ALARM SIGNALS
The sensor sends an alarm signal when it alarms and a restoral signal when the
alarm resets.
A supervision signal is sent every hour. The supervision message can be used
by compatible control panels to verify the correct operation of the sensor.
A Tamper alarm is sent by the TX-114R model. (The TX-103R does not send
Tamper).
PROGRAMMING TO A RECEIVER
The transmitter sends a radio learn message on power up, (when you connect
the battery). For programming to a Ness control panel or standalone receiver
refer to the manuals for those products.
BATTERY
A single 9V battery powers the sensor and the radio transmitter.
A low battery signal is sent when the battery is low and should be replaced.
The battery status is sent every hour along with the supervision message.
Compatible Ness receivers and control panels can display low battery and
supervisory alert warnings.

Both sensors have a selectable Prohibition Timer to conserve battery life.
When the Prohibition Timer is enabled, the sensor will not re-transmit for a set
period after an alarm.
