ATX6 Installation and User Guide

If ‘PcL’, ‘485’ or ‘GPS’ is selected as the time reference, the ‘PCL’, ‘485’ or ‘GPS’ LED will flash twice each time a valid signal is received.

The ‘485’ or ‘UHF’ LED will flash once each time a signal is transmitted by the ATX6.

AirTime Transmit Mode:

Automatic:

When not in Receive Mode (automatically or manually initiated) the ATX6 will transmit the RC radio signal each odd minute (if RC Emulation has been enabled). The ATX6 will transmit the AirTime radio signal each minute, or each even minute (if RC Emulation has been enabled). When an external amplifier is used, the ATX6 will transmit an AirTime signal 4 times per hour.

Manual:

Transmit Mode is entered by pressing and holding TRNS (SET) for 2 seconds, and is evidenced by the ‘~’ symbol appearing in the display solidly and the UHF LED flashing once each time it transmits a signal.

When AirTime Transmit Mode is active, the ATX6 will transmit the AirTime synchronization signal to all ATX-series devices, once every 10- seconds for one hour. This can be helpful when installing and testing other ATX-series devices in the system.

If the TRANSMIT (SET) button is pressed during the 15-minute Receive Mode that occurs automatically upon unit power-up and during the period beginning at 1:05AM, 3:05AM and 10:45PM each day, or as a result of manually starting Receive Mode (see below), transmissions will not occur until Receive mode has expired or been cancelled.

During AirTime Transmit Mode, all other Normal operations (except RC radio transmissions) will continue. Transmit Mode can be terminated by pressing and holding the TRNS (SET) button for 2 seconds, and is evidenced by the ‘~’ symbol disappearing from the display.
