PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DXS-73 is a photoelectric smoke alarm with a built-in
transmitter designed for use with Linear’s DXS and DX Format
receivers. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud
local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the
built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its
companion receiver. The wireless signal will be repeated every
20 seconds as long as smoke is still present.
The digital DXS code format features over a million possible
codes. The DXS transmitters are precoded at the factory to
unique codes, so no fi eld coding is required. The DXS-73 can
send three different codes: alarm, test and low battery status.
For versatility, any transmitter can be programmed into any
receiver channel. Receivers must be programmed to the
transmitter’s code before system testing and operation.
Refer to the receiver’s instructions for details on programming.
The unit is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. The battery is
supplied with the transmitter and can power the unit for up to fi ve
years. Every hour, the DXS-73 will send a status transmission
to the receiver. The hourly signal updates the receiver to the
transmitter’s condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the
receiver can determine if a transmitter has a low battery. If the
battery voltage drops below a preset level the alarm will sound
low battery beeps and a low battery signal will be sent to the
receiver with status reports (some receivers can report low
battery status, others cannot).
