BOGEY-BOARD functional overview:
BOGEY-BOARD is
supplied with a small
wire antenna using this it
is possible to achieve up
to 150m range.
NOTE: An antenna
ground point is also
provided for those
wishing to change the
antenna*
Transmit type select Closed: Latching switch
Open: – Momentary switch
BOGEY-BOARD has four
inputs. Each requires a
volt free switch in order
to operate.
TIP: Minimise the length
of wires between the
board and your switch
*Whilst BOGEY-BOARD is supplied
with a battery connector for use
with a 9V PP3 battery, it is
designed to operate using any
voltage may be applied between
4.5Vdc and 12Vdc
4.5Vdc – 12Vdc
LEDs:
Green – Transmit
Red – Ack fail
Operational Characteristics
The BOGEY-BOARD is very simple to connect and use. Wire a switch to any one or many of the inputs and close
the contact send a signal. As default the BOGEY-BOARD is designed for use with momentary buttons - to send a
signal continuously while a button is pressed. As such it will replicate a handheld transmitter.
Transmit type select:
Latching button operation:
The BOGEY-BOARD can be configured to work with a latching push button, where by it will send a signal only
each time the input changes its status - it sends three packets when a switch is closed and three more when it is
opened. Latching button is enabled the BOGEY-BOARD will request an acknowledgement from any receiver it is
paired to after a transmission. If no ack is received then the BOGEY-BAORD will re-try. After 3 failed attempts it
will flash its red LED 10 times.
Momentary button operation:
The BOGEY-BOARD can operate with momentary push switches. In this mode it will send data continuously while
an button is closed over its input.
LEDs
Green LED: Flashes as each transmission is sent
RED LED: Shows a failed transmission in request acknowledge mode.
Indicates LOW BATTERY - flashes slowly.
*Soldering to or otherwise modifying the BOGEY-BOARD will invalidate the warranty.
Compatible receivers:
The BOGEY-BAORD is a versatile remote control and as such is
compatible with nearly all RF Solutions 868MHz receivers.
