The following table summarizes wireless expansion characteristics.
Zones Supported • The system supports up to 63 wireless transmitters
(5700 or 5800 series), plus a wireless keypad.
• To expand the system using wireless, one or two of the
same type of RF Receivers can be used.
• Any zone from 1-63 can be used as a 5700 series
wireless zone. The total number of transmitters
supported by each receiver is shown in the transmitters
supported table. Any zone from 1-87 can be used as a
5800 series wireless zone.
RF Receivers (General) • The 4140XMPT2 supports the 4280, 4281 and 5881
series RF receivers. Refer to the transmitters supported
table for the number of zones supported by each
receiver.
• The receivers respond to status and alarm signals from
wireless transmitters (@345MHz USA; 315MHz Canada)
within a nominal range of 200 feet (60m), and relay this
information to the control.
• Two of the same type of receivers can be used to
provide either a greater area of coverage, or to provide
redundant protection. The type of receiver used is
identified in program field 1*32.
• Receivers must be mounted externally to the control.
• The 4280 & 4280-8 receivers are connected to the
polling loop.
• The 4281 and 5881 series receivers are connected to
the console data lines.
Receiver Supervision • If the connection is broken between the receiver and the
control panel, a TROUBLE will be displayed for zones 89
or 91 (if type 05 is assigned). In addition, all zones
associated with the RF device will report a trouble
condition.
• If, within a programmed interval of time, the receiver does
not hear from any of its transmitters, a TROUBLE will
appear for zones 88 or 90 (if type 05 is assigned).
• 4280 only: If the cover of the 4280 is removed, a
TROUBLE will be displayed for zones 89 or 91 (if type 05
is assigned).
House Identification • Receivers respond only to transmitters set to the same
house ID (01-31). This prevents system interference
from transmitters in other nearby systems.
• Use Sniffer Mode (described later) to make sure you do
not choose a House ID that is in use in a nearby system.
• 4280 house ID is set via DIP switches.
• 4281/5881 (for 5827) house ID is programmed via #93
Menu Mode, Device Programming.
Sniffer Mode For • To check for house IDs being used in nearby systems,
House Id set the receiver's House ID to "00", then enter your
(Code + [#] + [2]) "Installer Code" + [#] + [2]
• The receiver will now "sniff" out any House IDs in the area
and display them. Keeping the receiver in this mode for
about 2 hours will give a good indication of the house IDs
being used. To exit the Sniffer Mode, simply key your
installer code + OFF, then set your house ID to one not
displayed in the "Sniffer Mode".
• Important: Since Sniffer Mode effectively disables RF
point reception, Sniffer Mode cannot be entered while
any partition is armed.
