B. RF Settings
Caution: The RF Receiver/Control Module and all transmitters’ communication
addresses have been set at the factory. They should not require any additional address
settings. The left-right rotation envelope has been set at the factory for 360° (+/- 180° from
center). If an alternate rotational envelope is desired or if manual override is used without
power provided to the left-right motor, see section IV.C Left/Right Rotation Envelope
Programming for reprogramming of the left-right rotation envelop.
A RF transmitter controls the 8494 RF monitor. The transmitter uses a security code to
ensure that it does not accidentally control the wrong monitor. The RF Receiver/Control
Module verifies the security code and then interprets commands. The security code is a 15-
bit selectable code that is set on both the transmitter and the RF Receiver/Control Module.
The 8494 RF monitor is tested and shipped with a security code based upon the monitor
serial number, ensuring each monitor leaves the factory with a unique code assigned to it.
The security settings will normally not need to be changed. In cases where a replacement
transmitter, new transmitter, or RF Receiver/Control Module circuit board is needed, Elkhart
Brass will require the 8494 RF monitor’s serial number. This allows the address to be set at
the factory on the new unit.
Danger: DO NOT attempt to set two or more systems with identical addresses.
Using two W.E.T. monitors with the same, security code may cause the inadvertent control of
the wrong monitor, resulting in possible property damage and injury to personnel. Using the
factory specified codes will prevent this problem.
