The RF3401E Point Transmitter is a magnetic and
dry contact wireless transmitter used for
monitoring doors, windows, or other dry contact
devices.
This device is equipped with an internal reed
contact for use with an external magnet assembly
and a cover/wall tamper switch. The point
transmitter accepts a dual EOL resistor
supervised dry contact input from an external
device.
Supervision is provided by transmitting a signal to
the receiver every 13 min. if there is no other
activity. All transmissions from the RF3401E send
battery status information.

• The maximum range of the point transmitter, in
open air, is approximately 300 m (984 ft). In
normal residential or commercial applications,
it is recommended the point transmitter be
kept within 100 m (328 in.) of the receiver to
which it is assigned.
• Mounting the point transmitter on metal
surfaces can reduce its RF range. Mounting the
point transmitter on ferrous metal (iron or
steel) surfaces can affect the operation of the
internal magnetic contact.
• Mount the point transmitter on the door/
window frame and the magnet assembly on the
moving portion. Mount the magnet assembly
within 15 mm (0.59 in.) of the point
transmitter and in an acceptable orientation as
shown in Figure 1.
