6.1 Coder
6.1.1 Address
The coder address with which the ERGO-S transmitter has been programmed from the factory can be found isted on the datasheet. This
can be updated via Hetronic PC-Link in the ‘RF’ tab and any number between 1 and 999999 can be used. The user is a so ab e to read the
coder address from the transmitter when the option ‘About’ is se ected when the transmitter is in Service Mode (refer to Section 6.5.5. About
the Transmitter).
6.1.2 Telegram Type
Three types of te egrams are avai ab e for se ection. These are
a) 32DK
b) 32DK + 8AK
c) 80DK + 2AK
When the transmitter is set to MFS mode, the 32DK te egram can on y be used.
6.1.3 Battery Level Indication
Un ess the transmitter is equipped with a TFT screen, in which case the Battery Leve is a so disp ayed on the status bar, the transmitter
uses two different warning signs to show the user that the battery needs rep acement.
When the Low Battery eve warning has been triggered, the RED status LED (#18) wi b ink at the baud rate. The Low Battery detection
thresho d can be set through the ‘Low Batt Warning’ fie d in the ‘RF’ tab on Hetronic PC-Link. This can be set to either ‘Short’, ‘Medium’ or
‘Long’ and is re ated to the battery vo tage.
Approximate battery duration for each of the above options, assuming a brand new and fu y charged battery, are as fo ows:
Full Duplex

6.2 Communication
Fo owing are the standard communication parameters which can be set using H-Link for your ERGO-S transmitter from the ‘RF’ tab.
Certain communication settings can be a so be updated from the ‘Radio Settings’ page when the transmitter is in Service Mode (refer to
respective sections for instructions).
6.2.1 Radio Settings
The ERGO-S coder is designed with the possibi ity to connect two on board RF modu es either operating in the sub 1GHz range as we as
MFS2G4 and CS2400. When the RF modu e is p ugged direct y on to the coder (onboard), the user may se ect the frequency channe or
group to use for communication. If the RF modu e is connected to the coder externa y (through a cab e set inside the transmitter) the
channe wi depend on the SIP switch settings as out ined in the RF modu e and Frequency Bands charts. The RF modu e is used for either
transmitting on y the contro te egram or e se operating in ha f dup ex mode. For the coder to operate in fu dup ex mode then a second RF
modu e has to be connected and configured using Hetronic PC-Link.

6.2.4 Half Duplex Communication
For ha f dup ex feedback configurations the be ow parameters have to be set:
 DK Sync 1 – Can be any DK between DK2 and DK30 from the contro te egram. The coder triggers the sync DK after an assigned
interva and then switches to receive mode. Once a va id feedback frame is received, the coder switches back to transmit mode.
 DK Sync 2 – The second sync DK can be used to prompt a sensor or other device to send a feedback te egram. This operates in
the same way as DK Sync 1.
 Interval – The va ue of the interva defines after how many sent contro messages shou d a feedback te egram be received. If the
interva is set to 0, then for every contro message, 1 feedback te egram is received. If set to 1, then for every 2 contro messages
sent, 1 feedback te egram is received.
 HD Baud – A different feedback baud rate to the transmit baud rate can be used when operating in ha f dup ex. This a so can be
configured to a va ue from 2400 to 115200bits/second.
 FB Delay – The feedback de ay configures how much time to wait for a feedback te egram after the sync DK has been sent. If
after the FB de ay period is over, a va id feedback te egram has not yet been received, then the coder switches back to
transmitting.
6.2.4 Full Duplex Communication
The RF modu e, baud rate and frequency channe have to be configured when fu dup ex is se ected.
NOTE: These settings have to match those on the receiver.
6.2.5 MFS 2.4GHz Radio Mode
The presence of interna 2G4 radio a ows the ERGO-S coder to operate in MFS 2G4 mode.
 MFS Channels – There are 16 channe s avai ab e for se ection of the primary and secondary channe s of operation. The
primary and secondary channe s are used a ternate y in transmitting and receiving MFS data frames.
 MFS Duty Cycle – The user can choose between EU and USA duty cyc es depending on the country regu ations in p ace.

 MFS 2G4 Feedback – ERGO-S supports the reception of MFS 2G4 defau t feedback with digita and ana ogue data. The
feedback data can contro either the LCD or the LEDs. Standard Hetronic Feedback te egrams can a be processed in MFS
2G4.
6.3 DK Configuration
6.3.1 DK Assignment
Your ERGO-S transmitter can have 8 front and 4 side switches (for V1 and V2 type). These switches can be configured from the H-Link DK
tab and each switch can be assigned with 3 different DK’s. The front switches can be 1 step or 2 step switches, depending on the coder, and
the side switches can on y be 1 step. In order to assign DKs to a particu ar switch, it must be se ected from the image of the transmitter
shown on the eft side of the window.
6.3.2. Switch Interlocks
The front and side switch pairs can be configured with switch inter ocks. If this feature is enab ed, then whenever both switches of the
inter ocking pair are pressed, on y the DK/s assigned to the first one which has been pressed is/are set to ON. Thus, the first switch which
has been pressed takes priority and whenever this switch is re eased wi the DK/s of the second switch being pressed be set as ON. The
switch inter ock pairs are switch 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, A&B and C&D.
6.3.3. Telegram DK Assignment
A 80 te egram DKs are configurab e via H-Link using ogic gates having a maximum of four inputs each. DK31 and DK32 are exc usive y
assigned to the Stop switch but can have additiona ogic signa s contro ing their states.

6.3.4. STOP Button (#15)
When the STOP button is pressed, the Stop screen (Figure 3) is disp ayed (if equipped with the optiona TFT) and the stop te egram is
continuous y transmitted. The Shut Down De ay timer starts once the Start button (#12) is pressed and as soon as the timer is over, the
device switches off. This is norma y 2 seconds after #15 is pressed, however the shut down de ay can be configured to ast up to 7.5
seconds. This can be set on Hetronic PC-Link from the ‘Shut Down De ay’ Timer on the DK tab.
6.3.5. LED Feedback assignment
The three feedback bi-co our LEDs (L1-L3) can be configured to switch ON when either of two ‘Sources’ is ON. The Green LED switches on
with Co our 1 and the Red LED switches on with Co our 2. The ‘Source’ can be a DK, ogic gate resu t, feedback bit (16bit, 4bit LCD, 4 bit
short), etc.
