OPAL RFX - DETECTOR PROGRAMMING CHART
CUSTOMISING
All factory set parameters can be changed to suit individual
requirements. The highlighted areas on the programming
chart show the factory settings which suit most
applications. Changes can be easily made either before
installation or on site. Once changes have been made they
stored in a non-volatile memory.
To change any of the Opal RFX Settings:
1. Press the program button for the number of the
option to be changes, i.e twice for “Range’, three
times for “Lux Level”, four times for “Pulse Count”,
ve times for “CCTV Timer”.
2. Wait until the red LED goes off.
3. The red LED will then ash out the existing setting.
4. To change the settings for that option, press the
program button the number of times for the required.
5. The indicator then blinks twice and the changes are
stored in the Opal RFX’s non-volatile memory
EXAMPLE: To change the “Pulse Count” from 1 to 2:
1. Press the program button four times
2. Wait until the red LED indicator goes off
3. The indicator will now ash once, indicating the
current pulse count it 1.
4. Press the program button twice to change the pulse
count to 2.
5. The indicator blinks twice and the changes are stored
in the Opal RFXs non-volatile memory.
LUX ‘S’ OUTPUT ONLY
(a) 2 Lux to 240 Lux = the approximate light level at which
the ‘S’ outut is activated.
(b) 24hr = will operate day and night
All other outputs operate day and night irrespective of the
‘S’ output setting.
PULSE COUNT
The range of the unit will decrease if there is little difference
in the temperature between the moving object and the
background.
1. will give a fast response
2. gives better immunity with good response
3. gives higher immunity to false activation
Timing 1 (2 & £≤5 seconds)
TIME ‘CCTV’ OUTPUT
This is the time in seconds that the ‘CCTV’ volt free
output will activate after detection. For setup purposes the
respective channel indicator will also light for this time.
Adjust the jumper link on the RFX-3 Receiver to select
either normally open in alarm condition or normally closed
contacts.
RF CONTINUITY TEST
It is advisable to test the RF signal at the detector location
prior to installation.
To enter the RF continuity test mode - press the program
button on the Opal RFX ‘Eight’ times. One the eighth
press - ‘hold’ the button down for 5 seconds until the LED
goes out - the LED indicator will then ash and transmit
one signal per seconds to the receiver. The corresponding
channel indicator on the receiver will also ash once per
second if there is a strong RF link established.
This test mode will automatically cancel in ve minutes.
Alternatively to cancel the ‘RF’ continuity test - press and
hold the program button until the LED lights then release.
If it is necessary to conduct a site survey prior to installation
of this equipment it is advisable to power the RFX-3
Receiver temporarily with a PP3 (9 volt) battery. Register
one detector, then conduct and RF continuity test as
detailed above. As the signals to the receiver are sent once
per seconds the optimum position of both the Opal RFX
and the RFX-3 Receiver can be easily established.
CHANGING THE RANDOM CODE
In the unlikely event of another radio signal affecting
the correct operation of a single channel. The Opal RFX
detector can generate an alternative random code.
Press the program button on the Opal RFX nine times. On
the ninth press ‘hold’ the button down for 5 seconds until
the LED goes out, then release the button.
Then erase the code form the RFX-3 Receiver by holding
down that ‘channel button’ until the beeps stop, then repeat
steps ‘2’ to ‘6’ of the ‘Setup’ procedure to register the new
code.
