WARNING

Holatron Systems specializes in the design and manufacture of s

tandard and custom electronic

control systems where reliability and error free data communication are critical. The transmitter

described in this manual is part of a system intended to remotely actuate pyrotechnic or other

hazardous devices, and the compon

ents of this system have been carefully designed to

minimize the possibility of accidental actuation of such devices. Holatron’s design goal is to

ensure that data communication errors due to radio interference or to insufficient signal strength

due to low

battery, exceeding specified range, or conductive objects in the signal path will result

in failure of intentional actuation rather than unintended actuation. Techniques used to achieve

this design goal are described in section 1.

. Though the probability

of unintended actuation is

extremely small, it cannot be guaranteed to be zero. Therefore,

it is important that the user

not enable the receiver until all persons who might be harmed by accidental actuation

are in a safe area

This manual is divided into two sections. The first is a description of the system hardware. The

second covers the recommended operating and maintenance proced

ure.

1.0

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION.

The model RFLS

6HSXTX variable channel high speed UHF Transmitter is a low power

hand

held remote control transmitter which can actuate up to 72 separate devices

connected to six RFLS

12HSRC receivers (12 cues, each),

or to

twelve RFLS

9HSRC or

RFLS

49HSRC receivers (6 cues, each), or to a combination thereof. Transmitted

commands actuate one of twelve possible output numbers and are transmitted over any

of six different digital channels. Each receiver contains a digital swit

ch which is used to

select the channel which will activate the receiver.

Six 12

shot receivers or six pairs of 6

shot receivers are typically set to six separate channels for this purpose

When first powered up, a transmitter is ready to transmit commands

on its “base

channel”. The “base channel” setting is fixed in software at time of manufacture and

cannot be changed. A label displaying the base channel setting is affixed to the top of

the transmitter next to its antenna. If no more than 12 cues are bein

g actuated per

transmitter, transmitters fixed to separate base channel numbers can transmit

simultaneously without interfering with each other. This permits up to six different

receivers or groups of receivers to be controlled by separate transmitters

sim

ultaneously.

Each transmitter will only actuate receivers whose digital channel

switches are set to select the same channel number as the controlling transmitter.

Thus,

multiple transmitters may be used to simultaneously control different selected receiver

even though all are operating on the same frequency. RFLS

6HS

XTX transmitters fixed

to the same base channel number should not be used simultaneously, as they will

interfere with each other and possibly result in failure

fire.

More than twelve separa

te cues can be actuated from a single RFLS

6HSXTX

transmitter in

semi

automatic (single

shot)

automatic (machine

gun)

mode by using

multiple digital channels. To actuate cues in

semi

automatic mode, press the “

” button

repeatedly, as described in secti

on 1.4. While armed, each button press fires the next

output in sequence, starting from output number 1

of the base channel

. After output 12 is

fired, the next press switches the transmitter to the next higher channel number and fires

output 1 on the recei

ver set to that channel. Firing continues through those 12 outputs,

after which the transmitter again switches to the next higher channel number, etc. After

output 12 is fired on channel 6, the transmitter switches to channel 1, and firing

continues from o

utput 1 on that channel. To actuate cues

When used with RFLS

9HSRC,

RFLS

9HSARC, RFLS

49HSRC,

RFLS

49HSARC,

RFLS

912HSRC, or RFLS

912HSARC receivers, a range of ½ mil

e can be achieved. All

inscriptions on the transmitter panel are luminescent to facilitate use of the transmitter in

a dark environment. The panel will continue to glow for two to three hours after being

exposed to a bright light source. The transmitter’s

commands are digitally encoded and

amplitude modulated on a single carrier frequency of 418 MHz (or optionally 433.96

MHz). This frequency is controlled by a SAW (surface acoustic wave) device for

exceptional stability. No alignment or tuning procedures a

re ever required to maintain

optimum performance.

The modulated RF output occurs continuously while one of the

two transmit buttons is depressed. Resulting receiver output is continuous while the “A”

button command signal is being transmitted, and the receiver fires outputs in rapid

fire

mode at a rate selected by the FIRE RATE SELECTION SWITCH while the “B” button

command signal is being transmitted.

The command signal is transmitted by amplitude

modulating the carrier to indicate to the receiver

which cha

nnel and

which outputs

are

be actuated.

The user has access to the following components:

1.1

THE ANTENNA.

The RF signal is radiated by a quarter

wave flexible whip antenna which screws

onto the top end of the transmitter box.

The transmitter should never

operated without this antenna in place, as damage to the RF components

could result. Such operation will void the warranty.

Antennas with red rings are used for 433 MHz, and antennas with blue rings are

used for 418 MHz.

Be careful not to overtighten

the antenna when screwing it on,

as this could cause its mating connector to rotate and break its internal

connection. Rotation could also occur, with the same result, when subsequent

removal of an overtightened antenna is attempted. The recommended way to

install the antenna is to grasp it by its small diameter upper part and rotate gently

in a clockwise direction until increased resistance is felt. It need not be tight to

achieve a good electrical connection. When removing the antenna for storage,

observe

the base of the mating connector to ensure that it is not rotating. If the

antenna is so tight that rotation is occurring, grasp the hex base of the mating

connector with long nose pliers, and then unscrew the antenna.

1.2

THE SAFETY LOCKING SWITCH.

The Saf

ety Locking Switch is a miniature keylock with two positions, “Safe” and

“Xmtr Enabled”. In the “Safe” position no RF output occurs even if a button is

pressed. In the “Xmtr Enabled” position modulated RF output occurs

continuously while a button is presse

d. Whether transmitting or not, a

green

warning indicator near the switch flashes whenever the switch is in its “Enabled”

position and the battery voltage is above the low battery detect threshold.

Approximately 1 milliamp is drained continuously from the

battery while the

transmitter is enabled and not transmitting. So this switch should always be

turned to the “Safe” position while the transmitter is not being used. Keys are

interchangeable, as all Holatron RFLS

6HS

and RFLS

6HSXTX

transmitters

are keye

d the same.

of 1

Firing always commences at cue 1

of the transmitter’s base channel

after the

transmitter has first been enabled. Thus

the system

can be reset to cue 1

of the

base channel

at any time by turning this switch momentarily to “Safe” and then

back t

o “Transmitter Enabled”.

The system will be similarly reset if the

transmitter’s digital switch setting which selects automatic firing rate is changed

during operation.

1.3

THE “XMTR ENABLED” INDICATOR.

This

green

lamp, located at the “Enabled” position of t

he lockswitch, warns the

user that transmission will occur when a button is pressed, and that battery drain

is occurring. It also verifies that battery voltage is adequate to transmit a signal

over the specified range.

When the transmitter is turned on (transmitter enabled) with the keylock switch,

battery status is indicated by the flashing of this lamp. It is of sufficiently high

intensity to be visible in direct sunlight and will flash intermittently in bursts of

one, two, or three flashes at a time if

the battery has enough capacity to power

the transmitter. If no flashing occurs, the battery must be replaced before the

transmitter can be used reliably. Three flashes per burst indicate that the battery

has full capacity, two flashes indicate that its c

apacity is beginning to diminish,

and one flash indicates that it is near the end of its useful lifetime in which case it

should be replaced immediately after the current use. Adequate transmitter

output to achieve the specified range will occur as long as

the battery voltage is

above approximately 7.0 volts, but the battery voltage will drop rapidly at this

point.

1.4

THE FIRE BUTTONS.

These buttons are snap action dome switches under a sealed overlay, labeled

“Fire A” and “Fire B”, respectively.

“Fire A” c

auses cues to be fired in semi

automatic (single

shot) mode, and “Fire B” fires cues in automatic (machine

gun)

mode. These buttons

have a high spring constant which requires a firm

depression for actuation, decreasing the likelihood of accidental depressi

on. The

enabled transmitter can be kept in a shirt or jacket pocket without fear of

accidental button depression.

The transmitter is idle while no buttons are pressed. Continuous transmission

occurs while

a button is pressed

Depression of

either

button

fires the next receiver output after the one fired last.

For example, if output 3 had been fired last, pressing “Fire A” would cause output

4 to fire, etc. Depression of

either

button after firing output 12 will switch the

transmitter to the next channel a

fter the previously selected one, and output 1 will

be fired on that channel. Thus,

this transmitter can

fire a series of up to 72

sequential shots spanning six 12 output receivers or twelve 6 output receivers or

a combination thereof. (See following diagr

ams.) Note that after powering up the

transmitter, output 1 will be the first receiver output fired by a depression of either

transmitter button, and commands will be directed to receivers set to the

transmitter’s “base channel”.

Output firing pulses are

stretched to a minimum duration of 0.6 seconds

in the

receivers

to ensure that all cues fire reliably, even when the

fire

button

are

pressed for a shorter period of time.

Note that it is not necessary to wait for the

completion of the 0.6 second firing pu

lse period before firing subsequent cues.

They can be fired as fast as the operator can press the button, provided that

each button depression lasts at least 0.

second

, followed by at least 0.1 second

with the button released

If many transmitters are tra

nsmitting simultaneously, it

may be necessary to depress a fire button slightly longer than 0.2 second in

order to ensure an output from the receiver.

NOTE:

Firing always commences at the next cue after the last one fired when

resuming fire in the same mode (semi

automatic or automatic) as last

fired. When resuming fire in the opposite mode, firing will commence with

the next cue in most cases, but under some circumstances at very high

fire rates, a cue may be refired or skipped due to uncertanties in rece

iver

THE TRANSMIT INDICATOR.

This is a high intensity

red

indicator, visible in direct sunlight, that lights

continuously while the transmitter is generating RF output. It is located between

the two buttons. It will l

ight even if the battery voltage is below the low battery

detect threshold.

1.6

THE BATTERY.

Power is supplied from an alkaline 9 volt battery, accessible beneath a slide

out

door on the back side of the transmitter. This battery should be replaced when

req

uired by conditions described in section 1.3 above. In order to prevent the

possibility of damage due to battery leakage, the battery should always be

removed if the transmitter is to be stored for a prolonged period. Damage due to

battery leakage is not c

overed under the warranty.
