600-1025 OEM Transceiver Module
Installation Instructions
Description
The OEM transceiver modules are compatible with GE Security
wireless transmitters. The modules have an onboard receiver,
microprocessor, and connection for a daughter board. The micro-
processor controls the receiver, providing antenna switching and
AGC functions. It also analyzes the received data from the
receiver, validates incoming packets, and returns packets to the
receiver when polled. A daughter board, which communicates
with the module via an 8-pin header, can be added to implement
a variety of functions.
Each module encapsulates the receiver functions and formats and
presents a common interface to the daughter board. Therefore,
even though protocols vary among the GE Security radio
frequencies used around the world, the interface is the same to
the daughter board.

Installation guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when installing the OEM trans-
ceiver module:
ceiver module:
• Allow at least 9 inches (22.9 cm) of clearance above the
enclosure for the antennas.
• Avoid mounting locations that expose the module to mois-
ture.
• Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring
including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable, mount
on or near metal with the antenna extending above the
metallic surfaces as shown in Figure 1.
