Safety instructions

IMPORTANT

Impairment of the system function due to the use of an unsuitable anten na radiator.
Always use the antenna radiator included in the scope of supply!

IMPORTANT

Impairment of the system function or breaching of radio transmission regulations by the use
of components or extensions not approved by the manufacturer.

Use exclusively components or extensions that are intended and approved by the manufac­turer.

IMPORTANT

Possible impairment of the radio link/range in direct proximity to antenna systems with a
high HF transmission power.

The device must not be used in the direct proximity of radar systems or transmitters (e.g.
radio, TV, mobile telephone etc.) or close to power supply systems.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the device due to the penetration of water and dirt.
Never clean the device with a high pressure cleaner!

Have damage to the decorative foil repaired professionally without delay!

Product description

2 Product description

2.1 General

The iFLEX TRS 14 is a transceiver for the wireless coupling of wireless sensors from the Hirsch­mann xSENS-xxx-W1 family.

Up to 4 wireless sensors can be connected wirelessly to a single iFLEX TRS 14. The number of
wireless sensors can be extended as required by the employment of several transceivers.

How many sensors
can be connected?

All sensors from the xSENS-xxx-W1 family from Hirschmann’s extensive range of wireless sensors
can be used.
(the article numbers given on the right refer in each case to the sensors including accessories)

Product description

2.2 Product features

The iFLEX TRS 14 is characterised by the following features:

 Wireless coupling of up to four wireless sensors from the xSENS-xxx-W1 family

 Registration of a wireless sensor to the receiver at the push of a button

 Relay output for hoist limit signal

 Four analog signal outputs (configurable for current/voltage)

 Status LEDs for signalling various operating conditions

 Monitoring of the battery condition of the connected wireless sensors

 Self-diagnostic function

 Sensor calibration by radio command

 Protection class IP65, hence also suitable for outdoor use

 Operating temperature -40 to +85 °C

 Voltage supply 10 to 30 V DC

2.3 Use for the intended purpose

The iFLEX TRS 14 is a transceiver for the transmission of sensor data collected wirelessly from up
to four radio sensors from the xSENS-xxx-W1 family.

Configurable signal outputs make universal adaptation possible. Because of possible impairment of
radio communication/range in direct proximity to antenna systems with a high HF transmission
power, the device must not be used in the direct proximity of radar systems or transmitters (e.g.
radio, TV, mobile telephone etc.) or close to power supply systems.

2.4 Scope of supply

The scope of supply of the iFLEX TRS 14 with accessories (art. no. 608177) consists of the follow­ing parts:

 iFLEX TRS 14

 Magnetic base antenna with 4 m connecting cable

 Antenna radiator

 Connecting cable, 4,7 m, with prefabricated central plug at one end

 User manual on CD
