  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The PRL-1200 Pulse Radio Link is a Transmitter and Receiver system that wirelessly sends up to four channels of KYZ pulses between the transmitter and a receiver. The short-hop PRL-1200 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-1200 SYSTEM DESIGN AND PLANNING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - The PRL-1200 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-1200 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 being mounted in an off-set fashion.

  • Page 12 CHANNEL# SW#1 SW#2 SW#3 Setting the OUTPUT Mode - The PRL-1200 can operate in the Form C or Form A modes. The Form C mode, called 3-Wire mode, each input channel uses the K, Y and Z outputs, and two independent 3- Wire meter pulse channels are received and outputted.

    Transient voltage protection for the contacts of the solid state relays are provided by MOVs on board between the K and Y, as well as the K and Z outputs. Depending on user requirements the PRL-1200 can be operated in Form C mode and only two wires used on the output for the downstream device. This is perfectly acceptable, but remember to double the Form C pulse constant if your receiving device does not automatically adjust the pulse value.

    4 times per second. The fast flash means that the system has paired itself together. 5. Return Dip Switch #8 on both the transmitter and receiver units to the "DOWN" position to put the PRL-1200 system in the RUN mode.

    NOTE: the PRL-1200 system does not change or modify the pulse values in any way. The pulse value is completely determined by the Ke value of the meter and the metering installation multiplier, which is based on Current Transformer (CT) and Potential Transformer (PT) ratios.

    9. The Transmitter base unit is designed for mounting inside another control cabinet or enclosure appropriate and suitable for the particular application. 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-12 or PRR-12 mounts onto.
