1. Introduction
We thank you for the purchase of HAL-2 beacon which, we hope, will give you satisfaction in all your
applications.
Before going into the programming of the beacon it is mandatory to know two French words :
-
OUI for Yes

NON for No.
Now that you are French fluent, you can start programming the ARGOS beacon.
2. Precaution of Use
Before programming the beacon be sure that:
- You have the right RS232 cable (see 5)
- Your ID Address is in HEXADECIMAL
- You have a recent version of HyperTerminal. If not, we invite you to download one at the
following address: http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html
- The HyperTerminal serial interface is correctly set-up (See 6)

4. RF Interfaces
The GPS input and the 401 RF output are made with
micro RF connectors (Female MCX 50 Ohms
Connectors).
-
The RF output connector for the ARGOS / SCD

antenna is located at the opposite side of
connectors.

HAL2 : two miniature connectors.
Power Connector
The 5-pin connector allows for power supply and ON/OFF command of the beacon.
Pin 1 +VCC positive power supply (from 6.5 to 14V)
Pin 2 +VCC positive power supply (from 6.5 to 14V)
Pin 3 OFF HAL HAL ON/OFF command
Pin 4 GND 0Volt negative power supply return line
Pin 5 GND 0Volt negative power supply return line
The beacon's 5-pin connector is a MOLEX ref. 53048-0510 ; the mating female jack is ref. 51021-0500 fitted
with 50079-8 contacts
The HAL2 shall be powered from a voltage ranging from 7 to 14V, the power source shall be
capable of supplying a maximum current of 1 Ampere, shall feature a minimum internal
impedance (< 0.3 Ohms), and shall not generate disturbing frequencies.
If the distance exceeds 50 cm, then wire section shall be greater than 0.6 mm
mm.
Warning
Pins 1 & 2 shall be connected together to the
positive terminal of the power supply.
Pins 4 & 5 shall be connected together to the
negative terminal of the power supply.
Caution : The electrical 0 Volt (pins 4 & 5)
is linked to the mechanical ground of the
case.
Pin 3 OFF HAL shall be either left unconnected (HAL ON) or connected to 0 Volt (HAL OFF).
The standard interface operates by means of an open collector transistor. Pin 3 is fed to the positive polarity of the
supply by means of a 1 MOhm internal resistor.

The beacon's 12-pin connector is a MOLEX ref. 53048-1210 ; its mating part is a female jack ref. 510211200 fitted with 50079-8 contacts.)
TXD serial link output is to be connected to RXD of the external interface (PC for example).
RXD serial link input is to be connected to TXD of the external interface (PC for example).
Warning
To avoid any hazardous change of mode when using the beacon, it is imperative to connect:
-
PIN N 4 of the J1 connector to PIN N8 of the J2 connector

PIN N 5 of the J1 connector to PIN N 6 of the J2 connector.
