HOW IT WORKS
TL-Rx-315 can receive signals from each
transmitter, and then output the signal via
control cable to a controlled device.
(e.g., TL-EMS-2x4 - two-input by four-
output RF Switch)
Remote Control Range = 100 feet plus
control cable length (see Figure 2)
Remote controls (TL-Tx-315) are used to
select input A or B for outputs 1 through 4.
* Multiple remote controls can be used,
provided there is a two-second gap
between transmissions.
The firmware in TL-EMS-2x4 Switcher
determines Tx control functions.

RF Wireless Receiver Model TL-Rx-315
DESCRIPTION
Thank you for purchasing model TL-Rx-315. It is a general purpose radio frequency (RF) receiver that operates at 315 MHz. Together
with a compatible handheld RF transmitter, they provide indoor wireless remote control for a variety of TLE or third party devices.
For example, figure 1 shows wireless remote control of RF signal switch (four input and 1 output) used for remote RF/Video signal
monitoring.
The function of the TL-Rx-315 is to receive RF signals sent by the RF transmitter, then translate the signals into a RS-232-compliant
output, which can be carried by a control cable to a compatible controlled device.
Application
General remote control. Figure 3 shows an example of wireless remote control of the RF Switcher used in a small building for TV/RF
signal distribution.
Save this User’s Manual - It contains important installation and operating instructions.
Please read all instructions before installing and operating.
Please note: The receiver will not operate properly if it is located in RF-shielded areas, such as behind or within metal walls or floor
obstructions.

Configuration:
The TL-Rx-315 Receiver does not need configuration. When the controlled device is connected, and +5V DC is supplied to the Rx,
the green LED on Rx will rapidly flash to indicate power presence and readiness to receive signals.
Compatible Transmitters can be configured to have one to eight active button controls. Factory firmware will match Tx keypad to
control requirements of device. Please refer to the Linx Transmitter manual for other specific details.

4.0 INSTALLATION and CONNECTIONS
TL-Rx-315 (Receiver) Location
The Receiver can be located close to the controlled device or far from it. For optimal performance, the receiver should be located in an
interference-free location with minimal obstructions. The remote control works best when the physical distance between the Receiver
and the Transmitter is less than 100 feet through usual indoor building materials.
Control Cable Connection
Connected one end of control cable to TL-Rx-315 and other end to the Controlled Device. The TL-Rx-315 has a circular 4-pin DIN
output jack. The control cable is a shielded four-conductor control cable with 4-pin circular DIN plug ends. Standard cable length is 6
feet but an optional extended control cable up to 400 feet in length is also available.
Install TL-Rx-315 indoors, do not immerse in water, and avoid locating the TL-Rx-315 in direct sunlight or in temperatures below
+14°F (-10°C) or above +122°F (+50°C).
Antenna Orientation: The TL-Rx-315 includes an articulating antenna which can be adjusted for best performance (see Figure 4). In
general orientate the Receiver and Transmitter antennas perpendicular to the floor.
DO NOT modify the Receiver.
The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.
5.0 OPERATION
The TL-Rx-315 is powered from the controlled device. When the control cable is connected and power (+5V DC) is applied, the LED
on the receiver will flash rapidly to indicate it will receive the remote control transmissions.
Operating the Remote Control - To send a control signal, press down a button and hold for 1 second, then release.
Operating range (see Figures 2, 3)
Wireless remote control range is up 100 ft with typical indoor obstructions. The control range between TL-Tx-315 and controlled
device is up to 400 feet. This can be further increased with a signal conversion option.
Limitations:
The TL-Rx-315 and Remote Control range will vary depending on operational and environmental conditions. The Receiver and Remote
Controls will not function if located between RF shielded areas. RF signals will not travel through metal obstructions (e.g., aluminized
wall panels).
Multiple Transmitters (Tx) can operate in same reception area. All Tx use the same frequency, therefore, allow two seconds’
separation between transmissions. Note: Each Tx has a distinct address and will be recognized individually by the controlled device.

TL-Rx-315 User’s Manual p.4

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
·· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
·· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
·· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
·· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-
approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that
changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
I the undersigned, hereby declare that the receiver specified above conforms to the above requirements.

INSTRUCTION TO THE USER (FCC NOTICE)

The TL-Rx-315 Circular DIN connector Pin assignments is as follows:
Pin 1 (green wire) is TX of RS-232. (5.0v, TTL)
Pin 2 (white wire) is RX of RS-232. (5.0v, TTL)
Pin 3 (black wire) is ground
Pin 4 (red wire) is for 5.0v power supply
The RS 232 Signal Output Sequence:
When the TL-Rx-315 (Rx) receives valid signal from a transmitter it will send 6 bytes of data to the RS-232 port.
The first three bytes are 3 ASCII characters “STR”, the fourth byte is the low byte of the address of the transmitter,
the fifth byte is the high byte of the address of the transmitter, and the sixth byte is Button Pressed information (see
Table 1).
After sending 6 bytes data to RS-232 port, the Rx will wait for an answer. If the answer is ASCII character 'K', the
Rx will cease sending data to RS-232 port. If the answer is ASCII character 'e', the module will send the same data
to RS-232 port again. If no answer occurs during 10 ms, the module will repeat sending the same data to RS-232
port.
