9.0 COMMUNICATOR OPERATION
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the Communicator to scroll through the displays of all
active LTL 730s and a total screen.
The Cooper Instruments Communicator is a remote display and control module designed to work with the LTL
730. It can be connected by wire or can communicate by radio if both the Communicator and LTL 730 are
equipped with optional radio boards.
The Communicator may simultaneously view and control several dynamometers at one time. Each is monitored
individually by assigning unique numeric identifiers to each (addresses).
Several Communicators may operate in the same airspace if they are on different channels.
For best performance always have different identifiers for LTL 730s within the same network and use different
channels for systems operating anywhere close to one another.
Since most functions are identical, you should refer to the LTL 730 section for comprehensive explanation and
the Communicator’s section will highlight differences that exist.
The Communicator is designed to be similar in layout and function to an LTL 730 to make operation easy and
intuitive. The main screen appears as it does on the LTL 730 except that the Mode soft key has been blanked.
This has an actual hard key on the remote.
9.1 Powerup Display
These annunciators on the Communicator display show battery level and radio operation for
the Communicator (right side pair) and the active LTL 730 (left side pair).
An example of a Communicator’s powerup display is shown below:
There are three soft keys on the first display and 4 on the second display. The soft key functions are described
below:
Units
