Fan Timer; Port Inactivity Timer; Dtmf Mute Timer; Ctcss Encode Dropout Timer - Arcom RC-210 Operation And Programming Manual

Fan Timer

The RC-210 provides a convenient method of controlling a cooling fan, while eliminating unnecessary wear and tear. When any Port is
keyed, the fan is started and will remain on for a period determined by the Fan Timer. It will then automatically shut off.
*1004x where "x" is the amount of time you want the fan to remain on after any transmitter unkeys in seconds. The range is 1 to 32767
seconds. The controller responds with "FAN TIMER SET".

Port Inactivity Timer

When ports are connected to other ports, this timer is started. If there is no receiver activity on this port for the period determined by this
timer, it will automatically be disconnected (unlinked) from whichever port to which it was connected.
*1005x where "x" is the amount of time a connected port should remain connected to this port if there no is activity for x seconds. The
range is 1 to 32767 seconds. The controller responds with "PORT x TIMER SET" (where x is the port number).
Note: Programming the
timer to zero disables it.

DTMF Mute Timer

If DTMF muting is enabled on a port, audio from its receiver is muted upon receipt of DTMF. Furthermore, if the DTMF Covertone is
enabled on this port, it will be used during the mute period as well. When the COS closes, the receiver is again unmuted and (if
enabled) the Covertone is stopped. But what happens if a signal remains on the receiver? Obviously, the receiver wouldn't unmute until
after that signal went away.
To prevent this from becoming a problem. the DTMF Mute Timer will unmute the receiver and stop the Covertone after a DTMF digit is
first received and after certain amount of time. As long as DTMF digits are received, this timer is reset and the muting and Covertone
will continue until the user unkeys.
*1006x where "x" is the amount of time in 100 milliseconds steps that the DTMF mute timer should generate DTMF cover tone and the
receiver should remain muted between DTMF digits. The range is 0 to 9999 milliseconds (ms). For example, 1 = 100 ms, 7 = 700 ms,
50 = 5 seconds Regardless of this setting, the receiver will unmute and covertone will be stopped immediately upon COS closure or the
receipt of DTMF "#".

CTCSS Encode Dropout Timer

If you have connected the CTCSS encode control line to an external encoder, you can program this parameter to select how long
encoded CTCSS will continue to be transmitted after the receiver COS drops.
*1007x where "x" is the amount of time in seconds CTCSS should continue to be sent after COS closure. The range is 0 to 255
seconds.
Note: programming a 0 disables the timer and the CTCSS encode line will "turn off" immediately upon COS closure.
Note: See the command *1021 for selecting the CTCSS Encode polarity

Alarm Timers

When an alarm is triggered, a timeout timer starts to run. When this timer times out, that alarm will reset back to the off position. X
equals the amount of time the timer should take to time out. The default value is 2 seconds and the range is 1 to 255 seconds.
*1008x Set Alarm 1 Timeout
*1009x Set Alarm 2 Timeout
*1010x Set Alarm 3 Timeout
*1011x Set Alarm 4 Timeout
*1012x Set Alarm 5 Timeout
