1 GENERAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The overall system is known as the Digitize Radio Fire Alarm System and consists of a Digitize
SYSTEM 3505 Prism Lx, together with a Digitize Mark 6 Radio receiver. The system can
accommodate both AM (Amplitude Modulated) or FM (Frequency Modulated) radio boxes. A
receiver and antenna are also required at the receiving console location. The maximum
number of Radio Alarm Boxes each console can support is 2000 with the appropriate number
of receivers installed. The overall system is intended for use as a Public Fire Reporting system
per NFPA 1221.
RAD-16LS DESCRIPTION
The DIGITIZE model RAD-16LS, Fig. 1.1, is a microprocessor based Radio Fire Alarm
Municipal Transmitter, with sixteen supervised inputs, ground fault detection, AC power failure
and battery fault supervision. The standard model is housed in a painted steel enclosure, and
is supplied with a step-down AC transformer, tamper switch, cam lock, rechargeable battery
pack rated for 75 hours of standby power and an integral battery charger.
The following assemblies make up a RAD-16LS:
Microcontroller board P/N 400404-0000
Transformer assembly P/N 450449-0001
12 Volt 12 AH battery P/N 900414-0006
Plus one of the following:
FM transmitter P/N 450390-0000
AM transmitter P/N 450387-0001 (72-76 MHz)
AM transmitter P/N 450387-0002 (136-174 MHz).
The Microcontroller board is a micro-processor based controller board. All functions of the
RAD-16LS are controlled by a program that resides in an EPROM program chip. This flexibility
in the product allows the user to select such things as output format, set box number etc. The
transmitter assembly provides all power output regulation. The transmitter will provide 1 Watt
output even at 10.5 Vdc of battery voltage. The AM transmitter has a piggy backed tone card
to produce all required audio tones. The tones are produced via an on-board crystal oscillator
and programmable divider circuits. The transformer assembly provided is used to step down
the 120 VAC input voltage to 14 VAC required for proper operation of the RAD-16LS. The
sealed lead acid battery supplied provides the required 12.6 Vdc for battery backup. The
battery is a 12 Amp Hour battery and will operate the RAD-16LS for a minimum of 75 hours
during an AC failure. Slide switches and LEDs on the front panel allow the operator to view
Alarmand troubleinformation and provideaccessto field programmablefunctionsfortheRAD-
16LS.

SPECIFICATIONS
1.5.1 ELECTRICAL
Primary Power Input 120 VAC
Operating Power Consumption (pri) 150 Milliamps (max.)
Standby Battery (BATT) 12 Volt Sealed Lead Acid
Standby 75 Hours
Standby calculations are based on normal operation. During normal operation the RAD-
16LS tests in once each day. The RAD-16LS draws more power while transmitting. The
additional power (350 Ma) is needed for less than three seconds per three rounds transmitted.
The additional power draw is insignificant over a 24-hour period.

HANDLING
2.1.1 PRECAUTIONS
2.1.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Before opening, inspect the shipping container for unusual damage. Unpack the unit and
inspect for scratches, dents, and loose internal components. If the inspection reveals any
physical damage, retain the packing material and contact the carrier immediately. Each unit
has been thoroughly inspected prior to shipment.
NOTE: Keep unit in shipping container until ready to mount.
CABINET MOUNTING
2.2.1 SITE PREPARATION
The installation area should be well lit, clean, easily accessible and free from extremes of
temperature and humidity. Refer to Section 1.4.7, Temperature and Humidity for the maximum
operating conditions.
2.2.2 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Remove the interface plug from connector P1.
2. Disconnect barrier strip BS2.
3. Remove the four mounting screws from the front panel.
4. Place the front panel and mounting screws in the shipping container.
For initial installation, removal of the RF transmitter is not required.
CAUTION!! DO NOT TOUCH the circuitry on the board during installation
as static discharge may damage components.

2.2.3 SELECTING PROPER BOX MOUNTING LOCATION
To install a RAD-16LS with an external antenna, refer to information found in Section 2.2.1,
Site Preparation and Section 2.2.4, Mounting Instructions.
Proper mounting locations are extremely important for RAD-16LS with internal whip
antennas. It is recommended that the desired location first be tested with a known working
RAD-16LS box by holding the box in the desired location and sending a test transmission to
the receiving location. If the signal strength is adequate at the receiving location, then the
selected mounting location is good.
The mounting location will be less critical closer to the receiving location. In general, mount
the RAD-16LS close to the fire or security panel being monitored.
Avoid the following:
•Do not install box below ground level.
•Do not install box above 2nd floor (FCC rules state that tip of antenna should not be higher
than 20 feet above average terrain).
•Antenna must be at least three feet away from metal pipes. Make sure mounting wall does
not have metal pipe inside or behind it.
•Avoid installation in stucco or aluminum sided buildings (stucco buildings have a wire
mesh underneath the stucco which affects proper box transmission).
•Avoid installation in buildings that have walls with metal-backed insulation.
If any of the above is a problem, an external antenna mounted outside the building must be
used.
2.2.4 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The cabinet supplied with the standard model is designed for surface mounting. The
mounting area must be a clean, smooth surface of a permanent partition. The cabinet must be
securely fastened to the mounting surface using the four mounting holes. For cabinets with
whip antennas, refer to Section 1.4.5, Dimensions for the information necessary to determine
the proper clearance required above the cabinet.
2.2.5 WHIP ANTENNA INSTALLATION
To install a whip antenna proceed as follows:
1. On the top center of the box towards the rear, remove the 1/2 in. conduit knock-
out.
2. Remove the whip antenna from box. If 1/2 in. nut is on PVC threads, remove it.
3. Insert co-ax cable connecter through knock-out from top of box.
IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT! Do not mount integral whip antenna in
any other location other than the top of the RAD-16LS.
RAD-16LS INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL
DIGITIZE, INC. 700180-0000 REV. E 10/21 2-3
Specifications Subject to Change Without Notice
4. Place 1/2 in. PVC pipe threads and tighten antenna to box.
5. Connect co-ax connector to mating connector on RF Transmitter.
WIRING
2.3.1 CONDUIT CONNECTIONS
Connect all wiring conduit to the cabinet in accordance with applicable National Electric
Code and State and Local building code requirements. The cabinet is supplied with eight pre-
stressed, 1/2 in. knock-outs. Two are located on each of its four sides.
2.3.2 FIELD WIRING
Pull power feeds and all field wiring through the conduit and into the cabinet. It is important
that the field wiring for the zone inputs is isolated from power and telephone lines. Field wiring
for each zone input should be limited to less than 1000 feet in length.
All field wiring must be tested for grounds, induced voltages, open and shorted circuits. All
field wiring must be free of these conditions prior to connecting them to peripheral devices or
the RAD-16LS. Do not connect field wiring until the panel has been fully tested beforehand.
Tag all wiring for later connection to the unit. Follow the procedures outlined in Section 3,
System Initialization. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause damage to the unit.
RF TRANSMITTER AND INTERFACE
Two transmitter types, (AM or FM) are available. The wiring for both units is the same.
2.4.1 WIRING
The interface connector, “P1” must be plugged into “P1” of the main board of the RAD-
16LS. The co-axial antenna cable must be plugged into the connector marked “ANT”.
ASSEMBLY
1. Retrieve the front panel and mount it to wall enclosure.
2. Connect barrier strip BS2 to the main board.
3. Connect the interface plug to P1 of the main board.
TERMINAL FUNCTIONS
2.6.1 BS0, BS1, BS3, and BS4
These barrier strips contain terminals for the connection of field wiring to the Class B zone
initiating inputs. Zone number and polarity are illustrated below.
IMPORTANT!! Make sure antenna ground wire lug has a good electrical
connection to the enclosure cabinet. The cabinet becomes part of the
antenna element and a good electrical connection is vital for proper
operation.
