Site Codes
You must set the 46RX family receiver and the transmitters to the same site
code. The 46RX family receiver will only respond to signals from a transmitter
set to the correct site code.
For some modes the site code to set for the transmitters is shorter than the
site code set on the 46RX family receiver. The Mode Details section gives
the correct number of switches to set on the transmitter.
Mode Switch
To set the 46RX family receiver into the desired mode, set switches 4 to 8 of
the Mode Switch into the correct pattern. The pattern for each mode is shown
in the Mode Details section of this Chapter. Note that switch 1 (Self Test)
should always be OFF.
Transmitters and Trigger Devices
This sub-section describes how individual transmitters signal the state of their
trigger devices. Consult the instructions provided with each transmitter for
more details on installing and using the transmitters.
Each type of transmitter uses one or more channels to send information to
the receiver. For example, a personal attack button might use one channel,
but a door contact sensor might use two: one for door open/closed and one
for tamper reporting.
For two channel transmitters this guide calls the channel normally used for
alarm reporting "channel A", and the channel used for tamper reporting
"channel B". Single channel transmitters have the equivalent of channel A
only.
Four channel transmitters have the equivalent of A, B, C, and D channels.
Transmitters send one of two signals over individual channels: ACTIVE or
RESTORE. Some transmitters send an ACTIVE signal every time the detec-
tor is activated (for example a pendant panic button). Other transmitters send
an ACTIVE signal when the detector is activated in one direction, and a
RESTORE signal when the detector is activated in the other direction (for
example a door contact).
To make sure the 46RX family receiver indicates correctly which transmitter
has signalled, you must set the appropriate switches within the transmitter to
a channel or device number. The Mode Details section tells you which
switches to set in the transmitter to obtain the correct device numbers. Ignore
the switch settings suggested in the leaflets supplied with the transmitters
(which are for use with other receivers). Use the switch settings suggested in
this Guide.
