Installation Instructions for the
RF3224 RF Receiver
1.0 General Information
The RF3224 RF Receiver allows the use of wireless
devices when using the D6412 Control Panel.
2.0 Specifications
3.0 Mounting
3.1 Mounting Considerations
• Whenever possible, mount the receiver centrally to all
wireless sensors.
• Mount the receiver vertically with at least 25 cm
(10 in.) clearance above it for the antennas.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas with significant
metal or electrical wiring, such as furnace rooms and
utility rooms. If unavoidable, mount the receiver with
the antennas extending above any metal surface.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas where it may be
exposed to moisture.
• Reception distances are generally improved with
higher mounting locations and with no metal objects
near the antennas.
3.2 Wall Tamper Setup
To enable the wall tamper switch, follow the procedure
below. If not using the wall tamper, go to Section 3.3
Mounting the Receiver.
1. Remove the receiver's outer cover and set it aside (see
Figure 1).
2. Press the latch to remove the inner cover (see Figure 2).
3. Move the wall tamper jumper as shown in Figure 3.
4. Replace the inner cover.
5. Place the spring from the hardware packet over the
shaft of the tamper switch located on the back of the
receiver (see Figure 4).
Note: Gently press the spring onto the tapered shaft. Do not
force it down onto the shaft.
3.3 Mounting the Receiver
1. Determine the mounting location of the receiver.
2. If not already done, remove the outer cover from the
receiver and set it aside (see Figure 1).
3. Place the receiver base on the wall at the desired
mounting location and mark the two mounting holes
(see Figure 5).
4. Drill holes and install anchors (supplied), if necessary.
5. Secure the receiver base to the wall with screws
(supplied).
6. Insert an antenna into the outside terminal on two of
the antenna connectors as shown in Figure 6. Tighten
screws to secure the antennas.

3.4 Setting Receiver Options
Note: Changing these settings requires removing the power to
the receiver and then reapplying for the changes to take affect.
Set the receiver address option as required (see Figure 7).
4.0 Wiring and Power Up
4.1 Wiring the Receiver to the Control Panel
1. Disconnect power from the control panel.
2. Connect the D6412 Option Bus terminals to the
RF3224 receiver terminals as shown in Figure 8, using a
minimum of 22 AWG (0.8 mm diameter) wire.
The wire length between the receiver and the control
panel should not exceed 300 m (1000 ft.). Adding
supplementary devices to the bus may reduce the
maximum distance. Shielded cable is not required. Do
not use twisted pair wire.
Note: Fire systems installed under NFPA 72 or UL Listed
Fire Systems require the use of #18 AWG (1.2 mm) or larger
wire.
3. Replace the outer cover.
4. Apply power to the control panel. The red LED at the
center of the receiver illuminates.
4.2 LED Status
Table 2 describes the status of the receiver based on the
LED condition.

Momentarily
The receiver acknowledged receiving a
message from a compatible transmitter.
Flashes
Rapidly The receiver is being programmed with zone and transmitter IDs from the D6412 Control
Panel. This condition occurs upon initialization
(power up) of the system or when new zone
information is programmed into the system. The
rapid flashing lasts for less than 1 minute.
