Remote Telemetry Systems are well suited to industrial switching applications where telemetry signals need to
be sent remotely from one location to another.
This system allows multiple transmitters to a single receiver or a single transmitter to multiple receivers.
Each Transmitter module accepts upto 8 pairs of ‘Volt Free’ contacts as inputs via screw terminals. Each
Receiver has 16 outputs arranged as 4 x 4 easy plug in connectors to interface to any combination of output
modules.
Any of the output modules connect directly to the receiver (cable supplied) to provide transistor switching or relay
outputs.

Modular Radio Telemetry System
200 Series
1 Configuring a Remote Telemetry System
(200Tx/201Tx -> 210Rx)
There are three Steps:
1. Pre-Configure the 200 or 201 series transmitter
2. Pre- Configure the 210Rx to operate with a 200 or 201 series transmitter
3. Marry a 200/201Tx to a 210Rx
1.1
Pre-Configure a 200/201 Transmitter Encoder
1. Mapping the 200/201 Transmitter Inputs to the 210 Receiver Outputs
The Remote telemetry system automatically maps the 8 transmitter input channels to 8 receiver output
channels. The ‘8/15’ option link on the transmitter allows selection of channels 1-8 or 9-15 on the receiver.
200/201 Tx Option Link
Open
Connected
210 Rx output Channels
1–8
9 – 15
2. Enable Option Links (ENABLE 1-8)
The 200 and 201 Transmitters have eight ‘Enable’ Option links which must be fitted in order for the
corresponding input to be valid (otherwise the 210Tx will ignore it). This enables applications where many
transmitters are used with a single 210Rx (many to one relationship)
3. Auto Transmit with Watchdog Mode ‘Auto Tx’
When the ‘Auto Tx’ link is made, the 200/201 Tx automatically transmits its data once within every 5
second period, in addition, channel 16 is allocated as a ‘system watchdog‘. As long as the 210Rx
continues to receive this signal then output ‘16’ is held ON. If for any reason (fault or RF interference) the
signal is not received for approx 20secs then output ‘16’ will drop out.

1.
2.
3.
Ensure option link J8 is open.
Apply power to the 210Rx, All output LEDS flash alternately. This is factory reset default state.
Apply power to any 200 or 201 Tx and briefly operate any input by shorting any of the input terminals on
the transmitter (ensure Enable link is fitted!), to force a transmit.
4. The 210Rx. LED2 flashes 5 times to indicate that the 210Rx is now configured for use with 200 / 201Tx.
5. Each time power is applied the 210Rx, LED2 flashes 5 times to show it is configured to operate with
200Tx transmitters.
6. Configuration is now complete and 200/201 transmitter unit(s) can be learned to the 210Rx receiver.
Note: Option links LK 1-16 have no affect on the operation of the remote telemetry system.

Marry a 200/201 Tx to a 210Rx
On the 200/201 Tx, remove the Link header ‘OPT1‘ (auto Tx). (prevents automatic transmission during
the learn process).
On the 210Rx Ensure option link J8 is open.
Apply power to the 210Rx, note that LED2 flashes 5 times to show it is configured for use with 200Tx
transmitters.
Briefly press the 210Rx Learn Switch: Note that the 210Rx Learn LED (LED 17) will flash.
Wait until the 210Rx Learn LED has stopped flashing but is still illuminated.
Apply power to any 200/201 Tx and briefly operate any input by shorting any of the input terminals on the
Transmitter (ensure Enable link is fitted!), to force a transmit.
Note that the 210Rx learn LED will turn off.
The learn cycle is now complete and the transmitter/encoder will operate the systems.
Erasing the 210Rx Receiver Outputs (Return to Factory Default State)
1.
2.
3.
4.
To completely erase the 210Rx decoder’s memory, press and hold the 210Rx learn switch.
The learn LED will illuminate
Hold the learn switch until the learn LED extinguishes (approx 10 seconds).
Release the learn button and all the output LED’s will now flash alternately to indicate that all encoder data
has been erased and the 210Rx has returned to factory default state.
Note: It is not possible erase individual transmitters.

200 Series
Connecting output Modules to the 210 Receiver
A range of ‘200’ series output modules are available which can be plugged into the 210 Receiver via the four
IDC header boxes on the receiver. The selection of output module will be dependant on the application. Please
see DS200S-1 for a summary the available modules.
1.6
Connecting an Antenna
The 210Rx has a 200mm flying lead cable (50ohm) with a panel mount BNC socket provided to mount on an
enclosure. This cable may be extended however please note that typically there is a 50% range reduction
with every 3metres of coax cable used!
For increasing range performance a +3dB gain antenna is available. This is supplied with wall mounting
bracket and 2metres of coax cable, it plugs in directly to the 210Rx BNC connector.
1.7
Range
The antenna choice and position directly controls the system range. Keep it clear of other metal in the system.
The best position by far, is protruding from the top of the product. This is often not desirable for practical or
ergonomic reasons and thus a compromise may be needed. If an internal antenna must be used then try to
keep it away from other metal items, and in particular large ones like transformers, batteries and PCB tracks
and earth planes.
Note that the space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself. All radio systems are dependant
on a radio signal being received through airspace.
The range quoted is the optimal in direct line of sight without obstacles and in good atmospheric conditions.
Range is affected by many things, for example local environmental conditions, atmospheric conditions,
interference from other radio transmitters. For evaluating the local environment please see our RF Meter
(DS006)
In very worse case applications the range quoted may be reduced to 30% of the optimal range stated.
1.8
Signal integrity
In systems where many encoders are in close proximity there may be occasions when, due to signal overlay
between encoders, it is difficult or impossible to guarantee system integrity. In such circumstances it is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the system performance is adequate for the purposes of the
installation.
1.9

All products are supplied with their relevant datasheets. These are also available for download from the website

This is a simple to use radio transmitter module which can
accept 8 pairs of ‘Volt free’ contacts inputs.
When an input occurs the transmitter will transmit a data packet
over the RF link to an associated receiver. (That has been
learnt into the transmitter). The transmitter continually monitors
the status of its ‘inputs’. It transmits a signal on any input
change and also can be set to transmit automatically every 15
seconds .
