5. Transmitters
5.1 Transmitter Description
This section describes the safety/operational features, troubleshooting and repair of the 23T10A, 23T09A,
23T14A and 23T23 transmitters. Many of the features are common in all transmitters; therefore, descriptions are
combined for the purposes of this document.
Cattron handheld transmitters are housed in a rugged case molded from a modified polymer plastic that stands up
to extremely rugged use. A key feature is the patented switch assembly for control inputs. This long-life
elastomeric keypad is ergonomically designed to provide easy operation over long periods of time with
exceptional reliability. A leather holster is available for easily carrying the transmitters; also, it offers added
protection.
All transmitter functions are controlled by a microprocessor with a special memory or configuration information.
This offers a great degree of capability and versatility, while at the same time providing operation and
maintenance simplicity.
The antenna is internal to the handheld transmitter cases, thus protecting it from damage. A self-test LED
indicator provides a quick transmitter and battery status check.
The transmitters are designed to be very efficient. Two AA batteries provide power for the transmitter (three
batteries for the 23T23). An additional feature automatically shuts the transmitter off after a programmable time
interval of inactivity to further extend the battery life.
These transmitters are programmable by means of a portable handheld programmer (RAC16A).
