Introduction:

Congratulations, you have purchased a very powerful tool for your group's repeater. The

RLC-2 may seem complicated and intimidating at first, but don't worry. Setting it up and

programming it are easy and straightforward, once you have read the manual. Please take the

time to read it before you try to start programming. This will save you a lot of confusion and

frustration, as it should answer most of your questions.

The RLC-2 repeater controller consists of one repeater port, two linking ports, four analog

voltage inputs, four logical (dry contact) inputs, and eight MOSFET output drivers. The

repeater port and each of the linking ports can be configured to require one of several

combinations of COR and PL inputs for access. The RLC-2 has a single DTMF decoder that

scans between the three receiver ports, thereby supporting DTMF control from all ports of the

controller. Synthesized voice prompts the users in the programming of the controller's

variables, provides voice ID's and alarms based on the inputs, etc.

This manual consists of three main sections: setup and interfacing, programming and

commands, and the appendices with commonly referenced tables and charts. A glossary has

also been included at the end to explain some of the terms and abbreviations that are used

throughout the manual.

We have attempted to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand, but some

questions are inevitable. If you have carefully read the manual and still have questions, call

or us at (406) 587-4085 or Fax us at (406) 585-7575 write to us at
