The customer or the user of the monitor should assure that it is used in such an environment.
  • Page 17 To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF trans mitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the TruSat is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the TruSat should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the TruSat.

    TruSat Technical Reference Manual Alarm event relay The alarm event circuit contains a normally-open relay switch that closes in the event of an alarm condition and remains closed until the alarm condition ends. When S1 is switched to “enable,” a multiple-component circuit responds to an incoming signal, energizes the relay coil, and closes the contact between pin 1 and pin 3 of the RS-232 DIN 6 connector (X2).
