The 2 Channel SMART RF Wireless Output Module, is
an advanced 433MHz RF transceiver with 2 indepen-
dently controllable relay outputs. Output functionality is
congured via panel programming, and any number of
RF outputs can be used, up to the maximum number of
outputs supported on the panel.
The panel must be tted with one or more RF120 and/or
RF121 Smart RF Receivers (V2.51or higher).
The unit is compact so it can easily t inside a gate
controller cabinet or can be mounted easily to most
surfaces. The wide operating voltage 9 to 28 volts AC/DC
makes it easy to power from third-party controllers or
power supplies.
The 2-Way communication protocol is encrypted with
rolling code and anti substitution technology making
the RF160 an ideal choice for controlling gates, garage
doors, lights or security systems.
Box Contents

Mounting Considerations:
• The receiver should be mounted in a location at
least 2 metres from other receivers.
RF160 - 2CH SMART RF Output Module - 433MHz
• The receiver should be mounted on a vertical sur-
face with at least 30cm clearance from metal objects.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas with signicant
metal or electrical wiring.
• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas where it may
be exposed to moisture or high humidity.
• Reception distances are generally improved with
higher mounting locations and with no metal ob-
jects near the unit.
• If range is not achievable due to environmental or
specication limitations then look at relocating the
unit to a more appropriate location.
Receiver Operation
The RF160 will turn on the green RX LED to indicate the
unit is powered and it will blink o each time a signal is
received. Each time a Keyfob button is pressed the corre-
sponding relay will operate and a conrmation signal is
sent to the Keyfob to indicate a successful 2 way transac-
tion. When button RLY1 or RLY2 are triggered manually
they operate the corresponding relay to allow you to
test your connections and device your operating.
WARNING always be sure to check that there is no ob-
jects in the way when operating an automatic device as
this could cause damage or injury to a person.
Relay Programming
Before conguring RF outputs, the control panel needs
to be communicating to an existing Digiex smart RF
receiver (refer to both the control panel and smart RF
receiver installation manuals for further information).
You need to congure an output at the control panel
from the available event types provided - refer to the
control panel installation manual for further information.
Each relay on the RF160 can follow a single control panel
output when the event occurs.
Conguring Output At Control Panel - Example
The example below will congure an output to operate a
garage door controller (in this example using output 6).
MENU 4-1-0 Output Name < Garage Door >
MENU 4-1-1 Event Type < 60 = Door >
MENU 4-1-2 Event Assignment < 01 = Door 1 Name >
MENU 4-1-3 Output Polarity < 04 = Open, 1 Shot Low >
MENU 4-1-4 Output Time Parameter < 001 Second >

Devices > RF Devices
RF Site Key MENU 6-2-9
This menu allows the installer to set the site key to lock
Digiex Smart RF sensors to the control panel.
The RF Site Key has been added to lock Smart RF devices
to a specic site. Once a device is registered to a site, it is
locked to the RF Site ID and cannot be learned or operated
on any other site.
To relearn a device onto a dierent site with a dierent
RF Site ID, you must rst remove power or the battery to
reset the RF device, and it will then learn to any new site.
The factory default RF site key is the serial number of the
control panel. When upgrading panel rmware the RF
Site ID is not changed and will need to be programmed
if required.

RF160 Housing
The RF160 is housed in 3 piece plastic enclosure comprising a base plate , top cover and a terminal cover. The top
cover is xed to the base using a Phillips head screw. The top cover needs to be removed to install the wire antenna.
The terminal cover is a press t allowing easy removal. Once the wiring and programming has been completed the
cover should be reinstalled to help prevent the ingress of insects and other debris.
Wall Mounting
A wall mounting tab is located on the inside of the top cover should you wish to locate the unit on a wall or other
structure. Once removed from the cover the tab slides and locks into the base plate as shown below.
