WARRANTY AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these safety instructions carefully before using the product:
Warranty will be void, if the product is used in any way, which is in contradiction with the
instructions given in this manual, or if the housing of the radio modem has been opened or
tampered with.
The radio modem is to be used only on frequencies allocated by local authorities and without
exceeding the given maximum allowed output power ratings. SATEL Oy is not responsible, if any
products manufactured by it are used in unlawful ways.
The devices mentioned in this manual are to be used only according to the instructions described
in this manual. Faultless and safe operation of the devices can be guaranteed only if the
transport, storage, operation and handling of the devices are appropriate. This also applies to the
maintenance of the products.
To prevent damage both the radio modem and any terminal devices must always be switched
OFF before connecting or disconnecting the serial connection cable. It should be ascertained that
different devices used have the same ground potential. Before connecting any power cables the
output voltage of the power supply should be checked.

1 GENERAL
1.1 SATEL i-LINK Pulse Counter and I/O -converter
The SATEL i-LINK is a Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint transparent I/O-converter with a pulse
counter input. The device works together with SATELLINE-1870E radio modems. In Point-to Point
transmission the digital status information can be sent through the radio modem to output in the
other end. In Point-to-Multipoint mode it is also possible to read information from pulse
transponders. Point-to-Multipoint transmission is possible adopting software suitable for the
SATEL i-LINK.
