PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DXS-32 is a battery powered stationary transmitter designed for use with Linear’s DXS and DX
format receivers. This transmitter can be used in a variety of wireless remote control applications.
Triggering the transmitter with its built-in magnetic switch sends a digitally coded wireless signal to
its companion receiver.

The digital DXS code format features over a million possible codes. The DXS transmitters are
precoded at the factory to unique codes, so no field coding is required. The DXS-32 can send four
different codes: alarm, restore, low battery and status.

Receivers must be programmed to the transmitter’s code before system testing and operation. Refer
to the receiver’s instructions for details on programming.

In a typical installation, the magnet is mounted on a door or window and the transmitter is mounted
on the frame. When the magnet moves more than 1/2" away from the transmitter, an alarm signal is
sent. When the magnet returns next to the unit, a restore signal is sent. The magnet is adjustable
with four height positions. A 1/4" high magnet spacer is also supplied to snap on to the base of the
magnet.

The transmitter is powered from two 3-Volt #2032 lithium batteries with an expected battery life of
up to 4 years. Every hour, the DXS-32 will send a status transmission to the receiver. The hourly
signal updates the receiver to the transmitter’s condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the
receiver can determine if a transmitter has a low battery or has been removed from the system. DXS
format receivers can monitor status signals, DX format receivers cannot.

Normally, the transmitter sends an exit/entry delay transmission code. Cutting an internal jumper
selects an instant transmission code. Cutting this jumper doesn’t change the time of the actual
transmissions, but changes the code of the signal sent so the receiver can determine the transmitter’s
function.

FCC NOTE:

This device complies with FCC Part 15 and IC Canada Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill 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 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 these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
