LINEAR’S MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVERS
Linear manufactures several multi-channel receivers for
use in security systems and remote switching functions
requiring more than one wireless zone or output. Using one
multi-channel receiver instead of several single-channel
receivers enables the installer to cut installation costs and
improve system performance by eliminating RF
interference problems present in multiple-receiver
installations.
THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OUTPUTS
Linear’s two- and four-channel receivers are available in
three different types of output configurations: two
solid-state and one relay. Certain alarm control panels and
communicators require a positive voltage to tr igger. Ot her
controls, especially those with end-of-line (EOL) resistors,
can be triggered with a short-to-common output. All
controls and communicators can be triggered with a dry
contact relay output (normally open or normally closed).
“C” TYPE VOLTAGE OUTPUT
D-4C and D-4C/K
The output wires on the “C” type voltage output receivers
supply a positive trigger voltage to the connected device
when the receiver detects a properly coded digital RF
signal from a Linear transmitter. Each output channel wire
will switch from an open state to +9 volts DC when
activated. The voltage outputs are current limited to 10 mA
maximum at 9 VDC, 40 mA maximum into a short. See
Figure 1 for a hook-up example.
“D” TYPE SHORT-TO-COMMON OUTPUT
D-4D and D-4D/K
The outputs of a “D” type short-to-common receiver are
similar to a normally open switch that has one side
connected to common or circuit ground. When any receiver
channel is activated, the corresponding output wire will
switch from an open state to 0 volts (common or circuit
ground). The short-to-common outputs are current limited
to a maximum of 40 mA. This is enough current to trigger
most control panels with EOL resistors or drive a small
relay. If driving a relay, be sure to connect a clamping diode
across the relay coil. See Figure 2 for a hook-up exam ple.
NOTE: On all “C” and “D” type receivers, the common (-)
✶
of the receiver must be connected to the common (-) of the
control panel or communicator (see Figures 1 & 2).
“R” TYPE RELAY OUTPUT
D-2R, D-2R/K, D-4R AND D-4R/K
The outputs of the “R” type receivers are isolat ed dry relay
contacts. Dry contacts indicate that the switching contacts
are isolated from the receiver power supply. The receivers
provide normally open and normally closed contacts for
each channel. The current rating of the relay outputs is 1
amp at 32 volts maximum. Do not exceed thi s rating. See
Figure 3. for a hook-up example.
RECEIVER CODE SETTING
CAUTION: Transmitters and receivers should be re-coded
✶
by the installer prior to installation. Do not leave units set
to the factory code.
Linear’s two- and four-channel receivers contain an
eight-key digital coding switch recessed in the back cover
of each unit.

The switch keys are numbered 1-8 (see Figure 4). Keys
#1 and #2 are not used when coding the receiver. These
keys are not connected, and their position doesn’t matter.
To set a code, select a random pattern for keys 3-8. Set
the code keys with a pointed object other than a pencil or
pen. In the example shown in Figure 4, keys 4, 6 an d 7 are

To code any Linear single-channel transmitter to a two- or

to match keys 3 through 8 in the receiver. Keys one and two
in the transmitter determine which receiver channel will
activate. Refer to Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 for the settings of keys
one and two in the transmitter for selecting channels 1, 2, 3
and 4 respectively.

INSTALLATION
The receiver should be mounted on the wall above or next
to the control panel. Generally, the higher the receiver is
mounted above ground level, the better the radio range
should be.
Use Table 1 as a guide and follow these steps to connect
the receiver:
STEP 1 Connect receiver negative COMMON (-) to the
negative terminal on the 12-volt, 24-hour output
from the control panel.
STEP 2 Connect receiver positive (+) to the positive
terminal on the 12-volt, 24-hour output from the
control panel.
STEP 3 Connect the outputs to the zone input terminals
on the control panel (see Figures 1, 2, and 3).
STEP 4 If the control panel uses end-of-line resistors,
connect them across the receiver output for
normally open loops, or in series with the receiver
outputs for normally closed loops.

CHECKOUT AND TEST
After installing the receiver, the system should be tested.
To test the receiver, perform the following steps:
STEP 1 Apply power to the control panel. Be sure the
control panel is disarmed or in a “test ” mode.
STEP 2 Trigger each of the system’s transmitters, one at
a time. Receiver activation indicates that the
transmitters are operating properly and that the
digital codes are correctly matched. Verify that
the correct receiver channel and control panel
loop is violated.
STEP 3 With portable transmitters, operate them from
various locations. This will help to locate possible
null areas where structural steel, and/or certain
obstacles may interfere with transmission.
If the transmitter fails to activate the receiver, first check
the coding switches to see that the switch keys in the
transmitter and receiver are properly matched. Next, check
the battery and replace it if it is weak. Although transmitter
batteries should last for a year with normal use, it is good
practice to install new transmitter batteries every six
months.
✶
Electronic products are no better than the inspection an d
maintenance they receive over time. Therefore, Linear
recommends installers should instruct their customers to
test their equipment regularly, at least once a week.

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.
Receivers may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their
☞
operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a
☞
time.
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.
