The 4618EUR-55, an optional 8-channel relay output card. There differences between the three variants of the 46RX are: • The 4618-50 power supply enclosure is empty, and there is no mains cable terminator. • The 4618-60 is fitted with a mains power supply, and mains cable terminator and fuse.
Inputs Inputs Radio The 4618-50 and 4618-60 contain a standard Scantronic radio receiver which connects to a BNC aerial socket mounted on top of the case. Each detector sends information to the receiver using an attached radio transmitter. The transmitter relays the information in the form of radio data packets, using an FM signal.
Outputs 4618 Outputs Front Panel Each member of the 46RX family uses the display panel shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. 46RX Family Display Panel The vertical column of eight LEDs indicates the status of each channel output. The symbols on the right of the panel have the following meanings:...
If you want to receive more than eight channels from transmitters, you can use 4619-50s as expansion units. The 4619-50 is physically similar to a 4618-50, except that it does not possess a radio receiver. Once connected, each 4619-50 behaves like an independent unit, and can be programmed separately from all the other units in the installation.
External Reset Connection 4618 External Reset Connection Figure 5. External Reset Connection. When the user starts the control panel exit timer the Detector Reset output removes the positive feed for six seconds. This clears the latched channels. Connecting the Sounder Figure 6.
For Systems Using a 4618-60: NOTE: When installing the equipment for the first time at a new site, for a 4618-60 connect the mains power first and then the battery. At subsequent mainte- nance, or re-installations at existing sites, connect the battery first and then the supply.

4618 Site Codes Site Codes You must set the 46RX family receiver and the transmitters to the same site code. The 46RX family receiver will only respond to signals from a transmitter set to the correct site code. For some modes the site code to set for the transmitters is shorter than the site code set on the 46RX family receiver.
