LINE-OF-SIGHT BETWEEN THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER ANTENNAS WILL PROVIDE THE BEST RANGE
ANTENNAS ARE MOUNTED VERTICALLY, ON HIGH POINTS OF BUILDINGS
TRANSMITTING THROUGH STRUCTURES, METAL AND GEOGRAPHIC OBSTACLES WILL REDUCE RADIO RANGE

SERIAL DATA OUTPUT SUPERVISED STATIONARY RECEIVER
For Use With Linear’s XR Series Xtended Range Transmitters
Installation Instructions
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Linear’s Xtended Range FM receivers and transmitters are designed for use in various wireless remote control applications. The Model XR-D serial data output receiver is used for specialty O.E.M. data acquisition and processing systems. When the Model XR-D receiver detects a signal from its companion transmitter(s), it will output 9600 baud ASCII serial data through its RS-232 style interface in “real-time” (no buffering) as the transmitted data is received.
The XR-D receiver’s serial data output contains all of the information that can be sent from any type of Linear’s Xtended Range transmitters. In a typical ins tallation, the receiver’s output terminals would be connected to a computer through a user supplied custom made cable. The computer would run user supplied software written to suit the needs of the application. It could display and log the transmitted unit number, channel number, bank number, alarm state, battery condition, status reports, and transmitter type. Alternately, the XR-D could be connected directly to a line printer for specialty or diagnostic purposes.
Power for the XR -D receiver can come from an external regulated 12 VDC power supply (Linear Model T-124DC) or from a 12-volt battery. A diode protects the unit from reverse power polarity. The XR-D draws about 30 mA current.
Two antennas (sold separately) are available for the XR-D. The Model ANT-1A is an 8-inch “rubber duck” antenna for short range applications (less than 1 mile). The ANT-1A requires a CON-180A (straight) connector to mate the antenna to the transmitter. For a right angle antenna, use the CON-180A plus the CON-90A.The Model ANT-2 is a 3-foot whip antenna for use in long range or difficult installations where more range from the XR-D is required. A common 9-foot 1/4 wave CB whip antenna can also be used with the XR-D for maximum range.
The receiver is housed in a rugged weather-resistant metal enclosure with a sturdy SO-239 antenna connector and a water-t ight wiring strain relief bushing. Two indicators are v isible through a window on the case. The green power indicator lights when the receiver has power. During reception, the red RF indicator lights. A two-position single-packet option jumper allows selection of one round of only new data for each transmission or all data sent for each transmission. Two

3. COMPONENT LOCATIONS 4. INSTALLATION TIPS 5. MOUNT RECEIVER CASE
If using the ANT-1A antenna: For best range mount the XT/XR unit to a metal plate w ith a minimum size of 12" x 12". The ANT-1A antenna should extend above the mounting plate and be free of obstructions. If the ANT-1A antenna cannot be mounted in the open, consider using an extension coaxial cable with PL-259 connectors to move the antenna’s location.
The XT/XR series of radios operate in the 27 MHz Citizens Band (CB) and may use any CB antennas or CB antenna ac cessories. Antennas, PL-259 extension ca bles and other adapters are available at Radio Shack® or other electronics stores.

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 WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN LIFE SAFETY APPLICATIONS. FCC Rules allow
unlicensed high-power transmissions at or near the operating frequency of this product which may interfere with, or even disable, normal operation of this radio device.
1 For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 95
Radio Control 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 FCC compliance and user’s authority to operate equipment. 1 Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault. 1 A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or
dealer, and these facts sh ould be communicated to the ult imate users.
