Alutron Modules Inc 420 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora Power Excellence Ltd. Ontario, CANADA L4G 3V7 Hose-handle RF Transmitter family (HHRFT) Circuit Comparisons The following table lists the RF transmitter boards used in each member of the HHRFT family of vacuum hose-handle transmitters: Description RF transmitter board HHRFT RFT Model # B=battery; AC=line power Layout gerber schematic FB Flextech B PWB553 MCP553 FA Flextech AC PWB553 MCP553 PB Progression B PWB550 MCP550 PA Progression AC PWB550 MCP550 GB Gas Pump B PWB550 MCP550 GA Gas Pump AC PWB550 MCP550 CB Cen-Tec B PWB553 MCP553 AB Alutron B PWB553 MCP553 As can be seen there are two different circuit configurations used and these are compared as follows: • Electronic Circuit designs MCP553 and MCP550 The schematic diagrams for these designs are essentially identical. Their respective Bills of Materials differ only in the orientation of the connectors used for in-circuit programming of the microcontroller. • Printed Wiring Board layouts PWB 553 and PWB550 In order to accommodate the differing cavity dimensions within the various handles it was necessary to produce two different shaped boards. The orientation of the RF generation and transmission circuitry is identical between the two. The distance between the microcontroller circuitry and the RF sections of the boards is different with this being marginally larger in the case of PWB550 thereby producing a longer, narrower form factor compared to PWB553.

All models are installed inside a vacuum hose handle and use a permanently attached antenna consisting of wire soldered to PCB. See attached list of model differences. All models use one of two basic types of PCB, PWB553 or PWB550. Both PCB’s use identical RF and base band circuits with only minor differences in layout. The AC powered units use a separate AC power board with plug connector.
