Acceptable multiLINX Alarm Spacing
Each alarm will also act as a repeating
station, so any signal received by an alarm
will be rebroadcast.
After final installation, test all alarms
for proper multiLINX radio connection.
Simply press and release the test
button of an alarm while having a
helper observe the remote alarms.
Maximum
Spacing in
Open Area
200’ (70m)
The multiLINX network communicates using
radio frequencies 905.2MHz - 911.2MHz. The
range of the radio has been tested to 200 feet
(70m) in open area distance testing.
Exigent Sensors recommends complete home fire protection. This can
be achieved by installing a combination of smoke, CO and heat alarms in
their appropriate locations in every room of the house.
