The DXS-32/EC is a battery powered stationary transmitter designed for use with Linear’s DXS and
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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/EC 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 cm 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 0.5 cm 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/EC 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.

IMPORTANT !!!
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. 
1 The radios are required to comply with local rules and regulations as radio devices. As such, they have limited transmitter
power and therefore limited range.
1 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. 
1 Changes or modifications to the device may void regulatory compliance. 
1 Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
