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:

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.
