3 Transmitter Setup & Installation Section 3 – Transmitter Setup & Installation 3.1 Setup and Configuration 3.1.1 Connecting Your Device Connect the USB cable to your transmitter unit and also to an available USB port on your computer. See figure below. The USB cable is provided in the box with your receiver unit. The same cable is used for programming your transmitter and for connecting your receiver. Connect this end of your USB cable to your PC Connect this end of your USB cable to your receiver.
Transmitter Setup & Installation 3 NOTE: The sample rate you set will have the most direct affect on the life of the battery in your End Device. It is recommended that you set the longest sample time that your application can live with to extend time between battery replacements. See Section 6 for more information on battery life. RF Network Settings: RF Channel This setting determines the operating channel on which RF connections are made between the transmitter and receiver.
3 Transmitter Setup & Installation STEP 2. Launch Setup Utility Program. To launch the End Device setup utility program on your PC begin by accessing the “Programs” list under your “Start Menu”. Scroll through the list of to find the Omega TC-Central folder, then select the End Device Configuration Program. Figure 3-3. Select End Device Screen STEP 3. Programming your settings into your End Device Figure 3-4.

Transmitter Setup & Installation 3 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 End Device and receiver. Also, If the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground, over half of the Fresnel zone ends up being obstructed by the earth resulting in significant reduction in range.
3 Transmitter Setup & Installation 3.3 IR Sensor Connection Your transmitter features a 5-pin M12 receptacle providing a reliable connection to the IR Sensor Head. 3.4 Battery Replacement To install or replace the battery in your End Device you must first remove Lid of the enclosure. This will allow you to access the battery compartment. DEVICE BATTERY Figure 3-12. Battery Placement Your End Device is equipped with a “C” size lithium power cell assembly. Omega Part Number: UWTC-BATT-C.
System Operation 4 Section 4 – System Operation 4.1 Introduction Compared to wired systems, a wireless system provides much simpler installation. Based on the physical principle of the propagation of radio waves, certain basic conditions should be observed. The following simple recommendations are provided to Insure proper installation and correct operation of your wireless system. 4.2 RF Communication Basics The Model UWXL-24-IR-1 sends wireless transmissions to a receiver.
4 System Operation 4.4 Connector/Transmitter Operation 4.4.1 Button Operation (1.) ON/OFF The ON/OFF button on the main circuit board of your transmitter is used to turn your unit on or off. (2.) SETUP The SETUP button on the main circuit board of your transmitter is only used during the setup and configuration of your unit. See Section 3.1.2 for more information. 3 4 1 2 Figure 4-2. Transmitter Button Operation (1) “ON/OFF” Button (2) “SETUP” Button (3) Transmit Indicator (4) Battery Indicator 4.4.
System Operation 4 4.5 Environment/Operating Conditions 4.5.1 Environment Omega’s wireless end devices and receiver units have been designed to be fixed mounted and 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. 4.5.
4 System Operation • Never operate your wireless device or receiver outside the recommended environmental limits specified in this manual.• Never operate your wireless end device or receiver in flammable or explosive environments. • Never use your wireless end device or receiver in medical, nuclear or other dangerous applications where an interruption of readings can cause damage or harm.
System Operation 4 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 to close to the floor or near your buildings exterior walls.
4 System Operation 4.7 Antenna Basics By definition, an antenna is a device used to transform an RF signal, traveling on a conductor, into an electromagnetic wave in free space. Antennas demonstrate a property known as reciprocity, this means that an antenna will always maintain the same characteristics regardless if it is used to transmit or receive. Most antennas are resonant devices, which means they operate efficiently over a relatively very narrow frequency band.
5 Repeater Mounting and Installation 4.8.2 Vertical Antenna Placement If your transmitter is mounded in a vertical position in your application you should mount your receiving so that the same polarization is achieved with the receiving antenna. As shown in the “Vertical” example Fig 4-5. ANTENNA UWTC SERIES WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER USB TX RX SB PWR 2.4 GHz ® OMEGA ENGINEERING, INC. Stamford, CT 06907 ! FCC ID: OUR–XBEEPRO IC #4214A–XBEEPRO PWR This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
4 System Operation 4.10 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life Many factors such as ambient temperature and transmission rate can have a major affect on the life of the battery used in your transmitter. The transmit rate is the biggest factor in the life of your battery. The longer the transmit rate you set, the longer the battery in your device will last.
