7600RF RF Receiver [Preliminary] User’s Manual
This Manual
This manual provides any required information for installation, configuration
and operation of the 7600RF RF Receiver.
It exclusively treats the handling of this device. It neither describes the
LonWorks technology by Echelon nor the LonMark profile implemented in
detail. More specific information concerning these subjects can be found in the
documentation of Echelon (www.echelon.com) and the LonMark
Interoperability Association (www.lonmark.org).
The first part of this manual provides a survey about the device and its
installation in chapters 1 to 3. The 2nd part describes the implemented
application for lighting control and its configuration possibilities. Chapter 4
contains a description of the firmware interface while chapter 5 describes the
implemented LonMark Objects in detail providing an outlook of the individual
objects, their tasks and their relevant configuration parameters.
Chapter 6 explains the basics required to connect the objects to each other.
This manual is relevant for all variants of the 7600RF RF Receiver where
applications for lighting and switch control are implemented.
This documentation is subject to modification at any time without prior advice. Nico does not take over any
responsibility for mistakes or inaccuracies in this documentation and eventually occurring consequences.
In any case Nico as well as its representatives and staff are not reliable for eventual defaults, damages caused
indirectly or during use, occurring due to the use or non-usability of the software or the accompanying documentation.

5 Application Software for RF Remote Controller
On the 7600RF RF Receiver an application for RF Remote Controller is
implemented, making output functionality as well as switch control functions
available.
Therefore the relevant LonMark profiles stated in Table 4.1 are implemented.
The use of network variables (NV) compiles with the LonMark standard, no
customized network variables are used. SCPT’s are used for parameterization
by applying the read/write-memory method.
