Introduction
The MS Series encoders and decoders are ideal for remote control and
command, security, keyless entry, status monitoring and a host of similar
applications. They allow the status of up to eight buttons or contacts to be
securely transferred via a wireless link. The Master Development System
gives a designer all the tools necessary to incorporate the MS Series into a
product. This guide shows how to take full advantage of the development
boards included with the system. The Master Development System serves
several important functions:
• Rapid Evaluation: It allows the performance and features of the MS
Series encoder and decoder to be quickly evaluated.
• Design: It shows how to design with the MS Series and how to
interface with other components. It also demonstrates the overall
system function, making it easy to develop the initial system design.
• Prototype Development: It allows for additional circuitry to be placed
directly on the board so that it can act as the first prototype of the
product. All of the signals are available on a wire-wrap header for easy
connection to external circuitry.
This kit includes 2 development boards, 2 MS Series encoders*, 2 MS
Series decoders*, and two CW Series antennas, 1 LR or ES Series
transmitter, 1 LR or ES Series receiver, full documentation and batteries.
The decoder board is populated with 1 QS Series USB module.
*One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on your first prototype board.
