Rev. RVC-v8_2_en
This Operation Manual describes principles of functioning,
proper use, maintenance and service for the wireless receiver
Astra-RVC (Figure 1).
The manufacturer reserves the right to make improvements in
the design of the device without prior notice. The alterations
shall be included into a new edition of the Operation Manual.
List of abbreviations used in this Operation Manual
WAS – wireless alarm system Astra-R;
RVC – wireless receiver Astra-RVC;
TRC – wireless transmitter Astra-TRC, Astra-TRC version M
and/or Astra-TRC bracelet;
IP – indication panel Astra-931;
CP –Astra-712/Х Control Panel or similar.
1 Function
1.1 RVC (receiver) is a stationary device
designed for:
receiving signals from TRC via a radio
channel, decoding and identification of the
signal received,
generation of notifications by actuating a
built-in relay,
transmission of TRC number to the indi-
cation panel Astra-931 via serial interface.
1.2 The receiver registers up to 99 TRCs
and saves this information when powered
off.
1.3 The receiver is provided with one power relay.
1.4 The receiver is powered from the external redundant power
supply unit Astra-712/0 or similar one.
1.5 The manufacturer guarantees a minimum communication
range of 150m between the receiver and Astra-TRC (AstraTRC version M) in line of sight, and minimum 50 m between
the receiver and Astra-TRC bracelet in the area with dry
ground in the absence of strong radio interference, and objects
interfering with and reflecting radio waves. The communication
range can be cut down (to 30-60 m) inside concrete buildings
and in presence of radio interference.

4 Structure
RVC is designed as a unit consisting of a base, a removable
cover and an antenna. There is a printed circuit board with
radio elements inside the unit (Figure 2).
Figure 2
The printed circuit board contains a terminal block:
OUT is input/output of the serial interface;
ТМP is a pair of terminals connected to the button contacts
which are closed if the front cover of the receiver is closed and
opened when the cover is opened;
+ 12V, GND – are power supply terminals;
NO is a terminal connected to the normally-opened contact
relay;
NC is a terminal connected to the normally-closed contact
relay;
COM is a terminal connected to a common relay contact.
The printed circuit board contains a green and a red indicators
controlling RVC operation and indicating notifications.
5 Information Capacity
Green indicator:
blinks 1 time per 4 s., if the receiver functions properly;
is on during registration of a transmitter in the memory of
the receiver;
blinks 2 times per 1 s. within the period of 4 s – success-
ful registration;
blinks 2 times and switches to blinking 1 time per 4s. –
registration failed.
Red indicator indicates status of relay contacts:
is on when normally-opened (NO) relay contacts are
closed.
The interface line OUT transmits TRC numbers and informa-
tion about the receiver battery discharge.

unless otherwise stated.
7 Pre-Starting Procedure
7.1 After transportation in conditions differing from those of
operating, keep RVC unpacked under supposed operating
conditions for at least 2 hours.
7.2 Clearing Receiver Memory
Clear (erase) the receiver memory before registration of the
first transmitter.
1) Remove the front cover of the receiver (see 9.2).
2) Install jumpers on F1 and F2 plugs.
3) Power the receiver up.
The green indicator on the receiver will blink 1 time per 4 s.
4) Press and hold the button until the green indicator is off.
The receiver memory is clear.
5) Power the receiver down.
7.3 Registration of Transmitter in the Receiver Memory
Transmitters shall be registered one after another in any succession.
After successful registration the receiver shall “remember” a
unique serial number of the transmitter in its non-volatile memory and assign a reference sequential number following the
order of registration.
An illustrated manual describing registration of transmitters is
provided in Annex A.
7.3.1 Registration of first two transmitters
1) Remove the front cover of the receiver (see 9.2).
2) Install jumpers on F1 and F2 plugs.
3) Power the receiver up.
The green indicator on the receiver will blink 1 time per 4 s.,
the red indicator is off.
4) Briefly press the button on the receiver. The green indica-
tor will illuminate. The receiver will switch
to the registration mode for 30 s.
5) Press the button on the transmitter
which is to be registered (Figure 3). The
green indicator on the receiver will be off.
6) Press again the button on the trans-
mitter which is to be registered. (Figure 3).
The green indicator on the receiver will
be blinking 2 times per 1 second with-
in 4 seconds. It will indicate successful
registration.
The green indicator will blink 2 times and switch to
the standard mode (blink 1 time per 4 seconds). It will indicate
a failed registration.
Possible causes of failed registration:
– the transmitter has been earlier registered – if you press the
button on the transmitter the red indicator will illuminate on the
receiver;
– the registration procedure is wrong – repeat registration
steps till 7.3.1 or 7.3.2
7) Power the receiver down.
8) Remove jumpers from F1 and F2 plugs.
9) Close the receiver cover.
7.3.2 Registration of third and the following trans-
mitters
1) Remove the front cover of the receiver (see 9.2).
2) Install jumpers on F1 and F2 plugs.
3) Power the receiver up.
The green indicator on the receiver will blink 1 time per 4 s.,
the red indicator is off.
4) Briefly press the button on the receiver. The green indicator
will illuminate. The receiver will switch to the registration mode
for 30 s.
5) Press the button on one of the first two registered transmitters (Figure 3). The red receiver indicator will illuminate.
6) Immediately, press the button on the transmitter which is
to be registered (Figure 3). The green indicator on the receiver
will be off.
7) Press again the button on the transmitter which is to be
registered. The green indicator on the receiver will be blinking
2 times per 1 second within 4 seconds, and the red indicator
will be off. It will indicate successful registration.
The green indicator will blink 2 times and switch to the standard mode (blink 1 time per 4 seconds). It will indicate a failed
registration.
Possible causes of failed registration see in 7.3.1.
8) Power the receiver down.
9) Remove jumpers from F1 and F2 plugs.
10) Close the front cover of the receiver.
7.4 Programming of Relay Switching Time
Default setting – 2 s.

2 to 4 minutes
1) Remove the front cover of the receiver (see 9.2).
2) Remove jumper from the T plug, install jumpers on F1 and
F2 plugs.
3) Press the button on the receiver, and while holding it,
power the receiver up.
4) Release the button.
5) Wait during the required (programmed) time interval (from 2
s till 4 min) and install a jumper on T plug.
6) Power the receiver down.
7) Remove jumpers from F1 and F2 plugs.
8) Close the front cover of the receiver.

is low, the number will blink.
6) Power the receiver down.
WARNING! If you press the button on the transmitter more
than 15 times outside WAS coverage area, the synchronization between the receiver and the transmitter will be
disrupted, and no identification shall occur. To synchronize the equipment again, reenter the WAS coverage area
and press the button on the transmitter 2 times.
9 Installation
9.1 Select Installation Location
9.1.1 The receiver performs best for optimum coverage when
installed at a maximum height (minimum 2m).
9.1.2 Avoid running power supply cables and the interface line
of the receiver close to heavy duty power lines and high –
frequency cables.
9.1.3 Avoid the following locations for the receiver:
- massive metal constructions or closer than 1m from them;
- closer than 1 m from power mains and metal water or gas pipes
which may cause radio interference;
- lower than 1,5 m above the floor;
- inside metal constructions.
WARNING! Do not place the receiver at a distance less than
10 m from another wireless unit (including its antennas),
which is a source of interference for the receiver. Do not
place the receiver at a distance less than 5 m from the computer (system block and display), uninterruptible power
supply unit and other power equipment.
