Optex TC-10U User manual

2000
Transmission range may change due to the environment.
Please check if system functions properly on site.
In the case of insufficient transmission range, use TR-20U
(Repeater unit) to extend range.
When the door opens or when the transmitter unit is removed from the wall plate.
When the distance of the magnet unit is away from the transmitter unit as shown.
Move the slide switch to
the “INPUT TERMINAL”
selection.
Remove the wiring
knockout as shown.
* Note: this eliminates
the weatherproof rating
of the transmitter.
Connect any OPTEX’s battery operated
detectors to the input terminals.
* The transmitter can be mounted in any
OPTEX’s battery operated detectors
backbox.
* For a complete list of applicable
detectors, visit www.optexamerica.com
When using OPTEX’s battery operated detector
Transmission signal will be sent when following conditions occur.
When the distance of the magnet exceeds 1.58 inches as shown. When the distance of the magnet exceeds 2.36 inches as shown. When the distance of the magnet exceeds 1.97 inches as shown.

5.Tampering
Any changes or modifications not expressly appoved by OPTEX could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
6. Transmission range
Transmission range may decrease under the following conditions:
- Either TC-10U or receiving unit installed on a metal surface.
- Presence of a steel door, reinforced concrete or other metal obstructions between
TC-10U and receiving units.
- Places near strong radio sources such as broadcast stations or substation.
7. Battery replacement
Replace battery every 2 years. Use only CR123 3V lithium battery.
8. Cleaning
Harsh cleaners such as paint removers or benzene may ruin the surface. Use a soft wet
cloth and mild soap to clean.
1. Outdoor Use
The TC-10U Transmitter is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, being careful not
to expose directly to rain.
2. Harsh environment.
Do not use the TC-10U under severe conditions such as high temperatures, rapid
temperature change, high humidity, steam or smoke.
This may cause the unit to malfunction.
3. Impact/Shock
Impact or Shock can cause severe damage or break the TC-10U.
4. Electric Devices
Use the TC-10U at least 3ft (1m) away from any electronic devices such as TVs,
Radios, PCs, Microwave ovens or any other devices with an electric motors.
This may cause the unit to malfunction.

•Press switch 1 of
the receiver until
the power indicator
starts flashing.
•Press switch 2 to
select the zone
you wish to assign
to the sensor.
2. Activation 3. Verification Note:
1. The system is not operating.
Check the transmitter.
Does the status indicator light up when
y
wallplate?
ou remove transmitter unit from
If not, check to see whether the battery is inserted
correctly. Otherwise try a new battery.
Is the status indicator flashing? The battery is old. Replace the battery.
Check the receiver(or repeater).
Is the power indicator of the receiver lit? Is the receiver on? Check the wiring, power switch
and connection.
The receiver does not respond to the TC-
10U.
The TC-10U is not properly recognized by the
receiver. Teach the receiver correctly.
The zone indicator of the receiver is on,
but nothing happens.
The receiver has not been properly setup. Refer to
the receiver’s manual and verify the setting.
Is there anything blocking the
transmission?
Relocate the receiver and/or the TC-10U. Metal
objects can shorten the effective transmission range.
2. The system is not operating correctly.
It does not transmit.
Before contacting the supplier! Remove the battery, then reinsert the new
batteries and verify the TC-10U’s operation again.
•If the above solutions do not work, please contact your supplier for services.

FCC ID : DC9TC-10U
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the OPTEX could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.To comply with
the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating to conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no grantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on , the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.(1)Reorient or
relocate the receiving antenna.(2)Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.(3)Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.(4)Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
IC : 4012A-000000TC10U
Operation is subject to the following two conditions.(1)this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
2. Insert Battery.
Observe polarity.
(+/- direction)
3. Install the Front cover.
Be sure to close securely.
1. Remove the Front cover as
shown.
• Verify that the receiver has
learned successfully by
observing the zone
indicators of the receiver.
Zone indicators should
have stopped flashing and
remain continuously on.
• Separate the magnet unit from transmitter unit. • After teaching all the
transmitter codes (if you
have multiple transmitters),
return the receiver to
normal operating status.
• Make sure that the receiver
operates correctly with all
the transmitters.

Don’t put the magnet unit close
to transmitter unit until you are
ready to teach the receiver.
Unwanted detection can cause
the TC-10U to be assigned to
the wrong zone and override
the data of other transmitters.
After installation, open and close door/ window and confirm the reception of the
transmission signal on the receiver side.
