5 seconds to turn on. 4.2. FUNCTION TEST An EM receiver, such as an IT Trax EMRxEx Receiver is required to receive the signal from the transmitter. Refer to the relevant EM receiver manual for instruction on setup and operation of the EM receiver. - Page 8 The advantage of these arrangements is that they have limited amounts of metal around the transmitter and will therefore have limited effect on the transmitter performance. Please contact IK Trax for further information and guidelines regarding EM transmitter mounting and installation.

7. ENDCAP OPTIONS 7.1. PRESSURE SWITCH ENDCAP The EMTx20 PRESSURE SWITCH ENDCAP is an ATEX/IECEx certified endcap that can be fitted in place of the standard PCB ENDCAP to allow the unit to be activated once the external pressure exceeds a pre-configured ON PRESSURE. There are six different pressure switch endcaps available that cover both latching and non- latching versions and three different pressure bands: 1-4 bar, 3-10 bar, and 6-18 bar. -
Page 13: Turning Off
DUAL RATE ENDCAP - Can be fitted to an EMTx20 transmitter in place of the PCB ENDCAP to allow an external piece of equipment (e.g. an IK Trax 7000 ARGF) to switch between two pre- configured pulse rates. With a DUAL RATE ENDCAP fitted, the unit will transmit at pulse rate 1 when pins 1 and 2 on the IE55 Connector are open (resistance >... -
