• Serial output transmit/receive reversal via jumper selection (null
modem). Allows unit to switch from slave mode (PC use) to master
mode (for use with other devices).
• Receiver configuration is stored in non-volatile memory.
Configuration is completed using a standard terminal program such
as HyperTerminal™.
