Installation and Operation Manual
STI 8-Channel Receiver
Thank you for purchasing this fine product. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Please read this manual carefully to get the
most from your new product.
HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS
STI offers multiple wireless products designed to alert you of several different conditions. The STI 8-CHANNEL RECEIVER is a
433 MHz radio signal receiver that allows you to monitor up to 8 different STI devices at a single, convenient location. When
placed in enroll mode, it allows you to select 1 of 8 different zones that will represent your STI device(s) best, and enrolls it
when the monitor detects the STI device’s wireless signal. The STI wireless device family uses a system that also ensures
other devices (not from STI) are not enrolled or detected. There are no concerns of accidental enrollment, alerts or crosstalk.
The RECEIVER allows you to choose which devices shall have a latching memory condition, when selected during enrollment.
It also allows you to select turning on a siren, sounding a chime, triggering a normally open or normally closed switch or
turning on an external 12 VDC output. The STI 8-CHANNEL RECEIVER also acts as a console repeater when paired with other
STI 8-CHANNEL RECEIVERS to receive wireless transmissions in up to 4 other areas over long distances or around disruptive
terrain.

NORMAL OPERATION
The RECEIVER receives 433 MHz radio signals from numerous STI sensors enrolled to the RECEIVER. It provides feedback in
the form of LED colors, onboard sounder annunciation, onboard sounder siren, switched on or off output terminals (Form C
contacts), a 3 second 12 VDC @ 75mA max. output on the triggered output plug and 12 VDC output terminals powered at the
same time as the onboard sounder.
LED Operation:
The LED status with higher importance is emitted by the LED. The LED importance is as follows (highest to lowest):
Red LED - Zone enrolled, Alert status
Flashing Red LED - Zone enrolled, Latched and Non-Triggered status
Amber LED - Zone enrolled, Tamper Alert and Non-Triggered status
Green LED - Zone enrolled, Normal and Non-Triggered status
LED OFF - Zone not enrolled
Onboard Sounder Operation:
Siren Mode – SW4 and SW5 (settings)
The onboard speaker gives a 4 KHz @ 90dB sound for the SIREN TIME set by SW4 and SW5 when any zone’s alert signal is
received (see Component Descriptions for siren times).
NOTE: Chime/Beep mode must be turned off, (SW6 OFF), for the siren mode to activate.
Chime/Beep Mode – (SW6 ON)
The onboard speaker gives a double beep when any zone’s alert signal is received. Chime/Beep mode overrides the siren mode.
Sensor Operation:
A SENSOR sends a 433 MHz radio signal to the RECEIVER that will indicate one or more of the following: Alert triggered;
restored to normal; sensor tampering; low battery; lost signal.
Adapter Plug Input - Input connector 12VDC, 500mA, center positive adapter (provided).
Triggered Output Plug (75mA) - 12VDC output connector. Activates with 12VDC, 75mA for 3 seconds when any zone
is triggered. Designed for use with STI Lamp Controller (STI-30104 sold separately).
Form C Switch Outputs (Dry Contacts)
N.O. - Normally open circuit to COM terminal. Closed to COM when alarm is triggered.
COM - Common return between N.O. or N.C.
N.C. - Normally closed circuit to COM terminal. Open to COM when alarm is triggered.
When any zone has an alert signal received and the LED changes to continuous RED, a short circuit is made between the NO
and COM, and an open circuit is made between NC and COM. As soon as ALL zones are not in alert mode and the LED is no
longer continuous RED, an open circuit is made between NO and COM, and a short circuit is made between NC and COM.
12VDC Input (500mA)
+12VDC - Positive voltage input. Power input circuit rated to 500mA current.
-12VDC - Negative voltage input.
The 12VDC input terminals allow the RECEIVER to be powered from an external 12VDC, 500mA rated power source.
12VDC Output (300mA)
+12VDC - Positive output voltage. 300mA maximum output current.
-12VDC - Negative output voltage.
A continuous 12VDC output is produced only while sounder is activated. The 12VDC output terminals will turn on at the same
time as the onboard sounder in siren mode or chime mode.

Enrolling Sensors into Zones:
1. Check that the module is not in DELETE mode (SW7 OFF).
2. If the zone should have “latching” set (SW3 ON).
3. Enable ENROLL mode set (SW2 ON).
4. CheckthatthezoneashingGREENiscorrect,andnotethezone(s)withREDLEDs.
5. Change the status of the SENSOR to be enrolled by triggering an alert on the SENSOR and return it to the non-triggered
state (if done manually).
6. The RECEIVER will give a double beep and the zone LED will change to continuous RED.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 to enroll another SENSOR.
8. To exit ENROLL mode set (SW2 OFF).
ZONE ENROLLING AND DELETING PROCEDURES
The STI 8-Channel Receiver is designed to receive ONLY wireless signals from products in the STI Alert Series (see back of
the installation instructions). The RECEIVER allows you to enroll up to 8 devices into zones 1 thru 8. The RECEIVER will enroll
from different SENSORS directly or by enrolling other mirrored RECEIVERS. The RECEIVER also enrolls up to eight keyfobs.
When ENROLL mode is enabled (SW2 ON), the LEDs for any currently enrolled zones will turn RED to indicate these zones
arenotavailable.TheLEDwillashGREENtoindicatetheavailablezonetobeenrolled.Pressthepushbuttontochange
toadifferentzonetobeenrolled.ThenextavailablezonewillhavetheashingGREENLED.TheRECEIVERwillnotallow
enrollment into an occupied zone. The RECEIVER will not allow the same device to be enrolled into more than one zone.
The RECEIVER will not enter ENROLL mode while it is in DELETE mode (i.e. DIP SW7 ON).
Zone Latching:
“Latching” lets you know a zone alert was previously triggered but the alert has also been cleared. When a zone is in the
“latched”status,thezoneLEDwillashRED.Forexample,whenadoorSENSORhasbeenopenedandclosed,thezoneLED
willashREDtoindicatethedoorwasopenedpreviously,butisnolongeropened.
The latching is released when the user presses the push button to indicate acknowledgement of the alert. When the “latched”
status is released, the zone LED will change back to continuous GREEN. If the zone has another alert before the “latched”
statusisreleased,theLEDwillchangetocontinuousREDinthealertstate,andthenbacktoashingwhenthealertiscleared.
A zone will have “latching” when SW3 is (ON) at the time of enrollment. If zone latching is not selected at the time of enrollment
(SW3 OFF), the zone LED will change from continuous RED back to continuous GREEN when the alert has been cleared.
Low Battery / Tamper Detection / Out of Range SENSOR Alerts:
If the battery is too weak, something has triggered a tamper alert signal from the SENSOR, or the SENSOR has been out of range
between 12 - 24 hours, the zone LED will light AMBER to alert a need for attention to that device.
Sensor Installation Tip:
When first enrolling a SENSOR, set the “latching” on (SW3 ON), and bring the SENSOR to the RECEIVER location to enroll it
before mounting the SENSOR. Then, mount the SENSOR at its intended location and trigger an alert on the SENSOR. Check
thezoneontheRECEIVERtoseeifitiscontinuousREDorashingRED,whichmeansitreceivedtheSENSOR’Ssignal.Then,
if latching is not desired, delete that zone (see Deleting Single Zones) and enroll the SENSOR again without latching (SW3
OFF), from the mounted location.
