Transmitter Module Configuration

Unless the transmitter modules are permanently powered their Sleep Delay setting should be set to a non-zero
value so that the module returns to deep sleep when the handheld is turned off or goes out of range. It is
suggested that this time is set to at least 3 times the interval between its data transmissions but can be longer.
i.e. If the default transmission rate is 333ms (3Hz) choose a Sleep Delay of around 5 seconds. This is a good
battery saving time that will ensure the transmitter stays awake even if out of range of the handheld temporarily.
Most transmitter modules allow the LED state to be echoed to the digital output line which allows an external LED
to be fitted. This is useful when requiring visual feedback of the module the handheld is currently viewing.
The handheld displays the data at the rate that the transmitter module is configured to supply. The ideal rate is
about 3hz which is the default but the handheld will operate quite happily with modules with a data delivery rate
of down to around 1 every 30 seconds. Just remember to set the Timeout of the handheld to at least 3 times this
period. (i.e. 91 seconds in the case of 30 second transmission interval).
The handheld will wake any sleeping module if it is on the same channel and has the same
group key.
