The RFRC is a
transmit only device that can be used to perform
basic scale functions. The default switch functions
can be changed in the function key menus and used
for any MSI-3460 programmable functions. Range
will vary from 25' to 100' (50' typical) depending on
room conditions and line of sight to the display. The
remote receiving antenna is behind the red lens of
the meter and best range will occur when the display
is visible to the operator using the RFRC.
The RFRC provides the ability to turn the MSI-3460
on remotely. The RFRC is available in three versions
differing only in transmit frequency. The standard
USA version operates at 418MHz. Available
alternative frequencies are 315MHz and 433MHz
primarily for use in countries other than the USA.
6.2 Functions
The default functions of the RF remote control
duplicates the functions of the front panel keys on
MSI-3460 RF indicator. The POWER, ZERO, NET/
GROSS, TARE, TOTAL, and VIEW TOTAL keys
function identically. The TOTAL still must be
enabled and configured in the MSI-3460 before the
total features will function properly.
The F1 key corresponds to the USER key on the
MSI-3460 front panel. The F2 key is unique to the
remote and the function is set using the Func2 setup
menu.
When a successful transmission is achieved, the
ACK blue light will illuminate on the MSI-3460 front panel.
6.3 Setting the Transmitter Address
The MSI RF remote control transmitter allows the selection of one of 16,777,216
(2
24
) unique addresses. All transmitters are supplied set to the same address. To avoid
contention with other units or to create unique relationships, the address should be
changed. This is accomplished by using a paper clip or probe to press the CREATE
button on the board through the hole in the back of the case.
