• 

Resettable

 (use when bypassing a 24-hour 

contact): The relay will activate when the detector 

first sees motion. Any additional motion restarts 

the latch timer so that the relay deactivates only 

when the detector is no longer seeing motion and 

the latch time has expired.

• 

Non-resettable

 (use for an access control 

system): The relay will activate when the detector 

first sees motion and deactivate at the end of 

latch time even if motion is still present.

Configuration

Use the on-board DIP Switches to configure the 

operation of the detector. Refer to Figure 4 for proper 

switch positioning.

Resettable/Non-resettable Timer Selection

DIP Switch 1 determines if the relay resets at the end 

of latch time, or if latch time is extended by additional 

motion. Refer to Table 1 and Figure 4 for more 

information.

 

Input Power 

12 or 24 VDC: 
35 mA at 12 VDC when in alarm 
38 mA at 24 VDC when in alarm 
12 or 24 VAC: 
42 mA at 12 VAC when in alarm 
48 mA at 24 VAC when in alarm 

Standby Power 

There is no internal standby battery. Provide 

38 mAh for each hour of standby time 

required.

Relay 

Two Form "C" contact sets rated 2.0 A at 

30 VDC or VAC maximum for DC resistive 

loads.

Temperature 

-20°F to +120°F (-29°C to +49°C). For UL and 

C-UL certified installations, the temperature 

range is +32°F to +120°F (0°C to +49°C.) 

Humidity 

0-95% non-condensing

Refer to Figure 3 Relay Wiring Options.

Relay Mode

DIP Switch 2 selects the relay mode. This allows you to 

select a fail safe by default, or a fail secure mode. Refer 

to Table 2 and Figure 4 for more information.

• 

Fail Safe:

 In the event of a power loss, the REX 

(Request to Exit) detector releases the device 

connected to it (for example, magnetic door lock 

or electric door strike.)

• 

Fail Secure:

 In the event of a power loss, the REX 

detector does not release the device connected  

to it (for example, magnetic door lock or electric 

door strike).

  In Fail Secure Mode, the REX detector shall be 

installed in a manner that does not impair the 

intended operation of panic hardware used in 

conjunction with the REX detector.

  Failure Secure mode must be authorized by the 

local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

LED Enable/Disable

DIP Switch 3 selects whether the on-board LED is 

enabled or disabled. If enabled, the LED operates 

normally when motion is detected.

When LED is enabled, it will flash on and off 

when first powered up. Once the Flashing LED 

stops, the REX is ready to be used.
