THEORY OF OPERATION
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
SETTING THE MODULE ADDRESS
The FCTN-RLY4-*** module combines
the popular Linx LR Series receiver
with a decoder IC and four relays that
are capable of switching a variety of AC
or DC loads. The Relay Function
Module is designed to receive a
wireless signal transmitted from a
compatible Linx RF module or pre-
certified
transmitted data is received, the data is
presented to the decoder. The decoder
detects the logic states of the DIP
switch address lines, and if they match
the address settings of the encoder, the
decoder’s outputs are set to replicate
the state of the encoder’s data lines.
The relay outputs are then latched on
or off. If momentary operation is
desired, jumper pads J2 through J5 can
be bridged. Figure 3 displays the
location of the pads. Each jumper
corresponds to a relay as shown.
The module should be powered from a DC source that is free of noise and high
ripple. The best results are normally obtained using a battery or high quality AC
wall adapter capable of providing the supply currents indicated in the Electrical
Specifications section. Two supply connection options are provided: black
(ground) and red (+) quick-connect terminals or a barrel jack (for a 5.5mm plug,
tip 7 to 16VDC, shell ground). Only one connection should be used at a time and
polarity should be observed.
The Relay Function Module provides
a total of 256 unique addreses to
avoid contention with other units or
to
Address selection is made via eight
externally accessible DIP switches
as shown in the adjacent figure.
If the switch is on, the address line is
connected to ground, otherwise it is
floating. The transmitter’s address
must match exactly in order for the
units to communicate. Application
Note AN-00300 describes in detail how to set the address to match any of the
transmitters offered by Linx. This application note can be found in the Support
section of the Linx website, www.linxtechnologies.com.
