Technical Information
General Arrangement
LED Indicators
The pwr LED should be on at all times when the unit is powered up.
The run LED should flash at 2Hz 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.

Digital I/O
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 Counters
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 5 KHz (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 Outputs
Each of the four Digital Outputs may be individually configured as an isolated relay or common emitter transistor.
Isolated Relay Configuration (factory default)
Common Emitter Configuration
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.

Analog I/O
Analog Inputs
The AD2006+ module has 8 analog input channels as standard. These are configured from the factory as
4-20mA/1-5V. The following options are available by jumper selection:
0-20mA / 0-5V
4-20mA / 1-5V
0-1V
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. Whilst this
facility provides for a mix of current and voltage inputs signals it is recommended that all analog inputs be either
current or voltage for ease of ongoing serviceability and support.
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
OTHER OPTIONS
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR - 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 SOURCE FOR FIELD SENSORS - 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 to position B and J22 to
position A.

Analog Outputs (Optional)
An analog output board must be installed to utilise this option. This is a factory fitted option. When the analog output
option is installed, any of the last four channels can be configured as 4-20mA outputs.
ANALOG OUTPUTS –Channel 5-8 Configured as Outputs
Note: Ensure that the unit is powered down
when moving jumpers.
Channels 5 to 8 are selected as 4-20mA outputs by
way of locating jumpers in position A as follows:
Ch. 5 (J4)
Ch. 6 (J5)
Ch. 7 (J20)
Ch. 8 (J22 and J16)
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.

Communication Options
The standard radio option for an AD2006+ module is an on-board digital Microhard Nano radio.
This is installed on a ‘Nano’ interface board and is connected to the main PCB via CONN4. All options for the Nano
radios are selected in software. There are no hardware jumper settings required for this radio configuration.
The AD2006+ Rev.11 hardware platform also supports FFSK radio options which are interfaced to the main PCB via the
appropriate interface board. Where an FFSK radio is being used, it is necessary to configure the radio data options as
shown below. Your telemetry module will already be configured by the factory to the appropriate baud rate settings if
the required information has been given at the time of ordering.
Note: Only MR450+ and DTX+ interface boards can be used with the AD2006+ modules. These are not interchangeable
with previous radio interface boards.
FACTORY DEFAULTS –Internal FFSK radio –2400 baud
FFSK BAUD RATE OPTIONS –The jumper
arrangement shown is the factory default
configuration for an internal FFSK radio operating
at 2400 baud. Other baud rate options can be
selected using the following jumper configurations.
There is a PTT push button located under the
bottom right hand corner of the module which
operates in conjunction with FFSK radios. This is
intended to be used to check the SWR of antenna
installations during commissioning.
FACTORY DEFAULTS –External RS232 Radio Interface
FFSK EXTERNAL RADIO –The factory default is
for an external RS232 radio interface. To change
this for an external FFSK radio interface, shift J8,
J11 and J17 to the ‘B’ position.

3. 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.
Vertically Polarised 400 MHz Band Antennas
Typical Mounting Arrangements and Dimensions
Notes:
All cable connections must be sealed with butyl self-amalgamating tape. PVC tape is not sufficient!
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 50mm 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.

4. Wiring & Mounting
Wiring
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 so 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 above.
