RFXTHREECHANNELRECEIVER
The RFX receiver picks up the radio
transmission activity information from
theOpalRFXdetectors.Thereceiverwill
only pick up information from the
detectors once they have transferred the
individual code via the secure wire code
learninglink.Thistransferisonlyrequired
on the initial setup, any changes to the
detector programming will be relayed by
radio instantly to the receiver.
For correct alignment of the aerial (13) it
is important to mount the receiver
vertically to a secure surface indoors,
preferably on an exterior wall.
If extended range of upto 200 metres is
required, extend the aerial of the receiver
vertically.
Donotalterthelengthoftheaerialleadas
the optimum length is supplied.
FEATURES:
1) 2 pin secure wire code connector
2) Power Supply input (din socket)
or (3) optional screw terminals for
connecting'-'and'+'toGJDcontrollers
4) Low Battery Output (LO)
5) 'A' outputs for each detector which
activate on detection (24 hour) with
individual timers
6) 'S' output - light level controlled
7) RF output - will switch to common
when a detector is out of range or
jamming signal is present.
8) Select normally open or normally
closed 'A' outputs only
9) Loss of RF signal indicator this will
indicate 5 minutes after not receiving
asignal from a registered detector the
corresponding 'A' indicator will also
flash.
10) Channel buttons and detector
indicators
11) Battery low indicator corresponding
'A' indicator will also flash.
12) Reception - gives a visual
indication of the radio
signal being received.
(a) Flicker = normal
(b) Flashing every 5 seconds = low
battery, loss of signal.

MULTIBEAM LENS DATA
The GJD multifunction lens fitted to the OPAL RFX detector produces 9 long range
beams and 9 medium to short range curtain beams. Movement across the beams
produces the best response and range, whilst movement towards the detector will be
less responsive.
When mounting higher than boundary fences rotate the module and mask off any
beams,eitherverticallyorhorizontally,thatfalloutsidetheareabeingcovered.Usethe
self-adhesive clear mask supplied to the rear, smooth side, of the lens and always
replace the correct way up as shown to obtain the exact beam pattern coverage.
Beam Pattern set to minimum
range. Masking top section of
lens will reduce range to 8 metres
Beam Pattern set to maximum
range. Masking top section of lens
will reduce range to 20 metres

Wireless transmission
Each detector transmits radio signals to
the receiver and has over 16.7 million
individual codes. The wireless receiver
only responds to the transmitter that has
been linked to a channel to identify it.

(see fig 3)
3) Press the respective ‘CH button’ on
the receiver once – the LED lights
4) Within 4 seconds press and release
the‘Programbutton’onthedetector

5) The ‘CH’ indicator blinks twice.
The code for that detector is
stored
and registered to that channel.
6) Remove the connector link wire
from the receiver and plug into the
aerial transmitter in the back of
the detector. (fig 4) Detection
signals will be immediately be
transmitted to the receiver.

PROGRAMMING CHART
CUSTOMISING
Allfactorysetparameterscanbechanged
to suit individual requirements. The
highlighted areas on the programming
chart show the factory settings which suit
most applications. Changes can be easily
made either before installation or on site.
Once changes have been made they are
stored in a non-volatile memory.
PROGRAMMING
Toamendyourexisting'Option'and'Setting'
1) Press the program button on the detector

(e.g. range-press twice)
2) Wait 4 seconds until the LED goes out.
3) Within5 seconds pressthebutton again
for the number of the required

(e.g 20 metres-press three times)
4) TheLEDblinkstwice-the new settingis

To amend any other options/settings repeat
steps '1' to '4'
EXAMPLE
To set the Range to 20 metres
a) Press twice to select Range
b) Wait until LED goes off (4 seconds)
c) Press three times for 20 metres
LUX ‘S’ OUTPUT ONLY:
a) 2 lux to 240 lux. = the approximate
light level at which the ‘S’ output is
activated.
b) 24 HOUR = will operate day and
night.
All other outputs operate day and night
irrespective of the ‘S’ output setting.
PULSE COUNT:
The range of the unit will decrease if there
is little difference in temperature between
the moving object and the background.
1 will give a fast response
2 gives better immunity with good
response
3 gives higher immunity to false
activations

ALIGNMENT OF THE OPAL RFX

the temperature changes of moving
objects. Movement across the beams
produces the best response and range
whilst movement towards the detector
wouldbelessresponsive.Usethepanand

zone, and adjust the range of the detector
to cover the required area.
Theclear mask supplied withthedetector
can be applied vertically or horizontally
to eliminate coverage of a single beam to
an entire long range section. When
mounting higher than boundary fences
mask off any side beams that fall outside
of the required detection area.

CHANGING THE RANDOM CODE
In the unlikely event of another radio
signal affecting the correct operation of a
single channel. The Opal RFX detector
can generate an alternative random code.
Press the program button on the Opal
RFXnine times. On the ninth press 'hold'
the button down for 5 seconds until the
LED goes out, then release the button
.
Erase the code from the receiver by hold-
ing down that channel button until the

TESTING THE OUTPUTS
(Alignment of the detection beams)
When the 'program' button is pressed
momentarily the red indicator lights and
pulse count '1' is automatically selected.
Theunitcanthenbetested, theredindicator
will light on the Opal RFX and the
respective Channel indicator will flash
every time a detection takes place. This
test mode will automatically cancel five
minutes after last detection.Alternatively,
to cancel 'walk test' press the program
button twice to put into the standard low
power mode.
MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION:
Theelectronics mustbe protectedagainst
waterduringinstallationastrappedmois-
ture can effect or damage the unit.
1) First remove the front polythene cover
by pulling forwards, then remove the
lens module by pulling it out of the forked
bracket.
2) Drill the wall to accept the fixing
screw supplied with the wall plug.
4) Always ensure when replacing the
module that it is the correct way
up for correct alignment of the beam
pattern.
See page 3 Multibeam lens data.
At this stage, weather permitting, the unit
can be tested with the front cover fitted.
Press the program button once to put the
unit into 'walk test' mode. The LED will

and tilt the lens module to obtain the
correct alignment and adjust the range
until the correct coverage is obtained.
