  • Page 3: Introduction

    The PRL-1600 Pulse Radio Link is a Transmitter and Receiver system that wirelessly sends up to four channels of KYZ pulses from the transmitter to a paired receiver. The short-hop PRL-1600 has a range of up to 5,000 feet depending on site topography and solves the problem of getting pulses across parking lots, vacant lots, roads, railroad tracks or other obstacles.
  • Page 4: Pulse Link System Design And Planning

    PRL-1600 SYSTEM DESIGN AND PLANNING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - The PRL-1600 can be used in one of two configurations: 4 Form A pulse channels or 2 Form C pulse channels. The entire system operates in either one mode or the other. They cannot be mixed.

    Radio/Antenna unit is mounted at least 6.1" away from the metal siding. Use the brackets supplied with the PRL-1600 to get this distance. You may have to rotate the board to insure that the antenna is not closer to the metal surface than 6.1", since the antenna is not exactly in the center of the board as well as the board...

    Transmitter. See below. Switch #7 - Setting the Transmitter Input Mode - The PRL-1600 can operate in the Form C or Form A modes. In the Form C (3-Wire) mode, each input channel uses the K, Y and Z inputs. Two TABLE 1 independent 3-Wire meter pulse channels can be transmitted.

    CHANNEL# SW#1 SW#2 SW#3 RSSI. Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver - The PRL-1600 System requires that each Transmitter and Receiver are paired together. Each Transmitter must learn the address of the Receiver it is designated to talk to. This makes it possible for the Transmitter to only talk to the designated Receiver and ignore other devices sending and receiving information on a particular frequency.

    PRR-16 PULSE RECEIVER BASE UNIT (CON'T) USING THE OUTPUT IN 3-WIRE MODE - When the PRL-1600 is operated in the Form C (3-Wire) mode, each output channel "toggles" back and forth like a single-pole, double throw switch. For one pulse there is continuity between K and Y (a closure) while there is no continuity between K and Z (an open).
  • Page 17: Transmitter And Receiver Pairing Procedure

    This procedure pairs the PRT-1600 Transmitter with a specific PRR-1600 Receiver. The PRL-1600 system WILL NOT work unless this procedure is completed. The PRL-1600 system is factory paired and tested as a system, so the pairing procedure is not normally necessary to do at installation. In the event that Dip Switch #8 is put in the UP position either accidentally or intentionally, the unit may be unpaired.

    Troubleshooting and Tech Support 1.) Use shielded 4 twisted pair control cable between the PRT-16 Base Unit and the PRNT-1600 Transmitter/Antenna unit, as well as between the PRR-16 Base Unit and the PRNR-1600 Receiver/Antenna unit. Solid State Instruments’ part number 0715-1050 is an 8-conductor (4 twisted pairs) #24AWG shielded control cable sold by the foot.

If a NEMA 4X enclosure is required, order SSI P/N: 05000-47001A for the NEMA 4X Fiberglass 12” x 10” x 4” enclosure option. This option includes an interior mounting plate that the PRT-16 or PRR-16 mounts onto.
