The RPB-200 RF Receiver

The RPB-200 can be used with the PXL-250W or the PXL-100 with an OB-7. It provides a range of up to 50 feet when
used in conjunction with a standard hard wire antenna and either mini or standard transmitter cards. There are no
switches or jumpers to set; simply install the enclosure, make the wiring connections, and the unit is ready for use.

NOTE: This document provides the instructions for connecting the RPB-200 to the PXL-250W Tiger Controller or the
PXL-100 Smart Controller. Please refer to the installation instructions provided by the RPB-200's manufacturer for

RPB–200: RF Receiver

2.0 Connections

The connection between the PXL controller and the RPB-200 is made through a 7 conductor, shielded, stranded, AWG
24 wire cable (such as Belden 9537 or a larger gauge).

Before running a cable to the RPB-200 you must drill a 1/4 inch diameter hole in the case of the RPB-200 to
accommodate the cable. After the cable has been connected to the RPB-200, the cable/hole can be sealed with a
silicone/RTV type sealer.

2.1 Connecting to the RPB-200

The cable connects to the terminal strip on the RF receiver board, pins 1 through 8 (excluding pins 3 and 6). The cable
shield is not connected at the RPB-200.

2.2 Connecting to the PXL-250W

For an "A" reader connection, the cable connects to TB5 pins 1 through 7 (excluding pin 2). For a "B" reader
connection, the cable connects to TB6 pins 1 through 7 (excluding pin 2).

3.0 Testing and Changing Receiver Range

3.1 Testing Receiver Range

You may want to test the receiver range.

1. Switch SW1 on the RPB–200 to the “ON” position (see Figure 2 on page 2).

2. Activate a transmitter card within range of the receiver.

3. If the receiver is functioning properly and the transmitter card has been activated within range, the yellow LED on
the receiver will flash once.

4. Repeat the process moving away from the receiver. When the yellow LED does not flash, you have moved outside
of the receiver’s range.

3.2 Changing Receiver Range

If the receiver range is set at a distance either too near or too far, you my change the distance.

1. To increase the receiver range distance, turn the potentiometer clockwise (see Figure 2 on page 2).

2. To decrease the receiver range distance, turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise (see Figure 2 on page 2).

3. Repeat steps 1–3 in Testing Receiver Range, until you have found the range that will work best for you.

NOTE: When you have the receiver range set at the distance you want, be sure to switch SW1 back to the OFF position.

Quick Start Guide

4.0 Installation Verification

If desired, following installation, receiver operation can be verified within the Doors program. Perform the following
steps to verify receiver operation.

1. Enter the Doors program.

2. Click on the Operate ⇒ Start Monitor pull-down menu option.

3. Click on the Monitor button.

4. Click on the View Window 1 button (its default definition is to show all events that occur).

5.0 Enrollment Procedure

Once installation is verified and the receiver range has been set, you may begin enrolling transmitter cards. Enrolling
transmitter cards is accomplished the same as enrolling cards (see Setup Cards
01821-002.

• When presenting to the reader for card enrollment, the receiver is used as the main reader. To present the
transmitter card for enrolling, activate the transmitter card within range of the receiver.

• The card number, to be used for block enrolling, may be found on the label of the transmitter card. An example of
where the information may be located on the transmitter card is shown in Figure 6.

wiring connections are incorrect.

2. Insufficient power is being
provided to the RPB–200.

3. The battery in the transmitter
card is weak or dead.

4. PXL–100 ONLY – JP9 on the
