/TLM Option (Designed for the alarm signalling in absence of power supply) The TEX1000-LCD/TLM allows to sent alarm messages, via SMS, to the user’s cell-phone or to a group of users. It is able to signal the Mains Alarm (in absence of power supply), also after long times of black-out.
10x38 [34]) Check that the TEX1000-LCD switch is in the "off" position. POWER button is on the front panel (see figure 6.1) and inhibits “Surge Protection” machine’s card. Connect the RF output of the exciter to the antenna cable or to a dummy load able to dissipate the power generated by the TEX1000-LCD.
Activate the RF power output from the "Fnc" menu. 5.3 Settings and calibration The only adjustments to be manually made on the TEX1000-LCD are those relating to the audio operation levels and modes. A trimmer for each one of the exciter's inputs is on the rear panel of the device.
TEX1000-LCD When adjusting the sensitivity level of the inputs, keep in mind that the instantaneous modulation level is given in the predefined menu and that an indicator signals the 75 kHz level. To get a proper adjustment, we recommend you put a level signal on the...
