The Genie RF450V is a high quality 7 channel 5.8GHz audio / video wireless interface.
Designed for the CCTV industry the RF450V is enclosed in a small IP65 rated enclosure, has
a built in signal strength meter, status indicator, directional patch antennas and two digital
inputs for an external input and a tamper circuit.
The tamper circuit monitors lid removal for both the transmitter and receiver, an external
tamper input to the transmitter and it also detects the loss of a paired transmitter; either
through power failure or signal jamming.
The transmitter’s digital input channel has been designed for a connection to a PIR or door
contact etc, the signal is then transmitted to the receiver and output via a set of volt free
contacts. The volt free output can also be programmed with a timer period from 1 second
to 30 minutes, which is activated after the input has switched off. A typical use for this
could be a control signal to drive external lighting.
The RF450V incorporates a very simple programming system were a single switch allows
the RF channel to be changed, pairing of a transmitter to a receiver, programming of the
output timer and selection of the status monitor. Connections to both the transmitter
and receiver are via a 10-way rising clamp connector for the power, audio / video signals,
digital tamper and input / output channels.
Both the transmitter and receiver are supplied with a robust wall / pole (additional U bolts
required) mounting bracket to allow X and Y movement. When used in conjunction with the
internal 7 bar signal strength meter, reliable links can be achieved.

3.0 Programming
3.1 Transmitter Programming
To change the RF channel of the RF450V transmitter:
1. Hold down the program switch for 3 seconds until the channel light starts flashing.
2. Once the channel light is flashing release the program button.
3. A single press on the program switch will change the RF channel by one.
4. To save the new channel, hold down the program switch for 3 seconds until the
channel LED stops flashing.
At any point you wish to exit programming mode without saving the new settings, hold
down the tamper switch until all LED’s extinguish.
3.2 Receiver Programming
To enter program mode follow the steps below:
1. Hold down the program switch for 3 seconds until the yellow LED’s start to flash, then
release the program switch.
2. While the yellow LED’s are flashing, either the power or input LED will flash too. The
power LED indicates “Program RF Channel” and the input LED indicates “Program Out-
put Timer”. Briefly pressing the program switch toggles between these two modes.
3. To program the selected option hold down the program switch for 1 second, and the
green LED’s will flash twice to indicate the mode has been selected. Depending which
option has been selected follow options 4 or 6.
4. If “Program RF Channel” has been selected, the power LED and one of the seven status
LED’s will flash to indicate the current RF channel. To change the RF Channel, briefly
press the program switch. If a RF450V transmitter has been found the RF channel LED
emits one long pulse followed by two short pulses. If no transmitter has been found the
RF LED emits only one long pulse.
5. To save the current channel hold down the program switch for 3 seconds. If the two
green LED’s flash twice a valid RF450V transmitter has been saved and paired, but if the
two RED LED’s flash twice only the RF channel has been saved (no transmitter found).

6. If “Program Timer” has been selected, the input LED flashes and the status LED’s
indicate the selected option. To change the timer option briefly press the program key.
The timer options are as follows:
7. To save the new timer setting, hold down the program switch for 3 seconds. The 2
green LED’s will flash twice to indicate the new setting has been saved.
If at any point you wish to cancel out of the programming mode hold down the tamper
switch until all of the LED’s switch off; this will exit programming mode without saving the
current setting.

4.0 Input and Tamper Connections
4.1 Receiver
When the tamper circuit is healthy the output contacts are normally closed but under a
fault condition the tamper contacts become open circuit. The tamper LED flashes when the
receiver tamper switch is activated but if a tamper fault is detected with the transmitter,
the tamper LED stays 100% illuminated. Relay contacts are volt free.
The output relay is activated when an input is triggered on a paired transmitter. The output
status LED will also illuminate. Contacts are volt free.

4.2 Transmitter
The tamper circuit is a normally closed circuit and is activated by a break. Typical wiring
diagrams are shown below:
The external input is a normally open circuit. To activate the input short circuit the input.

5.0 Receiver Signal / Status LED’s
The RF450V signal / status LED’s have a few meanings. While the RF450V is not in
programming mode by briefly pressing the programming switch selects one of three
options.
1. Signal strength (default), this mode displays the signal level being received from the
transmitter. We recommend 2 ~ 3 bars of signal for a reliable link.
2. Transmitter status. This mode displays the status of the received transmitter. The table
below shows the LED meanings (Note: If a transmitter is not paired video and audio will
be present but the input and tamper channels will not work).
3. Display currently selected RF channel. In this mode only 1 LED will flash. This LED is the
currently selected RF channel. To change the RF channel refer to the programming
section. Briefly pressing the program switch again returns back the signal strength
mode.
If options 2 or 3 are left selected for more then 1 minute then the RF450V will default back
to the signal strength mode.
