Quantec QT412RXA Instructions

RECONFIGURING THE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL)
The QT423 Configurator allows the operation of a QT412 range transmitter to be tailored to suit
the requirements of a specific site. In particular it allows authorised engineers to:-
• Assign the level of call that will be triggered when the transmitter's A button is pressed
(available levels include standard call, help required, emergency and attack)
• Assign the level of call that will be triggered when the transmitter's B button is pressed.
• Assign the level of call that will be triggered when the transmitter's 'pull clip' is activated.
• Set the transmitter's A & B buttons so they only trigger a call when both are pressed at the same time.
• Turn the transmitter's on-board 'confidence' beeper on or off.
• Turn the transmitter's radio action off (for button A, B and/or the transmitter's pull clip)
• Set the transmitter's transmission time to run continuously or to automatically switch off after
a pre-determined time.
• Assign the transmitter an RF group ID address (1 to 16) to match the set up of any Quantec
radio receivers on the system and to prevent the inadvertent triggering of any neighbouring
receivers.
• Change the transmitter's mode of infrared transmission to 'pulsed' to suit Quantec infrared
receivers manufactured before 1/10/99 (see BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY ISSUES, below).
The QT423 Configurator comes with a programming CD (Windows 2000/XP compatible), a USB
connection lead (to connect the configurator to a PC) and a lead for connecting the
Configurator to a QT412 range transmitter for programming.

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
IN ITS SUPPLIED STATE, THIS TRANSMITTER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH QUANTEC INFRARED CALL
POINTS OR CEILING RECEIVERS MANUFACTURED BEFORE 1/10/99. IF YOU WISH TO USE THIS
TRANSMITTER TO TRIGGER SUCH DEVICES, IT MUST BE RECONFIGURED BY AN ENGINEER TO
TRANSMIT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF INFRARED SIGNAL USING A QT423 CONFIGURATOR.
THIS TRANSMITTER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OLD STYLE QT322RX (SPE0441/000) RADIO
RECEIVERS. IF YOU WISH TO USE THIS TRANSMITTER ON SITES USING THESE RADIO RECEIVERS
YOU MUST FIRST UPGRADE THE SYSTEM TO INCLUDE OUR NEW QT422RX RADIO RECEIVERS.
FOR FURTHER ADVICE PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR.

READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TRANSMITTER
IF YOU INTEND TO USE THIS TRANSMITTER WITH AN 800 SERIES CALL SYSTEM,
REFER TO THE SEPARATE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET, DOCUMENT NO. DNU4120002.
Quantec's QT412 transmitters have a typical infrared transmitting range of 10m (line of sight)
and a typical radio transmitting range of around 60m, dependent on physical conditions and
environmental factors.
Each transmitter has two infrared emitter
windows (one on each side to maximise
performance), two buttons (A & B) and a
retained 'pull clip'.
Depending on the model purchased,
pressing its buttons or activating its 'pull
clip' will generate the following levels of
call on compatible Quantec infrared call
points, infrared ceiling receivers and/or
radio receivers.
Model No. Button A
QT412RXA Attack Call
QT412RXCA Standard Call
Note that different levels of call can be generated if required. However, to do this the transmitter
must be reconfigured by an experienced engineer using a QT423 Configurator (see page 4 for
details). Note that these instructions explain how to use standard factory-supplied QT412RXA and
QT412RXCA transmitters only.
IMPORTANT:

• The transmitter must be charged for a period of 14 hours before it is
first used - see RECHARGING THE TRANSMITTER, page 3, for details.
