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.
