Linear DXS-72 Folheto

DXS-72

The DXS-72 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-72 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 two 9-volt alkaline or lithium batteries. 
These batteries are supplied with the transmitter and can power 
the unit for up to two years. Every hour, the DXS-72 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 or has been removed from the system. 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).
