FREQUENCY BAND
AIR series radio remote controls can work at two different frequency bands:
- 433.050 - 434.790 MHz
- 915.000 - 928.000 MHz.
The frequency band is selected by DIP 1 under the transmitting unit's battery and DIP 1 on the receiving unit's mother board.
These DIPs shall be set in the same way.
DIP 1 shall be set when the unit is off:
- press the STOP pushbutton in the transmitting unit
- disconnect power supply from the receiving unit.
ON: 915-928MHz
OFF: 433.05-434.79MHz
If a radio remote control shall be used in the United States, after setting DIP 1 in the ON position, this DIP switch must be
blocked (e.g. with glue, enamel...) so that it is not possible for operators to modify the frequency band.
This request arises from FCC requirements, and it is therefore necessary for the radio remote control to be compliant.
Before putting a radio remote control into the United States' market, it is compulsory to check that DIP 1 on the trans-
mitting unit is blocked as described above: if it is not, it must be blocked.
Frequency use mode
The RADIO MODE programming allows to set the radio remote control in automatic frequency scan mode (AUTO) or in man-
ual frequency selection mode (MANUAL).
Automatic scan mode
In AUTO mode, the radio remote control automatically chooses the working frequency among the frequencies in the selected
BANK GROUP. The radio remote control checks that a frequency is free before using it.
Manual selection mode
In MANUAL mode, the radio remote control uses a fixed working frequency, that can be set with the following procedure:
1. With the help of the frequency table, identify FREQUENCY BAND, LOGICAL CHANNEL,
CHANNEL BANK and BANK GROUP related to the desired frequency.
2. Set FREQUENCY BAND with DIP 1.
3. Set RADIO MODE to MANUAL.
4. Set BANK GROUP.
5. Set CHANNEL BANK and LOGICAL CHANNEL.
