The transmitter module is connected to an RS232 device with the RJ12 to
DB9 connector cable provided. There are two slide switches on the unit:

SW1

• Standard Power- The RF module is powered on continuously. The

transmitter module can communicate wireless at any time.

• Save Power – The RF module is powered on only when there is data

activity on the RS232 port, otherwise the RF module is set to sleep mode
to save power. This mode may be selected when the wireless transmitter
is connected & powered by a battery powered device. While the RF
module is in sleep mode, there is no wireless communication between the
transmitter & receiver modules. The RF module can only be waken from
the RS232 device when there is data activity.

SW2

• Normal – The slide switch should be set to Normal when the transmitter

is connected to an RS232 device.

• CONFIG – The slide switch should be set to Config when the transmitter

is connected to the PC for configuration.

The transmitter can be powered either directly thru the RJ12 connection by
the RS232 device, or can be powered by an external 9 Vdc adaptor. The DC
adaptor can be purchased as an optional accessory.

When mounting your wireless transmitter, care should be taken to make
sure it is as far away from any metal objects. Otherwise, it has the potential
to interfere with the way the unit radiates and may cause signal lose or
possibly even the inability to communicate at all with your receiver.

When installing your wireless transmitter it is important to position your
device in such a way as to optimize the antenna location within what’s
known as the “Fresnel Zone”.

The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel
between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your
transmitter and receiver.

Figure 2-9 Fresnel Zone

In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which
radio waves travel must be free of all obstructions. Obstacles in the path
(especially metal) will decrease the communication range between your
transmitter and receiver. Also, Transmission over half of the Fresnel zone
ends up being obstructed by the earth resulting in significant reduction in
range. To avoid this problem, the transmitter should be mounted high
enough off of the ground so that the earth does not interfere with the
central diameter of the Fresnel zone.

It is important to understand that the environment may change over time due
to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction, etc. If
new obstacles exist between your transmitter and receiver, the devices can be
raised on one end or on both ends to hopefully clear the Fresnel Zone of
obstructions.

No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By definition, co­location is when another radio device or it’s antenna is located within 20
cm of your receiver/transmitter and can transmit simultaneously with your
unit.

Never install the WRS232 wireless transmitters within 20 cm or less from
each other.

Section 3 – Transmitter/Receiver Configuration

The Configuration CD comes with a Wizard software which allows the user
to read or change the configuration of the transmitter/receiver. You need to
install the software by following the menus. Once the wizard software is
installed, you can configure the transmitter (Thru RS232 connection) or
receiver (Thru USB connection) from the PC software.

Your PC should meet the following minimum requirements in order to
install and operate the wizard software:

• Windows 2000, XP, or Vista

• 200 MB of Hard drive

• 256 MB of RAM

• 1 CD ROM drive

• One USB and one RS232 port

The factory default settings for the transmitter/ receiver modules are:

Baud Rate: 9600 BPS

Channel No. = 1

You can change the baud rate and/or the channel number for the
transmitter/ receiver using the wizard software. The baud rate and channel
number for the transmitter should always match the receiver settings,
otherwise the two modules will not communicate.

The Baud rate can be set to anywhere from 1200 to 230,400 BPS. The
Channel number can be set to channels 1 thru 12.

3-1 Multiple Transmitters

When using one transmitter with one receiver, there is no need to change
the channel number. However, one receiver can communicate with multiple
transmitters (Up to 12) one at a time by changing the channel number of the
receiver module to match the transmitter module. So if there are five
transmitters, they should be configured to Channels 1 thru 5.

Transmitter #1 set to Channel 1

Transmitter #2 set to Channel 2

----

----

Transmitter #5 set to Channel 5

Then the receiver can be set to channel 1 to communicate with transmitter
#1, or channel 2 to communicate with transmitter #2, and so on and so forth.

3.2 Environment/Operating Conditions

The wireless transmitter and receiver modules have been designed to be
operated in a clean and dry indoor environment. Care should be taken to
prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to
moisture, toxic chemicals and extreme cold or hot temperature that are
outside the specifications listed in this manual.

3.2.1 Operating Conditions

The following is a list of basic good practice you should apply when
operating your wireless system.

• Never operate your wireless device outside the recommended
environmental limits specified in this manual.

• Never operate your wireless device in flammable or explosive
environments.

• Never use your wireless device in medical, nuclear or other other
dangerous applications were failure can cause damage or harm.

• No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio device or it’s
antenna is located within 20 cm of your transmitter and can
transmit simultaneously with your unit.

• Never install receiver/transmitters within 20 cm or less from
each other.

• Never install and/or operate your transmitter/receiver closer
than 20 cm to nearby persons.

3.3 Determining and Maximizing Range

The available maximum range specified for this wireless system is only
achievable under optimum installation conditions. Mounting height, obstructions
in your “Fresnel Zone” and ambient conditions can affect the signal strength
resulting in a shorter range between your transmitter and receiver unit.

The following recommendations will help to improve the range of your
wireless system.

Position your receiver in a central location

When multiple transmitters are in operation, position your receiver unit in a
central space if possible in equal distance to each wireless transmitter.

Figure 3-1 Determining Maximum Range

Test your system before permanent mounting

Before permanently mounting your transmitters in your application try
moving the devices to different locations and mounting angles to determine
what installation achieves the best signal strength.

Move your system components higher off the floor and away from
exterior walls

Avoid installing your system components too close to the floor or near your
buildings exterior walls. The closer your transmitter and receiver unit are
the greater the interference and lose of signal strength will be.

Maintain a line of sight (LOS) between transmitter/receiver

Maintaining a clear line of sight between your transmitter and receiver unit
will produce improved signal strength over a system that has obstacles
blocking it.

Maintain a constant ambient temperature environment

Maintaining a constant ambient temperature environment is important to
achieving maximum signal strength. Exposing your system components to
extreme hot or cold temperatures, or sudden changes in ambient conditions
will have an effect on the performance of your system.

3.4 Operation in Buildings

The Wireless Transmitter sends wireless data transmissions to a receiver
connected to your PC. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves. A radio
signal becomes weaker the further it travels. Range is decreased by different
types of materials found in the direction of the signals propagation. Radio
waves can penetrate most types of wall materials, but they are dampened
more than they would be by a direct line-of-sight installation.

3.5 Building Materials

Examples of how different types of wall material may reduce your signal:

Material Type Possible Signal Reduction

Wood, Plaster, Sheetrock, Uncoated 0 to 10%
Glass w/o Metal, Fiberglass

Brick, Pressboard 5 to 35%
Reinforced Concrete 10 to 90%
Metal Walls, Metal Doors, Elevators,

Metal Stair Cases, Metal Piping, 90 to 100%
Metal Mesh, Metal Screening

Figure 3-2 Operation In Buildings

Avoid dampening materials by repositioning the transmitting and/or
receiver.

3.6. Penetration Angle of Radio Waves through Walls

The angle at which the transmitted radio signal hits a wall is very important
and also has a big effect on maximizing range. Signals between your
transmitter should be transmitted as directly as possible.
