Page 12 M1XRFTW Installation Manual
Fundamentally only 1 M1XRFTW Wireless Transceiver is needed to add 144 wireless zones to an M1 or M1EZ8 Control. But
this presumes that each wireless sensor is installed within the coverage range of the single transceiver. In large buildings or
where all sensors cannot be covered by a single M1XRFTW transceiver then up to 3 additional M1XRFTWs may be connected to
the data bus and deployed into the more distant areas. IMPORTANT! If additional M1XRFTWs are installed they MUST be set
and enrolled ONLY at data bus addresses 3, 4, and 5.

Appendix A - Data Bus Selection Table
This table should help visualize how the Wireless Zones and Hardwired Zones share the data bus address assignments. Please note that
No Wireless Zones Are Allowed Above Zone 160. This table shows the starting wireless Zone # and data bus address along with the
additional data bus addresses and Zone #’s necessary to obtain the total and best mix of wireless and hardwired zones. The left column
indicates the total maximum wireless zones that may be obtained based on the data bus addresses chosen.
1. The bolded column indicates that the 1st M1XRFTW Transceiver must be at data bus address 2. This also means that the first wireless
zone will be Zone #17.
2. If possible, try to determine how many total wireless zones might ever be needed now or in the future on this installation. And be sure to
also consider the possibility of future hardwired zones and M1XIN hardwired expanders in the future.
NOTE: The total (max.) number of wireless zones will be decreased by 16 zones for any hardwired expanders installed
and enrolled in the data bus addresses at or below Addr 10. The reason is that only zones 17 to 160 can be used for
wireless zones, and data bus addresses 2 thru 10 correspond to zones 17 to 160.
It is strongly recommended that all wireless zones be sequential, with no hardwired zones interspersed between them.
The following are suggested guidelines:
- If there is any possibility that additional wireless zones might be needed in the future, consider leaving a gap of 1 or more data bus
addresses between the M1XRFTW data bus address belonging to the last wireless zone and any M1XIN hardwired zone expanders.
- If there is little or no likelihood of additional wireless zones being required, the 1st hardwired zone expander can be If setup and enrolled
at the first available data bus address right after the last wireless zone
3. Start down the left column and pick the line that represents the maximum number of wireless zones required. Follow this row across
to find the first column indicating “hardwired”. The top of this column shows the data bus address where an M1XIN Hardwired Zone
Expander may be enrolled.
- Up to 3 additional “redundant” M1XRFTW Transceivers may optionally be installed at data bus addresses 3, 4, & 5. Redundant Receivers
may be remotely mounted and wired back to the M1 Control to provide additional range and coverage in extremely large or difficult
buildings. See Appendix C regarding Redundant Receivers.
NOTE: An M1XRFTW installed for redundancy does not increase the number of wireless zones, it only helps to improve
the range and coverage.
