This field may be any combination of sensors, such as seismic, magnetic, IR, or break wire. A receiver, transmitter, and control electronics module are encapsulated in the Lexan plastic housing. The repeated signal will be on the same RF frequency as the signal that was received from the original detector. Channel: Factory Pre-Set Single Channel Frequency Range: 138-174 MHz Antenna Battery Cap ID Codes: MIDS/EMIDS Antenna: Rod, ½ wave, 3 dB Power Supply: 10 each 9 V DC batteries Battery Life: 45 days in temperate climate. (Optional BPA battery pack – extends life to 120 days) Transmission Output: Minimum 2 Watts Design Features • Sealed battery compartment • Repeated signal on same frequency • Operational tilt switch • Injection molded Lexan plastic case • Metal battery cap clamps with heat welded metal inserts • Sealed and potted electronic components • Alternate power sources available (BPA Battery Pack Assembly/Solar panel 10-30 Watts) QTI Form #: 30Z0136 Page 3 Revision: F Effective Date: 23 August 2006 A. Operation Install the desired number of batteries and the antenna to make the MRLY operational. The MRLY should be placed between the transmitter and receiver. B. Modes of Operation The MRLY has two modes of operation. These modes are controlled by internal tilt switches. Normal Operation – The MRLY may be put in normal mode by placing it with the antenna up on a flat level location. Power Off – Power is turned off by tilting the unit in any direction past 15°. This mode is used to transport the relay to the development location to prevent transmission and battery power drain. Operational Mode Flat and Level Power Off Mode Tilted past 15°. C. RF Link The operational range of the RF link is dependent upon various conditions. The high frequency of the RF link works best under line of sight conditions. However, operation from gulches and around buildings or hills is possible for shorter ranges. Retransmission ranges of 25 to 100 miles can be achieved. D. Emplacement Considerations The MRLY must be placed within the transmission range of the sensor transmitter assembly. For the best results, place the relay half way between the transmitter and the receiver on a flat surface or at the top of a hill or building. Elevating the repeater antenna or using a toss up antenna will greatly increase the operational range. QTI Form #: 30Z0136 Page 4 Revision: F Effective Date: 23 August 2006 Section 2: EMIDS Multi-Channel Relay (MSRY) Description The EMIDS multi-channel MSRY relay is a self-contained unit that will receive and retransmit RF signals from compatible transmitters. The MSRY relay is programmed using a PC and the supplied software. While programming the unit, the receiver channel, transmit channel, unit ID code, and voltage level from internal batteries are displayed. The unit will transmit a test message when the test button is activated. After programming, the unit may be deployed for operation. An external battery charger may be used to recharge the internal batteries. The MSRY has an external power connector for connection to an external power supply or solar panel. Range Spacing Frequency: Low: 138-154 MHz 25 kHz Antenna Mid: 154-162 MHz 5 kHz High: 162-174 MHz 6.25 kHz ID Codes: 0-999 Antenna: Rod, ½ wave, 3 dB Power Supply: 2 each 4 volt gelcell batteries Battery Life: AC Power Adapter 5 days in temperate climate (Battery life can be extended with solar panels or battery packs.) Transmission Output: Minimum 2 Watts Design Features • Pelican high impact plastic case • Alternate power sources available (AC, solar, battery packs) • RS232 data port for computer programming • MSRY software • Test button • Status light • Multi-channel programmable frequency via RS-232 port and computer QTI Form #: 30Z0136 Page 5 Revision: F Effective Date: 23 August 2006 Operation The MSRY must be programmed before being installed in the field. The MSRY is programmed using a computer and the supplied MSRY software. The MSRY connects to the PC by an RS232 9-pin data cable. NOTE: If the computer does not have an RS232 Serial Port, the purchase of an RS232 9-pin to USB conversion cable may be required. The receiver channel, transmit channel, format, and the MSRY ID code are set during the programming mode. The current voltage level from the internal batteries is also displayed. Setup The connection of the MSRY Relay to the computer must be performed in the following sequence or errors could occur. 1. Ensure MSRY Relay switch is in the “OFF” position. 2. Connect the serial port cable to the computer. NOTE: If the computer has an RS232 9-pin female serial port, use this Comm port. If the computer only has a USB Comm port, the purchase of a USB to Serial cable will be required. For this cable to operate properly, it will require software installation that comes with the cable. 3. Connect the Serial cable 9-pin male connector to the MSRY Relay serial port. 4. Turn the MSRY Relay switch to the “ON” position. 5. Run “MSRY Programmer” on the computer. 6. Input the Receiver Channel, Transmit Channel, and ID Code. 7. Select “Program Unit”. Select “OK” when programming is complete. 8. Close “MSRY Programmer” and disconnect the serial cable from the computer and MSRY Relay. 9. Turn power off to MSRY Relay. Data Messages The MSRY Relay has a built in transmitter and receiver. However, it does not incorporate the same data message features as the MXMT or MMCT transmitters. It receives, stores, and transmits messages received from MIDS and EMIDS transmitters. The only data message that can be sent by the MSRY Relay is a test message. When the test button is pressed, the Relay transmits a message that gives the MSRY ID Code and the data message “Test”. No other data messages apply to the MSRY Relay. RF Link The operational range of the RF link is dependent upon various conditions. The high frequency of the RF link works best under line of sight conditions. However, operation from gulches and around buildings or hills is possible for shorter ranges. Dry sand, heavy foliage, and non line-ofsight can all play a part in decreasing the retransmission range. Retransmission ranges of 25 to 100 miles can be achieved depending on terrain. QTI Form #: 30Z0136 Page 6 Revision: F Effective Date: 23 August 2006 Emplacement Considerations The MSRY must be placed within the transmission range of the transmitter (2-10 miles). For the best results place the relay half way between the transmitter and the receiver on flat surfaces, or at the top of a hill or building. Battery The MSRY Relay incorporates two each 4-volt, 4.5-amp hour rechargeable sealed lead-acid batteries. The batteries are fully charged at Qual-Tron prior to shipment to provide a minimum of 9 volts. NOTE: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of this type of battery, it is imperative that they be charged periodically if placed in storage. Otherwise, permanent loss of capacity might occur as a result of sulfation. It is recommended that the batteries be charged every 2-3 months using the supplied PSEC AC/DC battery charger to prevent permanent damage to the battery. The PSEC AC/DC charger (13D0229-1) provides a 12-volt, 1.7-amp input. Use only the 12V PSEC to charge the batteries, as the 9V PSEC AC/DC adapter (13D0230-1) will not provide adequate charging. It is recommended that the MSRY batteries be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. QTI Form #: 30Z0136 Page 7 Revision: F Effective Date: 23 August 2006 Section 3: FREQ.
