First of all, screw the antenna radiator

hand tight onto the thread on the top side of the antenna

base until you feel a stop. (Remove the protective cap from the thread if necessary).

Preparation of the

antenna

The antenna has a magnetic baseplate and adheres securely to all ferromagnetic surfaces thanks to its strong magnet.

How do I mount the

antenna?

NOTE

Optimal ranges are achieved if the antenna is aligned in accordance with the alignment of the wireless sensor antennas and can radiate as freely as possible.

Niches or recesses are therefore less suitable as mounting locations!

21-810-19-0003_421830_en (Rev A).doc / 2010-08-31 / Issue A / rk.

Installation

Please follow the instructions below for laying the antenna cable:

How should the

cable be laid?

IMPORTANT

The antenna cable can be damaged if it is squeezed or kinked. Therefore, lay the antenna cable in such a way that it is neither squeezed nor laid around

sharp edges!

IMPORTANT

The function of the antenna and hence the whole system can be impaired if a mismatch in g antenna radiator is used.

Always use the antenna radiator contained in the scope of supply!

After laying the cable, connect the coaxial connector of the antenna to the antenna socket on the underside of the iFLEX TRS 14. Screw the connector on hand tight.

Commissioning

4 Commissioning

At least one functional wireless sensor must be available in order to commission and operate the system.

A guide to commissioning and configuring the signal outputs of the iFLEX TRS 14 and connecting the wireless sensors is provided below.

NOTE

During the initial commissioning and the necessary registratio n of the wireless sensors, it is useful if these are not yet mounted, but are available close to the iFLEX TRS14.

4.1 Switching the device on

After wiring the iFLEX TRS 14, the device switches itself on as soon as the supply voltage is present. The red ‘Power’ LED lights up. After switching on, the system begins with a self-diagnostic routine.

How is the device

switched on?

The self-diagnosis takes approx. 3 seconds. During these tests the ‘Info’ LED additionally flashes and the remaining LEDs light up in succession with a test pattern:

How long does the

self-diagnosis take?

LED key: off: lights: flashes slowly: flashes rapidly:

If no wireless sensors have been registered yet, only the ‘Power’ LED should be lit after completion of the self-diagnosis:

How can I tell

whether the device is

working correctly?

If wireless sensors have already been registered, the ‘Online’ LED of the respective channel additionally lights up, indicating that the radio link has been established.

21-810-19-0003_421830_en (Rev A).doc / 2010-08-31 / Issue A / rk.

Commissioning

If a ‘Low Battery’ LED lights up, this means that the battery set in the respective wireless sensor is exhausted (remaining capacity < 6,5 %) and must be replaced as soon as possible.

Which does it mean

when the ‘Low Batt’

LED lights up?

If the ‘INFO’ LED lights up, this means that one of the connected wireless hoist limit switches has reported ‘hoist limit’. At the same time, the relay contact opens and there is no voltage at the signal output. The LED may also light up briefly after the iFLEX TRS 14 is switched on, until the radio link to the registered hoist limit switches has been established. If the LED remains lit, this means that the radio link to a registered wireless hoist limit switch is interrupted. In this case the ‘Online’ LED assigned to the respective channel also flashes.

What does it mean

when the ‘Info’ LED

lights up?

The flashing of an ‘ONLINE’ LED after conclusion of the self-diagnosis means that either the radio link with the registered wireless sensor on the indicated channel is interrupted, or, in conjunction with the lighting up of the ‘INFO’ LED, that a wireless hoist limit switch on the indicated channel is in ‘sleep’ mode. This mode is activated automatically if the hoist limit switch remains in the hoist limit condition for a lengthy period of time. This function serves to reduce the power requirement of the hoist limit switch. The function is reset automatically upon the next switching of the hoist limit switch.

What does it mean

when an ‘Online’

LED flashes?

NOTE

If the link to a wireless sensor is interrupted, rectify the fault first before putting the system into operation.

21-810-19-0003_421830_en (Rev A).doc / 2010-08-31 / Issue A / rk.

Commissioning

4.4 Preconfiguration of the output signals (current/voltage)

The analog signal outputs (channels 1 to 4) are commonly preconfigured in the factory as 4-20 mA current outputs. If necessary the signal outputs can also be commonly configured as voltage outputs.

NOTE

The signal outputs (channels 1 to 4) can be commonly configured either as current outputs or as voltage outputs. A mixed configuration is not possible!

The conversion is made by changing the jumpers on the circuit board and subsequently selecting the signal range via the programming button. These elements are only accessible after opening the device. (See chapter

4.3)

How can the outputs

be configured as voltage outputs?

The jumpers for configuring the output signals are located above the LEDs for the corresponding channels 1 - 4:

Jumper

Now set the jumpers identically for each channel according to the sketch below:

▲ Jumper setting

for current outputs

(standard)

▲ Jumper setting for voltage outputs

NOTE

If you have configured the signal outputs as voltage outputs, it is also necessary to select the signal range. (See chapter 5.4)

21-810-19-0003_421830_en (Rev A).doc / 2010-08-31 / Issue A / rk.

Service and maintenance

6 Service and maintenance

The iFLEX TRS 14 transceiver does not contain any serviceable parts. The micro-fuse inside the device is self-resetting and therefore does not need to be exchanged. If you notice malfunctions, you should switch the device off and have it checked and, if necessary, repaired immediately by an authorised Hirschmann service partner.

Clean the surface of the equipment occasionally with a damp cloth using a mild cleaning agent. However, you should never use abrasive or alcohol-based cleaning agents, as these can damage the housing or the front foil!

IMPORTANT

Damage to the front foil can lead to the penetration of moisture and dirt into the interior of the device.

Never clean the device with a high pressure cleaner! Have damage to th e fro nt foil rep aired professionally without delay!

Keep the contact area of the device plug and the antenna connector clean and occasionally check that the connections are tight.

Occasionally check the connecting cable and antenna cable as well as the antenna itself. If parts are damaged, these must be repaired properly or replaced immediately.
