What can the Universal Transmitter be used for?
The universal transmitter can be used to connect any device to initiate a wireless alarm call on a Tynetec/Aidcall warden call
system, at-home alarm or Nursecall system.
The device it is being connected to must have a momentary action, normally open or normally closed, voltage free relay output
that changes state on alarm.
The universal transmitter also includes a reed switch which can be used with an intruder alarm type door magnet to monitor a
door being opened/closed.
Choosing a Location
The universal transmitter must be fitted internally within ½ metre of the device being monitored.
The universal transmitter must be fitted to the door frame if its internal reed switch is being used to monitor a door.
Typical Tools Required
A multi-meter may be required to check the output of the device being connected.
Side cutters are required to cut and strip the wires.
Small flat bladed and Pozi screwdrivers will be required.
Fitting the Universal Transmitter
Establish that the device you are connecting the transmitter to has a momentary action, normally open,
voltage free relay output. Failure to check this may result in damage to the transmitter.
If you are unsure how to check this seek advice from an Electrical Engineer.
1. Select the best location and fix the unit to a clean dry surface using
the double-sided self-adhesive foam pad provided.
2. Undo the 4 fixing screws and remove the lid.
3. The universal transmitter comes with ½ metre of wire, cut to the required
length, strip the ends and connect to the device being monitored.
