5.3 Machine Number
Machine numbers 1 to 40 can be assigned to machines (1 to 40 for each machine type). These numbers
are programmed using the HDM Remote Display Module (level 9, position 2).
5.4 Receiver Sensitivity
The HPB allows the sensitivity of the HTU receiver to be adjusted to suit different installations. For
installations where multiple HPB’s are located close to each other the sensitivity can be reduces to
prevent crosstalk between the pilot signals. In installations with long trailing cables the sensitivity can be
increased.
The sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 – 32, with larger values corresponding to decreased sensitivity.
For most installations starting with the sensitivity set to 8 should yield good results. If the HTU is
connected through a long trailing cable and the HTU is not coming online, try increasing the sensitivity.
Alternatively, if there are multiple relays installed near each other, and they do not behave as expected
try decreasing the sensitivity to prevent crosstalk.
