Internal vs. External Receivers
When the Controller is positioned near the
monitored zone, the Receiver is mounted
internally in the Controller housing.
When the Controller is positioned away from the
monitored zone, the Receiver is mounted at the
zone in a 4”x4”x2” electrical box.
Figure A.3 4”x4”2” electrical box
Keep in mind when the Controller is remotely
located, at least two 4”x4”x2” electrical boxes
are needed at the zone. One box is used to mount
the Receiver near the door as mentioned above
and the second box is used as a junction box for
the composite cable (where connections are
made to wires that “branch” to the individual
system components).
Receiver Mounting Options
If you receive your system equipment and
determine that the Receiver needs to be changed
from an Internal to External mounting or visa
versa, contact your Accutech Representative
about acquiring the proper faceplate.
Receiver Positioning/Stagger Tuning
Position the Receiver within approximately 6
feet of the center of the monitored zone or door
opening. It is permissible to mount it beyond 6
feet, but do not exceed 15 feet from the center of
the zone or door opening.
The recommended location for the Receiver unit
is up and out of the way such as above the
doorframe or above drop ceiling panels if
possible. Receivers monitor 40 feet outward in
every direction; therefore, they should be
positioned approximately 70 feet apart.
If the Receivers of adjacent zones need to be
closer than 70 feet (
Figure A.4), implement
Stagger Tuning (
page 4-6) to avoid crosstalk
(activated Tag from one zone being detected in
another zone).

Connecting the Receiver
Whether internally or externally mounted, the
wire connections from the Receiver to the
Controller are the same (
see Figure A.5).
NOTE: The internally mounted Receiver is
provided with a factory-installed interconnect
cable. There should be no reason to ever
disassemble it. If however it should need
replacement for any reason use an 18-inch piece
of 22-gauge 4-conductor non-shielded cable.
