1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Model DXS-65 is a supervised water-resistant emergency alarm transmitter designed for use with Linear’s
PERS Consoles and can also be used with other Linear DX or DXS format receivers. This transmitter features

BY

a large, easy to fi nd, HELP button. An optional blank face aqua colored button is included for custom labeling
or alternate uses. Pressing the button activates the transmitter and sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its
companion receiver. To insure sending a complete signal, press the transmitter button for a minimum of

two seconds.

The transmitter can be wall mounted using the integral snap-on mounting bracket, or simply be placed on a table.
Four rubber “feet” are supplied for table-top use. The DXS-65 is factory set to a unique code, so no fi eld coding is
required. The transmitter can send a signal for up to 10 seconds per activation. The red operation indicator lights
when the transmitter is activated.

An optional supervisory status timer is included in the DXS-65. Status transmissions occur every two hours and
inform the receiver of the condition of the transmitter and its batteries. The factory setting has the status timer
disabled. The status timer can be enabled by pressing the HELP button continuously for fi ve seconds. The red
operation indicator will blink as the status timer is enabled. The status timer can be disabled by removing the
power from the transmitter. NOTE: If the status timer is required for the installation, be sure to enable it after

replacing the transmitter’s batteries.

Every two hours the transmitter tests for low batteries. This test takes place even if the status transmissions have
not been enabled. If the batteries test low, a low battery signal is sent to the receiver.

Each transmitter is sealed to provide water-resistance. The transmitter is powered by two 2032 “coin-cell” batteries
and must be disassembled to replace the batteries.

Before system testing and operation, each transmitter must be programmed into its receiver. Refer to the receiver’s
or Console’s instructions for details on programming transmitters into the system. When using a PERS or DVS

Console, be sure to program the receiver for the correct sensor type and supervision option using the
RA-2400 programming software. (Note: DVS Consoles default the DXS-65 as an arm/disarm transmitter.)

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in por table wireless
signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be obser ved.

• 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 modifi cations 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.
