1.0 PowerCom Mini

1.1 Introduction

This product consists of wireless (RF) keypads

and a Base Station. The system is generally used

to record answers to multiple choice questions

as part of a classroom presentation, decision-

making session, focus group, or

videoconference. It offers methods for

collecting and immediately reporting group

response data.

PowerCom Mini is a cordless handheld

response system that provides numeric

data interaction for meeting or

learning environments. Keypad

responses are transmitted to the Base

Station, which processes and delivers

the information to the attached

computer.

Application software operates the Base

Station and controls its associated

Keypads. While the system’s hardware

may offer powerful features, application

software is the essential ingredient in applying

the technology to generate useful results.

1.2 Applications/Advantages

Many meeting and learning venues require a

mechanism for audience interaction. Moreover,

many seek a method of automating surveys and

grading activities. PowerCom Mini meets the

need for such an interactive tool, bringing

everyone together and instantly allowing

measurement of interest, understanding, and

involvement.

Audience members can participate from

their seat and personally indicate their

opinions, ideas, and knowledge.

Results of the interaction are immediately

available, and their display offers presenters

a valuable insight into the opinion and

comprehension level of audience members.

System setup typically involves handing a

Keypad to every participant and connecting

the Base Station to a computer. No Keypad

wires or cabling need be installed prior to

use. This allows fast, reliable, safe, and

attractive installation.

1.3 RF Communication

The Keypads communicate with the Base

Station using wireless Radio Frequency

(RF) technologies. The patented

proprietary design has been rigorously

tested and optimized for reliability and

collection speed.

2.0 Principles of Operation

PowerCom Mini uses the latest in 2.4 GHz

wireless technology to turn any meeting into a

dynamic interactive experience for each

participant without having to deal with a

nightmare of cables and connectors

All PowerCom® hardware uses Fleetwood’s

patented technology, which is unique in

marketplace to provide two-way communication

with the keypads. This design ensures that no

responses are missed by requiring a keypad to

retransmit the user’s response until it is

properly received by the Base Station. The

design also allows the system to refuse to

acknowledge any invalid entries. This is clearly

superior to other technologies using one –way

radio or infrared, which do not provide

acknowledgement to the keypad when its entry

is received and do not have any way of rejecting

invalid entries.

Figure 1. System Diagram

The Base Station is the control center for the

system and operates according to commands

issued by the application software. The Base

Station can be set to any of the 75 available

channels through the software. Each Base

Station can process responses from up to 500

keypads.

A radio frequency packet is continuously sent

out by the base station when the unit is

powered on. Each base station’s packet can only

be heard by keypads that have been set to the

same channel

3.0 System Description and

Setup

3.1 Room Layout

Figure 2. Typical Room Layout

3.2 Placement of the PowerCom Mini

System

The Base Station can be located anywhere in the

area where the keypads are to be used.

PowerCom Mini keypads can operate in a room

up to 650’ x 650’feet (WRS970-DSIH or

WRS970DSI) in size. Despite a robust

communication system, walls and some other

2.4 GHz devices can moderately to severely

limit the system’s overall performance. If

coverage of a larger area necessary, elevation

of the Base Station or centering in room can

usually improve the reception of the keypad

signals.

Note: Due to the properties of signals operating

at 2.4 GHz, we does not recommend placing any

walls between the base station and the keypads.

The material in a wall tends to absorb the RF

signal and some reduced performance might be

observed.

4.0 How to Use the PowerCom

Mini (WRS7000-DSI-5)

Figure 3. PowerCom Mini keypad

4.1 Powering On

Any key will turn on the keypad. After about 12

seconds, the keypad will automatically power

itself off. The keypad will turn off after

successfully sending a vote.

4.2 Voting

Make sure a base unit is ready to collect votes.

(See appropriate user manual for base station

operation)

There are five number keys that correspond to

values 1-5. When pressing any key, the Green

LED will light to indicate the keypad has turned

on.

The keypad listens for a polling base on the

same Base ID. If the keypad is queried by the

base, the vote is sent. If successful, the green

LED will turn off. A low battery warning may

present itself after the keypad has voted. The

battery warning is the red LED will blink quickly

4 times.

If the keypad is unable to send the vote after

period of 9 seconds, the Red Led will light to

indicate the transfer was unsuccessful. There

are several reasons a vote is not able to

transmit, first, the Base ID of the base may not

be querying the keypad (system not set up to

poll enough keypads or possibly even polling) or

the keypad is out of range of the base unit.

4.3 Key Lockout

The keypad allows for the base unit to lock out

some or all of the five available keys. When a

key is locked out, it will light very briefly the

green LED and then go immediately to red. The

keypad will continue to listen to the base unit if

the key is unlocked during the polling and will

transmit. If another key is not selected during

this time, the keypad will turn after 12 seconds

to conserve battery life.

5.0 Static mode keypad

A keypad in Static mode is configured to a

specific Base ID and address. Each keypad on a

system must be set to the same Base ID of the

Base Station to be used. The address of each

keypad in a system must be a unique number

between 1 and 500.

To obtain best system performance, start at

address 1 and continue up to the number of

keypads to be used.

Once the system is configured, the settings are

maintained indefinitely. The keypad can only be

used on the Base ID it is programmed. If more

flexibility is desired (moving a keypad from base

to base or room to room, for example) use

Dynamic mode operation.

Note: PowerCom Mini only supports Static

address mode, no Dynamic mode operation.

6.0 Keypad Settings Retrieval

6.1 Keypad locally

To verify what settings the keypad has, press

the 1 and 5 key simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Either the red or the green led will light to start

a sequence of blinks representing the Base ID

and keypad address. A green LED flash

represents the numerical values separated by

red LED indicator. The format is as follows:

Tens Digit of Base ID

Red Flash

Ones Digit of Base ID

Red Flash

Small Pause

Hundreds digit of keypad Address

Red Flash

Tens digit of keypad Address

Red Flash

Ones digit of keypad Address

Red Flash

6.2 Changing Keypad and Channel Number

Make sure base station is detected properly.

Choose “Change Keypad Channel and

Address” from the drop down menu of the

Device group in Powercom Tab. Follow the

instructions to continue.

7.0 Keypad Battery Replacement

Each keypad is powered from a single CR2032

Lithium Coin Cell battery. One fresh CR2032

battery can last for up to 20,000 votes.

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Remove screw from case back.

2. Separate case parts at screw location

3. Using a non-metallic object, carefully push

the battery out of the retainer from the

back side

4. Slide in new battery with positive side away

from circuit board
