KG INSTRUCTION MANUAL IBRit - rf1 - opto Miniature radio module for wireless data transfer 2 Introduction The miniature radio module IBRit- rf1 - opto allows the transmission of measured values from gauges with Opto-RS232 ( Duplex ) to a PC. The transmission of measured values is triggered by pressing the data key on the gauge and is optically and acoustically confirmed by the IBRit- rf1 - opto radio module. The miniature radio modules are individually and wirelessly programmable by a PC programme and store these settings. By programmable module addresses up to 120 radio modules can work parallel with a PC work station. For optimal usage of the radio module we advice to read the manual intently. Contents 1.

Delivered Items  Miniature radio module IBRit - rf1 - opto  2 Antennas ( short and long version )  2 Batteries ( in the radio module )  Light protection cover  Instruction manual 3. Cleaning and Maintenance ♦ Please clean the case and the circuit board with a soft duster and neutral cleaner. Do not use any chemical products ( like i.e. dilute, petrol, acetone, … ). ♦ Except of exchanging the batteries only the manufacturer is allowed to demount the instrument. On not observing the guarantee is lost. 4. Storage On storing the miniature radio module outside the gauge the circuit board side must be put into the black light protection cover. Otherwise light emission discharges the batteries in the module. Please store the miniature radio module only on dry and clean places. 4 5.

5 7. Plugging a miniature radio module IBRit - rf1 - opto into a gauge ♦ Please remove the black light protection cover before plugging the radio module into the gauge. ♦ Please mind the distort protection ! The IBRit - rf1 - opto must be rested completed ! ♦ The miniature radio module works only with gauges with a Duplex Opto RS232 - interface 8. Changing an antenna on the IBRit - rf1 - opto Note : Part of the delivered items of the IBRit - rf1 - opto are a short and a long antenna. The short antenna is suitable for most applications. To reconcile bigger distances or on disturbance fields the long antenna is required. Only the long antenna provides the full transmitting and receiving power. 6 9. Mode selection on hand gauges and measurement data transfer ♦ On Sylvac gauges for the data transmission the measuring mode ABS or REF must be selected. For mode selection please see the gauge manual or gauge backside. ♦ The data transmission occurs by pressing the Data or Set - key on the gauge. Note : A green flashing light or a short beep tone confirms a successful data transmission. When the PC radio station is not connected or when the Software is not started, the radio module returns the error message with a red flashing light and two long beep-tones. More information about error messages you find in the table on page 8.
7 10. Battery exchange on the IBRit - rf1 - opto Open Close Battery type : SR 920 W, SR 69, 371 LD Released manufacturers : Maxwell, Duracell, Energizer, Renata Note : a) Please remove according to the picture the both batteries and dispose the empty batteries according to the regulations. b) Before inserting the new batteries the capacitors in the miniature radio modules must be completely discharged. For discharging the capacitors please lay the miniature radio module at minimum 5 minutes under a light lamp. The open battery compartment must show in direction of the lamp. c) Please insert the new batteries. Mind that both batteries show with the plus pole to the opening and that the battery contact is not bended. d) After the 2nd Battery is inserted the miniature radio module announces itself with a short tone series. If not please remove the batteries a second time and discharge the radio module long enough before you insert the batteries again. 8 11. Meaning of the different flash - codes LED Buzzer Meaning 1 x green 1 x short Data transfer successful 1 x red 2 x long Error on the radio transfer 2 x red 2 x long Timeout error by reading the measurement value from the gauge 3 x red 2 x long Spike on the data wire of the Opto RS232 4 x red 2 x long No Stop bit from the Opto RS232 interface 5 x red 2 x long Parity – error on the Opto RS232 interface 6 x red 2 x long Overflow of the input buffer on the Opto RS232 interface 7 x red 2 x long Undefined data format from the Opto RS232 interface 8 x red 2 x long Writing error on EEPROM access 9 x red 2 x long Reading error on EEPROM access Note : A measurement value cannot be transmitted until the error message has ended ( about 2 sec. ) !!! 12. Battery - Dischargement by light emission If the miniature radio module is not plugged into the gauge then the receiver diode of the Opto RS232 – interface can discharge the battery. !!! A short beep tone in 1 sec interval informs the user about this situation. Please protect the radio module by the black light protection cover.

Set command into waiting queue : Click onto OK - Button 4. Press the Data - Key on that gauge or gauge module which should be programmed 5. Two short beep tones confirm the successful programming Command list Info line Receiving- display 10 13. Programming of the IBRit - rf1 - opto radio modules The programming of the miniature radio modules occurs with the programme IBR_SimKey. The Software is included in the delivery of the PC radio station IBRit - rf1 - usb. All settings are stored in the miniature radio modules and are also stored on changing the batteries. For programming the miniature radio modules please go in the programme IBR_SimKey into the programming window. Please select after that the command and the parameter. By clicking onto the OK - Button the command is set into a waiting queue. Please press now the data key of that radio module or gauge, which should be programmed for trans-mitting a measuring value. On the end of the measuring value transmission the PC radio station sends the command out of the waiting queue to the module. Two short beep tones confirm the correct programming.
