OPERATION
Turn On
To turn on the remote controller, momentarily press any button on the controller. The LCD display will
read "CS-200 : V1.03" and then display the condition of the system or "REMOTE NOT
RECEIVING". If "Remote Not Receiving" is displayed, the probable cause will be that the serial
number of the system needs to be programmed into the controller.
(See Programming)
The first operation of any button is used to turn the unit ON. The second operation is transmitted as per
normal.
Turn Off
The remote controller has been designed to turn itself OFF 5 minutes after the last button was pressed.
The serial number of the system is automatically stored in memory so programming is only required to
be done once for any particular system. If the unit is running on external power the Controller will
remain ON until the power is removed.
Programming
When the remote controller is turned on and the LCD displays "REMOTE NOT RECEIVING", the
probable cause will be that it requires to be programmed with the serial number of the system it is to
control. The procedure to do this is as follows :-
1. Turn on the CS-200 Traffic Light Controller and select "FLASH YELLOW" on
the MASTER
2. While holding down the "RETURN" on the remote controller, key in the following
code on the MASTER key pad :-
600 "YELLOW TIME"
The display on the remote controller will indicate that it is being programmed and
show the serial number of the system.
Stop Button
When the system is in "MANUAL 1" and the STOP button is pressed, both the Master and Slave will go
to RED. If the system is in "FLASH YELLOW", "AUTO" OR "NORMAL", "MANUAL 1" is
automatically selected with the Master and Slave showing RED. The MASTER GREEN and SLAVE
GREEN buttons are now operational and it will operate the same as the cable manual controller.

Return Button
This button has two functions :-
1. Used for programming the remote. (See Programming)
2. Returning the system back to the previous mode of operation. eg:-
Assume the system is in "NORMAL" mode. The STOP button on the remote controller is
pressed and the system goes to "MANUAL 1". After controlling the system in "MANUAL"
mode, and you wish to return to the "NORMAL" mode, press the RETURN button. The system
automatically selects "NORMAL" and continues on without any disturbance to traffic flow.
This feature only works when the system is in ONE WAY OPERATION and the previous mode
was either "NORMAL" or AUTO" modes.
(Cannot go back to "FLASH YELLOW")
Operational Requirements
*The controller should be operated while the unit is held in the hand and preferably in line of sight
of the Master Control Unit. Control range is up to 1Km, depending on conditions. The
controller may be used from vehicles but the range of control will be reduced.
*KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Should this happen for an extended period, the display
will go black and render itself unreadable. It will usually recover when the controller cools down
but it cannot be guaranteed.
*Unit should only be recharged with the Battery Charger provided.
LCD Display Screens
"CS-200 : V1.03" Is displayed on initial turn on and indicates the software version.
"Remote not receiving" Indicates the Master controller is turned off or that the serial number of the
system has not been programmed into the controller.
"Prog SN xxx" Indicates that the serial number of the system is being programmed into the
controller.
" (MODE) " Indicates the mode in which the system is currently running.
"Wait -Timing" Indicates that a button on the controller has been pressed but the system is
waiting for a "minimum time" to expire before the function can be
implemented.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Interconnect
All components are mounted on one Motherboard which runs the length of the case. The LED provides
indication that external power is present.
Power
Internal power is provided by a 700mA / 10.8V battery situated in the base of the controller. When any
button is pressed, (eg -S3) the base of Q9 is grounded via D5, R10. Q9, Q5 both turn on, supplying
power to the IC regulators IC9, IC10. IC10 provides 5V to the PCB and IC1 is reset by the pulse applied
to IC1-9 by C3. S3 also grounds IC1-13 (INT 1) via D1 which initiates the program. IC3-6 goes high,
turning Q6 on via R9. Q6 collector holds the base of Q9 low via R25, thus holding power on.
After 5 minutes of no button activity, IC3-6 goes low and turns Q6 OFF. Q9 turns OFF which removes
power to the IC regulators.
External power is applied directly to the IC regulators via protection diode D2. The battery is trickle-
charged via D4, R34 while external power is applied.
IC9 is an adjustable regulator which supplies the transceiver only and is adjusted so that the transmitter
gives out .9 of a watt.
Voltage Sensing
The voltage which is applied to the input of the regulators is also applied to the voltage sensing circuit via
R5. The voltage divider R6, RV1, R7 provides a voltage at IC6-3 which is compared with an internal
reference. If the voltage on IC6-3 goes below that reference, IC6-4 goes low and a LOW BATTERY
indication is given.
Micro processor
IC1 is a micro processor complete with 256 of RAM and 16K of ROM. Also it has its own internal
oscillator and UART. Port 1 is a multiplexed Address/Data bus but is used only to send and receive data
from IC3 & IC4. IC2 is an address decoder which selects IC3 or IC4.
IC8 is an EEPROM which stores the system address. It is selected by IC3-9 and clocked by IC3-12. Data
to and from IC8 is provided by IC1-1 & IC1-2.
Control
IC4 is a tri-state buffer which is enabled when a button operation has been sensed by IC1.
D9 to D12 are to prevent the 10.8 volts from the battery being applied to the IC4 inputs via Q5, Q9, R10
& D5 to D8. Assume the STOP button (S4) is pressed. IC1-13 is held LOW via D6, D1 which initiates
the selecting of IC4. IC4-4 is held low via D11 which is applied to the data bus, read by IC1 and the
appropriate action occurs.

Display
The display is updated only when a change occurs. Data comes directly from IC1 port 1 while enable,
selection and read/write are via IC3. (Selection refers to either line 1 or line 2.) Brightness is controlled
by the voltage divider R42 and R44.
The display , if left in direct sunlight for extended periods, will go black and be virtually
unreadable. When it has cooled down it will usually recover but it cannot be guaranteed.
System Address
The system address is received from the MASTER via the communication system. The following
procedure must be performed before the remote will store the address which is as follows :-
*The RETURN button on the remote is held down. While the remote is in this condition, it must
receive a data transmission with the PROGRAM bit set before it will store the address of that
transmission in EEPROM. From that transmission on, the REMOTE will operate normally.
*To set the PROGRAM bit in the data transmission the following is entered into the MASTER :-
600 "YELLOW TIME"
On the next transmission to the REMOTE, the MASTER sets the PROGRAM bit. This occurs for
ONE transmission only and the above key sequence needs to be entered in each time you require to
program a REMOTE.
Note:-Any number of REMOTES may be programmed and used with a system.
Transmission
IC5 is an FSK MODEM which uses the V23 communication protocol. IC1 produces a serial data stream
from it's TXD output, IC1-11, and applies it directly to IC5-14. IC5 is switched to transmit by IC3-16
going low. The O/P of IC5 is fed to the base of Q8 via C13, R14 which is an emitter follower driver and
is used to provide a low Z source of data. R8, RV3 is a voltage divider network which sets the deviation
level into the transmitter. Received data is fed to IC5-4 via C24, R20, R23 where it is decoded into a
digital format and applied to IC1-10. R13, R17 set the carrier detect level while R19, R18 sets the receive
data level.

MAINTENANCE
Dismantle
-Remove the two screw covers and screws on the bottom of the unit.
-Place the unit face down on a bench and carefully slide the bottom blue section away from the
yellow section just enough to be able to disconnect the battery. After this is done, completely
remove the bottom blue section, being careful that the battery does not fall out.
-Turn unit over and remove the yellow section by sliding it down the steel runners.
-To remove the LCD, straighten the wire securing the bottom of the display and remove it by pulling
it directly up.
Note :-The display must be connected for the unit to work.
Adjustments
Deviation
Connect an RF deviation meter to the antenna connector of the CS-TRH3A and key in the following
codes into the master unit:-
614 "YELLOW TIME"
611 "YELLOW TIME"
This will put the CS-TRH3 controller into continuos transmit for 15 seconds. Adjust RV3 for 3.0KHz
deviation.
Low Voltage Indication
Connect an external power source to the unit and adjust it to supply exactly 9.8 volts on TP1 . Turn RV1
FCW. Adjust VR1 anti clockwise very slowly so the LOW BATTERY indication occurs. (Approx 1 sec
delay before display occurs.)
Tx Power Out when used with a CS-100 controller.
Connect an RF power meter to the antenna connector and key the transmitter on continuously by
grounding PIN 5 or 6 on CON3. Adjust RV2 for an output power of .9 watt.
Tx Power Out when used with a CS-200 controller
Connect an RF power meter to the antenna connector and key in the following codes into the master
unit:-614 "YELLOW TIME"
611 "YELLOW TIME"
This will put the CS-TRH3 controller into continuous transmit for 15 seconds. Adjust RV2 for an output
power of .9 watt.
