Strand R120 Riggers Remote

[KeithGinty]

I have been trying for a few days to get my R120 work with my 520i

I know it did work about a year ago but I have not been working with this company for a while hence something has happened.

 

The Wireless Base Station is connected to Aux3 on the Desk.

I have followed the instructions in the manual but cant get it working.

 

The Remote's backlight comes on and there is a flashing cursor in the top left of the screen.

The bases station RX and TX lights flash everytime I press a button on the Remote.

 

Anybody got any ideas?

Sounds like it's not configured in the set up. You need to make sure it's plugged into the same port as you have configured in the set up. Sorry if I'm teaching grandma to suck eggs.

One of the most common mistakes I've come across on these is the address setting.

 

When the R120 powers up, it will briefly display an address/unit number. "X"

 

On the 500 remote setup screen, there are 2 columns available for the address. Make sure it's set to 0 and X as opposed to X and 0.

 

If there is still no joy, try one of the other aux ports.

Could anybody even send me a picture or tell me the Port, Baud and Config setting on the Remote Setup Screen!

 

Im a little confused over the two Aux3 setting, you can either have 2Aux3 or 4Aux3

 

Thanks

Select Handheld remote to be R120 Radio

 

Net Node is Local. (plugs locally into the rear of the console)

 

Port is 2AUX(1-3). The leading 2 denotes RS232 protocol. 4 would denote RS485 protocol. Aux(1-3) is set according to which port you have the base station plugged in.

 

Baud 9K6

 

Config 8-N-1

 

Address ____0 ____X where X is the unit number displayed on the handheld remote at poweron.

 

Please advise how you get on.
