Enable Sleep Mode through RTU control by asserting a ground (or
RS-232 low) on Pin 12 of the radio’s
DATA INTERFACE connector.
When Pin 12 is opened (or an RS-232 high is asserted), the radio is ready
to receive data within 75 milliseconds.
All normal functions are suspended while the radio is in Sleep Mode.
The
PWR LED is off, except for a quick flash every five seconds.
System Example
The following example describes Sleep Mode implementation in a typ-
ical system. Use this information to configure a system that meets your
own particular needs.
Sleep Mode Example:
Suppose you need communication to each remote site only once
per hour. Program the RTU to raise an RS-232 line once each
hour (DTR for example), and wait for a poll and response before
lowering it again. Connect this line to Pin 12 of the radio’s
DATA
INTERFACE connector. This allows each RTU to be polled once
per hour with a significant savings in power consumption.

3.0 OPERATION
In-service operation of the transceiver is completely automatic. Once
the unit is properly installed and configured, operator actions are limited
to observing the front panel LED status indicators for proper operation.
If all parameters are correctly set, start radio operation by following
these steps:
1. Apply DC power to the transceiver.
2. Observe the LED status panel for the proper indications (Table 7).
3. If not done earlier, refine the antenna heading of the station to maxi-
mize the received signal strength (RSSI) from the master station.
Use the
RSSI command from an HHT connected to the radio’s DIAG.
connector. See Section 4.0, TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING on
Page 14. This can also be done with a DC voltmeter as described in
Section 3.2, RSSI Measurement (Page 13).
