RF Wireless Receiver Model TL-Rx-315

DESCRIPTION

Thank you for purchasing model TL-Rx-315. It is a general purpose radio frequency (RF) receiver that operates at 315 MHz. Together with a compatible handheld RF transmitter, they provide indoor wireless remote control for a variety of TLE or third party devices. For example, figure 1 shows wireless remote control of RF signal switch (four input and 1 output) used for remote RF/Video signal monitoring. The function of the TL-Rx-315 is to receive RF signals sent by the RF transmitter, then translate the signals into a RS-232-compliant output, which can be carried by a control cable to a compatible controlled device.

Application

General remote control. Figure 3 shows an example of wireless remote control of the RF Switcher used in a small building for TV/RF signal distribution.

Save this User’s Manual - It contains important installation and operating instructions.

Please read all instructions before installing and operating.

Please note: The receiver will not operate properly if it is located in RF-shielded areas, such as behind or within metal walls or floor

obstructions.

HOW IT WORKS

TL-Rx-315 can receive signals from each transmitter, and then output the signal via control cable to a controlled device. (e.g., TL-EMS-2x4 - two-input by fouroutput RF Switch)

Garage

Remote Control Range = 100 feet plus control cable length (see Figure 2) Remote controls (TL-Tx-315) are used to select input A or B for outputs 1 through 4.

* Multiple remote controls can be used, provided there is a two-second gap between transmissions.

The firmware in TL-EMS-2x4 Switcher determines Tx control functions.

4.0 INSTALLATION and CONNECTIONS

TL-Rx-315 (Receiver) Location The Receiver can be located close to the controlled device or far from it. For optimal performance, the receiver should be located in an

interference-free location with minimal obstructions. The remote control works best when the physical distance between the Receiver and the Transmitter is less than 100 feet through usual indoor building materials.

Control Cable Connection

Connected one end of control cable to TL-Rx-315 and other end to the Controlled Device. The TL-Rx-315 has a circular 4-pin DIN output jack. The control cable is a shielded four-conductor control cable with 4-pin circular DIN plug ends. Standard cable length is 6 feet but an optional extended control cable up to 400 feet in length is also available.

Install TL-Rx-315 indoors, do not immerse in water, and avoid locating the TL-Rx-315 in direct sunlight or in temperatures below +14°F (-10°C) or above +122°F (+50°C).

Antenna Orientation: The TL-Rx-315 includes an articulating antenna which can be adjusted for best performance (see Figure 4). In general orientate the Receiver and Transmitter antennas perpendicular to the floor.

DO NOT modify the Receiver.

The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

5.0 OPERATION

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.

The TL-Rx-315 is powered from the controlled device. When the control cable is connected and power (+5V DC) is applied, the LED on the receiver will flash rapidly to indicate it will receive the remote control transmissions.

Operating the Remote Control - To send a control signal, press down a button and hold for 1 second, then release.

Operating range (see Figures 2, 3)

Wireless remote control range is up 100 ft with typical indoor obstructions. The control range between TL-Tx-315 and controlled device is up to 400 feet. This can be further increased with a signal conversion option.

Limitations:

The TL-Rx-315 and Remote Control range will vary depending on operational and environmental conditions. The Receiver and Remote Controls will not function if located between RF shielded areas. RF signals will not travel through metal obstructions (e.g., aluminized wall panels). Multiple Transmitters (Tx) can operate in same reception area. All Tx use the same frequency, therefore, allow two seconds’ separation between transmissions. Note: Each Tx has a distinct address and will be recognized individually by the controlled device.

Pin 1 (green wire) is TX of RS-232. (5.0v, TTL) Pin 2 (white wire) is RX of RS-232. (5.0v, TTL) Pin 3 (black wire) is ground Pin 4 (red wire) is for 5.0v power supply

Circular DIN Connector

The RS 232 Signal Output Sequence:

When the TL-Rx-315 (Rx) receives valid signal from a transmitter it will send 6 bytes of data to the RS-232 port. The first three bytes are 3 ASCII characters “STR”, the fourth byte is the low byte of the address of the transmitter, the fifth byte is the high byte of the address of the transmitter, and the sixth byte is Button Pressed information (see Table 1). After sending 6 bytes data to RS-232 port, the Rx will wait for an answer. If the answer is ASCII character 'K', the Rx will cease sending data to RS-232 port. If the answer is ASCII character 'e', the module will send the same data to RS-232 port again. If no answer occurs during 10 ms, the module will repeat sending the same data to RS-232 port.
