Sistema FIREMASTER III "Millennium" Manuale di istruzioni

microcontroller system for the controlled charging management and the

mains power supply. NOTE: the Battery Packs are all IDENTICAL each

other and can be interchanged without limitations both among the the

various RX-24B Units and the TX-2000 base Unit. (See the specific chapter

for details).

15. RX24-B Remote Unit. This section (separable from the other) contains: the

whole electronic circuitry, the radio communication system and the power

drivers for the fire lines.

16. Label with data for the instrument's identification

17. Carrying handle.

18. Butterfly latches to secure the RX24-B Unit to the Battery Pack (14). Make

sure these latches are always PERFECTLY LOCKED both during the use

and transport!

19. Butterfly latches for the top cover.

20. Standard RS-232 SERIAL PORT. DB-9 male connector. It is used to

connect the RX24-B Unit to a PC. It will be used to download eventual

update programs, patches and customizations, supplied by Parente

Fireworks, DO NOT USE a standard commercial RS-232 cable, but use

always the special cable (red marking) supplied with the instrument (to

implement such a function , it will be sent always specific instructions).

21. Standard RS-485 SERIAL PORT. DB-9 female connector. It is used to

connect the Remote Unit RX24-B to other Units and to the base Unit

TX2000: to be used if a CABLE CONNECTION is preferred to the

standard RADIO LINK (or when a MIXED connection, cable+radio) is

realized. This connection needs ONLY TWO WIRES (pins 1-2-6 and 4-5-

9). The third wire (comune) connection to pins 3-7-8 IS NOT

MANDATORY.

22. R.F. OUTPUT - BNC connector. Output for test purposes only. It is

coupled with a 1pF capacitor and allows to monitor the output R.F. signal

with an oscilloscope or a frequency counter.

23. Main Antenna. Turret for the attachment of the whip antenna supplied

with the instrument. The antenna resonates at λ/4 on 40,675MHz.

NOTE: use the original antenna only.
