Description
The 1103 Series Universal Transmitter is a two-input
transmitter with wall and case tamper typically used for
commercial fire or burglary door and window applications.
The 1103 provides two internal magnetic reed switches and
an on-board terminal block to allow for external contact
wiring with an end-of-line resistor. Both sets of contacts,
internal and external, can be programmed to operate at the
same time allowing for two independent zones from one
transmitter. The 1103 features Disarm/Disable operation to
save battery life. Using the on-board LED the 1103 Series
Universal Transmitter provides built-in survey capability
to allow for single-person installations, eliminating the
requirement for an external survey kit. For added security, an internal case tamper switch and a wall
tamper switch are provided. The 1103E features 128-bit AES encryption.
Compatibility
All DMP XT Series and XR Series and all 1100 Series Wireless Receivers.
To enable encryption on 1135E models, Version 183 is required for XT and XR Series panels and Version 300 is
required for Wireless Receivers.
Included Components
• One 1103 Transmitter PCB mounted in a two-part housing (base and cover)
• One 3V lithium CR123A battery
• One magnet
• One Model 312 470K EOL Resistor
• Hardware pack
Programming the Transmitter in the Panel
Refer to the panel programming guide. If installing an 1103E, navigate to System Options. Select ALL or BOTH
to enable the use of wireless encryption. When prompted, enter an 8-digit passphrase. When installing an 1103,
navigate to Output Information. Enter an output number, output name, eight-digit serial number, supervision time,
and set the Trip with Panel Bell option to YES. Outputs operate with a 3 second response time when used with the
1103.
Note: When a receiver is installed, powered up, or the panel is reset, the supervision time for transmitters is reset.
If the receiver has been powered down for more than one hour, wireless transmitters may take up to an additional
hour to send a supervision message unless tripped, tampered, or powered up. This operation extends battery life for
transmitters. A missing message may display on the keypad until the transmitter sends a supervision message.
Using XT30/XT50 or XTL Series Panels
The 1103 has been designed primarily for use with the XR150/XR550 Series control panels. However, it can be used
with the XT30/XT50 or XTL Series panels as well. When used with those panels, the tamper indication is sent via
the internal contact zone only. If using the external contact, the internal contact must also be programmed in a
separate zone to provide tamper indication. In addition, the supplied magnet must be mounted next to the 1103
internal contact to restore the zone and allow the tamper switch to have priority. This issue does not exist when the
1103 is installed with the XR150/XR550 Series panels.
Selecting the Proper Location (LED Survey Operation)
The 1103 Transmitter provides a survey capability to allow one person to confirm transmitter communication
with the receiver while the cover is removed. The 1103 Transmitter PCB Red Survey LED turns on whenever data
is sent to the receiver then immediately turns off when the receiver acknowledgement is received. Pressing the
tamper switch is a convenient way to send data to the receiver to confirm operation. When the tamper switch is
pressed or released, the LED blinks once to indicate proper operation. When the transmitter does not receive an
acknowledgement from the receiver the LED remains on for about 8 seconds to let you know communication is
not established. Communication is also faulty when the LED flashes multiple times in quick succession. Relocate
the transmitter or receiver until the LED immediately turns off indicating the transmitter and receiver are
communicating properly. Proper communication between the transmitter and receiver is verified when for each press
