Section 2: RXL2-433 Set up and Wiring

This section describes how to set up and wire the RXL2-433 module.

2.1 Choose a Mounting location for the RXL2-433 module

The receiver should be placed in a location that is:

•Dry

• Close to the point of operation.

NOTE: Ensure that electrical wires do not run over the antenna when it is mounted.

2.2 Terminal Description

The RXL2-433 has 2 on-board relays which can be used in many different applications. They can be used to activate garage doors, security gates, Trigger X-10 devices etc.

2.3 Connecting to a Garage Door

The RXL2-433 can be mounted using the supplied screws. Make sure to mount the receiver with the antenna wire hanging freely towards the ground. Connect relay #1, NO and C terminals, to garage door push button #1 (The push button is typically labeled #1 and #2 at the motors terminal strip for most manufacturers). If you are connecting the RXL2-433 to a second garage door, connect a pair of wires from garage door #2’s push button OR motor to Relay #2. Please consult the garage door opener instructions for proper connection. Plug in the supplied AC/DC transformer. The RXL2-433 is defaulted to a ‘Momentary’ relay output, if you have changed the output to a different type you must reset the relay to ‘Momentary’ for the garage door to operate correctly. See Section “How to Program Relay #1 Output.”

2.4 Connecting to a Security Gate

Mount the RXL2-433 inside the gate enclosure as high as possible to ensure that water will not collect inside the receiver. Connect relay #1, NO and C terminals, to the Open/Close terminals on the gate motors terminal strip. Please consult the gate opener instructions for proper connection. The RXL2-433 is defaulted to a ‘Momentary’ relay output, if you have changed the output to a different type you must reset the relay to ‘Momentary’ for the gate to operate correctly. See Section “How to Program Relay #1 Out-put.”

2.5 Connecting to an X-10 Powerflash Module

When connecting an X-10 Powerflash module to the RXL2-433, different lights within or outside the home can be controlled, such as table lamps, or porch and driveway lights that illuminate the entry/exit path. This can be achieved by setting the RXL2-433 a number of various ways depending on desired operation.

• The wireless key can toggle a latched output, triggering the X-10 Powerflash module, providing direct control of lighting. This feature can be controlled by programming the RXL2-433 Relay # 1 or #2 to a ‘Latch’ type. See “How to Program Relay #1 Output.”

• The wireless key can turn on an output for 60 seconds lighting an entry pathway as a customer approached the home. This feature can be controlled by programming the RXL2-433 Relay #1 or #2 to ‘Timed’ type. See “How to Program Relay #1 Output.”

Section 3: Wireless Keys

This section describes how to enroll wireless keys. For more information on these keys, read the instruction sheet included with each key.

3.1 Enroll and Program Wireless Keys

For wireless keys to operate on a system, you need to enroll them You can enroll 10 buttons per relay for a maximum of 20 buttons using up to 20 different remotes to control either of the 2 on-board relays.

Enroll Wireless Keys to Relay #1

1. Remove the small door and upper case on the RXL2-433.

2. Ensure the unit is plugged into a 120VAC outlet to power the RXL2-433 using the supplied

transformer. You can plug in the adapter to any outlet for programming and then move it to its permanent location once complete. The RXL2-433 has EEPROM built in and will store any programmed information even if the unit is unplugged or moved in the future.

3. Locate the program button directly behind the power plug. Press and release ONE time

to learn buttons into Relay #1. After 2 seconds the LED will Flash ON and OFF slowly confirming it is ready to learn remote buttons.

4. Press the button of any DSC remote described in section 1.2 that you would like to control

Relay #1. Once a button is learned, the LED will flash quickly to confirm it had received and learned that button.

NOTE: The RXL2-433 will time out if it does not see any button presses within 10 seconds. If the unit times out complete steps 3-4 to add a button or key.

How to Program Relay #1 Output

Relay Output: Jumpers:

Momentary JP3 IN, JP4 IN Latched JP3 OUT, JP4 IN Timed (60 seconds) JP3 IN, JP4 OUT Validity (only good with 12 channel) JP3 OUT, JP4 OUT

*Validity output can only be used with WS4959 and will energize the relay for as long as the button on the remote is held. This is useful for operation when an unspecified energize time is necessary.

Enroll Wireless Keys to Relay #2

1. Remove the small door and upper case on the RXL2-433.

2. Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120VAC outlet to power the RXL2-433 using the supplied transformer. You can plug in the adapter to any plug for programming and then move it to its permanent location once complete. The RXL2-433 has EEPROM built in and will store any programmed information even if the unit is unplugged or moved in the future.

3. Locate the program button directly behind the power plug. Press and release TWICE to learn buttons into Relay #2. The LED will flash a double flash.

4. Press the button of any DSC remote described in section 1.2 that you would like to control Relay #2. Once a button is learned, the LED will flash quickly to confirm it had received and learned that button.

NOTE: The RXL2-433 will time out if no buttons are pressed within 10 seconds. If the unit times out, complete steps 3-4 to add a button or key.

How to Program Relay #2 Output

Relay Output: Jumpers:

Momentary JP1 IN, JP2 IN Latched JP1 OUT, JP2 IN Timed (60 seconds) JP1 IN, JP2 OUT Validity (only good with 12 channel) JP1 OUT, JP1 OUT

*Validity output can only be used with WS4959 and will energize the relay for as long as the button on the remote is held. This is useful for operation when an unspecified energize time is necessary.

3.2 Deleting Wireless Keys

By entering the DELETE mode within the RXL2-433 all remotes will be removed and subsequently must be re-enrolled before they will operate again. To enter DELETE mode, press and HOLD the program button on the receiver. After 10 seconds the LED will turn On/Off 5 times to indicate all remotes in the system have been deleted. Follow steps 3-4 in Section 3.1 to re-enroll desired remotes.

Section 4: Installation

4.1 Testing the Receiver

If range is poor, verify the antenna is not obstructed and that it is hanging freely towards the ground. If range is still unacceptable, move the receiver to a different location at least 24 inches away from its current location.

4.2 Mounting the Transformer

If connecting the transformer to an electrical outlet mounted on the ceiling of a garage, please use the supplied velcro to secure the body of the transformer to the ceiling. For good adhesion please ensure the surface of the ceiling and transformer are clean prior to attaching the velcro..

Section 5: Troubleshooting

1. I press the remote button and I do not hear a ‘click’ at the receiver.

Make sure the remote button that you want to operate with the RXL2-433 is enrolled properly. See section 3.1
