Description

The GIGALINK™ is an advanced Remote Control technology available in the world today. GIGALINK™ is an invention that has revolutionised the entire Remote Control technology including Elsema's earlier version of FMT- … and FMR- … series. The GLR.... series state-of-the-art invention brings a new dimension in the world of Remote Control technology in domestic, commercial and industrial applications.

The innovative microcontroller technology replaces the traditional dip switch coding which eliminates any possible code grabbing. Special features such as over four billion code combinations, ability to program any number of transmitters to any of the receiver outputs, three user selectable modes, dual conversion superhet and operational over a wide voltage range all adds up to the most advanced and secure Remote Control available.

The microcontroller has a built-in channelised code programming system. Channelised code programming programs all the channels, from the sixteen channel receiver, to the sixteen channel transmitter. That is, channel one on the transmitter activates channel one on the receiver and alternatively. To channelise code program a sixteen channel transmitter read the GLR2708/REX16 receiver setup instructions.

Mode setting

Each output has momentary setting.

AC/DC Supply and Antenna

AC/DC power supply and antenna is connected to the 3-way terminal block. Do not connect the supply to the 2.5-mm coding socket since connection may damage the microcontroller.

Channels

The sixteen channels are solid state outputs using the 2 X ULN2803 Integrated Circuit. This IC is inserted to a socket that enables the user to easily change the output stage in case of a damaged output. The ULN2803 IC is available from Elsema. Simultaneous reception of multi-channels is not possible with this receiver.

Dual Crystal Control

The GLR2708/REX16 is crystal controlled using dual conversion. Dual conversion is where the received frequency is mixed twice, using a crystal at both mixing stages. This results in less interference, enabling the receiver to operate in noisy industrial applications, improving operating performance, which allows the receiver to pass EMC and stringent radio regulations around the world.

Unique Code System

The microcontroller EEPROM allows large volume users to have a unique code. This enables Elsema to offer everyone “your own” radio control.

Case

The GLR2708/REX16 is supplied without a case. This allows the receiver to be integrated according to your needs.

Block Diagram

Remove the ULN2803 from the GLR2708 and connect Elsema's 16W-ribbon cable. Channel one on the GLR2708 needs to be connected to channel one on the REX16. See note A in above diagram.


Application Notes

Care should be taken with the solid-state outputs that they are protected from inductive loads. This is done by connecting diodes across your inductive load or using Elsema's line filter, LF24.

Inductive loads such as relays must be clamped with a diode across the relay coil. If this is not done the spikes generated by the relay will lock-up the receiver. When a lock-up occurs you will need to remove the power and re-connected it.

Only one channel can be received. Simultaneous reception of multi-channels is not possible with this receiver.
