SW1 & SW2 are two switched outputs provided for connection to customer alarm indicators, via relay contacts with 12V 500mA rating, configurable for either NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed). These are marked as SW1 and SW2, and are in the form of 2.5mm Jack Sockets. Suitable Jack Plugs are provided with each Gateway and if lost, spares are available from Comark, part number RFJACK.

Safety Information

Under no circumstances may a user make any changes to the RF500 LITE Gateway that would alter its performance. Any modification would void the CE compliance of the Gateway and may invalidate any warranty.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Comark, then the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
No user serviceable parts are provided in RF500 LITE Comark Wireless Monitoring Equipment. Contact Comark or your local distributor for all service requirements.

Warning

• Use only the Linearity Electronics 12V mains adaptor; Model LAD6019AB5, or Stontronics
12V mains adaptor; Model T3068LN with the RF500 LITE Gateway.
• Do not modify the Linearity Electronics 12V mains adaptor; Model LAD6019AB5, or
Stontronics 12V mains adaptor; Model T3068LN in any way.
• Use only the PHIHONG, PSM11R-050 5V mains adaptor with RF512 and RF513. It is
supplied by Comark Limited as three variants:
RF520 Transmitter mains adaptor with UK plug
RF520/EU Transmitter mains adaptor with European style plug RF520/US Transmitter mains adaptor with North American style plug
• Do not modify the PHIHONG, PSM11R-050 5V mains adaptor in any way.
• Do not connect any mains adaptor to RF516. CE compliance is invalidated by this action.
• RF512, RF513 and RF516 Transmitters contain a C-size lithium cell. This cell must not be
incinerated or subjected to temperatures in excess of 100°C. Do not deform, mutilate, crush, pierce, disassemble, recharge or short circuit. Such abuse can result in loss of seal, and/or cell explosion. Also exposure to humid conditions for long periods should be avoided.
• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.
• Ensure the antenna is securely connected before powering the equipment. Internal
damage may result otherwise.
• The Gateway and Transmitters have been designed to operate with the antenna supplied
by Comark, and having a maximum gain of 7dBi. Antennas not supplied by Comark or having a gain of greater than 7dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms. If in doubt please contact Comark or Distributor for advice.

WEEE

The RF500 LITE Gateway, RF512, RF513 and RF516 Transmitters contain a non-rechargeable lithium battery. This battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

RF500 LITE Wireless Monitoring System Overview

Gateway – Introduction

The RF500 LITE Gateway is an embedded microprocessor device containing a radio module for RF communications to the measuring transmitters. The radio module uses a licence free band in the 2.4GHz spectrum. Comark Limited use proprietary protocols over a standard IEEE
802.15.4 link. These protocols achieve reliable communication between the transmitters and the Gateway via self-healing mesh radio networks.
Data from measurements taken by the transmitters is stored on the RF500 LITE Gateway in contrast to other systems which store their data on a PC using special software. For operating the RF500 LITE system the only software required is a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. There is no requirement to install software on each users PC.
The Gateway contains sufficient data storage capacity for up to 10 years which can be automatically backed up to a PC using the optional RF500 Backup Server software or by manual request to generate and download a backup file via your web browser.
Connection to the Gateway is via Network (Ethernet) connection. An external power adaptor provides the mains power for the Gateway. Two relay connectors are provided for external alarms, Autodiallers/Klaxons etc. All other
connections to the Gateway are disabled. See Figure 3 – Left Hand Side View of Gateway for further details.
Emails for alarms will be instigated directly from the Gateway. It is also possible to send a text message alarm via email using a third party provider.
The Gateway can be either desk mounted or wall mounted. Wall mount keyhole slots are provided on the case. The external long range Antenna has variable orientation to suit vertical or horizontal mounting.
Three LEDs on the Gateway display current status of the system – Mains, Alarm indication, and Fault indicators.
