Vemco VR60 - Coded Transmitter Operations (Option 07); Setup and Identification

27
CODED TRANSMITTER (OPTION 07)
A VR60 receiver with coded transmitter capability (Option 07) should be setup using the VR60PC
software (see VR60PC Software manual). Without the VR60PC software, the receiver is limited to
the factory setup. The CHANNEL knob on the front of the VR60 must be in the external (EXT)
position for coded transmitters to be detected.
To enter Coded mode on a VR60 receiver, press the ‘+’ key followed by the '8' key on the keypad at
the ENTER COMMAND prompt. If the desired frequency is not shown in the list of frequencies, it
must be added to the VR60 receiver setup using the VR60PC software program.
NOTE: If there is only one frequency setup in the VR60 receiver, the receiver will not request a
frequency selection. The frequency will be displayed.
When the frequency has been selected, the LCD display will briefly display the frequency, as shown
below.
CODED FREQUENCY
IS 69.0 kHz
When a transmitter is received by the VR60, the top line in the display will indicate the arrival of
the sync pulse (designated by a capital S) and each successive pulse (designated by a black rectangle
$$ ). If a tag has been previously detected, the bottom line will display the ID code last detected (see
below).
S $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$
ID: 128
When the last pulse has been received, the information for that transmitter will be displayed. This
information includes the channel, the transmitter type, the ID number, and if applicable the
telemetry data and unit. The sample below shows the display for a coded 256 telemetry tag.
CH:C 256 SENSOR
ID: 128 56.8m
If no signal is received after eight seconds of monitoring, the top line of the display will read “NO
SIGNAL”. If a detection is made but part of the pulse train is missed, the display will read
“INVALID CODE” or “WAITING FOR SYNC”.
NOTE: If the top line of the display does not contain the channel ID and the transmitter type, as
shown above, the information displayed on the bottom line (coded ID number and telemetry data if
applicable) is not current. The code ID and telemetry data remain on the bottom line until the next
complete pulse train is received.
