OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing a MINDA TX-400 Transmitter, which uses a low-power microprocessor
for ‘house-keeping’ and offers the following factory programmable options:
• A Unit Identity Code (TX ID number 1,2,3,or 4) which will allow a single receiver to identify up to
four different transmitters.
• A very secure Family Identity Code, enabling secure use of multiple groups of transmitters and
receivers together in the same location - without receiving alarms in ALL receivers.
• Full compatibility with other MINDA equipment
• Transmitter ‘Low Battery’ alert sent to receiver
• Very low power consumption
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place - it contains important information and helpful tips
which will assist you to obtain the best possible performance from your new MINDA system.
OPERATING FREQUENCY
All MINDA systems for use in the United States operate on a frequency of 418MHz in the UHF
band. The operating radio frequency cannot be changed to suit a specific customer’s needs.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The MINDA TX-400 transmitter requires an internal 12 volt 33mA/hour battery type GP 23A
(Duracell type MN-21).
To install a new battery into a key-fob style transmitter, the two-piece case must be pried open by
inserting and carefully twisting a flat-bladed screwdriver into the groove formed by the two case
halves. The old battery can then be removed and replaced by a new one, taking care to ensure
that it is orientated in accordance with the polarity markings on the inside of the case. The case
top should then be carefully aligned with the LED and gently but firmly snapped closed just using
finger pressure.
OPERATION
The TX-400 will only communicate with an appropriate MINDA receiver, such as the RX-400
pocket receiver, or the RX-500 portable/mobile/tabletop receiver.
The TX-400 is operational immediately upon inserting the battery.
The TX-400 has two buttons: RED and BLACK.  The RED button sends a RED ALARM to a
MINDA receiver.  The BLACK button sends a GREEN alarm to a MINDA receiver.  Press and
hold either button for at least 1 second to transmit your alarm.
The TX-500 has one RED LED.  The red LED illuminates during transmissions. In use, if the red
LED on the transmitter fails to light, or is lit dimly, the transmitter battery probably needs to be
replaced.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY TRANSMITTED
Whenever a ‘MINDA’ transmitter operates, the actual digital data message transmitted contains
all of the following pieces of information, repeated a number of times:
< I am a ‘MINDA’ transmitter >
and < My Family Identity is ‘xxx’ >
and < I am Unit I.D. ‘y’>
and < My alarm status is ‘red/green’ >
and < My battery status is ‘OK/low’ >
