1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The WGAP864WRX2 remote receiver is a 433.92 MHz RF receiver that is designed to connect to a
WGAP864 alarm panel. The receiver connects to the keypad Bus (via D+ and D- terminals), permitting
the alarm panel to be armed and disarmed from remote transmitters. When remotes are learnt, they are
assigned to USER CODES stored in the alarm panel. This means that the alarm panel is able to log
ARM/DISARM events per user.
The remote receiver enables users of the alarm system to remotely operate essential functions of the
WGAP864 alarm panel by pushing buttons on remote transmitters.
The remote receiver gives the alarm system users the convenience of pressing a remote transmitter
button instead of going to the keypad; it gives each user the additional security of carrying their own
panic button.
The WGAP864 alarm panel functions, which can be operated via a remote receiver, are arm/disarm, stay
arm, and panic. The remote receiver also provides two relays that can be operated by remote
transmitters, which can be used to operate gates or lights.
1.2 Features
A maximum of 128 remotes in default mode.
Three LEDs for communication.
Support for Bus-wired operation.
Communicates with the alarm panel via a RS485 keypad Bus.
Onboard tamper switch.
The WGAP864 alarm panel supports up to 4 Remote Receivers
The action(s) for the remote transmitter buttons can be configured as any non-conflicting
combination of arm/disarm; stay arm, panic, relay1, relay2, or no action.
If none of the remote transmitter buttons are assigned as "Panic", then holding any button of a
known remote transmitter for 3 seconds or more will cause a "Panic" condition. If a remote
transmitter button is assigned to “Panic”, then pushing that button is the only way to cause
remote “Panic”.
Each remote receiver offers two remote transmitter controlled outputs which may operate
(within their ratings) lights or gates.
The remote receiver is NOT waterproof or dustproof. It should be protected from rain and
contaminants. It may be sealed with silicone or adhesive tape. Its components generate a bit of
heat, and their warmth will attract cockroaches. It should be cleaned once or twice a year,
preferably by a soft brush and compressed air.

1.3 Wiring and Configuration
NOTE:
The amber LED will be a steady on when it is connected to the Bus. If it is off, then there is a problem.
The green LED flashes when in standby mode.
1.4 Installation
Choose a location for the remote receiver:
as high as possible
accessible for installation and maintenance accessible
for WGAP864 wiring
accessible for wiring to controlled devices suitable for
antenna
1.
Straighten the antenna. It should not be kinked or coiled or rolled into a ball, and it should not lie
against metal. Hanging is best, but lying on wood is also fine.
Mount the remote receiver, using fasteners (woodscrews etc) through the tabs at each end of
2.
the base plate.
3.
Remove the remote receiver cover.
4.
The power and data terminals of the remote receiver should be connected to the
corresponding terminals of the alarm panel, or the nearest keypad or zone expander. To
avoid mistakes, use sheathed cable with 4 colour-coded cores, and connect identically at each
end:
12V RED
GND BLACK
Page 6
Section: 1
6
D+ WHITE
D- GREEN
(These colours are only a guideline).
Equipment to be remotely switched should be connected to the RELAY1 and RELAY2
5.
terminals of the remote receiver. The relay current ratings (see section 1.5) must not be
exceeded. If the remote receiver relays are configured as "secure", the effective terminals for
"NC" (Normally Closed) and "NO" (Normally Open) will be swapped.
Keep the remote receiver cover off during configuration, so that the DIP switches are accessible
6.
and the LEDs are visible.
7.
When configuration is complete and the remote receiver is working, replace the cover.
1.5 Electrical Specifications
Supply Voltage: 10 to 15 V
Current Consumption: 30mA
Relay Rating Contacts: 1 A @ 30 V
Minimum Receiver Sensitivity: ≤ -100 dBm
Receiver Frequency: 433.92 MHz
DC
DC
2. Panel Mode
These settings only apply to receivers being used with the WGAP864 alarm panel. All remotes follow
these settings; they cannot be different from one remote to the next.
2.1 Button Assignment
The functions that can be assigned to a button are: arm/disarm, stay, relay 1, and relay 2. Each button
can be assigned multiple functions, or no function. It cannot be assigned both arm/disarm and stay.
Different buttons can be assigned the same function.
The factory defaults for the buttons are as follows:
Button 1: Arm/Disarm
Button 2: no function
Page 7
Section: 2
7
Button 3: Stay Arm
Button 4: no function
NOTE:
When any button is held down for 3 seconds, the panel goes into panic mode. Pressing the arm/disarm
button does NOT cancel the panic. The panic needs to be cancelled at the keypad.
2.2 Management Button
The management button allows for the ability to assign more than one user per remote. You can also
have two users from two different partitions on the same remote. This is done by the remote receiver's
"Add Remote to Panel - Advanced" menu, by specifying the number of the desired button (0, 1, 2, 3, or
4). A button designated as such, will perform the arm/disarm function, with the configured User Code,
which must be different from the remote's default User Code.
EXAMPLE:
You have assigned your user code to button 1 to arm/disarm the alarm panel. You might want to add a
second user code to a button to arm/disarm. The second code might be the maid’s code. You will
then use the management button to add another user code to arm/disarm the system to button 2.
If remote receiver 1 assigns arm/disarm to button 1, and remote receiver 2 assigns Stay to button 1, a
remote is added to both remote receivers, and both remote receivers receive the signal when the
remote's button 1 is pushed, then one remote receiver will send an arm/disarm command while the
other sends a Stay command. If the commands go to different partitions, the result is confusing; if they
go to the same partition, the result is conflict.
It is therefore recommended that all remote receivers of a system have identical default button function
assignments.
NOTE:
If you choose 0 for your multi-user assignment, it will “default” the buttons on the remote that
have not already been given a multi-user assignment. What this means, is that it will basically
revert the remote back to how it looks on the picture on page 6.
0 can also be used to teach properties to buttons on a remote. These properties can then be
carried over to other remotes on the same receiver that are taught 0 as their multi user
assignment.
Whenever a management button is trained, then that button will ONLY arm/disarm for the code
assigned to it.
It will NOT do any of the following:
Send an immediate panic. (After 3 seconds, it will).
Stay arm.
Trigger any relays.
2.3 Description of Terms
Throughout the manual the use of the following terms is used to describe information that appears on the
LCD keypad during programming:
N – Remote Receiver Number
B – Button Number
R – Relay Number
RS – Relay State
Page 8
Section: 2
8
UUUU – User Code
RR – Remote Receiver Record Number
UUU – Number of Users
TTTT – Pulse Time
RT – Remote Receiver
These terms will be used in bold in the document so that they can stand out.
2.4 Number Assignment
Each remote receiver must be assigned a number to specify the destination of commands from the
panel.
Allowable remote receiver numbers are 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Each remote receiver must have a different number; multiple assignments of a remote receiver
number will cause system failure.
The remote receiver number is set by the remote receiver DIP switches:
1
2
3
4
All other DIP switch settings cause the remote receiver to wait with the red LED quick-flashing in
groups of three.
Until the DIP switch is changed to a valid number. The remote receiver then restarts
normally.

3. Troubleshooting
3.1 Factory Settings
The remote receiver leaves the factory with its memory empty.
The remote receiver restores its default configuration whenever it finds its memory empty at
startup.
Factory settings (empty memory) may be restored by setting all the DIP switches to "ON", then applying
(or re-applying) power. When this is done, the remote receiver clears its memory then waits with the red
LED quick-flashing in groups of three
until the DIPswitch is changed to a valid number. The Remote Receiver then restarts normally.

3.2 Warnings
All known remote transmitters send

NOTE:
If remote transmitters of various types are used on a system, a person operating someone else's
remote transmitter might get unexpected results. It is therefore recommended that all remote
transmitters used on a system be identical.
remote receivers in a system could be configured with different default button actions. But, it is
possible that two remote receivers will receive the same remote transmitter signal and send its action
to the panel, and if the remoter receivers' default button actions are different they may well conflict or
confuse the panel. It is therefore recommended that all remote receivers in any system be configured
with identical default button actions.

Section: 3
3.3 Registration
After successful startup, the amber LED lights up whenever the data Bus is available. If it is not lit,
and the panel is not in installer mode, then check both continuity and polarity of the data Bus wiring.
After startup, the DIP switches are ignored.
Upon completion of startup, including assignment of a valid remoter receiver number, the LEDs flash
RED group 2
and the remote receiver waits until the Bus is available, and then requests registration.
The delay before requesting registration depends on the remote receiver number, and traffic on the
Bus. It may vary from an instant to a minute or two, or even more if the panel is in installer mode.
RR RR RR RR RR RR RR RR
Successful registration is indicated by LEDs flashing GREEN (standby mode)
GGGG GGGG GGGG GGGG GGGG
3.4 Startup
When the remote receiver starts or restarts, it flashes its LEDs in a pattern which indicates the software
version. For each digit, the GREEN LED defines the digit display time, while the RED LED flashes "digit"
times. The decimal is indicated by both LEDs flashing quickly. For example, version 2.03 would be
displayed as:
GGGGGGGGGGGGG G G G G GGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
RRR RRR R R R R RRR RRR RRR
2 decimal 0 3
The DIP switch is debounced while the version is flashing, and is read when flashing is complete.
