<br />000207 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The HANDAR 548 Receiver operates ~~rrentlv at both 300 and <br />1200 baud rates. Thus, it can operate within an existing 300 <br />baud system A!!..l! also with a mix of 1200 baud transmitters. <br />The receiver also has an LID display to provide network sta- <br />tus: percentages of quality, noise, and loading are displayed, <br />which are very helpful in determining if the system is degra- <br />ding due to too many sensors, noise, etc. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The 548 Receiver has separate receiver and decoder units so <br />that the receiver may be located as close as possible to the <br />antenna to reduce cable losses. The receiver is a synthesized <br />unit operating in both VHF and UfF bands. Thus, frequencies <br />can be easily changed, if required. <br /> <br />· The Handar Alert Data Base Software provides. many unique <br />and convenient features including, but not limited to: <br /> <br />--Completely menu driven for ease-of-use. <br />--Single word (macro) commands to save time and reduce <br />training requirements. <br />--Use of remote terminals to access Base Station displays <br />and data. <br />--Data summary reports that take averages, minimums, <br />maximums, etc of reported data values. <br />--Alarm messages and tones for all sensors, including low <br />battery. Alarm log file. <br />--Password for configuration security. <br />--Data file size not arbitrarily limited except by available <br />disk space. <br />--Communications Log to monitor missing transmissions. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Environmental testing of ~~h unit shipped from HANDAR is <br />a standard production operating test. Remote Data Transmit- <br />ters and Repeaters are tested to operate at -200C and +500C <br />before any un'it is shipped. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />HANDAR weather sensors can be interfaced to the Alert system <br />through use of the optional analog interface board. Up to <br />sixteen analog sensors plus one wind speed sensor can be <br />interfaced. HANDAR's wind speed and wind direction sensors <br />have been tested by the United States National Weather Ser- <br />vice's Testing and Evaluation Center in Steding, Virginia. <br /> <br />5 <br />
