Right - angle MMCX plug location, this plug must not get
loose or you will loose reception. You will run the Coax
through the cable management provided on the panel
in order to properly route the coax so it does not get
pinched.
FIG-A
FIG-B
The Yagi-Directional, GPRS remote antenna is shown right.
This is used to gain signal strength in areas where there is little
to no cellular coverage.
The RSI- XT Series control panels (XT600, XTX600) can have
its’ GPRS Modem Antenna externally connected to a high gain
30 degree focused directional antenna. Any additional range
seen is dependent on the local noise floor, distance to the
cellular tower, obstructions (metal, earth, concrete, etc.) The
XTO600 already has a High Gain GPRS antenna hooked up but
does have the capability of adding the Yagi GPRS antenna.
Note: This modification will not cure all cellular range problems.
To do this, some fabrication must be done to the RSI control
panel to connect a 19” pig-tail coax with MMCX connector to
the Cellular Modem in the control panel. Note: This task requires a
good level of electronic / mechanical skill.
Before you begin be aware of static discharge, this will dam-
age circuit board parts. Wear an anti-static wrist guard that is
properly grounded.
There is a bulkhead female “N” connector that has a 19” pig-tail
and small - Diameter coax with a right - angle MMCX make jack
that needs to be plugged into the mmcx receiver jack on the
control panel labeled ‘GPRS’.
You must first remove the old cell modem antenna. It unplugs
from the Control Panel marked GPRS, pull it straight up using a
needle nose plyers, FIG-A.
Carefully plug the new 9” pig-tail coax MMCX male connector
into the GPRS MMCX female on the Control Panel, FIG-B. Run
the coax back around and through the cable management and
out the back of the panel.

Remove the tab on the cover for the panel in order to allow the
coax through without being pinched.
When connecting the pigtail to the MMCX jack on the Control Panel you will feel it ‘click’ into place.
No Gap = Okay
FULL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the control panel’s top cover by removing the two screws on the side. DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES
2. Remove the exisitng GPRS antenna by using a needle nose plyers and lifting it straight up, FIG A.
3. Replace the antenna with the 19” pigtail connector. Be sure that you feel it ‘Click’ into the connector.
4. Run the coax back around through the built in cable management, FIG B.
5. Visually inspect the coax cable and MMCX connector making sure that they are not damaged and still plugged in throughout
the process.
6. Remove one tab from the cover to allow the coax to route through so that it is not pinched when the cover is placed onto the
panel.
7. Carefully close the middle cover and screw it back together.
