PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DXS-36AF is a battery powered stationary transmitter designed for use with AlarmForce
receivers. Triggering the transmitter with its built-in magnetic switch or an external switch
sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its companion receiver. The DXS-36AF can send fi ve
different signals: alarm, restore, low battery, status, and tamper.
The digital code format used in the transmitter features over a million possible codes. The
transmitter is pre-coded at the factory to a unique system code, so no fi eld coding is required.
The receiver must be programmed to the transmitter’s system code before testing and
operation. Refer to the receiver’s instructions for details on programming.
In a typical installation, the magnet is mounted on a door or window and the transmitter is
mounted on the frame. When the magnet moves more than 1/2” away from the transmitter, an
alarm signal is sent. When the magnet returns next to the unit, a restore signal is sent. The
magnet is adjustable with four height positions. A 1/4” high magnet spacer is also supplied to
snap on to the base of the magnet.
Alarms and restores can also be sent from external normally closed contacts wired to the
transmitter’s external switch input terminals. The two screw terminals are for connection to one
normally closed external contact or multiple normally closed external contacts wired in series.
External contacts wire through an opening in the rear of the case.
An internal jumper selects which switch input to use. Selections are: internal magnetic switch
only, external switch only, or both external and internal switch.
Approximately every two hours, the DXS-36AF will send a status signal to the receiver. The
status signal updates the receiver to the transmitter’s current condition. By monitoring status
signals, the receiver can determine if a transmitter has a low battery or has been removed
from the system.
Pressing the test button on the case sends a test signal that updates the receiver with the
current state of the transmitter. When the test button is pressed, the transmit indicator lights.
For two minutes after the test button is pressed, the indicator will light each time the unit sends
a signal. The indicator light shines through the transmitter case.
The transmitter contains a feature to detect unauthorized tampering. When the transmitter’s
case is opened, a tamper signal is sent to the receiver.
The transmitter is powered from one Type 2450 3-Volt lithium battery with an expected battery
life of up to 5 years.
