Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum operating range of the FMT151 transmitter?
The FMT151 series is designed for long-range applications, offering a line of sight operating range of up to 5,000 metres (5km). This range is dependent on the type of antenna used and the specific installation environment.
How does the 151MHz frequency perform in industrial environments?
The 151MHz frequency is highly resistant to both natural and man-made electrical interference. This makes it an ideal choice for mining sites, agricultural areas and heavy industrial settings where electrical noise is common.
Can I operate multiple channels simultaneously?
Yes, each channel in the FMT151 series is transmitted individually. This allows for simultaneous channel transmission, meaning you can activate more than one function at the same time without signal collision.
What are the power requirements for the FMT151?
The fixed location transmitters (such as the FMT15101E and FMT15108E) require a 12V DC power supply with a current consumption of 85mA during transmission and a very low standby current of 10uA.
How do I program the transmitter to work with a receiver?
The system uses a 12-way DIP switch for digital coding. To pair the devices, simply match the 12-way DIP switch settings on the transmitter to those on your FMR151 series receiver. It is recommended to change these from the factory default for security.
Are there different transmission modes available?
Yes, the FMT151 series features selectable transmission modes including Continuous Transmission, Off Delay and One Burst transmission. These modes allow the user to customize how the signal is sent based on your specific application.
What types of inputs can be connected to the transmitter?
The transmitter is designed to interface with any Normally Open (NO) voltage-free contact. This includes push buttons, toggle switches, reed switches, or relay contacts from other control systems.
Which receivers are compatible with the FMT151?
The FMT151 series is fully compatible with all Elsema FMR151 series receivers. This includes 1, 2, 4, and 8-channel receivers with various power supply options (12-24V AC/DC or 240V AC).
Can the operating frequency be changed?
The transmitter provides 8 user selectable frequencies within the 151MHz band. These can be adjusted via a 3 way DIP switch on the board, allowing multiple systems to operate in the same vicinity without interfering with one another.
Is an external antenna required?
Yes, the transmitter includes an antenna connection (SO239 socket), and for optimum performance, the Elsema ANT151M is recommended.
