The Genie RF200D is a full featured 433MHz wireless interface designed for short range
transmissions. The heart of the RF200D is the Si4455 radio transceiver which gives the
RF200D full bi-directional communication for its inputs, outputs, serial data and repeat
functions. Cased in an IP65 rated enclosure the RF200D is designed for indoor and outdoor
use.
Each RF200D has two input channels which can accept either an analogue input signal from
0 to 12V DC for remote monitoring, or a digital signal set by 4 thresholds.
Outputs 1 & 2 are volt free relay contacts and can be configured to work in three modes,
momentary, toggle and timed outputs (with intervals from 1 second to 30 minutes). An
option to pair its own input to output allows the RF200D to work as a timer as well as
transmitting its status to other paired
devices.
The third output can be switched between a tamper relay and a third channel. In tamper
mode the RF200D can monitor local and remote tamper switches, lost status update signal
from remote units or report a paired input from a remote unit. When not used as a tamper
circuit the third channel can function as a momentary volt free output.
Other features include a built in signal strength meter, site survey mode for the engineer
to check signal strengths when installing units and a RS232 / RS485 serial interface for
transmission of protocols Pelco P & D and any open channel protocol.
Please Note:
The RF200D (V2) is not backward compatible with the RF200D (V1) devices. The RF200D
version number is clearly printed on the PCB.
