Section 3:
Conguration
Conguration
All units must be on the same ID to communicate with each other. There are 16 IDs available ( IDs 0 through 15)
For each Radio in the system:
1. Set the BLACK ID DIP switch to the desired ID
2. Set the BLUE BAUD RATE DIP switch to match the serial device connected to the XTP unit.
*Any change in DIP Switch settings will cause the RED CONFIG LED to turn on. Transmission will be disabled until
step 3 is performed. The BLACK DIP for TEST MODE must be o for normal operation.
3. Press the CONFIG button. The three GREEN conguration LEDs will illuminate as setup progresses.
When all three LEDs light up Conguration is complete. **
If there is a problem with conguration the RED CONFIG LED will blink every 5 seconds up to 6 times. RED CONFIG LED will then
blink several times rapidly. Wait a minimum of 5 seconds before pressing the CONFIG button again.
** It may take up to 30 seconds after conguration before a link is established with other units and data is transmitted between
units.
When the XTP has been properly congured and properly wired according to Section 1 the corresponding GREEN LED (RS232,
CLOOP, or RS422) will blink with each data transmission. The RED Receiving Wireless Signal LED will blink with each data burst
received from the matching transmitter. Ideally with each GREEN blink on the transmit side there will be a corresponding RED blink
on the receiver side. If the receiver side is infrequent the signal is not reliably getting from one unit to the other. Reposition
antennas for direct line of sight as much as is feasible.
Optional IO (Input Output) Cards
The XTP Module has the option to add up to 2 cards used for IO line passing for other XTP units on the same ID. Each card has
either 4 input or 4 outputs. Each system can only have one WHITE input card on IO Card Slot 1 and 1 WHITE input card on IO Card
Slot 2 (See Figure 3.1). These units may be in the same XTP unit or dierent units. Any system can have as many BLACK Output
cards as required on any IO Card Slot without interference
Changing IO cards may require repeating step 3 above as indicated if the RED CONFIG LED turns on..
IO Card Slot 1 controls IO 1 through 4 and IO Card Slot2 controls IO 5-8 (Cards can be used ineither slot.
Only IOs 0-7 are sent using IDs 0-5 and 12-15 (to maintain backwards compatibility with older XT Series models.
If 8 IOs are required use IDs 6-11
The XTP Built in Receiver has IO 1-3 tied into the stoplight controls on SSD series displays.
In 1 controls the red line
In 2 controls the green line
In 3 controls the amber line
