BN9207. Description of Operation
When the receiver receives a signal sent from the transmitter, it indicates the number corresponding to theset unit/ID and produces a relay output and an open collector output.
The indicator number corresponding to the call received first is indicated in the highest digit (leftmost), andthe numbers corresponding to the calls received after that are indicated to the right of the highest digit in theorder received. A “Red” call prioritizes an “Orange” call. When an “Orange” call has been received and a“Red” call is made from the same transmitter, the indicator switches from blinking (Orange) to lit (Red).
During indication of the indicator number for the Orange call, when the receiver receives a Red call from adifferent transmitter, the indicator number for the Orange call is decreased by one digit (by two digits in the
2-Digit mode) and the indicator number for the Red call is indicated in the digit position. This indicator
number is cleared by pressing the white button on the transmitter that transmitted the call.
If the receiver indicates a number other than the cleared indicator number, the number is shifted to the leftby one or two digits. Any indicator number stored internally is indicated on the right. Even when no indicator
number is indicated (when being held in the memory), the white button is valid.
■1-Digit mode
In addition to indicating the indicator numbers corresponding to calls from maximum 4 transmitters, thereceiver holds data of 4 transmitters internally, making it possible to receive calls from maximum 8
transmitters.
