Model R86 Transmitter Configuration

Although the PULSAR Model R86 transmitter can be
delivered pre-configured from the factory, it can also be

the local LCD/Keypad. Bench configuration provides a
convenient and efficient way to set up the transmitter
before going to the tank site to complete the installation.
NOTE: The transmitter can be configured without the antenna con-
nected. Disregard any diagnostic indicators that may appear.
