7.9 Logging Readings—Local Printer
In this example we will program Action Sequence 3 to print a set of readings on a local printer (connected to a PA-1/2
or an RAK-1) and we will program Date/Time Trigger 2 to activate the action sequence hourly at 10 minutes past the
hour to automatically log the transmitter readings.
1. Enter the advanced programming mode: 80
2. Enter the advanced programming security code: 4150
3. Enter the starting address from the address table for Action Sequence 3: 0756
4. From Section 6, find the command for local printing and get V1 and V2: V1=8, V2=8
5. Enter V1 for the local print command: 8
6. Press the # key to enter this value and increment to the next address in memory
7. Enter V2 for the local print command: 8
8. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
The action sequence is programmed. Jump to a new address to program the date/time trigger.
9. Enter the advanced programming mode command to jump to a new address: 80
10. Enter the starting address from the address table for Date/Time Trigger 2: 0624
11. Enter the number of the action sequence that should be triggered: 3 (programmed above)
12. Press the # key to enter this value and increment to the next address in memory
13. Enter up to two digits for the month in which this trigger should function: 15 (every month)
14. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
15. Enter the first digit for the date in which this trigger should function: 15 (every day)
16. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
17. Enter the second digit for the date in which this trigger should function: 15 (every day)
18. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
19. Enter the first digit for the hour at which this trigger should function: 15 (every hour)
20. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
21. Enter the second digit for the hour at which this trigger should function: 15 (every hour)
22. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
23. Enter the first digit for the minute at which this trigger should function: 1
24. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
25. Enter the second digit for the minute at which this trigger should function: 0
26. Press the # key to write this value and increment to the next address in memory
27. Press the ❊ key to exit the programming mode
Printing to a remote printer is similar except that the action sequence command is 8-9 and a telephone number must
be programmed at Telephone Number F. See Section 6 for details.
Section 6 describes the use of the value 15 in a date/time trigger to perform an event every month and/or every day.
Readings will be printed from channel 00 to the auto-scan stop channel. The auto-scan stop channel is programmed
at addresses 1010-1011. The default setting is channel 07.
The clock and calendar must be set before the time trigger can function. Issue the commands 70 and 71 in the
operating mode, not while in programming mode, and the RFC-1 will prompt for the time and date.
