DX series remote control boards
These simple application boards use the firmware
and signalling protocols of the existing CXTCXR
odule products, interfaced with a choice of SIL
package radio modules. A single relay output is
provided, controlled by a pair of logic (or switch)
inputs on the transmitter. Latched or momentary
operation is selectable.
The data format employed has a 16 bit address,
which can be user programmed via an RS232
compatible input

Operating modes
Device operation is set up by a 3 pin jumper on the receiver board, selecting latched on/off or momentary
'push button' operation
Programming the address
These units employ a sub-set of the programming commands used by standard CTX/CRX modules.
Address is set with the command AVALUE
As the SI pin is dedicated to serial communication only, the ‘ENABLESERIALMODE’ command string is NOT
required.
A 2400 baud true RS232 format’ (1 start bit, 8 data, 1or 2 stop bits, no parity) is used, connected to the PGM
pin of the power connector.
Commands
Function
AVALUE bbbbb
set value for unit address
<cr>
process entry
/
clear all buffers
bbbbb = address (up to 65535, in decimal)
To successfully program the unit it must be in active state
A receiver board must simply be powered
A transmitter board must be powered, with BOTH inputs grounded
(in this state it will listen to the serial pin, but will not transmit)
Each command sequence must end with a carriage return (ascii 13)
