Radio signals of the PTM 200C device are event-controlled (energy bow is pressed/released)
with contact nipple code (channel/state) and unique device identification (fixed 32-bit ID).
When operating more than one nipple at the same time, note that PTM 200C sends multiple-
button code combinations:
• N-message: One or two contact nipples have been pressed when activating the
energy generator
Æ Message with nipple code and pressed/released event status of the
energy bow is sent.
• U-message: No contact nipple was pressed when activating the energy generator,
or 3 or 4 nipples have been pressed Æ Message with pressed/released event status
of the energy bow is sent and the information if either none or more than two nipples
have been pressed. Note that it can’t be differentiated if 3 or if 4 nipples have been
pressed.
Note: Due to the mechanical hysteresis of the energy bow, in most rocker switch
device implementations, pressing the rocker sends an N-message and releasing the
rocker sends a U-message!
