FAAC AM-RRR User Manual

INTRODUCTION

1. TYPICAL INSTALLATION

The AM-RRR remote radio receiver is designed for use with Linear’s AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, and AM3Plus access control systems. The AM-RRR functions as a remote device that extends the radio range control or supplies localized radio reception for the controller.

AM-RRR MOUNTED OUTSIDE BUILDING

Three antenna types can be used with this receiver. The cabinet mounted type “F” connector is for connection to the antenna. The local whip antenna (supplied) screws directly on to the receiver’s connector. The directional (EXA-2000) and omnidirectional (EXA-1000) remote antennas wire to the receiver’s antenna connector with type RG-59 cable.

2. OPEN CASE 3. LOCATE COMPONENTS 4. SET PBUS DEVICE ADDRESS

An on-board RADIO RANGE knob allows adjustment of the receiver’s gain. It can be set to limit the maximum radio range that the receiver can achieve. Two indicators display the receivers performance and operation. The two color red/green STATUS indicator lights red when the receiver is getting DC power and turns green when access is granted to a transmitter. The RADIO indicator lights when the receiver detects a radio signal. It can be used for trouble shooting and verifying system performance. Receiver test points are provided for listening to the incoming signals.

The AM-RRR remote radio receiver connects to the controller control unit through a six-wire cable. A rotary switch in the AM-RRR selects the PBUS device address for the receiver. Each PBUS device connected to the controller must be set to a different PBUS device address. Power is supplied to the receiver from the PBUS controller.

The receiver is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure and can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Gaskets and a weather-tight wiring strain relief seal the unit from the elements.

IMPORTANT !!! Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need in portable wireless signalling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

* For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations

as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

* A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by

radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings. * Changes or modiﬁ cations to the device may void FCC compliance. * Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected

interference or fault. * A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale

distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
