TRANSCEIVER OPERATION (Continued)
• Avoid clicking on “Restore Module Defaults” as Multiple Default-Resets could
result in a software lockout, requiring a factory reset of the Transceiver unit(s). If
you are experiencing software difficulty, try refreshing by clicking on a separate file
tab such as “Set-up” and re-click “Configuration” then try the command again.
NOTE: All transceivers communicating with one another in a system must be configured identically.
If the parameters are changed and the MiniLink transceiver is disconnected from the PC, the com port
parameters of the PC will need to be changed to match the transceiver to re-establish communication.
5. ORDER OF SETUP AND OPERATION
1. Connect Power. A red light, or an LED, will be viewable near the RS-485 Connector
inside of the case once power is applied.
2. Connect Data input. (See page 4)
3. Set the Mode Select switch to the data protocol used by the device being controlled.
4. Make sure the antenna is attached to the SMA connector.
a. Data 900 Transceivers use a 7” omni-directional dipole antenna that flexes at
its base.
b. A Data 900 20-Mile System will use one 7” omni-directional dipole antenna
on one transceiver and the other transceiver will use a 30” Yagi directional
antenna with a 10’ cable that connects to the SMA connector.
c. Data 2400 Transceivers use a 4” omni-directional dipole antenna that does
not flex at the base.
d. A Data 2400 10-Mile System will use one 3” omni-directional dipole antenna
on one transceiver and the other transceiver will use a 12” x 12” Patch
directional antenna with a 10’ cable that connects to the SMA connector.
6. MAINTENANCE
Your MicroTek Electronics MiniLink Data Transceiver is an example of superior design
and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help to ensure maximum operational
life.
• Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids may
contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
• Use the system only within the environmental specifications indicated. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and melt plastic parts.
• Excessive mechanical shock can damage the case, connectors, cable or internal
circuit board.
Moving or tampering with the system’s internal components can cause a malfunction and
will void the systems warranty as well as the FCC authorization to operate it. If you
cannot control your system wirelessly or if you are having any other problem, contact
your dealer and/or MicroTek for service.
