IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need
in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be
observed.

✶ WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN LIFE SAFETY APPLICATIONS. FCC Rules allow

unlicensed high-power transmissions at or near the operating frequency of this product which may
interfere with, or even disable, normal operation of this radio device.

✶ For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 95

Radio Control 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 modifications to the device may void FCC compliance and user’s authority to operate equipment.

✶ 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.

DATA OUTPUT PRODUCED WHEN PRESSING XR-D TEST BUTTON

A 65432 0001 21A0HX

P = PACKET TYPE CHARACTER (A OR B). XT TRANSMITTERS SEND FOUR ROUNDS
OF DATA EACH ACTIVATION. PACKET TYPE "A" IS FIRST ROUND, PACKET TYPE "B"
IS FOR THE NEXT THREE ROUNDS.

S = FIVE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (00000 - 65535) THAT IS EQUAL TO THE BINARY
CODE SET ON THE TRANSMITTER'S SYSTEM CODE SWITCHES "A" & "B" . SYSTEM
CODE SWITCH "B", POSITION 8 IS THE LEAST SIGNIFICANT BINARY DIGIT, SWITCH
"A" POSITION 1 IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BINARY DIGIT.

C = FOUR BINARY DIGITS (0 OR 1) INDICATING TRANSMITTER CHANNEL
ACTIVATED. 0=NO ALARM, 1=ALARM. ORDERED CH4, CH3, CH2, CH1.

B = ONE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (0 - 3) EQUAL TO THE BANK NUMBER (1-4) SET IN
THE TRANSMITTER.

T = ONE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (0 - 2) DEFINING TRANSMITTER TYPE
(0 = XT-1, 1 = XT-4, 2 = XT-2H OR XT-4H IN MULTI-CHANNEL MODE).

A = ALARM/RESTORE CHARACTER (A OR R). RELEVANT FOR SINGLE-CHANNEL
TRANSMITTERS ONLY.

R = ONE-DIGIT BINARY DIGIT (0 OR 1) INDICATING THE STATE OF THE
TRANSMITTER'S AUTO-RESTORE SWITCH (0 = OFF, 1 = ON).

V = TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE CHARACTER (H OR L). NORMAL CONDITION = "H". IF
TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE IS BELOW 10.5 VDC CHARACTER = "L".

X = SPARE CHARACTER, NOT IMPLEMENTED AT THIS TIME.

E = END-OF-DATA. A CARRIAGE RETURN AND A LINE FEED ARE SENT.
