 2   RADIO TRANSCEIVER MANUAL  SECTION 1 Please note:  This manual will only discuss the conditions governing regulations,  not the overall system.  To understand the complete unit package, installation, operation  and maintenance, ALL equipment manuals should be read thoroughly.   POLAR RADIO REMOTE SYSTEM  This device complies with Part 15 of FCC & RSS-Gen of IC rules.  Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  (1)  This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)  This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  Le present appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence.  L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.  CAUTION : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Atlas polar Company Ltd., could void the users authority to operate this equipment.   NOTE:  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or manufacturer for further assistance.  RSS-Gen Notices for Transmitter Antenna  Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.  To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
 3   RADIO TRANSCEIVER MANUAL  SECTION 1 gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.  This radio transmitter (IC: 6272A-60068201) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in this document with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.  Antenna types not included in this document, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicted for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.  Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’une type et d’un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industire Canada.  Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance istrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.  Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 6272A-6006820) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pur fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne.  Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.

 1   RADIO TRANSCEIVER MANUAL  SECTION 3                   SECTION THREE   OPERATION THEORY
 2   RADIO TRANSCEIVER MANUAL  SECTION 3 OPERATION THEORY   The Polar Radio Remote Control System consists of a wireless transceiver that is connected to the Polar actuator (purchased separately).  All communicated information between the transceiver is in a digital format and works on the 900 MHz frequency.  FREQUENCY HOPPING DESCRIPTION  The transceiver use 50 equally spaced frequencies (902 TO 928 MHz).  The transceiver  has a stored unique random stepping sequence throughout the 50 channels. The random stepping sequence will utilize all 50 channels, and continue to repeat the same sequence during its communication.   The transmitter and receiver portion of the transceiver have identical bandwidth for the channel.  The hopping system doesn’t use any intelligence or coordinate with any other FHSS system operating in vicinity in any way and its algorithm doesn’t change its hopping sequence to avoid any collision, hence the system complies with the non-coordination requirement stated by FCC & IC.  The transceiver communicates on a frequency hopping, spread spectrum algorithm.  The hopping sequence is unique for each transceiver and therefore the communication link is immune to interference from other radios.  There is a setup procedure that is required to establish the hopping sequence between the transceiver. This allows the ability of swapping transmitters, receivers, or programming multiple transmitters for use with one receiver.  Once the communication link between one transceiver is established, another tuned transmitter cannot interfere unless the first link (other transmitter) is disconnected.    The receiver has a safety algorithm to protect against undesirable interference.  The safety algorithm not only brings all functions to a neutral state but also closes the safety dump valve, ensuring no unwanted movement of the crane.         The receiver must be powered up before the transmitter. When the transmitter is powered, there will be a 1 second delay before communication. This is to allow transceiver to synchronization.  When the communication task is completed, the transmitter should be turned off with the  E-stop engaged to preserve battery power. If the communication has been stopped due to pressing of an E-Stop, powering down, or loss of range, the communication may be resumed by cycling the E-stop.

Carrier Frequency, Frequency deviation and hopping sequence Selection:  The register values for the carrier frequency, of the receiver, high and low deviation carrier frequency for transmitter registers and hopping patterns are found in the arrays contained in the files “RF_Tables.C”. These tables must be included in the mother board operating code to load the values into the RF module.  Below is a list of the function calls and a brief description of the function and variables that are required.  Function call Description void Next_channel(void) Loads a hopping channel index from the random table  void Take_Reg_TX(int NbChannel) Loads the transmitter register frequency values (carrier plus deviation and carrier minus deviation) with the hopping channel value void Take_Reg_RX(int NbChannel) Loads the receiver register frequency values with the receiver hopping channel value.   The communication of the register values to the RF module must comply with the timing as indicated in the AT86RF211S data sheet.  Once these registers are loaded with the parameter values, the Data Tx and/or Data Rx can be read or written directly as a data stream to the Data Tx, Data Rx pins.  The mother board must supply the data buffering.  The serial number entered into the ROM memory of the mother board provides an index to the random table so there will be a hopping pattern uniqueness to the transmitter/receiver pair if they contain the same serial number.  The serial number also must become part of the packet for data identification.  The data packet must also include a CRC value for data verification.    4. Antenna: The only antennas that are permitted for use with the 600-682-01 RF module are the Antenna Factor ANT-916-CW-QW, Antenna Factor ANT-916-CW-RCL, and a 3.0” solid wire.
