CONGRATULATIONS for selecting Linear’s DVS-1200
Security System. The DVS-1200 Console incorporates
many advanced and sophisticated features. The system
can be expanded and customized to fit the installation’s
specific needs.
The DVS-1200 Console and its accessories are designed
and manufactured by the oldest wireless security company
in North America. You can look ahead to many years of
reliable service with this Console and its accessories.
Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowners
and renters policies when a security system is installed.
Discount credits vary with different companies and
generally increase in savings with an increase in the level
of protection. Inform the user to ask their insurance agent
about savings available.
The DVS-1200 Console is UL Listed. For a UL smoke alarm
system, there must be at least one smoke detector
programmed into the Console to meet National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Rule 72 Chapter 2 and UL
217 requirements. Many insurance companies require you
to meet these requirements to qualify for a discount. Only
use the Model DXS-71 or DXS-72 smoke detectors with
this Console for a UL smoke alarm system.
NOTE: Some cities and municipalities may require an
alarm system permit. Check with your local authorities
before installing this system.
In this manual, the bullets preceding the text help to define
the step. For example:
◆ This symbol indicates a feature.
This symbol indicates an action to perform
and provides a box to check when the action
is completed.
❇ This symbol is for lit indications or system
sounds.
✍
This symbol is for important notes.
UL Listed as a Single Station Smoke
Detector Accessory, also suitable as a
Residential Security System Receiver.
The DVS-1200 Console is the heart of the system. It
monitors all of the system’s wireless sensors and controls
the alarm sirens.
The Console constantly monitors the condition of the
system’s sensors, displaying which protected doors and
windows are open or closed. If an alarm occurs, the Console
displays which sensor(s) caused it. When a sensor has a
low battery, the Console displays which sensor needs a new
battery. Sensors that send hourly status transmissions keep
the Console informed of their operating condition.
Up to eight different custom user codes can be used to
operate the system. For security, a user code must be
entered to disarm (turn off) the system. The system can be
armed (turned on) by entering a user code, or with the
unique “Quick Arm” feature. The five restricted user codes
and the special page alert user code can only arm and
disarm the system, no programming changes are allowed.
The master user code is allowed to program the Console,
and a duress code can be selected for emergency
disarming of the system with a duress report to the Central
Station. The page alert user code can dial a pager number
to inform the pager wearer when the Console is disarmed.
The Console’s memory will retain the user codes, the
system’s mode, and all of the system’s programming, even
during a total power loss. An optional backup battery can
be installed to power the system during short power
failures.
The built-in digital communicator connects the Console to
a Central Alarm Monitoring Station through the telephone.
With a monitored system, the central station can dispatch
authorities in case of burglary, fire or other emergency. The
central station can also call family, friends, neighbors, or
anyone else designated on a custom call list.
Each sensor can report directly to the Central Station using
the digital communicator’s Point ID feature. If a sensor
triggers an alarm or experiences supervisory trouble, a
unique report code can be sent for immediate identification
of the event.
The optional Models VB-2 or VB-3 digital voice synthesis
modules can be installed in the Console. The VB-2 module

local human voice prompts from the Console’s speaker,
and voice prompted remote system control using in-house
or off-site pushbutton telephones. The economy Model
VB-3 is the same as the VB-2 without 2-way Central Station
audio capability.
The Console has 24-hour capabilities that are always ready
to operate, even when the Console is disarmed. They can
be triggered by buttons on the Console, the Wireless
Keypad, portable remote controls and smoke detectors.
Pressing the [
EMERGENCY
] or [
] button for two seconds
FIRE
will cause an immediate siren and call the central station.
IMPORTANT: For personal emergency use only. Not for
use as a UL Listed Medical Alert System.
The Console’s Environmental Zone is a 24-hour zone that
can be triggered with sensors connected to devices such
as water flow detectors, over/under temperature sensors,
flood sensors, toxic gas detectors, etc. The Environmental
Zone activates the chime annunciator without sounding the
siren. The Environmental Zone does not send
communicator reports.
An Automation Output in the Console provides an easy way
to connect external devices to the Console. The output is
fully programmable to activate on a variety of conditions,
such as when the system is armed, during alarms, and
during exit/entry delays. The Automation Output can
connect to lighting control modules, relays, noisemakers,
and indicators. The Console’s and wireless keypad’s (A)
key and transmitters can control the Automation Output.
The Console can be programmed locally using its own
keypad, or remotely, using Linear’s Model RA-2400
Remote Access software program. The RA-2400
upload/download program is a Windows application that
runs on a personal computer and communicates with the
Console through a modem, connected directly to the
Console, or through the telephone line.
A total of 12 sensors of the types listed on the next page
can be used with each DVS-1200 Console. Each burglary
sensor can trigger the siren (and report to the Central
Station) once per arming cycle. 24-hour sensors have
unlimited alarm and reporting capacity.

DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS
The DXS-31 sensors monitor doors and windows. They send
radio signals to the Console. One type of signal is sent when
the door or window is opened, and a different type of signal is
sent when the door or window is closed. If the Console is armed,
a sensor can trigger the Console’s burglary siren when its door
or window is opened. The DXS-31 is supervised, it sends hourly
status reports and monitors its battery condition.
DXS-31 †
PANIC BUTTONS
The DXT-21 and DXT-23 transmitters can be used as portable
“panic buttons”. Pressing the front or top button o n the DXT-21
at any time will trigger the emergency siren. Pressing both
front buttons simultaneously on the DXT-23 at any time
will trigger the emergency siren. Both transmitters can be
programmed to activate various other Console zones.
These transmitters are not supervised.
WIRELESS KEYPAD
The DXS-10 wireless keypad is used to control the Console
remotely. It can be placed in a convenient spot so the user
doesn’t have to go to the Console to control the system. The
wireless keypad can also trigger the emergency or fire siren and
actuate the Automation Output. Pressing the [∗] key will cause
the Console to sound beeps corresponding to the current
operating mode. The DXS-10 is supervised, it sends hourly
status reports and monitors its battery condition. IMPORTANT:
For personal emergency use only. Not for use as a UL Listed
Medical Alert System.
DXS-10 †
SMOKE DETECTORS
The DXS-71 and DXS-72 are high quality smoke detectors with
built-in radio transmitters. As soon as smoke is detected, the
unit will sound its local noisemaker. Then, 20 seconds after the
local noisemaker sounds, the transmitter sends an alarm signal
to the Console. The alarm signal will be repeated every 20
seconds as long as smoke is still present. A restoral signal will
be sent when the smoke detection chamber clears. The DXS-71
and DXS-72 are supervised, they send hourly status reports
and monitor their battery condition.
NOTE: A Model DXS-71 or DXS-72 Smoke Detector is
☞
required to create a UL Listed smoke alarm system. See
Page 22 for details on adding a smoke detector sensor to
the system.
DXT-21 ‡
DXT-23 ‡
BILL TRAP
The DXS-81 bill trap can be used with the Console in
non-UL small commercial hold-up installations. The unit is
concealed in a cash drawer under a stack of currency, with
a single “bait” bill secured in its money clip. During a
hold-up, the cashier removes the stack of currency along
with the “bait” bill. When a “bait” bill is removed, the
transmitter sends a signal to the Console. Four additional
signals are sent within the first minute after the “bait” bill is
removed. When the “bait” bill is replaced, a restore signal
is sent. The DXS-81 is supervised, it can send hourly status
reports (optional) and monitors its battery condition.
DXS-81 ‡
PASSIVE INFRARED MOTION DETECTOR
The DXS-54 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion detector with
a built-in radio transmitter. The PIR detects motion in its
detection pattern by measuring the infrared emission levels
of objects that it “sees”. If the infrared levels change
quickly, as when a person moves across the detection
pattern, the PIR will recognize the change as an intrusion
and send an alarm signal to the Console. An alarm will be
triggered if the Console is in the Away Mode. The DXS-54
is supervised, it sends hourly status reports and monitors
its battery condition.
DXS-71 †
DXS-72 †
REMOTE CONTROLS
The DXT-41, DXT-61 single-button and DXT-42 two-button
remote controls can be used to remotely arm and disarm the
Console. The DXT-42’s right button controls the Console’s
automation output. Pressing both buttons simultaneously on
the DXT-23 will trigger the emergency siren. Each transmitter
can be programmed to activate various other Console zones.
These transmitters are not supervised.

door, etc.) a jumper can be changed in the sensor
to select instant response. The jumper should be
changed before learning the sensor so the
Console will program the sensor to the proper
zone. See the “Basic Sensor Installation” section
of this manual for details on changing the jumper.
For DXS-31 door/window sensors, press the
case or move the magnet away from the side
of the sensor.

for details on sending a test transmission).
For DXT-61, DXT-21 & DF-41 single-button
remotes, simply press the unit’s button. The
unit will function as an arm/disarm remote.
✍
NOTE: After the Console “learns” the transmitter,
single-button remotes can easily be
re-programmed as “panic buttons” or home
automation controllers. Refer to the “Customizing
the System” section of this manual.
For DXT-23 & DF-42 two-button remotes:
Learn the transmitter by pressing the left
button. The remote will arm/disarm the Console
with the left button and activate/deactivate the
home automation output with the right button.
Labels are provided with the DF-42 for
identifying the buttons.
✍

two-button remotes can easily be re-programmed
to have the left button arm the Console and the
right button disarm the Console. Refer to the
“Advanced Programming” section of this manual.
❇ A single “bing” tone will sound and the sensor
status indicator will stay lit when the sensor is
learned by the Console.
❇ A double “buzz” tone will sound if there is
already another sensor programmed to that
sensor number.

7.BASIC SENSOR INSTALLATION
◆ Each accessory sensor is packaged with its
own set of installation instructions specific to
the model of sensor.
◆ Refer to the sensor’s instructions for details on
installing, operating, and testing of the sensor.
◆ Following are basic instructions for installing
two popular DVS-1200 accessories: The
Model DXS-10 Wireless Remote Keypad and
the Model DXS-31 Door/Window Transmitter.
DXS-10 WIRELESS KEYPAD
◆ The DXS-10 is used to remotely command the
Console.
◆ The keypad can be simply set on a table or
mounted to a flat surface.
TABLE-TOP USE
◆ Four anti-mar pads are provided as scratch
deterrent “feet” for the keypad.
✍
NOTE: Do not use the adhesive “feet” if the
keypad is going to be wall mounted.
Peel off the adhesive tape backing on the
“feet” and stick them to the back of the
keypad.
◆ The wireless keypad can be used as a
portable keypad. Because of the hourly
supervisory transmissions, if the unit is taken
out of range from the Console for more than
eight hours, the Console will indicate “radio
trouble” for the keypad. The keypad’s sensor
number can be programmed for
“non-supervised” if required. See the
“Advanced Programming” section of this
manual.
WALL MOUNT USE
◆ The wireless keypad can be wall mounted in a
convenient location.
Open the keypad by inserting a small
screwdriver in one of the top slots in the
keypad case. Gently twist the screwdriver until
the case pops open.
Attach the rear case to the wall using the two
screws provided.
✍
NOTE: For best signal transmission, the keypad
should be mounted at least three feet above
ground level.
Hook the top edge of the keypad case
together and snap the keypad onto the rear
case.
✍
WARNING: The wireless keypad is designed for
indoor use only.

DXS-31 DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS
◆ The DXS-31 sensors can be used to monitor
doors, windows, cabinets, crawl space doors,
gates, freezer doors, and many other moving
objects that could be used for intrusion or
need to be monitored.
◆ A built-in magnetic switch triggers the sensor
when its magnet (mounted on the moving part
or the door or window) moves away from the
sensor.
◆ External normally closed switches can be
wired to the sensor for remote triggering.
◆ The door/window sensor can connect directly
to a glass break detector.
SET SENSOR JUMPER
◆ A jumper inside the door/window sensor
selects instant or delayed response.
If the sensor is going to be used on the
primary entry/exit door make sure that the
jumper is in the DELAY position.
If the sensor is going to be used on a window
or a door that is not going to be used to enter
and exit the premises, set the jumper to the
INSTANT position.
APPLY DOUBLE-STICK TAPE
Apply double-stick tape (supplied) to back of
sensors and magnets.
◆ Screws are also provided to mount sensors
and magnets.
◆ Screws are preferred over the double-stick
tape in permanent installations.
✍
UL NOTE: Double-stick tape is not allowed in UL
installations.
ATTACH SENSORS AND MAGNETS
On doors, mount sensor to door frame and
magnet to door.
NOTE: Magnet must line up with mark on sensor
✍
case both horizontally & vertically.
Allow a maximum of 1/2" between magnet
and sensor when door/window is closed.
Snap sensor onto mounting plate.
On windows, mount sensor to window frame
and magnet to window.
Snap sensor onto mounting plate.
The magnet height is adjustable and an
optional magnet spacer is provided for uneven
surfaces.

10. SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS
◆ The DVS-1200 Console is a self-monitoring
supervised wireless system.
◆ If the Console detects a problem with any of the
supervised system sensors or backup battery, it
will display the appropriate trouble indication
and, if monitored, report the trouble to the
Central Station through the communicator
(depending on communicator programming).
CONSOLE LOW BATTERY
◆ The Console constantly charges and monitors
the optional backup battery (if installed).
◆ If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the
Console’s POWER light will indicate the trouble.
❇ The POWER indicator normally glows when
AC power is on.
❇ With a charged backup battery installed, if the

CALL LIMITER
◆ The factory setting for the call limiter is OFF.
This allows the communicator to report
burglary alarms, once for each sensor, as
many times as they are triggered.
◆ Optionally, the Console can be programmed
to only allow five burglary reports total per
arming period.
✍
NOTE: Sensors programmed to 24-hour zones
(Emergency, Panic, Fire) always send a Central
Station Report and always sound the local siren
regardless of the Call Limiter setting.
DIALING DELAY
◆ The factory setting will cause the
communicator to dial the Central Station
instantly when an alarm or supervisory event
occurs.
◆ Alternately, the communicator can be
programmed to wait 30 seconds before
dialing. This gives the user time to disarm the
system and prevent communications in the
case of a subscriber generated false alarm.
DIALING METHOD
The factory setting causes the communicator
◆
to dial using DTMF (dual-tone
multi-frequency) tone dialing.
◆ Alternately, the communicator can be
programmed to use pulse (rotary) dialing. Use
this option if the telephone line in the
installation does not support tone dialing.

cycles (50 call attempts) can occur before the
communicator stops calling.
◆ Alternately, the communicator can be
programmed to report supervisory events (low
batteries, radio trouble, AC failure, etc.) to the
supervisory telephone number instead of the
primary or secondary telephone numbers.
✍
CAUTION: If the page alert user code feature is
going to be used, the supervisory number is
reserved for the pager number. DO NOT SET THE
CALL ROUTING OPTION TO “1”.
◆ To disable supervisory reports, set call routing
option to “1” and remove the supervisory
telephone number or in 4 by 2 set the report to “0”.

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an
important need in portable wireless signaling. 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 modifications 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 th ese facts should
be communicated to the ultimate users.
FCC NOTICE
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception. It has been type tested and found to com ply with the limits for a
Class B computing device in accordance with Part 15 of FCC Rules, which
are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
✶
Relocate the Console away from the TV/radio receiver.
✶
Plug the Console into a different wall outlet so that the Console is on a
different branch circuit.
✶
Re-orient the TV/radio antenna.
✶
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
FCC TELEPHONE RULES AND REGULATIONS
The FCC requires that this alarm dialer system not make more than 15
repetitive dialing attempts to a single telephone number. There are no
limitations when the calls are made sequentially to two or m ore alternative
numbers, or when these calls are spaced 10 minutes apart to a single number.
The FCC Rules and Regulations do not specify the re-attempt period as this
can vary for specific applications. When setting this period, take into
consideration local, interstate, foreign and special network call completion
characteristics, network processing time, a sufficient number of rings and
busy/don’t answer modes.
FIRE EVACUATION PLANNING
For systems that include fire protection, UL requires that the following
information be available to the users of the system.
