RX10 Ten-Zone Receiver Decoder
Section 2: System Operation
The RX10 can be used to remotely switch up to 10 different circuits. This can be achieved by independently
programming each zone with simple Close and Open latching commands. Zones can also be programmed
for momentary operation, and if required, a single command can be used to toggle the state of each zone. A
Reset function returns all zones to their initial state. This can be activated either over the air (by
transmitting the programmed command) or by operation of the front panel key switch. A Common relay
will latch when any zone is active. This can also be programmed to operate an internal sounder. The relay
can be used for connection to an external sounder or light providing a remote indication of system activity.
Both the configuration and uses of the RX10 are limited only by the user’s imagination, so here we will
provide just a few examples of how its functionality can be utilized.
Example 1
:
You want to use Zone 1 to switch on a light when you transmit a command. You then want to
switch the light off by transmitting a different command. To do this, connect your switch wires to the N/O
and Common terminals of Zone 1. In the RX10 Pro Configuration utility, click on the Chan 1 tab. In the
“Close” section, enable the tick box then enter the chosen RIC (or range of RICs) for switching the light on.
In the “Open” section, enable the tick box and enter your chosen RIC (or range of RICs) for switching the
light off (for a fuller explanation of programming the RX10, see Section 3).
When you transmit the “Close” RIC stored in Chan 1, the relay contacts will close, completing the circuit.
The Zone 1 LED on the main board and on the front panel will light. The Common relay will also operate
and the Common LED on the main board and front panel will also light. When you transmit the “Open”
RIC stored for Zone 1, the relay contacts will open, breaking the circuit. The Zone 1 LEDs will extinguish,
the Common relay contacts will open and the Common LEDs will extinguish.
Example 2
:
You want to use a single command on Zone 3 to switch a motor both On and Off for a
10-second period. To do this, connect your switch wires as in Example 1 if you require the motor to be in
the Off state when the RX10 is initially powered up or reset. If you require it to be ON in this state,
connect the wires to the N/C and Common terminals. In the RX10 Pro Configuration utility, click on the
Zone 3 tab, then set the “Tmax” value to 10 (seconds). Now enter your command RIC (or range of RICs) in
the “Toggle” section and enable the tick box. When you transmit the stored “Toggle” RIC, the motor will
run for 10 seconds, then stop. Transmit again to run the motor for a further 10 seconds. If you transmit the
RIC whilst the motor is running (i.e. during the set time period of 10 seconds), it will stop. Transmit again
to run the motor for a further 10-second period.
Example 3
:
You have a “supervised” system where the transmitter sends out test calls at timed intervals.
If the receiver fails to receive any test calls, you want to signal this by opening a pair of contacts. To do
this, in the RX10 Pro Configuration utility choose a zone (Chan) and set the Tmax value to a period greater
than your transmitter’s test call period. Enable the “Close” function and enter your test call RIC. Wire the
signal cables to the N/O and Common terminals of the selected Zone.
