1. Scope of this Manual
This manual is intended to provide sufficient information for the correct installation of your AD2006 telemetry
module. Your AD2006 module will be delivered pre-configured to your project specifications where requested or set
to factory defaults as specified in this manual.
For programming information please refer to the MiriMap 2000+ Software on-line help.
2. O de ing Info mation
There are many variations of the AD2006 telemetry modules available. The following shows the ordering code and
details for modules with or without internal data radios. For other radio or modem options please contact Miri
directly.
The following options are not fitted as factory standard and need to be requested when ordering;
•4 Channel Analog Output Option
•Ethernet Port Option
Please Note: If you are ordering a module to add to an existing
system please be sure to specify the project name when
ordering the new module.
The AD2006 part number is displayed on the rear of each unit
together with other relevant information.

3. Technical Info mation
Ove all A angement
LED Indicato s
The pwr LED should be on at all times when the unit is powered up.
The run LED should flash at 2Hz when the unit is in RUN mode and 4Hz in PROG
mode.
A fault means that the module has received a bad reply to a message.
The tx and rx LEDs reflect the PTT and CD status of the internal radio.
The tx and rx LEDs for each port indicate that a valid system message has been
sent or received on that port. A link indication means that the slave time-out
period for that port has lapsed or the programmed number of retries have failed
and communications have been lost.
The first four LEDs indicate that the physical outputs are active.
The second four LEDs are programmable status indications.
These LEDs indicate that a particular input is active.

Inputs
Analog Inputs
The AD2006 module has 8 analog input channels with a common ground. These are factory configured to 4-20mA.
The following options are available by jumper selection;
• 0-20mA / 0-5V
• 4-20mA / 1-5V
• 0-1V
Note: Whichever option is selected determines the configuration of all analog input channels.
Channels 1 to 8 are configured for current or voltage inputs via jumpers J35 to J42 respectively. If a jumper is installed
in the appropriate location then that channel will operate as a current input. If no jumper is installed it will operate
as a voltage input.
FACTORY DEFAULTS - All channels set to 4-20mA
All input channels 0-20mA
All input channels 1-5V
All input channels 0-5V
All input channels 0-1V
Digital Inputs
There are two different versions of the AD2006 module with respect to Digital Inputs. There is a low voltage version
for nominally 12 or 24 volt inputs and a high voltage version specifically for 110 volt inputs. The digital inputs are
optically isolated to 2.5KV.
•AD2006 L - Lo Voltage 10-35VDC/AC 4k7 Impedance
•AD2006 H - Hi Voltage 70-130VAC/DC 27k Impedance
Note: This is not an on-board selectable option so please ensure that you have the correct version
of hardware for your application.
The digital input voltage is marked on the terminal strip label with the ‘Lo’ voltage inputs in blue and the ‘Hi’ voltage
inputs in orange.
The digital inputs are supplied in two blocks of 8 inputs each with a separate common terminal.
The inputs will accept an AC input voltage or a DC voltage of either polarity.

Pulse Counte s
Each Digital Input may be used as a pulse counter up to 5Hz. The first two inputs can be configured as high speed
pulse counters up to 5KHz (equal mark space ratio).
•Where the inputs are used as slow counters (to 5Hz) the inputs are usually referred to the digital input
common.
•Where the fast pulse counters are used the inputs are referred to the module 0V supply (ground).
The digital inputs will then accept inputs from common emitter transistors FETs or reed switches etc. as shown below.
The factory default setting is for all inputs to be configured as digital inputs / slow counters. The following jumper
settings apply where inputs 1 or 2 are required to be fast counters.

Digital Input Wi ing
Digital Outputs
Each of the four Digital Outputs may be individually configured as an isolated relay or common emitter transistor.
Isolated Relay Configu ation (factory default) Common Emitte Configu ation
With all jumpers J12 - J15 in position A the module is
configured for 2 SPST and 2 SPDT relay outputs.
With all jumpers J12 - J15 in position B all outputs are
common emitter transistors.

Radios
There are a number of internal radio options available for
the AD2006 modules. Some of these use audio (FFSK)
modulation whereas others have an RS232 interface.
External radios can be connected using Port 1. Ports 2 and
5 are also available for RS232 connections.
There is a PTT push button located under the bottom right
hand corner of the module for checking the SWR of
antenna installations during commissioning.
Inte nal Radios
AD2006 Modules come supplied with an internal radio
either UHF or VHF which may be configured as RS232 or
FFSK.
The default factory settings for an internal (VHF/UHF)
radio RS232@2400 baud are as shown right.
Exte nal Radio
•FFSK EXTERNAL RADIO - To configure the
module for an external audio radio make the
following changes to J1 J3 J7 J8 J9 J10 and
J11.
•RS232 EXTERNAL RADIO CONNECTION - To
configure the module for an external RS232
radio port make the following changes to
jumpers J1 J9 J10 and J11.

4. Options
Analog Output
An analog output board must be installed to utilise this option. This is a factory fitted option. When the analog board
is installed any of the last four channels can be configured as 4-20mA outputs.
Channels 5 to 8 are selected as 4-20mA outputs by installing jumpers as follows;
•J4 – Position A (Channel 5)
•J5 – Position A (Channel 6)
•J20 - Position A (Channel 7)
•J22 & J16 - Position A (Channel 8)
Note - If channel 8 is configured as an analog output
analog input 8 will still operate as a supply voltage
monitor provided that J24 is selected in position A.
Note - J9 J10 and J11 are not relevant to the analog
channel options.
Powe Supply Monito
Analog input channel 8 is set by factory default to monitor the module’s supply voltage. This is particularly useful in
solar powered installations.
If channel 8 is required as a normal analog input channel then J24 is moved from position A to position B.
Voltage Sou ce fo Field Senso s
The analog input channel (8) can be configured as a 5V source to power field sensors to a maximum current supply of
20mA. To select this option install jumpers;
• J16 - position B &
• J22 - position A.

5. Antennas
It is imperative for the reliable operation of your radio telemetry system that the antennas be installed correctly. It is
therefore strongly recommended that the services of qualified radio personnel be used for the antenna installations.
The following example is a guide only which shows the salient features relating to the installation of commonly used
antennas. These antennas are vertically polarised which will normally be the case for point to multipoint systems
within Australia. In point to point links the radio license will typically be for horizontally polarised antennas in which
case the YAGI antenna shown would be rotated through 90 degrees.
Ve tically Pola ised 450 – 470 MHz Antennas
Typical Mounting Arrangements and Dimensions
Notes:
•All cable connections must be sealed with butyl self-amalgamating tape. PVC tape is not acceptable!
•Antennas should be mounted free from immediate obstructions to provide a clear line of sight in the required
direction.
•Standard antenna mounting brackets are designed for 55mm OD pipe.
•The coaxial cable should be stress free and not include any sharp bends.
•The drain hole in the driven element of the antenna must point downwards.

6. Wi ing & Mounting
Wi ing
Mounting
•The AD2006 module is installed by
means of the clip in stainless steel
mounting bracket supplied with
the unit.
•The module is removed by
depressing the small tongue at the
bottom of the mounting bracket
and sliding the unit upwards.
•The terminal blocks are removable
such that the I/O wiring need not
be disturbed if replacing a module
in the field.
Note: Please ensure when
mounting the telemetry module
that sufficient clearance is left for
wiring to and from the unit.
Recommended minimum
clearances are shown right.
