Mx205 Turn-On Coil
|
The turn-on coil is a handy device that allows any TelemetryPro transmitter to be powered-on without having to gain access to its power switch. This means the transmitter can be turned-on after already being installed into a nosecone. Or alternatively, it means there is no need to have a hole in the nosecone to gain access to the power switch.
A user just needs to press and hold the silver button on the turn-on coil while sliding the coil around the outside of the nosecone such that the tip of the nosecone passes through the middle of the coil. The turn-on coil generates a high frequency magnetic field that fills the entire loop area and is detected by a special circuit built into the transmitter. When the transmitter switches on, it produces a one second beep to let the user know. It then beeps out its transmitter ID code and repeats that every so often in case it is needed and to serve as an "I am still alive" indicator. The turn-on coil is six inches in diameter. Since the transmitter is mounted near the tip of a nosecone, this six inch coil will slide down far enough to reach the transmitter even on very large diameter nosecones. The turn-on coil has a green LED indicator that shows the battery voltage is good and that the unit is operating. It is extremely bright and can easily be seen in direct sunlight. There is no power switch on the turn-on coil itself. Just one silver button that powers it on and activates the coil. The button is recessed flush to prevent accidental activation during storage and handling. The turn-on coil uses a standard 9v battery. The turn-on coil can only power-on a transmitter. It cannot power it off. However, the transmitter can be powered-off remotely by selecting the appropriate command from the receiver's command menu. |
