2.3. CONTROLLER UNIT SWITCH OPERATION.
2.3.1. Unit Power Control. Depress the “ON” switch for one second to turn the
power on to the Controller Unit when the Antenna Assembly is attached. Depress the
“OFF” switch to turn the power off to the Controller Unit. The power is off when the
Antenna Assembly is removed.
2.3.2. Display Panel Light Dimmer Circuit. Depress the “DIM” switch to toggle
the display panel lights dim or bright.
2.3.3. Select Remote Units. Depress “1” through “8” switches to select
independently the Remote Units that will communicate with the Controller Unit. Any
combination of the eight Remote Units may be selected. The yellow SELECT light on
the switch indicates if the Remote Unit programmed for that switch is selected. Press
the switch again and the yellow SELECT light for that Remote Unit will be turned off
indicating the Remote Unit is not selected.
2.3.4. Request Remote Unit Status. Depress “STATUS” switch to transmit a
status request signal to the selected Remote Units. The selected Remote Units will
transmit their current status to the Controller Unit. If none of the Remote Units are
selected, the Controller Unit will request status from all eight Remote Units. If the
Controller Unit is within range of the Remote Unit transmitter, the status of the selected
Remote Unit will be presented on the display panel with a steady light. If the Controller
Unit is out of range of the Remote Unit transmitter, the status will be assumed from the
last command sent to that Remote Unit. In that case the assumed status of the Remote
Unit will flash on the display panel.
2.3.5. Arm the Remote Unit. Depress the “ARM” switch for 1/2 second and the
Controller Unit will transmit the Arm command to the selected Remote Units. The red
ARMED light at the selected Remote Units will flash on the Controller Unit display panel
until the firing capacitor charging time is completed. The Controller Unit then requests
status of the selected Remote Units. If the Controller Unit is within range of the selected
Remote Unit transmitter, the ARMED red light for that Remote Unit will be on steady on
the Controller Unit display panel. If the Controller Unit is out of range of the selected
Remote Unit transmitter, the red ARMED light for that Remote Unit will continue to flash
on the Controller Unit display panel. If the Fire command is not sent within 60 seconds,
the system will disarm automatically.
