MINDA PERSONAL PROTECTION SYSTEM TX-600 INTELLIGENT BELT TRANSMITTER Operating Instruction Rev 1.1 June 2000 Tactical Technologies Inc. 1701 Second Ave Folsom, PA 19033 610-522-0106 www.tacticaltechnologies.
OVERVIEW Thank you for purchasing a MINDA Intelligent Transmitter, which uses a low-power microprocessor for ‘house-keeping’ and offers the following programmable options: • A Unit Identity Code (TX ID number 1,2,3,or 4) which will allow a single receiver to identify up to four different transmitters. • A very secure Family Identity Code, enabling secure use of multiple groups of transmitters and receivers together in the same location - without receiving alarms in ALL receivers.
alarm to a MINDA receiver. Press and hold either button for at least 1 second to transmit your alarm. The TX-600 may be programmed to automatically transmit a GREEN or RED 'confidence alarm'. This signal may be programmed to transmit every few seconds or every few minutes. The timing of this transmission begins upon sliding the On/Off switch to the ON position. See the section on CONFIDENCE MODE for more details.
FAMILY IDENTITY CODE Each MINDA system, when supplied to a customer, will have already been programmed at time of manufacture with a common default ‘Family Identity Code’ (hexadecimal 94) enabling it to be used with any other of the standard MINDA products. The Family Identity Code for a particular family of MINDA units can easily be re-programmed by returning all of the equipment to Tactical Technologies Inc. or, if a MINDA computer interface package has been purchased, by the user.
A MINDA TX-600 intelligent transmitter can be programmed so that for any or all of the four identities it can assume a GREEN or RED transmission as an “I’m here and OK” signal. In order for confidence to be transmitted, the transmitter must be in the MODE of the programmed signal. The transmitter defaults to GREEN mode upon reset, or when it is turned on. If Confidence mode is programmed for GREEN MODE Transmitter 'starts up' in GREEN MODE, therefore confidence is automatically enabled upon start up.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If signals from a TX-600 transmitter are not being received by a MINDA receiver the following tests should be undertaken: 1.) Check that the transmitter is not out of receiver range by temporarily reducing the distance between the units to 10 yards or less. Begin to increase the distance again until signals transmitted are not received reliably. This will give a good indication of the likely maximum working range that can be achieved in the particular location used for these tests. 2.
