The FRH system should NOT be used in a manner in which failure of
thc product or loss of the radio signal could cause damage to the
equipment being controlled, or to anything in the area in which such
equipment is located. All integrated control systems should be
designed for “fail-safe" operation so that a temporary or permanent
loss of signal will not endanger any person. critical process, or
equipment (refer to the beginning of the safety section for further
explanation). The system design should ensure that the equipment
being controlled will default to its safest state in the event of signal
loss.
The FRH system contains no user serviceable parts. If the unit requires
service, Contact your sales representative or Futaba Corporation of
America for repair service. Contact information can be found in this
manual under the section titled How To Obtain Help. Do not
disassemble or attempt to repair the FRI—l yourself. Doing so could
void your warranty and may void the user’s authority to operate the
device.
Contact Futaba before using the FRH in safety critical applications
such as medical equipment, aircrafi, hazardous materials handling. etc.
Installation Safety Hazards and Notes
When mounting the FRH modem, use M3 (ISO) screws that project no
more than 3 to 7 mm into the modern. Screws that project further into
the modern may permanently damage the internal components and/or
cause the FRH modem to malfunction.
Some equipment applies voltage between Signal Ground and Frame
Ground. If this is the case with your equipment, DO NOT connect the
FRH Frame Ground to your equipment. Doing so could allow current
surges to damage the FRH modem, (Standard RS-232C cannot be used
with this type of equipment.)
Use only the AC adapter supplied with the FRH system. Use of any
other adapter may permanently damage the FRH modern and/or cause
the modem to malfunction and create a shock or fire hazard.
Be cenain that all AC power outlets used the power adapters have
been properly installed, grounded. and fused. An electrical shock
hazard may exist if this unit is powered by a faulty power outlet or
Rev. 990121-01
Page y
source, lfyou discover such a situation, immediately discontinue use
until the power source and outlet have been properly installed,
grounded, and fused by an electrician or other authorized person.
Exercise care when using the AC adapter. Do not plug or unplug the
AC adapter with wet hands or while standing in water. Do not touch or
let any object come into contact with the adapter prongs at any time
while they are in contact with the AC outlet.
Be sure to wire the power and serial connections correctly. Incorrect
wiring can damage the system, cause it to malfunction and/or create a
shock and fire hazard.
Ensure that the FRH modem power and the power to the equipment to
be controlled is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the
cable between them. This will help prevent accidental damage to the
system and unexpected operation and/or injury.
Be sure the FRH modem power. the power to the equipment that you
are connecting to it, and the DC power source are all turned otf before
wiring and connecting the power cable,
Be sure that the supplied power is within the specified range (5 to 31
VDC). Voltages outside the specified range may damage the FRH
modem.
Be sure that the power source supplies sufiicient current capacity
Insufficient current may cause the unit to malfunction.
DO NOT use the DC power cable and the AC adapter at the same
time. Doing so may permanently damage the FRH modem and/or
cause the modem to malfunction
Securely attach the power cable, antenna cable, and serial connector to
the FRH modern and equipment/power source to which it is
connected. Use the attachment screws on the serial connector, tighten
the antenna connector to the recommended torque and secure the
power cable as necessary to ensure that they cannot be inadvertently
disconnected by any means. Failure to do so could cause an
unexpected system failure.

Antenna Installation Hazards and Notes
Be sure to keep all systems and antennas clear of power lines.
Permanent equipment damage and severe shock injury or death can
occur if the system contacts power lines.
Contact Futaba before connecting any antenna not provided by Futaba
specifically for the FRl-l system. Attaching any non-authorized
antenna may he in violation ofFCC regulations.
The recommended antenna connector tightening torque is between 8
and l 1.5 leg-cm, Exceeding the recommended torque may damage the
FRH modem and/or antenna connector. A connector that is
insufficiently tightened may become disconnected during operation
and cause a severe reduction in operating range.

OT‘ When using two pedestal antennas with a single FRH for diversity
7 reception, mount the antennas as far apart as possible (30 cm
minimum) If the antennas are too close, the diversity advantage will
not be achieved.
[10 AUTION Do not use two pencil antennas connected directly to the modem
antenna connectors for diversity reception, doing so will not allow the
diversity advantage to be achieved. lftwo pencil antennas will he
used, remotely mount at least one antenna using an antenna extension
cable to facilitate sufficient separation between the two antennas,
_ Before each use, verify that the antenna (and antenna cable, if used) is
securely attached and in good oondition. A loose antenna or cable may
severely reduce the operating range of the system.
F NOTE When installing the FRH in a mobile unit such as an Automatic
p77 Guided Vehicle (AGV), Fumba recommends using the diversity
reception feature as a remedy for multipath fading problems. For
diversity reception, install the two antennas as far apart as possible in
order to gain maximum benefit (30 mm minimum).
5 . The pedestal antenna is designed for indoor use. When using it
Milo—Ni outdoors, enclose it in a non-metallic, waterproof case or take other
steps to protect it from humidity and other corrosive environments.

Though the outside of the pedestal antenna is made of silicone rubber.
the inside is metallic, The metallic components can be bent or broken
it'enough force is applied. Mount the antenna in a location where it
will be least likely to be damaged by contact with other objects or
equipment.
The FRH-SD03TU operates at frequencies in the 2.4 GHz hand. These
frequencies are more directional than lower frequencies and are easily
reflected. lfthere are metal structures nearby, the effective range may
be shortened or the directional properties may be further narrowed. To
help avoid this, mount the antenna as far away as possible from
surrounding metallic structures.
Multipath problems occur easily at 2.4 GHz frequencies. When
multipath problems are present, moving the antenna as little as 10 cm
may result in improved communication or, conversely, a further
diminished or total loss of communication. Put-aha recommends that
the mounting position of the antenna be determined after testing and
verifying optimal communication conditions. Negative multipath
effects can also be overcome with antenna diversity. See the section in
this manual titled Diversity Antenna Setup and the related register
settings for more details regarding antenna diversity.
When installing multiple FRH modern systems that will use different
frequency groups in the same area, modern antennas of different
frequency groups must be mounted at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart.
Failure to do so may severely reduce the FRH operating range.
Please contact Futaha before attempting to insmll any third party
antenna equipment.
Please contact Futaha for information about antenna separation when
using the FRlI-SD03TU and other wireless products in the same area.
The diversity reception function is not available in Mode I. (See the
section titled Operation Modes for more details)
Environmental Safety Hazards and Note!
If the FRH system has been stored at a temperature beyond the
specified operating temperature range for the system, it may not
function properly. Allow it to retum to normal temperatures before

use. Refer to Appendix A 7 Technical Specifications for the actual
operating temperature range.
The FRH modem is a precision electronic device, lts rugged design is
intended for industrial applications. However, do not install it where it
will encounter excessive vibrations. In some cases, isolation mounts
may be used to isolate the FRH modem from the equipment vibration.
Excessive vibration can permanently damage the FRH modem and/or
cause it to malfunction
Do not operate the FRH system in environments where it will be
subjected to excessive moisture (such as rain or water spray), dust, oil,
or other foreign matter (such as metal particles). Doing so may
permanently damage the FRI-l modem and/or cause it to malfunction.
If it does become wet or contaminated, correct the situation, verify
proper operation and have any problems corrected before using it to
control other equipment. If necessary, the modem can be mounted
inside a protective or waterproof enclosure. If the enclosure is
metallic, the anwnna must be mounted externally or the effective
operating range will be severely limited.
The FRH-SD03TU is designed for indoor use. When using it outdoors.
the modem should be mounted in a waterproof enclosure and the
ambient temperature range should be checked to insure that it is within
the modem‘s specifications. Always use the FRH modem within its
specified environmental ranges.
Operational Safety Hazards and Notes
Before each use of the FRH system, ensure that the area where the
equipment will be operated is clear of people or obstacles that may
affect its safe operation.
Before each use of the FRH system, verify that both the equipment
being controlled and the FRH system are in proper operating
condition.
Turn the FRH power off before changing the rotary switch setting.
Failure to do so may cause the modem to malfunction.
Except when initializing the memory registers, always turn the FRI-l
modem power off before changing any dip switch settings.

Do not use rotary switch positions 8 to F. Doing so may cause the
modem to malfunction. See the sections in this manual titled Ralary
Switch Setting and Frequency Grouping for a more detailed
description of the rotary switch settings.
When rewriting the FRH modem’s memory registers, do not turn the
FRH modem’s power offuntil the FRH modern returns a P0. If the
power is interrupted before a P0 is returned the memory contents may
be lost or corrupted and the FRH operation will be unpredictable. if
the memory contents are lost or corrupted, they may be restored to
original default settings by reinitializing them. (See the section in this
manual titled Memory Register Initializalion for more details.)
When initializing the memory registers, do not turn the FRH modem's
power off until the PW LED flashes green. Ifthe power is interrupted
before the LED flashes green, the registers will not be written
Correctly and the FRH operation will be unpredictable. Ifa power
interruption does occur, restart the initialization procedure from the
beginning.
Do not attempt to operate remotely controlled equipment outside the
communication range of the FRH system. Doing so could cause loss of
equipment control.
Without implementing proper flow control settings, the data rate
between the FRH modem and its terminal (wired link) can exceed the
wireless link data rate and cause the modern buffer to overflow. This
can result in malfunction of the systems being controlled and/or data
corruption. Ensure that you are using appropriate flow control settings
for your application.

2.3 Antenna Connection
Several antenna options are available from Futaba for the FRH system. At least one antenna
must be connected to Antenna Connector A on each FRI-i modem in use. In ateas where
multipath fading interferes with reliable communications. a second antenna can be connected
to Antenna Connector B and the diversity receive function enabled to improve reception.
_ Be sure to keep all systems and antennas clear of power lines,
Permanent equipment damage and severe shook injury or death can
occur if the system contacts power lines.
Directional antennas may also be used to increase the range of the FRI-l system.

2.3.2 Diversity Antenna Setup
In certain situations, reception can be improved by using the built-in antenna diversity
capability. This is accomplished by using two separate antennas (or one flat diversity
antenna) and enabling the diversity function in REG] 9. (See the section titled Memory
Register Description.) Diversity reception cannot be used when the FRI-I modem is set to
Mode 1. (See the section titled Operation Mades.)

minimum). If the antennas are too close, Ihe diversity advantage will
not be achieved.
1 ACRUTION Do not use two pencil antennas connected directly to the modem
antenna connectors for diversity reception. Doing so will nol allow the
diversity advantage to be achieved. If two pencil antennas will be
used, remotely mount at least one antenna using an antenna extension
cable to facilitate sufficient separation between the two antennas.
The diversity reception function is not available in Mode 1. (See the
NOTE section titled Opera/ion Mode: for more details)

cause the modem to malfunction.
2.5 Other Installation Precautions
2.5.1 Modem Installation Precautions
Securely attach the power cable, antenna Cable, and serial connector to
the FRI-l modem and equipment/power source to which it is
connected. Use the attachment screws on the serial connector, tighten
the antenna connector to the recommended torque and secure the
power cable as necessary to ensure that they cannot be inadvertently
disconnected by any means. Failure to do so could cause an
unexpected system failure.
The FRH modem is a precision electronic dcw'cc. Its mgged design is
intended for industrial applications. However, do not install it where it
will encounter excessive vibrations. In some cases, isolation mounts
may be used to isolate the FRI-l modem from the equipment vibration,
Excessive vibration could permanently damage the FRH modern
and/or cause it to malfunction.
If the FRI-l system has been stored at a temperature beyond the
specified operating temperature range for the system, it may not
function properly. Allow it to return to normal temperatures before
use. Refer to Appendix A 7 Technical Specified/ions for the actual
operating temperature range.
Do not operate the FRI-I system in environments where it will be
subjected to excessive moisture (such as rain or water spray), dust, oil
or other foreign matter (such as metal particles), Doing so may
permanently damage the FRH modem and/or cause it to malfunction.
If it does become wet or contaminated, correct the situation, verify
proper operation and have any problems corrected before using it to
control other equipment. If necessary, the modern can be mounted
inside a protective or Waterproof enclosure, If the enclosure is
Rev. 990121-01
Section 2 7 System lnstallation Page I9
metallic, the antenna must be mounted externally or the effective
operating range will be severely limited.
The FRH-SDOSTU is designed for indoor use. When using it outdoors.
the modem should be mounted in a waterproof enclosure and the
ambient temperature range should be checked to insure that it is within
the modem's specifications. Always use the FRH modem within its
specified environmental ranges.
2.5.2 Antenna Installation Precautions
L More
AcAutriofil
ACAUTION
Before each use, verify that the antenna (and antenna cable, if used) is
securely attached and in good condition. A loose antenna or cable may
severely reduce the operating range of the system.
Avoid mounting the antenna neat large metallic objects or inside metal
enclosures. Such objects can severely reduce the operating range of
the system,
When installing the FRH in a mobile unit such as an Automatic
Guided Vehicle (AGV), Futaba recommends using the diversity
reception feature as a remedy for to multipath fading problems. For
diversity reception, install the two antennas as far apart as possible in
order to gain maximum benefit (30 mm minimum).
The pedestal antenna is designed for indoor use. When using it
outdoors, enclose it in a non-metallic, waterproof case or take other
steps to protect it from humidity and other corrosive environments.
Though the outside of the pedestal antenna is made of silicone rubber,
the inside is metallic. The metallic components can be bent or broken
if enough force is applied. Mount the antenna in a location where it
will be least likely to be damaged by contact with other objects or
equipment.
The FRH-SD03TU operates at frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band. These
frequencies are more directional than lower frequencies and are easily
reflected. If there are metal structures nearby, the effective range may
be shortened or the directional properties may be further narrowed. To
help avoid this, mount the antenna as far away as possible from
surrounding metallic structures.
@ Futaba Corporation ofAmerica Rev.990121-01
Page 20
i-RH-SDDJTU Manual
QCAUTION
Multipath problems occur easily at 2.4 GHz frequencies. When
multipath problems are present, moving the antenna as little as 10 cm
may result in improved communication or, conversely, a further
diminished or total loss ofcommunication. Futaba recommends that
the mounting position of the antenna be determined after testing and
verifying optimal communication conditions. Negative multipath
effects can also be overcome with antenna diversity. See the section in
this manual titled Diverrily Antenna Setup and the related register
settings for more details regarding antenna diversity.
2.5.3 Multiple FRH Modems Installation Precautions
Jayme] ‘
NOTE
When installing multiple FRH modem systems that will use different
frequency groups in the same area, modem antennas of different
frequency groups must be mounted at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart.
Failure to do so may severely reduce the FRH operating range.
Please contact Fumba for information about antenna separation when
using the FRH-SDOSTU and other wireless products in the same area.
