1.0 Description
This reference guide will show you the way to install the necessary components
to add wireless RF capacity to your DS7400Xi Version 3+ control/communicator.
The DS7400Xi must have software revision 3.09 or higher to use a wireless
receiver.
2.0 Installation
2.1 Install the DS7430 or DS7436 Multiplex Interface
Module
• Install the DS7430 or DS7436 Multiplex module in accordance with the
installation instructions included with the module. Use caution to avoid flexing
the DS7400Xi printed circuit board during installation as it may damage the
board.
2.2 Install the RF3222 Receiver
2.2.1 Receiver Specifications
• Power Requirements: 12 VDC nominal, 30 mA
• Frequency: 304.00 mHz
• Operating Temperature: -4°F to +150°F (-20°C to + 65°C). For UL
Listed Installations, the operating
temperature is +32°F to +120°F (0°C to 49°C)
• Dimensions: 6.0” x 4.25” x 1.2” (W x L x D)
152mm x 108mm x 31mm (W x L x D)
• The receiver should be mounted in a central location in regard to all wireless
sensors, whenever possible. The receiver may be located up to 5000 ft. (1520
m) away from the control panel if using #18 AWG (1.0mm) quad cable (do
not use twisted pairs) and up to 2000 ft. if using #22 AWG (.8mm) quad
cable. Fire systems installed under NFPA 72 or UL Listed Fire systems require
the use of #18 AWG (1.0 mm) or larger wire. Adding additional multiplex
devices to the Mux Bus may reduce the maximum distance.
Although the wireless devices have a range of approximately
500 ft. (150 m) in open air, building materials can greatly reduce
that range. As a guideline, keep all remote devices within 100 ft.
(30 m) of the receiver.
• Leave at least 10 inches above the receiver for the antennas.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring,
including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable, mount the receiver on
metal with the antennas extending above the metal surface.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas where it may be exposed to moisture.
• Avoid excessive temperatures.
2.2.2 Hardware Installation
• Determine the mounting location of the receiver. Remember to leave at least
10 inches above the unit for the antennas.
• Remove the outer cover from the receiver and set it aside. If you wish to
change the settings for the wall tamper switch, remove the inner cover at
this time and and make the necessary changes (see Section 2.2.3). You will
not be able to remove the inner cover once the receiver is mounted to the
wall.
• Place the receiver base on the wall at the desired mounting
location and mark the two mounting holes.
• Route the wiring through the wiring channel in the base of the unit.
• Install anchors where studs are not present and secure the receiver base to
the wall with screws at the mounting hole locations.
• Insert an antenna into the outside terminal on two of the antenna terminal
blocks.
2.2.3 Receiver Jumper Settings
Changing jumper settings will require that the power to the
receiver to be removed and then reapplied for the changes to
take affect.
• Set the RF3222 Supervision Jumper as appropriate:
If a dedicated wireless fire device, such as the RF280 smoke
detector is installed as part of the system, the RF3222 receiver
will automatically default to a supervision time of 4 hours
regardless of the supervision jumper settings.
• Set the Receiver Address Jumper as required:
• Set the Wall Tamper Jumper as required.
- Remove the inside cover by pressing the cover latch.
DS7400Xi Version 3+ Wireless Reference Guide Page 2
- Set the wall tamper jumper.
For UL Certificated Installations, tamper switches must be enabled.
3.0 Wiring and Power Up
- Remove power from the control panel.
- Connect the DS7430 Multiplex Module terminals to the RF3222 Receiver
(or receivers if you are using two) terminals as shown below, using 4conductor, 22-gauge or larger wire. Shielded cable is not required and
do not use twisted pair wire. If you are using a DS7436 Multiplex Module,
you may connect the receiver to either multiplex bus. If using two receivers
and the DS7436 Multiplex Module, you may connect both to one multiplex
bus or one to each bus.
- Apply power to the control panel. The red LED on the receiver should
turn on.
4.0 Receiver LED Operation
The following describes the status of the receiver based on the LED condition.
LED on - The receiver is functioning normally.
LED off - Power failure has occurred or the receiver is not wired correctly.
LED turns off momentarily - The receiver acknowledged receiving an RF
signal from a remote RF device.
LED blinks rapidly - The receiver is being programmed with zone and
transmitter I.D.s from the DS7400Xi control panel. This condition will occur
upon initialization (power-up) of the system or when new zone information
has been programmed into the system. The rapid blink should last for less
than one minute.

7.0 Programming Wireless RF Devices
All Wireless RF devices (Keypads, Keyfobs, PIRs, Smoke Detectors and
Contact Points) must be programmed into the DS7400Xi panel in order to be
recognized.
Each wireless device will have a unique ID code attached to the device in the
form of a two part bar code sticker or a number set as shown below:
It is suggested that you keep one part of the sticker for your records and leave
the second part attached to the device.
7.1 Zone Programming
Any zones used by RF devices must be programmed as RF
zones before the wireless devices can be activated. See Section
5.3 Multiplex Zone Type for programming information.
To install a RF (Wireless) device perform the following:
• Program the control panel.
- Refer to section 11.2-11.4, Zone Programming in your DS7400Xi Version
3+ Reference Guide P/N 28995.
This section allows you to define the RF (Wireless) Zone’s address (zone
number), its type (always a single input zone, selection 0), which zone
or output function it will follow (1-15) and its partition (1-8). The Zone
Functions for RF zones must always be set for “Alarm on Short” or
“Alarm on Open”. DO NOT program the zone functions for “Trouble
on Short”.
For example:
Program zone 9 to be a single zone input device
that follows zone function 1 and is in partition 1.
Procedure:
Enter the programmer’s mode (Default code = 9876#0).
Enter zone address 0026.
Enter the data digits as [0] and [1] followed by the
[#] button.

• If there are no RF zones programmed into the system or if the zones have
not been “Added”, the display will read:
• If RF zones are programmed into the system and the sensors have been
“Added”, the display will show the first RF sensor available for testing:
• You may test the zone shown by pressing the # key or advance to another
zone by pressing the ”On” key. When a zone is selected you will be prompted
to activate the point. You may activate the point by creating an alarm or
tamper condition.
• The test values will now be displayed.
• The information displayed will be the Zone Number and the “P” or Packet
Count (when transmitting information the transmitter sends the same
information 4 or 8 times in “Packets” and the receiver must receive at least
1 of these packets. The number of packets sent depends on the device
sending the information and the type of information. The number of packets
does not reflect the actual strength of the signal). “Good” “marginal” or
“Relocate” will also appear depending on the relative signal strength. If the
signal is Good, the keypad will beep 8 times, 4 times for a Marginal signal
and only once for a Relocate signal. The “L” represents the relative signal
strength above the ambient noise level and is displayed as a value of 0-99.
The “A” represents the ambient noise level and is displayed as a value of 0-
99.
• Pressing the # key will allow you to select another zone. Pressing the “Off”
key exits the test mode.
7.3 Removing RF Zones
Removing RF zones is a two step process. First, the zone must
be removed from the receiver using the procedure below. After
the zone has been removed from the receiver you must then
remove the zone from its zone programming address (0026-
0145) by setting the appropriate zone programming address to
00.
From the Main Menu, select “Removing RF Zones” (selection 3).
• If no RF zones have been programmed or “Added” the following message
will be displayed:
• If there are RF zones that may be removed, the first available zone will be
displayed:
• You may select the zone displayed or advance to another zone by pressing
the “On” key. If the # key is selected at this time, the panel scans the
receiver to remove the ID for the specified sensor. When completed, the
display shows the following message:
• Pressing the # key at this time will present the next zone that can be removed.
Press the “Off” key to exit the Remove Zone mode.
7.4 RF Zone Troubles
RF Zone Troubles will only appear on the display after a user code followed by
[#] [8] [7] has been entered into the keypad. One or more of the following
messages will appear if there is a problem with a RF Zone:
• Missing Zone indicates that the sensor zone failed to receive a report from
the sensor during the supervisory period of 4 or 12 hours.
• Trouble Zone indicates that the RF sensor has determined that there is
some type of trouble with itself. Not all types of sensors have the capacity
to report troubles.
• Zone Trouble may indicate a shorted sensor zone.
• Tamper Zone indicates that the cover tamper has been violated on the
sensor
• Low Battery indicates that the sensor battery is low.
7.5 Receiver Trouble Displays
Receiver #1 refers to the receiver with the lower zone numbers.
Receiver #2 refers to the receiver with the upper zone numbers.
See Section 2.2.3 - Receiver Jumper Settings for additional
information.
The Keypad displays may show the following receiver troubles:
• RF Receiver Tamper Indicates that one of the receivers covers have been
removed or tampered with. Receiver #1 refers to the receiver with the lower
zone numbers.
• RF Receiver Jammed indicates that the receiver may be getting interference
from outside sources. Such types of interference may be caused by older
Cell Phones, multichannel cordless phones, some business/police/fire band
radios and “Walkie Talkies”. Receiver #1 refers to the receiver with the lower
zone numbers.
DS7400Xi Version 3+ Wireless Reference Guide Page 8
• RF Receiver Trouble indicates that the receiver has not received any
supervisory signals from any of the sensors during the supervision interval.
Check the receiver antennas and test all the sensors. If the sensor tests
are unsuccessful, then the problem is likely to be in the receiver. Receiver
#1 refers to the receiver with the lower zone numbers.
• RF Receiver Communications indicates that the receiver is not
communicating with the multiplex interface module at the control panel.
Check for open, shorted, reversed or miswired connections between the
multiplex interface module and the receiver. Be sure the receiver has +12
vdc power from the control panel. The multiplex module or the receiver may
also be at fault.
