RF transmitter T16
1. Description
RF transmitter T16 is a multifunctional radio device used for transmitting security control panel event
messages via TRIKDIS radio networks.
The transmitter can send its own event messages and event messages received from security control
panels to the ARC (alarm receiving center) with the possibility to forward to the end user.
Features
Communication

Sends event messages to ARC.

RAS3, RAS2M, LARS1, LARS radio network protocols.

Output power from 1 W to 5 W.

Possibility to use external IP transmitter as main
communication channel.

Transmission of event messages using Contact ID 4+2 codes.

Use of security control panel account ID for multi-area
systems .
Configuration

Quick and easy installation.

Firmware updates

Two types of access levels (accounts), for the installer and
for the administrator.
Serial port, inputs and outputs

Universal serial port for connecting various security control
panels.

TIP/RING landline interface can accept messages from the
control panel in Contract ID ir 4+2 codes.

RS485 interface for IP transmitters and extension modules.

6 inputs, selectable types: NC, NO, EOL (2,2 kΩ).

1 output.
1.1 Description of operation
When connected to the terminals of a security control panel, the transmitter reads the signals from the
control panel and transforms them into messages that correspond with Contact ID protocol codes.
If the transmitter is configured to transmit in RAS-3 radio system encoding, the
Contact ID message will be
transmitted unchanged. If the transmitter is configured to transmit in other radio system encodings, the
messages will be converted to codes of that system. The conversion table is saved in the transmitter’s
memory and can be altered if needed. If TRIKDIS equipment is used for reception, messages transmitted
in any encoding are forwarded to the monitoring program in their precise meanings.
NC, NO or EOL=2,2 kΩ type eternal circuits can be connected to the transmitter’s IN terminals (inputs). If
the circuit’s state is either altered or restored to the initial state, the transmitter will send an event
message.
The transmitter sends the control panel’s messages using a pre-set radio frequency and encoding. The
same message can be repeated 1-10 times. It is possible to set the transmitter to send messages in two
