CT-10x Compact Transmitter - User Manual 

 
The CT-10x series of compact transmitters are designed to send pre-programmed alphanumeric messages or commands to 
compatible wireless receivers such as pagers, alphanumeric LED displays or other wireless controllers. When set to System 
Monitored mode, the CT-10x compact transmitters send a coded message to a receiver connected to a compatible 
monitoring system that analyzes the content of the coded message and initiates the respective action according to its 
internal programming. 
 
The CT-10x messages and alerts can be triggered using the push buttons, dry-contact closure, door magnet sensor, or 
horizontal position sensor. Each one of the triggers applicable to the device can be programmed with its own unique 
message or alert and activate one or multiple wireless receivers. 
 

Operation 

 
Note: The CT-10x compact transmitters are fully programmable using the VPS software. Please refer to the Software & 
Programming section below for more information. 
 
Follow these steps to activate the CT-10x compact transmitter: 
 

1.  Confirm that the CT-10x is programmed with the identical parameters of the wireless receiver (frequency, baud rate, 

message type, polarity, capcode, etc.). Note: use the VPS software to read the CT-10x parameters and modify them 
as required. 

 
2.  Activate the trigger/s applicable to your device (press a button, close the dry-contact closure, separate the external 

door magnet from the CT-10x, or change the CT-10x to the horizontal position). 

 
3.  Verify that the alphanumeric message is displayed on the respective receiver or that the receiver executed the 

wireless command (play pre-programmed tone stored in its memory, turn on strobe light, etc.). For system monitored 
devices, verify that the monitoring system received and processed the coded message. 

 
In addition to the messages and alerts generated by the device triggers, the device can also generate status and monitoring 
messages. These messages are listed below: 
 

1.  Cancel Alert: generated when the CT-10x is reset to normal status. Depending on the purchased device configuration, 

Cancel status occurs when a magnet is swiped next to the left side of the CT-10x, a dry-contact closure is opened, an 
external door magnet is placed back next to the CT-10x, or when the CT-10x is returned to vertical position). 

 
2.  Monitoring Alert: generated by the device when supervision, elevated alert, low battery or malfunction events occur. If 

Supervision and Elevated alerts are activated, their respective time interval is also user programmable. 

 
3.  Repeat: If activated, the original message is repeated as long as the CT-10x has not been reset to the Normal status. 

The number of repetitions and the time interval between each repetition is user programmable. 

 
 

Battery Replacement 

 
The CT-10x compact transmitters uses standard CR-2 lithium battery. Follow these steps to replace the battery: 
 

1.  Remove the 4 screws from the back cover and carefully separate the back cover from the front cover. 
 
2.  Identify the installation polarity and direction of the installed battery. 
 
3.  Remove the old battery and install the new battery following the same polarity used by the old battery and according 

to the marking on the plastic case and circuit board (+ on battery should match the + on the CT-10x board). 
 
Warning: Incorrect polarity may cause permanent damage to the CT-10x and is not covered under warranty. If the 
device is not operational or the new battery feels hot to touch, remove the battery immediately. 

 
4.  Replace the back cover on the front cover and use the 4 screws to secure them together. Hand tighten the screws to 

avoid damage to the case.
