Paradox RX1 Reference And Installation Manual

RX1: Wireless Receiver
V1.0
Description
The RX1 Wireless Receiver
adds wireless receiving
capability to the E55 and SP
Series panels (V5.0 and
higher). Adding the RX1 to an
installation allows for the use
of REM1/RAC1 remotes as
well as wireless one-way zone
transmitters (SP Series only)
with the system.

Location
The location of the RX1 affects its performance. In order to ensure the best
possible signal reception, the following list of location criteria should be
respected:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect and absorb radio
frequency (RF) signals, as well as interference that may distort signals. Avoid
installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (e.g., neon lights,
computers), on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners,
or heating ducts since they may cause interference and reduce the module's
sensitivity.
• Mount the RX1 as high as possible.
• Avoid mounting the RX1 in the basement as the range of the module is
reduced when mounted below ground level. If it is absolutely necessary to
mount the module in the basement, mount the module as high and as close
to the underside of the first floor as possible.
Installation
Only one RX1 module can be connected to
an E55 or SP Series panel (V5.0 and higher).
To connect the RX1 to the control panel:
1. Straighten the RX1 antenna for maximum
reception.
2. Create a 4-wire bus connection to the
control panel, as shown.
3. If the current draw exceeds 150mA on
PGM1 or PGM2, use a relay.
To add a relay, connect the RX1's "R"
terminal to the relay's "RED" terminal.
Connect the PGM terminal (PGM1 or
PGM2) to the relay's BLK terminal.
