DESCRIPTION

The Model 12A00 Supervised Wireless Receiver allows up to 64 unique wireless security
transmitters to report information to an OmniLT, Omni, or OmniPro automation controller. The
wireless transmitters replace wired door and window sensors, as well as wired smoke, motion, and
glassbreak detectors. These transmitters report status information to the 12A00 Receiver which, in
turn, processes the information and reports it to the controller.

The receiver is compatible with transmitters manufactured by Linear Corporation. It supports
Linear's Supervised S1, Megacode, and SX format transmitters.

COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTERS

HAI recommends the use of the SX format transmitters. These transmitters have an open-air range
of 3500 feet. The SX format features compressed encrypted data with error detection and
correction for increased range, reliability, and ease of installation. Each of the SX format
transmitters is factory programmed with one of over 16,000,000 I.D. codes.

The following are the most popular SX format transmitters that may be used:

T-90 Door/Window Transmitter - Used in the place of a wired magnetic switch, this stationary
sensor has a built-in magnetic switch with adjustable magnet, may be connected externally to
monitor other types of sensors, and is self-testing. It uses surface-mount technology and a
lithium battery with a life expectancy of over 5 years

TMD-90 Passive Infrared Motion Detector - Uses passive infrared heat detection to sense
motion

TGB-90 Glass Break Detector - Used to detect both audio emissions and shock vibrations of
breaking glass

TSD-90 Smoke Detector - Supervised photoelectric smoke detector

TX-91, TX-92, and TX-94 Hand-Held Transmitters - One, two, and four button portable
sensors

Although HAI recommends the use of SX series transmitters, 303.875 MHz S1 and Megacode
transmitters may also be used with the 12A00 Wireless Receiver.

Linear's DX series transmitters will not work with this receiver.

INSTALLATION

Install the receiver in a central area of the premises, as high above ground as practical. The
receiver should be at least 5 feet from the controller or any other electronic device. The open-air
range of SX format transmitters is 3500 feet. However, building construction as follows will
reduce the range:

Wood and drywall 10%
Concrete and brick 35%
Steel, reinforced concrete, metal lath: 90%

When the location of the receiver has been established, remove the cover and position the receiver
so that the antenna connector is at the top right. Mount the receiver, using supplied wall anchors
and screws, through two mounting holes (upper left and bottom right). Allow at least a 12-inch
clearance to mount the antenna. Place the cover on the receiver and install the antenna onto the
antenna connector.

Connect the receiver to the controller using 4 conductor 22 gauge or larger wire as follows:

3

OPERATION

The two operating modes of the receiver are "Run" and "Setup".

In Run mode, with the receiver connected to and communicating with the controller, the Mode
LED should blink once per second. The receiver monitors the status of each transmitter. If the
status condition of a transmitter changes, it is reported to the receiver and the information is
updated on the LED display.

The transmitter number flashes on the display whenever a report is received from a transmitter.
The display will continually display the status of any transmitters that are violated (not ready) or
that have trouble. The transmitter number flashes on the display followed by the status
condition(s).

LED DISPLAY INFORMATION ABOUT THE LED DISPLAY

1.1

Displays the number of the transmitter with a change in condition.

A L

Displays that the current transmitter is "NOT READY".

C O

Displays that the cover was removed from the current transmitter.

S F

Displays that the current transmitter has a supervision failure.

L O

Displays that the current transmitter has reported a battery low.

NOTE: If the receiver is not communicating with the controller, the Mode LED will blink four

times per second.

SET - The Set switch is used to increment or change the current selection.

MODE /ADVANCE - The Mode/Advance switch is used to enter Setup mode, advance to the next
Setup item, and to confirm a selection. It is also used to exit Setup mode.

LED DISPLAY - The LED DISPLAY is used to show the status of each transmitter and to ensure
proper setup.

MODE LED - In Run mode, the Mode LED is used to indicate communication status with the
controller. In Setup mode, the Mode LED is used to give helpful information when entering your
code, and indicates if a transmitter sends a restore code.

TYPE LED - In Setup mode, the TYPE LED is used to give information when entering your code,
and indicates if a transmitter is supervised.

SETUP MODE

The Setup Mode is used to configure the general operating parameters of the receiver, to program a
transmitter into the receiver, and to change the characteristics of a programmed transmitter. The
Mode LED does not blink in Setup mode.

To enter the Setup mode:

A. Press and hold the Mode/Advance switch for approximately two seconds.
B. Enter the four-digit code. "C" is shown on the left of the display and the digit for each code

number is shown on the right of the display.

C. The Set switch is used to increment the value of the digit.
D. The Mode/Advance switch is used to advance to the next digit of the code. The Mode and

Type LED’s are used to indicate which digit of the code is shown.

When no LED is lit, enter the first digit of the code. When the Type LED is lit, enter the second
digit. When the Mode LED is lit, enter the third digit. When both the Type and Mode LED’s are
lit, enter the fourth digit. The default code is 1111. If the correct code is entered, you will be
allowed to enter Setup mode. The receiver will return to Run mode if the wrong code is entered or
if the Mode/Advance switch is pressed for two seconds prior to entering all the digits.

Use the Set switch to increment the first digit of the code.

C 1

Use the Set switch to increment the second digit of the code.

C 1.

Use the Set switch to increment the third digit of the code.

C.1

Use the Set switch to increment the fourth digit of the code.

C.1.

After entering the code you are prompted to enter the receiver address. "A" is shown on the left of
the display and the current address is shown on the right. Pressing the Set switch changes the
address. The current address will be stored into memory when the Mode/Advance switch is
pressed. Setup mode is exited when the Mode/Advance switch is pressed for two seconds.

Next, you are prompted to enter the number of addresses. The letter "n" is shown on the left of the
display and the digit for the current number of addresses is shown on the right of the display.
Pressing the Set switch changes the number of addresses. The current number of addresses will be
stored into memory when the Mode/Advance switch is pressed. Setup mode is exited when the
Mode/Advance switch is pressed for two seconds.

The next four items allow you to change each digit of your security code. The Set switch is used to
increment the value of each digit. The Mode/Advance switch is used to enter each digit and
advance to the next.

Next, the programmed characteristics of each transmitter are displayed. The transmitter number is
shown in the LED Display. If no transmitter is programmed for an address, neither the Mode LED
nor the Type LED will be lit. If a transmitter is programmed, the Mode LED indicates whether the
transmitter sends restore transmissions and the Type LED shows whether the transmitter is
supervised.

The Mode LED is on if the transmitter sends restore transmissions, and off if it doesn't.

The Type LED is on steady if the transmitter is supervised, and blinks if it isn't.

The Set switch is used to change the characteristics of a programmed transmitter. Each press of the
Set switch cycles through each combination of supervised, sends restores, or no transmitter
programmed.

The Mode/Advance switch is used to change to the next transmitter address. Setup mode is exited
by pressing the Mode/Advance switch for two seconds.

TEACHING THE RECEIVER A TRANSMITTER ADDRESS

If no transmitter is programmed for an address, a new transmitter may be programmed into that
address by activating the desired transmitter. The activated transmitter will then be entered into
that address. The transmitter must be activated by pressing the test button or by causing a violation
transmission to be sent. Pressing one of the buttons on the transmitter activates the SX TX-9x
series transmitters. Each button that will be used must be programmed as a separate transmitter.
Supervisory restores, battery low, and tamper transmissions are not learned.

Based on the type of transmitter received, the receiver will try to set the supervisory and restore
characteristics appropriately for that type of transmitter. These can be changed as desired using the
Set switch.

SX TX-9x series hand-held transmitters are set to non-supervised, restoring. SX TMD-90 motion
detectors are set to supervise, non-restoring. All other SX transmitters are set to supervise,
restoring. All S1 transmitters are set to supervise, restoring. All Megacode Transmitters are set to
non-supervised, non-restoring.

Once a transmitter is programmed into an address, the transmitter address will briefly turn off
whenever a transmission from that transmitter is received. This can be used to verify that the
correct transmitter has been programmed and is operating reliably.

NOTE: The controller ignores the current status of each transmitter while the receiver is in Setup

mode.
