3. AMR Dual Channel Wireless Transceiver Model 6215 User Manual March 2010 Introduction American Mine Research s Dual Channel Wireless Transceiver MN 6215 will bring additional features to the existing Mine Net tracking and communication system The MN 6215 will act as a wireless repeater and or a wireless reader for Mine Net Messengers and Smart Tags which will greatly expand the versatility of the communication system This unit will have multiple configurations to help solve a variety of mine tracking and communication difficulties Installation Device Configuration Set the device configuration for GoPad LilyPad or MeshPad using the configuration switches see table 1 For example to select the GoPad configuration set SW1E SW1D SW1B and SW1G to the off position SW1F and SW1H will control the receiver squelch range for the Linx radio transceivers and should be set to the off position The fine adjustment squelch control for the Tag channel potentiometer R7 should be set to minimum squelch counterclockwise until it clicks The fine adjustment squelch control for the Messenger channel potentiometer R4 should be set to maximum squelch clockwise until it clicks to match the rest of the system component settings The squelch controls should only changed if necessary Set the address select switches using BS2 amp BS1 BS2 MSD Tens BS1 LSD Ones to a unique address between 00 and 99 Set dip switch SW1A 1 to the
