Installation
All system wiring connections to the receiver should be made with power
disconnected.
Before Use
Before turning the power on, meek for safe conditions in the operating area. We
recommend that you turn the receiver power on first, then turn on the transmitter.
Transmitter
The FRO-1201 transmitter case is dust and moisture resistant. The transmitter
should not be exposed to or immersed ln water. Do not drop or subject to hard
nhueinnl ehnrvke nninn en muld muse damane to the case or internal circuitrv.
Storage
Do not store the transmitter in direct sunlight. extreme temperatures or damp/wet
areas. Remove the batteries when storing for long periods of time.
Section 2 SPECIAL FEATURES
2.1 The operating distance is 100 meters, line of sight, when there are no
obstructions.
2.2 The system uses high accuracy PLL (Phase-Looked—Locp) frequency
synthesizers and Channel Watch“ carrier sensing technology. This allows the
transmitter to automatically select a clear frequency for operation. providing
excellent protection from interference.
23 The FRD-1201 Is approved under Part 15 of the FCC rules. No user license
is required to operate the system.

2.4 The transmitter contains an intemal antenna.
2.5 An automatic power off feature helps prolong transmitter battery life.
2.6 The transmitter switch numbers match the output relay numbers of the
receiver.

Always use four new batteries of the same type.
Do not attempt to charge dry cell batteries. Damage or leakage, as well as
personal injury, may result.
NOTE: NlCad Batten Use:
if NlCad batteries are used, be sure to use “AA" size cells.
When charging. follow battery manufacturer‘s charging instructions.
Use of NiCad batteries will reduce operating time to approximately 30% of
5.3 Monitor LED
When the power switch is first turned on, the monitor LED should be steady
green for approximately three seconds. followed by a fast blinking green at two
blinks per second. When the LED changes to red the batteries are weak. With
alkaline batteries, about one hour of continuous operation time remains after the
LED first changes to red. If the LED stays off, the batteries are dead and must be
replaced before operating the system. With good batterles installed, the monitor
LED will be flashing green during idle periods and steady green when any
function switch is activated.

5.4 Transmitter Auto-Power-Off Feature
With the transmitter power switch on, if no function switches are activated for
approximately eight minutes, the power is automatically shut off to conserve
battery life. The LED will change from a slow blink rate of one blink per second
to off.
Once the power-off feature is activated, the power switch must be cycled to off
and then back on to resume operation.
In the auto—power—cff mode, some battery power is still being used by the
microprocessor. The power switch should be turned off when the system is not
being used.

OUTPUTS: LED for each output relay will light While that relay is activated.
ERROR: LED will light when a valid transmitter signal is not present. The
following factors will cause the error LED to light:
1. No function switches activated, or transmitter power switch off.
2. Transmitter Auto-power-off feature is activated
3. Radio signal interference present in the area.

6.3 Relay Output Description
The system provides 12 output relays plus one main or "run" relay. All relays are
SPST, N.0. type. The main relay will remain closed any time a valid data signal
Is being received from the transmitter. When no function switches are active and
the RF from the transmitter is off, the main relay will open. The individual
FED-i 20|U MINIII P101 to
channel relays will close any time their corresponding functlon switch is held on
at the transmitter, and will release as soon as the transmitter switch is released.
Do not exceed voltage and current ratings at relay output connections.

6.4 Receiver installation Instructions
if the receiver will be installed on vibrating machinery or in an area subjeet to
vibration, vibration damping mounts should be used to minimize vibration to the
The receiver must not be exposed to water or moisture. or installed in a damp
area. For installations in these environments, the receiver should be mounted
inside a waterproof enclosure properly rated for the application.

6.5 Receiver Power Connections
Observe polarity of receiver power terminals when connecting to power source.
Verify correct polarity before applying powert
Verify that the supply voltage to the receiver is within the proper range.
6.8 Receiver Antenna installation - Remote Antenna Mounting
For installations where the antenna will be remote mounted from the receiver,
use the supplied antenna cable assembly and mounting bracket.
Fan-1mm mum Pagl 13
For best operating range, mount the antenna at a high location, such as on top
of the cab for truck installations. Avoid mounting the antenna and cable close to
sources of electrical noise.
When mounting the antenna directly to a surface rather than using the supplied
bracket, pick an area providing the largest available ground plane (metal
surface), such as the center of the cab roof on a truck. This will provide the best
operating range for the system. if there is no available metal surface, (l.e.: a
truck cab using fiberglass or other non-metallic material) a ground plane (metal
surface) should be added if at all possible. As a minimum, a metal plate one foot
in diameter or one foot square, with a thickness of one millimeter or greater
should be used. With a larger ground plane, the receiver will have better
sensitivity and provide a more uniform coVerege area.

selects. the first available clear channel The receiver then locks onto that
channel for operation. If no function switch is activated on the transmitter for
three minutes, the channel ls released and the receiver returns to scan mode.
The next time a function switch is activated. Channel Watch" repeats the
search and look procese
in the event of radio Interference disrupting operations, there are two methods to
solve the problem:
1. if the receiver is accessible. turn the power switch to off for a few seconds
and back on, then turn the transmitter power switch off and back on. A new
channel will be selected
2. if the receiver is not accessible, wait three to four minutes without activating a
function switch on the transmitter. The monitor LED will change from a fast blink
to a slow blink, indicating the channel has been dropped. Activating a function
switch at this time will cause a new channel to be selected.
