CAUTION

1. Impact/Shock

Impact or Shock can cause severe damage or break the Air-wave RX.

2. Electric Devices

Use Air-wave RX at least 3ft (1m) away from electronic devices such as TVs, Radios, PCs,
Microwave ovens. This may cause the unit to malfunction.

3. Transmission range

Transmission range may decrease under the following conditions:

- Either transmission units or Air-wave RX installed on a metal surface.

- Presence of a steel door, reinforced concrete or other metal obstructions between
transmission units and Air-wave RX.

- Places near strong radio sources such as broadcast stations or substation.

4. Cleaning

Harsh cleaners such as paint removers or benzene may ruin the surface. Use a soft wet
cloth and mild soap to clean.

WARNING

1. Harsh environments

Using the Air-wave outdoors in severe conditions such as extreme temperatures,
rapid temperature change, high humidity, steam or fog may cause malfunction.

2. Tampering

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by OPTEX could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment
(see FCC note in section 13 COMPLIANCE of this manual).

Note: When you recycle this product, please disassemble product and recycle according to state law.

Each transmitter has a unique transmission code, which
can be automatically “learned” by the Air-wave RX. The
Air-wave RX’s zones must be taught to respond to the
appropriate transmitter. The zone characteristics can be
programmed as shown below.

Zone 1:
Zone 2:
Zone 3:
Zone 4:

Timed utility output
Timed utility output
Timed utility output
Continuous terminal output
(latches until Switch 2 is pressed to deactivate)

Activate “LEARN” Mode

A) The Air-wave RX

automatically starts in
“Learn” mode if no
transmitter code has been
programmed.

OR

B) Press and hold Switch 1

until the power indicator
starts to flash.

Teach the transmitter code to the receiver

Activate the transmitter you wish to teach the receiver.

The corresponding zone indicator flashes N times rapidly at intervals of 1 sec

according to the N number of transmitters, N=Maximum 3.

Operation Status

Receiver starts
in Zone 1.

Press Switch 2 to advance to the next zone.

Press Switch 2 to revert to
normal operation status.

Note:

• Revert to normal operation status before use.

• Verify that each transmitter has been learned by the receiver by triggering them.

• Each zone can accept a maximum of 3 transmitters, and the zone indicator shows the activated

transmitter based on the number of flashes.

(e.g. If transmitter 2 in zone 1 is activated, the zone 1 indicator flashes twice)

• A single transmitter cannot be learned by multiple zones.

• Turning off the devices, or losing power will not affect the transmitter or the Air-wave RX’s code memory.

Erasing Codes from the Air-wave RX’s Memory

1) Hold down switch 1 until the power indicator starts to flash.

2) Press Switch 2 until the appropriate zone indicator is lit.

3) Press Switch 1 to erase. The zone indicator will start to flash.
(Note: All programming in that particular zone will be erased.)

4) Press Switch 2 a few times until the power indicator stops flashing and remains lit.
Note: To erase all programming and revert to the factory default setting, turn on the

power while pressing and holding Switch 1.

1. The system is not

operating

Check the transmitter.

Does the status indicator light up when
you trigger the transmitter?

Check to see whether the battery is inserted correctly.
If the battery is old, replace it with a new one.

Is the status indicator of the transmitter flashing?

The battery is old. Replace the battery.

Check the receiver.

Is the power indicator of the Air-wave RX lit ?

Is the receiver on? Check the wiring

and connection.

Have all the transmitter codes have been
taught correctly?

Teach the transmitter codes correctly. The system will
not operate without this process.

Are there other high power appliances using the
same electrical power outlet?

Please connect the Air-wave RX to a different electrical

outlet.
The zone indicator of the Air-wave RX is on, but
nothing happens.

Check to see whether the terminal is properly

connected to other devices.

Are the zone indicators flashing slowly?

Follow directions in 8 LOW BATTERY INDICATION.

Is there anything blocking the

transmission?

Relocate the receiver and/or the Air-wave RX. Metal

objects can shorten the effective transmission

range.

2. The system is not operating correctly.

The Air-wave RX does not learn the transmitter
codes.

The Air-wave RX gets reception in the wrong zone.

Check whether the transmitter codes have already

been learned in a different zone. If so, erase the

memory and teach again.

Erase memory in the zone in which the Air-wave RX responds

and teach using the correct zone.
The Air-wave RX does not respond to some of

the transmitters.

You may have taught multiple transmitter codes in

the same zone. Teach the transmitter codes for which

no response is received using an empty zone.
A certain zone seem to malfunction.

This is probably the transmitter’s problem. Check the transmitter

that corresponds to that zone.
Before contacting the supplier!

Go through the setups again after turning on the

power while holding down switch 1.

• If the above solutions do not work, please contact your supplier for services.

12 COMPLIANCE

FCC ID : DC9RG-10U

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the OPTEX could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. To
comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating to
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B Digital Device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no grantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures.(1)Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. (2)Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.(3)Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.(4)Consult the dealer
or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IC : CAN4012104524A

Operation is subject to the following two conditions.(1)this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

Zone indicator on Air-wave RX and TX start slow flashing
whenever the corresponding transmitters have low battery.
Any operation cannot be done until one of operations below

1) Replace transmitter’s batteries.

2) Press switch 2.
Air-wave RX will not need to relearn transmitter after

replacing the batteries.
Note: Check low battery status at the corresponding
transmitter in case several units are learned in 1 channel.
