3. RTR-61 Registration

This application is designed to carry out Base Unit (RTR-5W / RTR-50),

Repeater (RTR-50) and Remote Unit (RTR-61) Registration.

Page 52

RTR-61 Registration

Image of Registration

Base Unit

When using an RTR-50 as a Base Unit, only one unit can be registered to one computer. When using an RTR-5W as a Base Unit, multiple numbers of units can be registered to one computer.

About Repeaters

A "Repeater" is dened as an RTR-50 Wireless Communication Port that has been registered as a "Repeater" to act as a relay for Wireless Communication between a Base Unit and Remote Units from the our RTR-61.

Image of Registration

- Once the registration of a Repeater is complete, a Repeater Number will automatically be assigned to each Repeater.

- Also, when carrying out Repeater Registration it is possible to assign a "Relay Route Name" that can be used to make sure that data is transmitted through a multiple number of Repeaters in the specied route.

Page 53

RTR-61 Registration

NOTE:

- It is possible to set up so that more than one Repeater acts as a relay for the same Remote Units. However because wireless communication is carried out in Groups of Remote Units, the same Group will be relayed through different Repeaters causing inefciency and an increase in the amount of communication time to more than necessary. In order to reduce the communication time, please design Relay Routes so that a particular Group of Remote Units uses the same Repeater(s).

- A Repeater Number will be automatically assigned to Repeaters in the order that they were registered to each Route. Communication among Repeaters will occur in sequence from the one that is closest to the Base Unit. Please keep that in mind when placing the Repeaters.

EX: Correct Communication Order

Communication will occur sequentially from the rst Repeater as shown below.

EX: When Repeaters are not placed in numerical sequence order

If the Repeaters are not arranged in numerical sequence from the Base Unit, the

communication route will be as seen below. This will cause not only the communication distance to increase but also the communication time to increase to longer than necessary.

* Limitations when using a Repeater

Although it is logically possible to register up to 250 Repeaters in a route, each additional Repeater added to the route will proportionately increase communication time. To download the full amount of data from one Remote Unit without any Repeaters will take about 6 minutes, hence with the addition of each Repeater the amount of necessary communication time will be increased by 6 minutes. If there are 9 units, the necessary time would reach about 60 minutes. Communication time for an RTR-50 is set to be limited to no longer than 150 minutes. For this reason, if there were 250 Repeaters it would be impossible to download the full data of even one Remote Unit. If it is necessary to download a unit with full data, then it is also necessary to have no more than 20 Repeaters. For all communications other than downloading, no conict with the time limitation will occur, even if there are 250 Repeaters present.
