• DXI-SWM08
• DXI-SWMTW
• DXI-SPED08
• DXI-SPEDTW
• DXI-SPEDHY08
• DXI-PSB08
• DXI-PSBTW
• DXI-DPSB56
• DXI-PPED08
• DXI-PPEDTW

CAUTION: DXi serviceable parts shall be installed by qualied personnel familiar with the product and with local
electrical code requirements. DXi serviceable parts shall not be used or installed in product other than DXi Product
Series. Failure to do so will void product’s safety and FCC certication.
If used in product other than DXi Product Series, additional safety and FCC testing shall be considered as part of
the end product assessment and usability.
!
CAUTION: Power o󰀨 the controller prior to installing expansion kits.

Antenna Installation
To install a UHF antenna for the DXi:
1. Insert included rubber grommet into the enclosure hole
for the antenna.
Insert antenna threading through the hole 1.
2. Secure the large nut and antenna connector to threading
of antenna 2.
3. Power on the controller and initialize the newly
connected UHF radio board.
4. e UHF radio uses the same frequency as the base
radio. Both Rx and TX are on the same frequency.
An FCC or IC license is required to operate the UHF
radio. If the base network is on the internet through an
Ethernet gateway, the “CLOUD ID” will be displayed
on the controller faceplate. Communication at the
Central can be veried by sending test commands via
the Sentinel WMS or Laguna software and looking for
acknowledgment.

FCC & IC Label
It is important to keep track of what wireless devices are installed in
your DXi controller.
Each DXi controller ships with a label showing important
information such as Model number, Serial number, UL
certication, and more 1.
Depending on the enclosure, this label might be found on the
interior side of the enclosure door 2.
• If your DXi controller ships with a wireless device,
the label will show the FCC ID and IC ID 1.
• If your DXi controller does not ship with a wireless device,
the label will be blank in that area.
e radio kit ships with a small sticker label with its FCC ID and
IC ID 3.
• If your DXi controller label is blank in that area, adhere the
FCC sticker to that blank area.
• If your DXi controller label already has FCC ID and IC ID
information in that area, adhere the radio sticker adjacent to
it as illustrated 4.

is product contain a modular approval with FCC ID 8RS-M8-UC and
IC 8386A-M8UC.
is equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. ese limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. is
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
is device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply
with innovation, Science, and Economic development Canada’s licence-
exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) is device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
L’émetteur/recepteur exempt de license contenu dans le présent appareil
est conforme aux CNR d’innovation, Science et Dévellopement
économique Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux condtions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même
si le brouillage est suceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
is device complies with FCC and ISED RF radiation exposure limits
set forth for genral population. is device must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Le present appareil est conforme aux niveaux limites d’exigences
d’exposition RF aux personnes dénies par ISDE. L’appareil doit être
