1. General Description
The telemetry option, whether internal or external, supports connectivity to the
whole range of units of RVR’s TEX-LCD and TEX-LIGHT family of products.
This section describes the features introduced with /TLC version (option with
external telemetry without modem) and the necessary steps for their proper
conguration.
The telemetry option supports:
Remote alarm reporting by sending SMS messages through a GSM modem
or through a PSTN modem (dial-up) by sending an alarm message string to a
connected PC.
Telemetry, with all equipment parameters sent to the “TELECON” software
through an RS232 connection.
Remote controlling through an RS232 connection to the “TELECON” software
or through certain predetermined SMS messages if an external GSM modem
is connected.
Telemetry on internet across 10Base-T LAN/Ethernet network through TCP-IP
-INT/TEX external interface connection.
1.1 Remote alarm monitoring
Alarm generation parameters are listed below:
Exciter output power (forward power good “PgD”);
Reected power at the exciter (reected power good “PgR”);
Temperature state (OVER TEMPERATURE);
Audio Signal Level;
Mains voltage state (present or missing).
Factory default settings are as follows:
ALARM TIME THRESHOLD
Forward Power (Fwd Pwr) 25 Sec. Power Good (PgD)
Reflected Power (Rfl Pwr) 25 Sec. Power Good (PgR)
Audio 325 Sec. 20 kHz
Over Temperature 25 Sec. 72°C
Mains Power (Mains) 25 Sec.
Table 1.1
An inhibit time (start time) after power-on is provided to ensure false alarm
prevention. When this inhibit time times out, the thresholds of alarm generation
parameters are checked and remote alarms are sent if needed.
Alarm generation technique is outlined in the gure below; remote alarm delay, i.e.
the amount of time the system waits before issuing a remote alarm after an alarm
condition occurs is indicated in table 1.1. When appropriate, a new line is added
to the alarm log stored in /TLC, up to six lines maximum.

Figure 1.1
The alarm log may be reviewed using the “TELECON” software or through SMS
(see relevant section).
WARNING: The mains alarm is triggered from the battery charger board; as a result,
this board is required even when no batteries are installed. In the conguration
without batteries, no alarm is generated; instead, an SMS message indicating a
normal condition is sent upon next start-up.
When any one of the parameters listed above changes state, a text message with
the following information is sent via modem (if tted):
Station Name.
Station ID.
State of measurements.

1.2 Telemetry
Equipment telemetry consists in the remote monitoring of all operating parameters
and can only be achieved through serial cable or modem connection to the
“TELECON” software.
1.3 Remote control
When the exciter is connected to the internal telemetry unit, it can be controlled
from a PC.
Fig.1.2: Example of Modem-to-PC connection
The “TELECON” software establishes connection with the station and enables the
following remote operations: alarm reset, transmitter power on/power off, power
supply reduction, dummy load testing, etc., data evaluation to locate possible
faults, identication of parts required for repair.
An alternative remote controlling option uses SMS messaging through a common
GSM phone (if connected with an external GSM modem), in which case the
equipment will respond as indicated in table 1.2.
Before querying the system using SMS messages, establish a connection using
the “TELECON” software and set the provider service centre number and the
telephone numbers authorised to send these commands to the devices.

2. RemoteAlarmReportingConguration
Firstly, you will have to set certain parameters in the (internal or external) telemetry
option using the “TELECON” software. Connect the PC serial port COM to the
RS232 connector on the rear panel of the /TLC option using a standard Male DB9
- Female DB9 serial cable.
Fig.2.3: Example of connection between TEX-LCD unit with /TLC option and PC
When using the “TELECON” software for the rst time, select the station and then
enter:
COM port used,
Baud rate (set to 9600),
type of connection (set to direct, via cable).
When you have entered the correct data, click the “Start” button to conrm and
the “TELECON” main screen appears, as shown in the gure:

Use this screen to change Start time. To edit this parameter, click the “TStart” box
with the left mouse button (default setting is 300sec., the equivalent of 5 min.); this
opens a window where you can change the setting. Press Enter to conrm.
Double click the green label in the top left corner of the TELECON screen and
select “Eeprom” (as shown in the gure below).
In the open menu, press this key to view station parameters.
Select the “General” data category and set the 5 parameters:
STATION ID: Station identier;
STATION NAME: (max 18 characters);
