TC1
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
TC1 is a MFS 2.4GHz transmitter with 7 toggle switch inputs, 4 push-button inputs, a 4-step gray code
trigger input and 2 analog-inputs. It can control any MFS 2.4GHz receiver using a 32DK packet. It transmits
with an on-board PCB inverted-F antenna. It is powered by a 3.3V lithium-iron battery or optional Cable
Control backup. TC1 also has an external docking station connection for local battery charging. Power is
enabled by attaching the removable E-STOP cap. It has an optional Hetronic LCD module and can display
MFS LCD feedback. The LCD and push button inputs also function as an interactive user menu system.
TC1 also has an optional vibration motor output for alerting users to warning situations.
TC1 is H-Link configurable via 2.4GHz wireless link or on-board USB connection. The firmware is also
upgradeable via on-board USB connection. All H-Link settings and menu options are saved to an on-board
external EEPROM.
TC1 uses the MFS 2.4GHz communication protocol. The coder continually sends control packets at a 1%10% duty cycle to the receiver and receives one feedback packet for every control packet. The control
packets are sent on one of the sixteen IEEE 802.15.4 ISM-band channels, ranging from 2.405-2.480GHz.
The channels and duty cycle are configured with the H-Link software. The packets are DSSS O-QPSK
modulated using an on-board surface-mount transceiver and then amplified through an on-board surfacemount bi-directional RF Front End.
Note: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Note: The TC1 is shipped with the FCC/IC ID label attached. The FCC/IC ID label
must not be removed. See Figure 3 for additional labeling information.
FCC ID Number: LW9-TX-TC1
IC ID Number: 2119B-TXTC1
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Note: The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
RF link is Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, using OQPSK modulation. It operates on the 16 Zigbee
channels ranging from 2405 to 2480 MHz.
The antenna is an etched inverted F style antenna embedded in the circuit board.
Antenna Gain: 3 dB
