INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of a Broadcast Tools® WVRC-4, Four Channel

WEB and Voice Dial-up Remote Control System (referred to as the WVRC-4 throughout this manual). We’re confident that this product should give you many years of dependable service. This manual is intended to give you all the information needed to install and operate the Broadcast Tools® WVRC-4.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Only qualified technical personnel should install the WVRC-4. Any attempt to install this device by a person who is not technically qualified could result in a hazardous condition to the installer or other personnel, and/or damage to the WVRC-4 or other equipment. Broadcast transmitters can operate at voltages that are potentially lethal. Please ensure that proper safety precautions have been made before installing this device. If you are unfamiliar with this type of equipment, please contact a properly qualified engineer to handle the installation and setup of the WVRC-4.

For additional safety, it is strongly recommended that, in addition to setting the WVRC-4 in to OP/PGM mode, the remote/local switch on any transmitter or high voltage equipment also be set to local mode.

While the WVRC-4’s relays are physically capable of handling 250 VAC, this practice is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. The pluggable euroblock screw terminals are not designed to shield humans from potentially dangerous voltages. Contact with high voltages can cause serious injury or death. The maximum recommended voltage for the WVRC-4 is 30V. Switching of high voltages should only be done external from the WVRC-4 and in a manner that isolates the voltages from accidental contact with humans.

Product Overview

The WVRC-4 provides a cost-effective, half-rack solution for web based and/or recordable voice response dial-up transmitter site control. The WVRC-4 was designed from a users point of view, so all of the basic functionality you need is included to control your site equipment, while including the accessories other manufacturers consider optional. Each analog (metering), status, silence sensor, temperature sensor and power failure input can be configured to email up to four individual email addresses, allowing different input alarms to be routed to different email recipients.

The WVRC-4 is equipped with a browser based 100-event program scheduler for relay control and alarm muting, along with an FIFO 8192-event alarm logger. The user can enable a sound effect to play when an out of tolerance alarm is generated.

We have also provided SNMP capabilities to allow multiple units to be monitored with any SMNP manager software package.

The WVRC-4 is equipped with four high-resolution analog (metering) channels, while each of the four optically isolated status channels may be configured for 5 to

24vdc wet or dry (contact closures) status monitoring. The four control channels are equipped with independent SPDT one-amp relays for each raise/on and lower/off function for a total of eight relays. These relays may be latched, unlatched (Web mode only) or momentarily closed.

The WVRC-4 is supplied with spoken words and phrases in English, while the user is free to record words and phrases in any language. In addition, the WVRC-4 may be programmed for dial-up operation via HyperTerminal, while the Java applet programming can be performed using your favorite web browser.

System expansion may be accomplished by cascading multiple WVRC-4’s on the same telephone line and/or Ethernet switch.

Inspection

CAUTION!

Please examine your WVRC-4 carefully for any damage that may have been sustained during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper.

The package should contain the WVRC-4, this manual and/or CD, 25-foot temperature probe, 7 foot BLUE straight-through CAT 5 cable, 7 foot GRAY crossover

CAT 5 cable, RJ-11 telephone cable, 7-foot DB-9 straight-through serial cable and the 12 VAC@1 amp wall transformer.

Installation

Surge Protection

The WVRC-4 has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we recommend that you use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC line. Lightning strikes and other high surges in voltage levels will damage your WVRC-4 and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For lightning protection devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.

Installation of the

WVRC-4 in high RF environments should be performed with care.

Shielded cable is suggested for all monitoring and control connections with all shields tied to the station ground terminal. The station ground should be connected to any available rear panel ground terminal or chassis ground screw using an 18 or 20-gauge wire.

UPS Standby Power System

We recommend that you connect your WVRC-4 to a UPS system. While all operating and user parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM, brownout conditions and lightning induced spikes can disable or damage equipment. A UPS helps minimize the risk to the WVRC-4 and has the added benefit that it will then be able to notify you of the power outage by email, phone or pager depending on your system configuration.

CAUTION!

Analog (metering) inputs

CAUTION!

Analog input (metering) samples may be elevated several hundred volts above ground on some external equipment. Permanent damage may occur to the WVRC-4 and/or external equipment if a high voltage metering source is connected to the WVRC-4! Failure to observe this warning may also cause injury to the installer or other personnel.

DO NOT CONNECT

SAMPLE VOLTAGES

IN EXCESS OF POSI-

TIVE 10 VDC OR

DAMAGE MAY

OCCUR TO YOUR

WVRC-4.

CAUTION! Floating Grounds

Except for all status (wet) inputs, none of the WVRC-4’s metering inputs will accept a floating ground. Damage to the WVRC-4 or your equipment may result from connecting a floating ground output to the WVRC-4. If you require metering inputs with equipment that has a floating ground, an isolation DC amplifier must be used.

Four analog (metering) channels are connected to the WVRC-4 via depluggable euro-block screw terminals. Connect the positive side of the source to the desired channel terminal labeled ANx (where x is the channel number 1 through 4) and associated GND (ground) terminal. Each analog (metering) input can handle up to (positive only) 10 volts DC and must be ground referenced. Connect your metering ground to the associated ground terminal. Inputs are self-calibrating and are based on an internal A/D converter with a precision, low-drift voltage reference, so the reading should not drift over time or with temperature. Analog (metering) setup is performed by connecting the sample voltage to the analog (metering) input, then programming the WVRC-4 for the desired value (reading).

Status Inputs

Each of the four optically isolated status inputs can be configured to accept either a contact closure (dry = default) or a (floating, wet). Attach your dry contacts to the desired status channels StxA and STxB (where x is the status input) terminals.

Each input is equipped with a four-position header. Each input is labeled IN-x

(where x is the status input) and the header pins are labeled 1,2,3,4. The factory default is a DRY input (switch, relay contact) with jumpers between 1 & 2 and 3 &

4. In the dry configuration, the “A” terminal is ground while the “B” terminal is the cathode of the opto diode (pulled up to 5 volts through a 2.2K resistor).

To change the status input to (floating) WET (user supplied voltage between 5 and

24vdc), remove both jumpers and place ONE jumper over pins 2 & 3. Connect the positive voltage to terminal “A” (anode) and ground or minus voltage to terminal

“B”(cathode). ! NOTE: Please observe proper polarity.

Raise/Lower Relays

Raise and lower relays K1 through K4 are supplied with SPDT dry contacts.

Equipment to be controlled by the RAISE relays should be connected to the TOP terminals labeled RxNC, RxCM and RxNO (where x is the channel number), while equipment to be controlled by the LOWER relays should be connected to the BOT-

TOM terminals labeled LxNC, LxCM and LxNO (where x is the channel number).

NOTE: If mechanical latching relays are required, we suggest the Broadcast

Tools LR-5 (4PDT & 1SPST) mechanical latching relay.

Power Failure Input

Connect a user supplied 6 to 12 volts DC only power source (center positive) to the power failure input labeled PF. The barrel connector size is 2.1mm ID x 5.5mm OD.

An inexpensive 6 to 12 volts DC wall transformer of any current of 50 ma or more will work.

NOTE: The primary (120vac) of the wall transformer should be connected to the utility company side of your service. An UPS is suggested to power the

WVRC-4 during power outages.

Silence Sensor Inputs

Connect your unbalanced monaural or stereo audio source to the terminals labeled

SSL, GND and SSR. The level should be between –10 and +8 dbu. The input impedance is approximately 10K ohms. When the SS is activated, you can adjust the SS Sense trimmer for an illuminated front panel SS led. If the SS led is out, the signal is low and if it’s flashing, it in an alarm condition (if enabled). The silence sensor signal can only be aurally monitored in dial-up mode. The front panel SS

Mon trimmer should be adjusted for a comfortable level at the caller end.

CAUTION!

If the SS MON level is too high, the unit may have trouble detecting

DTMF tones.

NOTE:

The DTMF guard time jumper is factory set to the “MED” position for enhanced tone detection. In some applications, your may need to move this jumper.

TEMP Sensor Probe Input

Insert the temperature probes (25 foot cable) mini (3.5mm) plug in to the rear panel jack labeled “TEMP” (-40°F to +190°F (-40°C to +85°C).

NOTE: Please limit the total length of cable to 50 feet. Please contact the factory for the proper extension cable. The temperature probe should only be installed or removed with the power supply disconnected from the WVRC-4.

POTS Telephone Line RJ11

Connect one end of the supplied RJ11 modular cable to the rear panel RJ11 jack labeled “LINE” and the other end to the telephone line.

NOTE: Some “cell phone services” severely distort DTMF control tones resulting in unreliable control. If you plan on using the cellular system for your

POTS connection, you may have to experiment with various service providers to get reliable control. With some cellular phone services, you may need to change the DTMF guard time jumper to the “FAST” position. We recommend using a product from Telular “Phonecell® SX5D or SX7” which is designed for the GSM system (www.telular.com/).

When item (3) is selected from the PGM Menu, the Access Code, Lap, Ring Count, Repeat

Count, Silence Sensor Delay Time, Power Fail Time, Hang up time, Monitor access code and Analog Debounce Time can be programmed.

The “Access Code” may be changed from the default code of 123, allowing a user all control functions.

“Lap” defines the number of times the WVRC-4 will go through all of the numbers in the callout list when calling out an alarm if it does not receive an acknowledgement.

NOTE: Alarms are acknowledged by pushing the star (*) key when an alarm is called out.

“Ring”

defines the number of rings required before the WVRC-4 answers a call.

“Repeat”

is the number of times the voice message will be repeated when the alarm is called out. Since there is no way of knowing when the remote party answers the phone line, the WVRC-4 will start playing the alarm message a few seconds after dialing for the

“Repeat” number of times. So when an alarm call is answered, you may pick up the phone in the middle of an announcement or there may be a few seconds of silence before the start of the next message. Once the star (*) is entered to acknowledge the alarm, it will stop playing the message. You can now enter your access code and perform control functions or polling.

“Silence”

Time is programmed with a value of 0-9 with a 0 being OFF and 1-9 with values are as follows: 1 = 10 sec, 2 = 30 sec, 3 = 60 sec, 4 = 1.5 min, 5 = 2.0 min, 6 = 2.5 min,

7 = 3 min, 8 = 4.0 min and 9 = 5.0 min. Note: The silence sensor audio must be restored for a minimum of 10 seconds and the alarm must be acknowledged before it is cleared.

“Power Fail”

Time is programmed in 10 second values. For example, 2 = 20 seconds of silence or power failure to generate an alarm, 9 = 90 seconds. If it is set to “0”, the alarm will be turned off and will not call out.

The

“HU”

value refers to the number of minutes the WVRC-4 will remain off-hook after answering the call before hanging up automatically. Normally a CPC signal is sent from the

Central Office to signal it to hang up. If you are connected to a standard phone line, you can set the HU to 0, and it will remain off-hook until the CPC signal is received. If it is connected on the other side of a PBX system that does not pass the CPC signal, then a value of

1-9 minutes should be set into HU to keep it from remaining off hook and causing the line to be busy. The HU timer will be reset each time a valid DTMF is decoded showing activity. Once there is no more activity, the WVRC-4 will time-out after the HU time value and force a hang-up.

The

“Monitor Access Code”

is an alternate access code that allows a user only to monitor or poll the various inputs. No control functions can be performed unless a valid

Control Access code has been entered.

The

“Analog (metering) Debounce Timer”

is the number of ten second increments required for the analog inputs to accept an alarm condition. For example, if it is set to 3, an Analog input must be in an alarm condition for 30 seconds before an alarm will be generated.

NOTE: If set to “0”, analog alarms will be disabled and will not call out during an alarm.

Pager Numbers and Data Strings

When item 4 is selected from the PGM Menu, the pager number and pager data can be entered. To force the WVRC-4 to dial a pager number, enter a “9” in the dial-list.

That will cause the WVRC-4 to first dial the number in the page list, then it will generate two digits to identify the source of the alarm; 11-14 for analog (metering inputs one through four, 19 for a temperature alarm, 20 for a power failure, 21-24 for status inputs one through four and 29 for a silence sensor alarm. The last item to be sent is the pager data. This can be used to identify the station or location of the

WVRC-4. The comma (,) can be used any place in the dialing strings to place a one second pause and the semi-colon (;) for a five second pause.

Analog (metering) Setup

When “5” is selected from the PGM Menu, the analog (metering) calibration and

Alarm Set Points can be configured.

Select “1” to calibrate any of the analog (metering) inputs for the desired value.

Selecting a “1” will produce the following prompt “Select Ch 1-4 followed by the desired 4 digit value”. Enter the channel number, then the desired value.

NOTE: The decimal point may be added and is not considered part of the four digits

Example:

To calibrate analog (metering) channel 1, enter 1, then the desired fourdigit reading.

Example:

75.00 would be seventy-five; 750.0, seven hundred and fifty while 7500 would be seventy five hundred.

NOTE: The correct value on the analog (metering) input MUST be present for several seconds prior to entering OP/PGM mode. Once program mode is entered, the analog (metering) inputs are locked and changes made while in program mode will not be read. If there is no signal on the input, an error message will be displayed.

WEBSITE:


Enter a “2” from the Analog Set-Up menu to establish alarm set points. Analog

(metering) input set points are set up using items 1 à 4, representing analog (metering) inputs one through four.

Example:

If you’re reading is normally 7000 V, and you want it to alarm when the voltage drops below 6300 (-10%) or over 7350 (+ 5%), then enter 6300/7350.

Temperature alarm set points are set up in the analog (metering) “Alarms” menu section. Item “9” sets the low and high set points. The entry is a four-digit number with the first digit being the F or C designator. If the first digit is a “0” then the number is assumed to be Fahrenheit. If the first digit is a “1” then Celsius is assumed.

Example:

To enter low and high alarm set points of 30F and 95F, enter 0030/0095.

To enter low and high alarm set points of 10C and 40C enter 1010/1040.

Do not enter the “/”, it will be entered automatically.

Status Setup

When “6” is selected from the PGM Menu, the Status inputs are set up for either

Normally Open or Normally Closed and for the amount of DEBounce time the input has to be in an “alarm” state for an alarm to be generated.

When “1” is selected from the menu: Make changes or press Escape to accept current values. If changes are made, all four values must be entered.

When “2” is selected from the menu, the following is displayed:

Make changes or press ESC to accept current values. If changes are made, all four values must be entered. Valid settings are 0 through 9. A “0” will turn off the status input so that it will not generate an alarm. A 1-9 will set the “DEBounce” period from 10 to 90 seconds. That means that the input must be in the alarm state continuously for that amount of time for an alarm to be generated. Any interruption will cause the timer to reset.

Recording Voice Prompts (Messages):

To record voice messages into the WVRC-4, follow the steps below:

1 - Connect a TT telephone to the front panel RJ-11 jack.

2 - Press the front panel “OP/PGM” button; this should illuminate the front panel

“PGM” LED.

3 - Enter the two-digit address of the message you wish to program. The list of messages are below.

4 - The Red “REC” LED will illuminate. As soon as it lights, begin speaking the new message into the telephones mouth piece. For best results, stay at least three inches from the mouthpiece of the telephone.

5 - When finished, press the “OP/PGM” button again, the “REC” and “PGM” LED’s will extinguish.

WEBSITE:


NOTE: If the time allotted for the message you are recording elapses before the button is pressed, it will turn off automatically. For example, to record the greeting message, press the “OP/PGM” button, enter 00 on the keypad, speak the new greeting message into the handset and press the “OP/PGM” button again.

When the WVRC-4 is called, it will answer on the number of rings programmed.

When it answers, enter the default security code 123 for this example. The access

LED will illuminate once a valid security code is entered, and the “Access Accepted”

Message will play. After a valid access code is received, the addressed unit will generate a DTMF “AB” which will cause any other units in parallel to hang up.

NOTE: Multiple WVRC-4’s may be daisy-chained to allow for channel expansion. Use an unique access code for each additional WVRC-4.

Raise and Lower Relays are controlled with single digits 1-4 followed by * for

Lower or # for Raise. Once a single channel number has been entered, you can now enter * or # to operate that channel until a new channel number has been entered.

The analog value for the selected channel will play each time a number between 1 and 4 is entered as long as DIP3 is OFF.

Example:

Enter 1 – analog value 1 will play - * - The number 1 Lower relay will be held on as long as “*” received, # - Raise relay held on as long as “#” received.

If DIP3 is OFF, the associated relay message plus “raise” or “lower” will be played after the * or # is released. To find out the new analog values just press 1 again and it will speak the new value.

Audio I/O functions are controlled with the following codes, once the security code has been entered:

07 – Silence sensor monitor audio to telco ON

08 – Silence sensor monitor audio to telco OFF

NOTE: The silent sensor audio will be turned off when the WVRC-4 hangs up.

The Status inputs, Analog (metering) inputs, silence sensor and power fail inputs can be polled.

Polling Silence Sensor Alarm: 910

Polling Status inputs: 911

- polls status input 1, 912 - polls status input 2 ….

914 polls input 4.

NOTE: When polling status inputs, the actual alarm state is returned, regardless of the input being high or low. So if the input is set as Normally Closed, and it is Open when polled, it will say “Input x is “ON”.

Polling Power Failure: 919

Manual Hang-up: 920 will cause the WVRC-4 to hang up.

2 - To set up an event that occurs every Tuesday at 9:15AM, select Month=All, Day of Week=Tuesday, Hour=09, Minute=15, second=00.

A single event can be defined quite flexibly. However, complex schedules might require multiple events. For example, to schedule an event that occurs at 16:30 on

March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 would require four separate event entries.
