3.1 Where to install the RFR-2100 receiver and RFT-2000 transmitter?
The following should be considered Place the receiver as close as possible to the transmitter. Antenna must be straight upward Do not cover the unit as this may affect the signal Do not place the unit under or behind metal objects. Away from the electrical appliances such as TV, personal computer, microwave 3.2 Wiring the RFR-2100 receiver RFR-2100 is designed to work with Gas Maestro GSS-1201 Main Control Unit or Water Maestro Wss1201 Main Control Unit. It can be connected to one of the input by a standard 4-wire telephone cable as used for all Maestro systems, The RFR-2100 may be powered by any Maestro Main Control Unit by a simply connection through the cable. It can also be powered up by a 12V DC adapter through its own power jack Once the unit is powered up, the Master LED will turn green. The unit is now in normal operating mode, The cable length between the receiver and the Main Control Unit is $0 meter
(150 without receiver's own wall adapter. (This gives great flexibility when you place the receiver) 3.3 Wiring a RFT-2000 transmitter
[RFT-2000 transmitter is designed to work with all Maestro sensors, such as Gas Maestro CO sensor, gas detector, tilt sensor, Water Maestro water sensor. A four wires telephone cable is needed to connect the transmitter with sensor.
'RFT-2000 transmitter has three power options:
1) Powered by a 12V DC adapter. 2) Powered by the sensors (if connect to a CO detector) 3) Powered by a 9V battery inside the unit. Once the unit is powered up, you will se a flashing green LED. The unt isin normal operation mode. The cable length between the transmitter and sensor is depended on case by case, The following diagram is suggest wiring diagram, it also give you a rough idea the maximum cable length:
3.4 Learning a new transmitter In order for RFT-2000 transmitter to communicates with a RFR-2100 receiver, the receiver must first store the transmitter ID into its memory. The RFR-2100 can store up to 24 transmitters IDs. When you purchase the uni, the unit's memory is blank. When a unit with blank memory is powered up, there is no zone LED on. Only the Master LED is tum on. Four (4) steps on how to earn a new transmitter:
Step 1 By pressing the reset button ofthe RFR-2100 receiver while powering up, the receiver will go into LEARN MODE. The Master LED will ash red and green alternatively when the unit in the LEARN MODE, The unit will stay in LEARN MODE until it receive a new transmitter ID Step 2:
Power up the transmitter you want to learn. Send a test signal from that transmitter. Step 3 The receiver receives a test signal and stores the ID number in its memory. A zone LED is lit up showing this zone is now activated. The receiver master LLED then tums red. Step 4:
To confirm the communication has been established, you can:
Send a test signal from the transmitter, ee if the receiver goes into alarm mode. Send a reset signal from the transmitter, se ifthe receiver reverts back to the normal mode.
[Repeat these steps for a couple times. It helps you to determine whether a good signal reception has been established. This procedures also used to perform a manual checking. Step 5:
After you have made sure communication is satisfactory, stick & label shipped with the system onto that transmitter. The label has page number (I Tl TI) and zone number ( 1~8 ) on it. For example, when you install the first transmitter, stick a label marked 1-1 onto the transmitter. The unit can only learn one transmitter at atime. Ifyou want to learn more transmitters, repeat from step 1 to step 4 4.1 How to erase the memory Iffor any reason you want to erase the memory, you simpy press and hold the button on the RFR-2100 receiver for 10 seconds. The master LED wil start ash red then faster and faster. That means the unit isin Erase Mode. Ifyou keep pressing the button for another 10 seconds, the master LED turns green and the memory is erased. At any time the button is released, this procedure is cancelled. 42. After the receive activates an alarm mode 1) Confirm the alarm condition:
Check the receiver's master LED is red, one or more zone LED is also flashing. The connecting Main Control Unit isin alarm mode also, 2) Locate the problem The zone with the zone lasing isthe zone causing the alarm, Switch the pages; there may be more than one zone in alarm mode. 3) Check the transmitter:
fan alarm condition is stil presented, both transmitter and the connecting sensor(s) should stay in alarm mode. After the alarm condition is clear, pres the reset button. Transmitter sends a rest signal and goes back: to normal operation mode. 4) Reset the receiver:
Afterall the transmitters in alarm condition have been reset, you can
[ress the receiver-reset button to reset the receiver back to normal operation mode, You cannot reset the receiver if any transmitter is still n alarm mode. 43 After a receiver goes into trouble mode:
1) Locate the problem:
Once the receiver goes into the trouble mode, check the zone LED to find out which zone isin trouble mode. 2) Check the transmitter in trouble mode Check if the transmitter is powered on. Check if the transmitter LED is amble, That means the transmitter has a low battery. Change the battery and press the reset to send a reset signal, The receiver will clear the trouble after it receives this signal, Check ifthe transmitter is covered or blocked by something. If the transmitter appears normal (LED flashes green), it is likely the receiver has a poor signal reception from this sensor. You can confirm this by doing several manual checking. It could be because the transmitter is to far away from the receiver, or there are interference sources surrounding the unit. Move the transmitter loser to receiver. 4.4 How to remove a transmitter from the system?
Ifyou want to avoid the receiver goes into trouble mode because of the particular transmitter. You can unpower the receiver and power it up after
{you power up that particular transmitter. The receiver is not tracking that transmitter but it will accept the alarm signal and test signal from that transmiter. 4.5 Changing the battery You need to open the transmitter black plate in order to change the battery Change with a 9V alkaline battery.
