General description of operation
Each module can be set to act as a ‘ transmitter’ or ‘receiver’ A telemetry system is achieved
when two modules are paired together, as transmitter (BRAVO-Tx) and receiver (BRAVO-Rx).
Each time any input changes on the BRAVO-Tx, it will transmit the status of ALL inputs to the
paired BRAVO-Rx(s). The BRAVO-Rx(s) which will set their outputs to match the BRAVO-Tx
inputs. After each state change the modules will return to sleep mode.
Note: All of the 8 channels are common to all modules in a system
Example: If you are using a system with two or many Bravo modules each channel be will com-
mon to all modules ie. if you change state on transmitter input 8, then all receiver output 8’s
will also change state.
