elmes electronic CTX3 Wireless Open Close Monitor Magnet Detectors
Detectors with built-in reed contact and external switching magnet feature low power radio transmitter and are used in wireless alarm & security applications. Detectors signal opening and, if selected so, closing of windows and doors. In addition, the detectors are provided with connectors for external wired contacts monitoring. Programmed to Elmes Electronic receiver detectors allow operating mode selection by jumper J1, as described below:
| Opening of door/window| Closing of door/window
---|---|---
J1 shorted| Single transmission – setting receiver’s channel
output to ON for a programmed time
| No transmission – no reaction of the receiver
J1 opened| Three transmissions in random time intervals –
setting receiver’s channel output to ON
| Three transmissions in random time intervals –
receiver’s channel output set to OFF
IMPORTANT! After operating mode change the detectors must be always re- learned to receiver.
On board, reed contact is marked A and wired contacts connector is marked B. They are connected in series and their activation is made by jumper marked A/B. Shorted pins A of the jumper mean active reed contact. Shorted pins B mean active wired connector. No shunt on jumper A/B allows simultaneous activation of both reed contact and wired connector. Wires from external reed contact should be put through a hole made in plastic housing of detector.
Detectors signal anti-sabotage alarm by setting on relay at receiver’s output while low battery information is transmitted to receiver and signaled the way according to receiver’s specification. Jumper LED is user set battery life saving feature and sets on/off LED indication while radio transmission is made by detector.
Learning CTX3H & CTX4H detectors to Elmes Electronic receivers.
The detectors are recommended to operate with CH4HR, U4HR, CH8HR or CH20HR
receivers. Low battery warning is indicated in receiver and send with every
transmission. Corresponding relay output selection is made in receiver. For
detailed detector learning instruction please follow receivers’ manuals. There
are two ways of learning CTX3 and CTX4 detectors to receivers:
-
With TAMPER alarm diverted to the last output of a receiver: learning the detector to a receiver (example: to output 2 of the CH8HR receiver as shown on side diagram) trigger transmissions using the external magnet (detector’s box closed and TAMPER not active). After learning output 2 signals open/close alarm while TAMPER alarm will be active in output 8 (last).
-
Without TAMPER alarm diversion allowing identification of TAMPER alarm source. Learn detector using only its TAMPER switch to any output of a receiver (example: to output 5 of CH8HR.). After learning, TAMPER alarm is active in output 5 while open/close alarming is always signaled three outputs backward, in case of the example at output 2, as shown on side diagram. With jumper J1 shorted, CTX detectors can operate with one or two outputs Elmes Electronic receivers. With these receivers TAMPER alarm and contact closing is not signaled. Jumper J2 of CTX4H detector allows alarm output selection when operating with two outputs receiver. With J2 shorted alarm is set to output 1. With J2 opened alarm is set to output 2.
Installation
Detector operating range is up to 100m. Concrete, metal screening, sources of
electromagnetic interference and wet obstacles may vastly reduce operating
range. Therefore test should be made to determine practical operating range on
site before firm installation. Level of received signals may be evaluated
using RFM monitor (optional).
