LazerpointTM RF RX-91
Basic Receiver
Installation Instructions
Section 1
General Description
Camden Lazerpoint™ Radio Controls comprise the following
models:
- CM-TX-9 Wall switch ready transmitter
- CM-RX-91 Basic Receiver
- CM-RX-92 Full function (dual relay) Receiver.
This instruction manual covers the TX-9 and RX-91 models as
well as the plug-in daughterboard’s, and related accessories.
Camden Lazerpoint™ RF is the first system designed to
address the specific needs of the Automatic Door industry.
Unlike typical “garage door” RF, Camden’s Lazerpoint™
operates at 915 MHz frequency to “cut through” the noise
and clutter, and penetrate typical building materials to ensure
a reliable installation every time.
TX-9 transmitters utilize readily available AAA batteries, and
special circuitry to assure long life.
A proprietary piezo sounder is used to annunciate low battery,
battery level, and “stuck switch” conditions.
Two receiver models are offered – the basic single relay
RX-91, and the full function RX-92. The RX-92 offers 6
operating modes including dual independent channels,
latching, and bi-directional sequencing.
Both receivers can be fitted with plug-in daughterboard’s
ensuring compatibility with older RF technologies. Up to two
such boards may be installed at one time, simultaneously
allowing the receiver to work with three different frequencies
– another Camden exclusive.
Both receiver models feature convenient terminal strip
connections, visual signal strength indicators, and 40 code
memory with push-and-learn technology.
Section 2
Installation
Mounting
The TX-9 is designed to mount behind a switch in a wall-box,
post, or other suitable enclosure. Double sided tape is used
to attach the circuit board and battery holder securely to the
enclosure. Even though the circuit board is conformal coated,
care should be taken to ensure the transmitter does not
get wet.
The RX91 receiver is designed to mount inside the automatic
door header. Screw holes are located at each end of the
receiver case, or the included velcro may also be used to
hold it securely.
For Dimensional information refer to RX-91 Electrical and
Mechanical Drawing on Page 4.
Wiring
Note: Do not use the Lazerpoint RF system as a Safety
device!!. If safety devices are used, always wire them directly
to the operator control box.
Refer to the TX-9 Installation Drawing (supplied with
Transmitter) for the following connections:
Connect the transmitter wires to the activating switch (N.O.
momentary dry contacts). Insert 2 fresh AAA alkaline batteries
(provided) into the battery holder.
Press the switch and observe the red LED to ensure proper
transmission.
Test the transmitter by pressing and holding the switch for
5 seconds. The piezo speaker should sound 5 beeps,
meaning the batteries are at full capacity. This is the Battery
Gauge™ feature.
If the piezo beeps only 1 - 3 times, you should change the
batteries for fresh (new) ones.
Now press and hold the switch for 15 seconds. The piezo
should now make a distinctive hi-low sound.
This signal will sound for 6 seconds, then turn off for a minute,

then sound again. This is the “stuck switch indicator”
feature. Repeat for additional transmitters.
Refer to the RX-91 Wiring Diagram on Page 5, and wire the
receiver as follows:
Wire the device (electric lock / operator) to Relay 1 output terminal 3 is N.O. 4 is Common, and 5 is N.C.
Connect 12 or 24 Volt AC or DC to terminals 1 & 2 on the
receiver. (The terminals are not polarity sensitive).

Set-up Instructions
Step 1
Learning the Transmitter(s) to the Receiver
To learn the transmitter into the receiver, press the PB1
button using a small blunt object such as a small blade
screwdriver or similar. Within 10 seconds, press the switch
connected to a TX-9 transmitter. The Green LED Array will
flash once to confirm enrolment. Repeat with any additional
transmitters. Pressing the learned transmitter again will
signal the receiver that you are finished programming and
LED’s 1 & 2 will flash, in an alternating sequence. Pressing
the transmitter a third time will activate the relay and
corresponding LED, and also the device connected to the
relay contacts.
If you wait longer than the 10 second period, the receiver
will time out of Learn Mode and revert back to standby. The
LED will then flash to indicate the number of transmitters
learned into the receiver.
that the transmission is not being hindered by possible
interference.
To display signal strength, set Dip switch #4 ON. Activate
the transmitter, and observe the number of flashes of LED
1. One or two RED flashes indicates poor reception, and
it is suggested to move the transmitter or receiver until 3
to 5 GREEN flashes are observed. Sometimes moving the
transmitter only a few inches one way or another will make
a significant difference. Four or five flashes are ideal.
Step 4
Deleting Transmitters
Pressing and holding PB1 for 8 seconds will delete all
transmitters. The LED Array will flash rapidly for 4 seconds to
indicate erasure of the codes. Note that individual removal
of specific codes is not possible at this time.
Step 5
Adding Daughterboards
A unique feature of Camden’s Lazerpoint RF is the ability
to add one or two daughterboards, extending compatibility
to older technologies. This ability to work with additional
frequencies also allows the user to utilize hand-held
transmitters as well as wallswitch-ready transmitters.
The daughterboards may be factory or field installed. Please
see Drawing DRG-RX-DB (page 6) for detailed installation
instructions.
The daughterboards may be identified by the model number
and antenna colour, as shown in the chart below:
Step 2
Adjustments
The RX-91 has a hold timer (delay-on-release) of 1 –30
seconds To increase time, turn the pot clockwise, or for
minimum time, turn the pot counter-clockwise.
Always walk-test the installation and adjust the timer
to suit.
Step 3
Testing Signal Strength
By setting Dip Switch #4 to ON, you can display the signal
strength of the transmission from a TX-9 transmitter. The
benefit is the installer will be able to determine that the
transmitter or receiver is in the best possible location and
Model # Frequency Antenna
RX-DBB 300 MHz Blue
RX-DBO 318 MHz Orange
RX-DBR 390 MHz Red
RX-DBW 433 MHz White
Once installed, the learning of transmitters on above
frequencies is identical to the TX-9 transmitter. Also, the
40 code memory limit includes all transmitters, even those
learned in on the daughterboards.

Step 6
Using CM-RFCT Cable tool
Since the LED’s may be difficult to see once the RX-91 is
installed, a 33” long plug-in cable tool is available.
The CM-RFCT Cable Tool plugs into the opening on the
side of the receiver, and allows the installer to view LED’s
mounted on the free end. Pairs of LED’s mounted on both
sides of the cable increase visibility.
Display status is dependant on Dip switch 4 setting. Turn
OFF to view relay status, and turn ON to view the Signal
Strength.
When installation is complete, simply unplug the cable tool,
coil and save for another job.
