The Radio set uses the latest ‘Narrow Band’ Crystal controlled FM Radio Circuitry operating at 434.075MHz for reliable operation. Supplied ready to operate, the only connections required are to the receiver/decoder. All connections are via screw terminals. A simple ‘Switch link’ is used to set the address of the transmitter and the receiver. This is used to enable one or many transmitters to operate one or many receivers. The transmitter requires a PP3 type battery (Supplied) and is supplied with an Aluminium pocket clip Standard Products Part Number Description 114C1-075FR6 Narrow Band Transmitter Encoder 1 Switch 114C3-075FR6 Narrow Band Transmitter Encoder 3 Switches 117C4-075FR7 Narrow Band Receiver Decoder 4 Relays Care and Maintenance The Transmitter enclosure is shower proof (IP54) do not immerse in water! Applications Firmly fix the receiver unit approx. 2metres from the ground, ideally in direct sight of the transmitter. Obstacles between transmitter and receiver will reduce range! Although the system is supplied pre-wired for a specific Clay Trap Release (See below). The remote Control system may be configured for many different applications. Each switch on the transmitter operates one of the relays on the receiver unit. The Relay output will operates for the duration of the transmitter switch press. Output Relay ‘1’ has a time delay circuit included. This is factory set to approx ½ second momentary delay. DS114-8 Oct ‘03 ©2002 Reg. No. 227 4001, England Page 1 TRAP REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS (SW ADDRESSING) Addressing Each transmitter and receiver contains an address Switch. This is used to set the identity of the unit. In order for a receiver to respond to a transmitter, the addressees must match,. This enables the user to set individual transmitter and receivers to operate or not operate with each other. It also enables multiple systems to operate within the same vicinity without causing interference. Each system is supplied ready configured, and does not need to be altered. However, if you require a different address (e.g. if you have two systems in close proximity or wish to have several receivers to one transmitter etc); There are 8 address ‘Switches’ which the transmitter and receiver use to identify themselves. The Receiver and Transmitter units must have the same Address ‘Switches’ in order to recognise each others signal. The following table shows the Circuit board address ‘Switches’ for the transmitter and receiver circuit boards. Address Number Transmitter Address ‘SW1’ Receiver Address ‘LK1’ 1 A1 1 2 A2 2 3 A3 3 4 A4 4 5 A5 5 6 A6 6 7 A7 7 8 A8 8 Relay Output Connections Upto 4 relays are provided on the receiver output. The relay output provides a ‘switch’ output which operates when the transmitter switch is pressed. Each relay has the connections as below. NC COM NO NO NC COM Relay Connections When Transmitter NOT Operating Relay Connections When Transmitter OPERATING Relay output ‘1’ provides a longer momentary output (approx ½ second) this may be removed by adding Link 6 on the PCB. The outputs are driven from a Microcontroller and can be customised to specific requirements. Relay Output Configuration The two option links OPT1, OPT2 (to the left of the antenna connector on the Rx PCB) set the action of the relay outputs according to the following table. Please note that these can be customised on request.

Warning : Not all Clay Traps have the same wiring convention! The system is pre-wired (as diagram below) to operate with most trap releases, before connecting, CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS. (using a voltmeter) if you are in any doubt, DO NOT CONNECT THE SYSTEM, consult a qualified Electrician. Although the system operates on 12/24V damage may occur to the receiver unit if wrong connections are made. Installation Notes 1. Connect Power to the Receiver unit. The receiver unit requires the following connections to operate 12V supply (Brown wire as supplied) OV Supply (Yell/GRN wire as supplied) These may not match the wire colours on your Trap! 2. When the Receiver unit has power connected the Power LED will illuminate. This must be ‘on’ for the system to operate. 3. Check operation of the Remote Control 4. When the power LED is ‘on’ the Remote Control System may be operated, Check operation by firing the transmitter and check that; • The LED on the transmitter illuminates • The Rx Data LED on the Receiver unit (next to the power LED) illuminates. If this does not work then check your Switch addresses on the transmitter and receiver. 5. Check the Wiring to the Trap 6. The receiver has been pre-wired to the following Circuit 117 Receiver Unit 12V Relay Output 0V COM N.C. N.O. Grn / Yell Brown Blue 0V 12V Switched Output 7. When operated, the receiver provides an output (Blue Wire) which momentarily connects to 0V. 8. Alternative Wiring : The switched output may be connected in several ways, please see the ‘Relay Output Connections section. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. DS114-8 Oct ‘03 ©2002 Reg.
