Sine Systems RFC-1/B Instruction Book

Section 2 — "About This Manual . .
Unfortunately, it seems that the instruction book is sometimes the least well-prepared part of
an industrial electronic product. Too often, products are sold with no instruction book and
sometimes without even a schematic diagram. In the other extreme, some products are sold
with a voluminous instruction book but which contains mostly useless information such as
manufacturing drawings or impossible-to-decipher wire lists. The extra information itself is
of no harm, but its inclusion often results in the fact that it takes a great deal of time to locate
a simple piece of often needed data: the "pin out" of a particular connector for example.
It is the philosophy of Sine Systems to include in our instruction books all information that
might be useful to the end user, and nothing else. Any obscure data which is not in the
instruction book can easily be obtained by a telephone call to Sine Systems. Our telephone
number is shown on the front cover of this manual. Every effort has been made to insure
that our documentation is complete, well organized and fully indexed. Each Sine Systems
Instruction Book is identified as to the manufacturing version of the units for which it is valid
documentation. This eliminates the possibility for confusion if more than one version of a
product is in service at a time.
Many manufacturers print their instruction books in fairly high volume to reduce costs and
then insert "addendum" or "change" pages in the front or back of the book when changes are
required. While this technique is attractive from the standpoint of the manufacturer, it
significantly compromises the value of an instruction book to the end user because it disrupts
the orderly arrangement of data, and in some cases, results in confusing or contradictory
information. Sine Systems' Instruction Books are printed in small quantities shortly before
the unit is shipped. This insures that the information contained in each instruction book is
completely up-to-date and arranged in a logical order.
The instructions for the RFC-1 Remote Control System are divided into two books. The first,
the "hardware" book, deals with the physical details of the system and the second, the
"software" book, deals with all the operating characteristics of the system which are
determined by the resident firmware. To allow easy access to all information, tables of
contents and indexes are included in each book.
We want to be as proud of our Instruction Books as we are of the products they document.
To this end, we encourage feedback from our customers on how we can make our instruction
books, as well as our products, even better.
