Custom systems
We regularly supply pre-wired / bespoke systems, please contact our sales dept for further assistance
Receiver Unit
The Receiver consists interchangeable modules which are connected via ribbon cables. (as shown below)
Antenna
The Antenna is held internally, this is to save drilling the enclosure on the top. This may have some effect to
the range for specific applications which may require the antenna externally mounted. At all times please
ensure that antenna is pointing in a vertical direction and away from high interference sources.

1 Re-Configuring the Remote Control System
There are three Steps:
1. Pre-Configure the 210Rx to operate with a 204Tx series hand held transmitter
2. Map the 204Tx switch(es) to the 210Rx output(s)
3. Set the 210Rx outputs to be latching, momentary or timed.
1.1 Pre-Configure the 210Rx to operate with 204Tx Transmitters
1. Ensure option link J8 is open.
2. Apply power to the 210Rx, All output LEDS flash alternately. This is factory reset default state.
3. Briefly Press any switch on a 204Tx transmitter.
4. The 210Rx. LED1 flashes 5 times to indicate that the 210Rx is configured for use with 204Tx transmitters.
5. Each time power is applied the 210Rx, LED1 flashes 5 times to show it is configured to operate with 204Tx
transmitters.

1.2 Mapping a 204Tx Switch(es) to a 210 Receiver Output(s)
One or many 204Tx switches may be mapped to one or many 210Rx outputs, Decide which switch on the
Transmitter is to operate which output channel on the 210 Receiver decoder.
1. Briefly press the 210 Rx learn switch until the LED1-16 indicates the desired output channel
2. Operate the desired 204Tx transmitter switch briefly
3. The LED on the 210Rx will extinguish.
4. Operate the desired 204Tx transmitter switch briefly again
5. The LED on the 210Rx will turn on briefly and then extinguish.
6. The selected 204Tx transmitter switch will operate the 210Rx output channel.
This procedure may be repeated for each 204Tx and each 210Rx output required.
1.3 Configuration of the 210Rx Receiver Decoder Outputs
Option links LK 1-16 configure the operation of the outputs. Please note that the link status is read only on
‘power up’ and thus after changing the links, power must be removed and re-applied.
LK 1–16 Outputs 1 – 3 Outputs 4 -16
Open Mom or Timed Mom (The O/P operates for as long as the transmitter switch is held on)
Connected Latch or Timed Latch (The O/P changes state each time the Transmitter is operated)
1.3.1 Setting the Timed output
The 210Rx has 3 variable timed outputs( Channels 1, 2 and 3), these are set by VR 1-3 with a delay of from 0
to 15 minutes. To set the time delay:
1. Remove power.
2. Place a shorting link header on option link J8.
3. Apply power
4. Note the 210Rx output LED’s will operate sequentially.
5. Depress and release the learn button twice.
6. The 210Rx will then enter the time set mode
7. Initially LED1 will illuminate, indicating that output 1 time delay is to be set.
8. Pressing the learn switch cycles through the three timed outputs.
9. Using a fine screwdriver, adjust potentiometer VR1 for O/P 1, VR2 for O/P 2 and VR3 for O/P 3.
10. An indication of the time delay set is shown by LED’s 9-15.
After setting the timed outputs the unit must be powered down and option link header J8 removed
before it can be used to receive signals.
1.4 Erasing the 210Rx Receiver Outputs (Return to Factory Default State)
1. To completely erase the 210Rx decoder’s memory, press and hold the 210Rx learn switch.
2. The learn LED (LED 17) will illuminate
3. Hold the Learn switch until the learn LED extinguishes (approx 10 seconds).
4. Release the learn button and all the output LED’s 1-16 will now flash alternately to indicate that all encoder
data has been erased and the 21Rx has returned to factory default state.
Note: It is not possible erase individual transmitters.

1.5 Connecting output Modules to the 210 Receiver
The receiver has 16 outputs, these are connected to the relay output module via a ribbon cable.
The outputs are presented according to the following table.
Several ‘200’ series output modules are available which can be plugged into the 210 Receiver via the four IDC
header boxes on the receiver. Please see DS200S-1 for a summary the available modules and references to
individual datasheets for each output module.
2 Antenna and Range
2.1 Antenna
The system includes an antenna, It is situated within the enclosure (to save penetrating the enclosure)
If the range is inadequate then it may be necessary to mount the antenna protruding from the enclosure. This
may be easily fitted. The receiver DIN Rail module has a flying lead cable (50ohm) with a panel mount BNC
socket provided to mount on the enclosure. This cable may be extended however please note that typically
there is a 50% range reduction with every 3metres of coax cable used!
For increasing range performance a +3dB gain antenna is available. This is supplied with wall mounting
bracket and 2metres of coax cable, it plugs in directly to the BNC connector.
2.2 Range
The antenna choice and position directly controls the system range. Keep it clear of other metal in the system.
The best position is protruding from the top of the product. This is often not desirable for practical or
ergonomic reasons and thus a compromise may be needed. If an internal antenna must be used then try to
keep it away from other metal items, and in particular large ones like transformers, batteries and PCB tracks
and earth planes.
Note that the space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself. All radio systems are dependant
on a radio signal being received through airspace.
The range quoted is the optimal in direct line of sight without obstacles and in good atmospheric conditions.
Range is affected by many things, for example local environmental conditions, atmospheric conditions,
interference from other radio transmitters. For evaluating the local environment please see our RF Meter
(DS006)
In very worse case applications the range quoted may be reduced to 30% of the optimal range stated.
2.3 Signal integrity
In systems where many encoders are in close proximity there may be occasions when, due to signal overlay
between encoders, it is difficult or impossible to guarantee system integrity. In such circumstances it is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the system performance is adequate for the purposes of the
installation.
