MDEV-315-HH-KF-MS MDEV-418-HH-KF-MS MDEV-433-HH-KF-MS WIRELESS MADE SIMPLE MS KEYFOB MASTER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM USERS GUIDE ORDERING INFORMATION PART DESCRIPTION MDEV-***-HH-KF-MS MS Keyfob Master Development System *** = 315, 418 (Standard), 433MHz DESCRIPTION MS Series encoders and decoders are ideal for remote control and command, security, keyless entry, status monitoring, and a host of similar applications. They allow the status of up to eight buttons or contacts to be securely transferred via a wireless link. The Master Development System is intended to give a designer all the tools necessary to incorporate the Keyfob transmitter, LR Series receiver, and MS Series decoder into a product. This guide will show how to take full advantage of the evaluation board included with the kit. Data guides for all of the Linx parts contained in the kit are included or may be downloaded from the Linx website. The Master Development System serves several important functions: Rapid Evaluation - It allows the performance and features of the Keyfob, LR Series, and MS Series to be quickly evaluated. Design - It shows how to design with the decoder and how to interface with other components. It also demonstrates the overall system function, making it easy to develop the initial system design. Prototype Development - It allows for additional circuitry to be placed directly on the board so that it can act as the first prototype of the product. All of the signals are available on a wire-wrap header for easy connection to external circuitry. The kit includes 2 Keyfob transmitters**, 2 LR Series receivers*, 2 MS Series decoders*, 1 development board set up for the receiver and decoder, and 1 CW Series antenna. The decoder board is also populated with 1 QS Series USB module for use with the software on the included CD. *One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on your first prototype board. **Keyfobs have five buttons, with inserts and keypads for 1-4 button configurations also included. Revised 11/11/11MS SERIES DECODER DEVELOPMENT BOARD USING THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM Using the Master Development System is straightforward. After unpacking the board, screw the antenna onto the connector, install the supplied 9V battery, and turn on the power switch. The encoder and decoder will have default settings 5 from the factory and will work straight out of the box. To create a new address, 8 follow these easy steps: 1. Press and hold the CREATE ADDR button on the transmitter to create a new Code Word. This is done by sticking a paper clip through the hole on the back 9 1 of the case and pressing the button inside. The Code Word will be randomized for as long as the button is held down. Once comfortable that the number is sufficiently random, release the button. 2. Once the button is released, the MODE IND LED will begin to flash to indicate 6 10 7 that it is ready to accept Control Permissions. Press all of the data line buttons 11 that are to be recognized, then press the CREATE ADDR button again or let it 2 time out after seventeen seconds. 12 3. Press the LEARN button on the decoder board and the MODE IND LED will 13 start flashing. Press any of the data line buttons on the transmitter and press the 14 LEARN button again. The encoders Code Word has now been learned by the 4 decoder and they will operate together. 3 TROUBLESHOOTING If the boards fail to work out of the box, then try the following: Figure 1: The MS Series Decoder Development Board Check the battery to make sure it is not dead. 1. 9V Battery Make sure the baud rate switches are set to 9,600bps on the decoder board. 2. Power Jack 3. On-Off Switch Make sure that the antenna is connected. 4. Voltage Regulator Check to see if the PDN switch is on, placing the decoder into Power Down 5. QS Series USB Module Mode. In most cases, the encoder PDN switch should be on. 6. Prototype Area Make sure that you set your Control Permissions correctly. If you have not set 7. Break-out Header the encoder to use a particular line, then when you press a button on the 8. RP-SMA Antenna Connector encoder board, the MODE IND LED on the decoder board will light up, but the 9. LR Series Receiver data line LED will not light up. 10. MS Series Decoder If all of these appear to be in order, then you can call 800-736-6677 or e-mail 11.
