Instruction Manual. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this system. TX-101 Transmitters are 6V powered by 4 AA batteries. AA batteries are small but powerful and must be treated with respect. Never short the ends of the battery together.

Disconnect this apparatus from its power source during lightning storms or when unused for extended periods of time. Use only the attachment parts/accessories supplied by BRB Systems USA Co. Do not allow liquid entry into the system components.
(2) Installation (2.1) Counter Unit Installation of the Counter should be to the side or rear of the shooting position, in such a place as not to obstruct or distract the shooter. The Counter unit should be mounted either to a post, wall or tree and must be mounted vertically without obstruction between the antenna and the trap house.
Page 5
(2.2) RX-101 Receiver Using the cabling as supplied, each RX-101 Receiver should be mounted vertically and within 10ft of the power and release connections of the trap. To lengthen the power/release cabling use a connector that is rated for outdoor use and meets current electrical standards.

Power From 120Vac Wall Outlet 10ft 120V ac power cord = Receiver power. Plug into GFCI protected 120V outlet. 10ft 2 core cable = trap release connections Trap A. Orientation of wires is not important. 2 pin socket and plug = trap release connections Trap B. Orientation of wires is not important.
(3) Set Up (3.1) Counter Unit Set Up The Counter identity and operation are set via the three 8 position dipswitches. To access the dip switches carefully remove the cover so as not to pull the internal wiring that links between the cover and the enclosure body. Counter Dipswitch Settings Switch numbers are printed on the body of the dipswitch.
3.2) RX-101 Receiver Set Up The receiver identity and operation are set via the three 8 position dipswitches. Receiver Dipswitch Settings Switch numbers are printed on the body of the dipswitch. CODE The (7) CHN switches must match between TX, RX and Counter- Used to set RF frequency CODE CODE CODE...

The 7 CHN dipswitches (switches 2-8 of dipswitch SW3) are the primary method of Receiver identification. They set the frequency of the receiver and give 128 possible frequency variations. Using these settings for identification eliminates cross calls between adjacent fields because each field can have a different working frequency. CODE Signal Encoding Dipswitches The CODE dipswitch settings on both the Receiver and Transmitter must match for the system to operate.
(3.3) Transmitter Set Up (3.31) User Modes The TX-101 Transmitter and RX-101 Receiver combine to make a multi-purpose trap controller, capable of basic single trap release through more complex sequences of up to 4 traps. Select your required discipline from the list below: ...

CHN Channel Dipswitches The CHN dipswitch settings on both the Receiver and Transmitter must match for the system to operate. These will be preset when the unit is shipped and so under most circumstances should not need you to change them. The 7 CHN dipswitches (switches 2-8 of the top dipswitch) are the primary method of Transmitter identification.
(4) Operation Counter Operation Dongles To release a target using the BRB Wired Counter a Dongle must be inserted into the counter socket. If the Dongle is set to Count Up Mode, then the shooter may release 10,000 individual targets before the count will need to be reset. If the Dongle is set to Count Down Mode then then the club will program the required number of individual targets into the Dongle using the clubhouse Console.
Page 17
Once the shooter has chosen the mode of operation, the Counter has read the Dongle count and established that count/credit remains, then a target can be released. A target can be released in any way that the TX-101 Transmitter has been set up. Payment When the shooter has finished, the Dongle is removed from the Counter.
TX-101 Transmitter Operation The TX-101 has no power on switch. When you want to use it simply press the appropriate button or sequence of buttons. The unit awakens immediately and releases the target(s).
Page 19
Voice Release Operation When either the supplied lapel microphone, or the optional full size microphone are plugged in to the TX-101 Transmitter, the unit automatically recognizes that it is in voice release mode. A target now cannot be released manually.

(5) Counter Codes 0= Reverse connections. In and Out are backwards. Tally Trap Counter only. 2 = Insert Dongle. Ground ID change required. 3= Bad ground ID. Dongle is from another ground. 4= Need 4 characters. If less than 4 characters are input into ground ID. 5= Bad Dongle.
(6) Maintenance The rugged manufacture of the BRB TX-101 and RX-101 should ensure many years of trouble free use if it is not abused and given simple maintenance. Do not allow any component to be immersed in water. Regularly inspect the power/trap control cords for damage. If any wear or damage is found, replace immediately.
