SUPERVISED LONG RANGE
“WRISTWATCH” TRANSMITTER
Operation Instructions
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model DXS-LRW is a battery powered, miniature, water-resistant*,
supervised transmitter designed for use in emergency applications with
Linear’s DX and DXS format receivers. The transmitter is supplied with a soft,
adjustable, silicone wristband. Pressing the button on the transmitter sends a
digitally coded wireless signal to its companion receiver. To insure sending a
complete signal, press the transmitter button for a minimum of two seconds.
The DXS-LRW transmitter is factory set to a unique code, so no field coding is
required. The DXS-LRW sends a signal when its button is pressed. The
transmitter can send a signal for up to 30 seconds per activation. The signal
indicator on the transmitter lights green when the unit is activated.
Receivers must be programmed to the transmitter’s code before system testing
and operation. Refer to the receiver’s instructions for details on
programming.
If status transmissions are enabled, the transmitter will send a status signal
every two hours. Some receivers are able to monitor status signals, others are
not.
Every two hours the transmitter tests for a low battery. This test takes place
even if status transmissions have not been enabled. If the battery tests low,
a low battery signal is sent. If the transmitter is activated with a low
battery, the signal indicator will light red.
Each transmitter is sealed to provide water-resistance. The unit’s battery is
not replaceable. The transmitter should be discarded at the end of its battery
life.
- NOTE: Water resistance not tested by UL
FEATURES
STATUS OPTION & PROGRAMMING
IF THE TWO HOUR STATUS TIMER IS DESIRED FOR SUPERVISION, PERMANENTLY ENABLE THE TIMER BY PRESSING THE TRANSMITTER BUTTON FIVE TIMES IN SUCCESSION WITHIN 3 TO 4 SECONDS. WHEN STATUS REPORTING IS TURNED ON, THE LED SIGNAL INDICATOR WILL BLINK 3 TIMES AFTER ACTIVATION.
PROGRAM THE TRANSMITTER INTO THE RECEIVER BY PLACING THE RECEIVER INTO PROGRAM MODE, THEN SEND A SIGNAL TO THE RECEIVER FROM THE TRANSMITTER. REFER TO THE UL LISTED PERS-2400B OR PERS-3600B RECEIVER’S PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETAILS.
SYSTEM TESTING
IMPORTANT ! TEST SYSTEM WEEKLY !
THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
FREQUENTLY. OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, NO ELECTRONIC PRODUCT IS BETTER THAN THE
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE IT RECEIVES. THEREFORE, FROM THE TIME OF
INSTALLATION, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO TEST THE SYSTEM AT LEAST ONCE A
WEEK.
PLACE THE RECEIVER IN “TEST” MODE AND ACTIVATE THE TRANSMITTER. VERIFY THAT
THE SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED AND THAT THE SYSTEM REPORTS AS REQUIRED.
IF THE SIGNAL INDICATOR BLINKS RED-GREEN 3 TIMES AT THE END OF AN ACTIVATION,
THE BATTERY IS GETTING NEAR ITS LOW BATTERY LEVEL. NO LOW BATTERY SIGNAL IS
SENT IN THIS CONDITION.
IF THE SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS RED WHILE THE BUTTON IS PRESSED, THE BATTERY IS LOW AND THE DXS-LRW TRANSMITTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

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.
- For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 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.
- 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.
This device complies with FCC Part 15 and Canada Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
