The Elite 16D is fully high level compatible with the new Auto-tune RX-16 radio receiver. The addition of this receiver
will add wireless capability to your system in the form or wireless PIR detectors, Wireless Radiokey transmitters and
wireless reed switch transmitters. The RX-16 auto-tune receiver connects to the same communications port as the
keypads and can be installed , either inside the cabinet, or if preferred, may be installed at a remote location.
The RX-16 receiver requires 4 cores and can successfully be run in 0.2mm unscreened cable over a distance of up
to 100metres. Like the keypads the RX-16 has 12v and 0v terminals for connection to the micro controlled 12v
supply and CLK and DATA terminals for connection to the communications bus. Incorrect connection of the RX-16
receiver will cause a communications bus re-boot which is seen at the keypads when they die and re-boot over and
over again.
The green LED fitted to the RX-16 receiver will indicate when the unit is in "Learn" mode (Flashing - see P501E)
or when it is receiving an actual radio transmission (On Steady)
The Elite 16D control communicator can also be fitted with either a 20 second or 90 second speech module. This
module stores either alarm event messages for speech dial monitoring and /or status messages for use with
Command Control. The Elite 16D Speech Module is supplied with all the required mounting hardware including
stand-offs and is installed directly onto the motherboard via the "EXPANSION" socket.
Installation procedure for the Speech Module is as follows.
1
Power-down the Elite fully before starting the installation procedure.
2
Install the 2 plastic pcb stand-offs
3
Carefully install the speech module in the EXPANSION socket and engage into the stand-offs
4
Power-up the Elite.
Before any programming on the communicator, including recording your speech messages, can begin the Enable
Communicator option at P260E MUST BE ON. If this option is off, you can not program or play-back any speech
messages.
Once you have enabled the communicator you can record your personalised speech messages into the module with
the speech dialler programmer. The Elite 16D Speech Module is fully compatible with the earlier Elite 8 zone speech
dialler programmer. The programmer plugs onto the socket immediately to the right of the speech module expansion
socket and must be installed with the Brown wire to the right. Some programmers are fitted with a polarisation pin on
the connection socket which will prevent incorrect insertion however, some earlier units are not so.
To record your messages once the programmer is installed, first press the reset button on the side of the speech
board, then hold the programmer about 10 cm away from the mouth and speak clearly at normal level into the
microphone while holding down the "REC" button. When you reach the end of your message release the REC
button. When recording your voice message, you must ensure that you clearly identify the origin of the call. You can
play the message back through the programmer by first pressing the reset button then by pressing the "PLAY" button
momentarily. Because the Elite 16D control communicator has the ability to store up to 8 alarm event messages,
you must store individual messages at what is known as recording slots within the speech module. Every time you
press and release the REC button of the programmer, you create an end of message marker. These markers are
used to define the recording slots within the speech module and are of varying length according to each message
duration.
To re-record a message you must first press the "RESET" button on the speech module to get back to recording slot
#1. Once you are at slot #1 you can re-record your messages in order as required.
NOTE: To start a recording at slot #1 or to play-back starting at slot #1, you must always press the reset button first.
When you have finished recording your alarm messages, unplug the programmer and the process is complete.
