Description
The ZULU-T Telemetry Module provides a reliable Transceiver based industrial Re-
mote Switch with up to 2,000 metres range. Two modules are combined to provide
a simple network of radio switching.
Each unit is supplied ready to operate, once paired with another Module a remote
control system is created
Connections for Power, antenna and Input / Output are the only connections re-
quired.

- Page 3 ZULU Telemetry General Description of Operation Each module can be set to act as a ‘ Transmitter’ or ‘Receiver’ A remote telemetry system is achieved when two modules are paired together, as transmitter (ZuluTx) and receiver (ZuluRx). Each time an input changes on the ZuluTx, it will transmit the status of its inputs to the paired ZuluRx(s).
- Page 4 ZULU Telemetry The following descriptions apply to the Zulu Module in TRANSMITTER Mode When configured as a Transmitter the ZULU Module will automatically default to low power sleep mode until any input state change takes place. On receipt of an input state change the ZuluTx will transmit a packet showing the status of all inputs (multiple state changes can take place simultaneously).

The receiver outputs are acknowledged back to the transmitter. If required the Watchdog can be enabled to inform the user if the RF system has a fault.

Keep it clear of other metal in the system. The best position by far, is protruding vertically from the top of the product. This is often not desirable for practical reasons and thus a compromise may be needed.
