Cooper Security 4601-50 User manual

Pendant Transmitter
4601-50/60 PENDANT TRANSMITTER
Description
The 4601-50/60 are narrow-band, FM radio transmitters compatible with any
Scantronic 4600 radio receivers, and are designed to be used as an alarm trigger in
dispersed alarm units, nursecall systems and as a panic button in security and call
systems. The 4601-60 can be used as a remote setting device with the 4600 radio
intruder alarm panel.
Hardware
The units are supplied in an attractive, ABS, re-retardant, plastic housing with a
exible, tactile, trigger button moulded in neoprene rubber. The non-allergenic, silicone
rubber aerial cord of the 4601-50 version enables the user to wear the unit around his
or her neck. The unit has a degree of splash resistance but it is not designed to be
immersed in water.
Operation
The 4601-50/60 is triggered by depressing the orange button on the front of the unit.
Transmission is conrmed by a top-facing, red, LED, which stays lit for around 4
seconds.
Performance
The 4601-50/60 pendant transmitter is designed to operate over short distances, the
actual range depends on the receiver aerial and the nature of the receiving path. As a
reference, the 4601-50 pendant transmitter / 4618 receiver + half-wave dipole aerial
combination gives a range in excess of 300 metres over at, open ground: the
following multipliers should assist range estimates.

The 4601-60 has a reduced, at, open-ground range of 150 metres with the same
aerial combination.
Battery Life
The 4601-50/60 transmitters are powered by lithium-manganese-dioxide batteries,
which are designed to give at least 20,000 operating cycles, or 3 years life if used twice
per day.
The battery is permanently soldered to the transmitter and is not designed to be user-
changeable. If the battery needs changing, return the whole unit, including the case, to
your distributor or direct to Scantronic Service Department.

Coding
Open the case, by removing the two cross headed screws at the rear, turn the unit over
so that the screw holes are underneath, gently remove the cover, taking care not to
damage the sealant, and place cover to one side.
The pendants must be coded to match the appropriate receiver, this is carried out via
two sets of small DIL switches, these have only two positions: UP (or ON), DOWN (or
OFF). You can select ANY combination you like EXCEPT ALL SWITCHES UP (or
ON).
ENSURE THAT THE SWITCHES ON YOUR RECEIVER MATCH EXACTLY
THE SWITCH CODE YOU HAVE SELECTED ON THE TRANSMITTER.
Re-assembly
the lid of the case, ensuring that the aerial cord is gripped in the guides
provided and the sealing “O” ring is correctly seated. Replace the cross-headed screws
into the holes and screw the case together. It is essential that the screws are
tightly secured as the water resistance is dependant on this. If necessary, re-seal the
aerial entry/exit point, with DOW-CORNING sealant REF:RTV 3145.
ON NO ACCOUNT CAN AN ACETIC ACID BASED SEALANT BE USED.
(Acetic acid sealants have a vinegar-like smell.)
Caution
After accidental immersion in any liquids, the unit should be opened (as described
above), the transmitter board removed and the whole unit allowed to dry. When
completely dry the unit should be re-assembled, the case re-sealed (as described in the
previous paragraph) and the whole unit tested for correct operation and range.
If the unit accidentally drops into non-liquid food-substances, it can be carefully wiped
clean with a damp cloth, under no circumstances should it be washed under running
Clip option
An optional clip (part no. 04630EUR) is available, this clip enables the transmitter to
