When you install the system please pay attention to the module numbers. As an example if you want to install system “A” please select A1, A2, & A3 modules. Each system communicate each other using 4 different frequency bands. Which is, System A – 470 MHz, System B – 472 MHz, System C – 474 MHz and System D – 476 MHz.
6. How to operate the system
- Input Data (A1, B1, C1 or D1)
Type any two digit value to device A1 and hit Enter to save the typed number in to the device. You can repeat the process until all the 6 rows are filled. If you try to enter more than 6 values it will show you an Error message. As soon as you stop typing device will automatically transfer the data to other modules, which is A2 & A3.
- Delete Data (A2, B2, C2 or D2)
If you entered data using the module A1 then you could see the same data set on module A2. If you wish to delete values in the rows please press appropriate row number using the number pad and now you’ll be able to see the pressed number on the Blue color 7-Segment screen (yellow arrow). Now please press the Del button and then Enter button. Appropriate row will set to zero and also same row will be set to zero automatically on the module A1.
