with an WX16 Controller as server along with additional Relay Modules,
WX16 and WX4 Clients). RF HANDSHAKING = ON always transmits the
packet 4 times and does not require any "acknowledge" returned by the
receivers.

*TX Power (900MHZ models only) may be set for 10 mW, 200mW, 400mW
and 1 watt. Since some OLCT 200's are battery powered the TX Power
setting should be as low as possible to sustain reliable communication. The
maximum TX Power setting is 30db (1 watt) and each time TX power is
reduced by half, antenna transmit power is reduced by 3dB.
2.4GHZ variation: The TX Power menu is not available in 2.4GHZ models
and is fixed at 50mW.

TX Verbose is unavailable for firmware revisions 3.09 and earlier.

Wakeup Time menu is new to firmware revision 3.09 and determines how
often the radio is activated WHEN THERE IS NOT AN A1 or A2 LEVEL
ALARM. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes) but this may be
reduced to as low as 6 seconds. Intervals are rounded up to the nearest 6
seconds regardless of the menu entry (example: 50 second entry transmits
every 54 seconds).
IMPORTANT: More frequent RF transmissions deplete the battery faster!

Radio Status opens a page indicating if the OLCT 200 is In Range of the
Server. A voltage reading on this page displays the internal 3.3V power
supply value.
TX Multiples, RF Handshaking and TX Power menu settings are available to improve
communications reliability by increasing the quantity and power of wireless
transmissions.
IMPORTANT! Ensure proper selection and location of antennas before increasing TX
Multiples and TX Power settings! Battery life will be reduced by increasing these
settings. Proper selection and location of antennas contributes much more to
successful communications, without sacrificing battery life, than these settings.
6.5.1 OLCT 200 AND WX16 BASE STATIONS
Figure 6-3 shows correct settings for the WX16 base station's "Data From" menu
to receive data from OLCT 200's. Each WX16 channel's Remote ID must match the
OLCT 200's Remote ID setting (see section 6.7) in order for its VALUE to appear on
the desired WX16 channel. The OLCT 200 counts value equals 75 counts, or -15.6%,
during CAL MODE. Enabling the WX16's "INPUT MARKER" menu as shown on the
right menu in Figure 6-3 causes the WX16 to indicate IN CAL when the OLCT 200 has
its CAL MODE activated.
