SETTING THE TRANSMITTER ADDRESS
The MS Compact Handheld Transmitter
allows the selection of one of
16,777,216 (224) unique addresses. All
transmitters are supplied set to the
same address. To avoid contention with
other units or to create unique
relationships, the address can be
changed. This is accomplished by using
a paper clip or probe to press the
CREATE_ADDR button on the board
through the bottom hole in the back of
the case. When the button is depressed,
a LED will light up in the MODE_IND
window, indicating that the address is being created. The address will be
randomized for as long as the button is held down. When the button is released,
the randomized address is saved and the LED will begin flashing to indicate that
the Control Permissions may now be set. Press the buttons that the transmitter
will have the authority to access. Press the CREATE_ADDR button with the
paper clip again or wait 17 seconds for it to time out. The address and Control
Permissions are now set. The decoder will need to learn the address before it
will accept any transmissions. Please see the Typical Applications section of this
data guide or the MS Series Decoder Data Guide for details.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The OTX-***-HH-CP8-MS Compact Handheld transmitter combines the LR
Series transmitter and an antenna with an on-board MS Series encoder to form
a simple, yet highly reliable RF remote-control transmitter. The LR Series
transmitter is a low-cost, high-performance synthesized ASK / OOK transmitter.
The transmitter’s synthesized architecture delivers outstanding stability and
frequency accuracy, while minimizing the effects of antenna port loading and
mismatching. This reduces or eliminates frequency pulling, bit contraction, and
other negative effects that are common to SAW-based transmitter architectures,
providing a significantly higher level of performance and reliability.
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, power is applied to the internal
circuitry and the encoder is enabled. The encoder then detects the logic states
of the button data lines. These states are formatted into a 2-word transmission
cycle that continues until the button is released. The encoder data is used to
modulate the transmitter that, through the antenna, conveys the data into free
space. Once data is received, a decoder IC is used to check the transmitter’s
address against an address saved in memory. If a match is confirmed, the
decoder’s outputs are set to replicate the transmitter’s button states. These
outputs can then be used to activate external circuitry required by the
application.
The transmitter is compatible with several Linx receiver products, including the
LC and LR product families. For applications where range is critical, the LR
Series receiver is the best choice due to its outstanding sensitivity. When the
transmitter is combined with an LR Series receiver and the MS Series decoder,
ranges of up to 1,000 feet are possible. Applications operating over shorter
distances will also benefit from the increased link reliability and superior noise
immunity provided by the LR Series receiver.

CONTENTION CONSIDERATIONS
It is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be activated
within a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists of encoded digital
data, only one carrier of any particular frequency can occupy airspace without
contention at any given time. If two transmitters are activated in the same area
at the same time, then the signals will interfere with each other and the decoder
will not see a valid transmission, so it will not take any action.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The remote unit utilizes a standard CR2032 lithium
button cell. In normal use, it will provide 1 to 2 years of
operation. To replace the battery, remove the access
cover by pressing down firmly on the label area and
sliding it off. Once the unit is open, remove the battery
by sliding it from beneath the holder.
There may be the risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by the wrong type. Replace it with the same
type of battery while observing the polarity shown in
the adjacent figure.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The signal sent by the MS Long-Range transmitter can
be received by the LC Series receiver module or the LR
Series receiver module. The outstanding sensitivity of
the LR Series receiver offers the best range when used
with the OEM transmitters. The receiver module is then
connected directly to the MS Series decoder, which will
decode the transmitted signal.
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, a
corresponding line on the decoder will go high. This can
then be connected to external circuitry to perform
whatever function is required by the application.
The decoder must learn the transmitter’s address
before they can work together. This is done by taking
the LEARN line on the decoder high, typically with a
pushbutton switch. The MODE_IND line will start switching (if a LED is attached,
this will cause it to flash) indicating that the decoder is in Learn Mode. Press any
of the buttons on the transmitter to initiate a transmission. Take the LEARN line
high again to exit Learn Mode and the system is ready for use. The figure below
shows a schematic for a typical application.
The MS Long-Range transmitter
is set to 9,600bps, so
SEL_BAUD0 should be tied high
and SEL_BAUD1 tied low.
The decoder has several unique
features, such as Latch Mode,
Receiver Control, and TX_ID.
If the LATCH line is tied to VCC,
the outputs will go high on the
first transmission, then low on
the second. Figure 6 shows it
tied low, so the outputs will be
momentary (high for as long as a
signal is received which instructs
the decoder to make them high).
The RX_CNTL line can be
connected to the PDN line of the
receiver and the decoder will
activate the receiver with a 10%
duty cycle This greatly reduces
the average current consumption
of the system. The adjacent figure shows it tied to ground, but to use this feature,
connect the RX_CNTL line of the decoder directly to the receiver’s PDN line.
The TX_ID line will output a number associated with the originating transmitter /
encoder. Application Note AN-00156 shows how to use this feature.
Data guides for the receivers, the MS encoder, and the MS decoder can be
found on the Linx Technologies website www.linxtechnologies.com.
