1. Description
RF transmitter T16 is a multifunctional radio device used for transmitting security control panel event
messages via TRIKDIS radio networks.
The transmitter can send its own event messages and event messages received from security control
panels to the ARC (alarm receiving center) with the possibility to forward to the end user.
Features
Communication
 Sends event messages to ARC.
 RAS3, RAS2M, LARS1, LARS radio network protocols.
 Output power from 1 W to 5 W.
 Possibility to use external IP transmitter as main
communication channel.
 Transmission of event messages using Contact ID 4+2 codes.
 Use of security control panel account ID for multi-area
systems.
Configuration
 Quick and easy installation.
 Firmware updates
 Two types of access levels (accounts), for the installer and
for the administrator.
Serial port, inputs and outputs
 Universal serial port for connecting various security control
panels.
 TIP/RING landline interface can accept messages from the
control panel in Contract ID ir 4+2 codes.
 RS485 interface for IP transmitters and extension modules.
 6 inputs, selectable types: NC, NO, EOL (2,2 kΩ).
 1 output.
1.1 Description of operation
When connected to the terminals of a security control panel, the transmitter reads the signals from the
control panel and transforms them into messages that correspond with Contact ID protocol codes.
If the transmitter is configured to transmit in RAS-3 radio system encoding, the Contact ID message will be
transmitted unchanged. If the transmitter is configured to transmit in other radio system encodings, the
messages will be converted to codes of that system. The conversion table is saved in the transmitter’s
memory and can be altered if needed. If TRIKDIS equipment is used for reception, messages transmitted
in any encoding are forwarded to the monitoring program in their precise meanings.
NC, NO or EOL=2,2 kΩ type eternal circuits can be connected to the transmitter’s IN terminals (inputs). If
the circuit’s state is either altered or restored to the initial state, the transmitter will send an event
message.
The transmitter sends the control panel’s messages using a pre-set radio frequency and encoding. The
same message can be repeated 1-10 times. It is possible to set the transmitter to send messages in two

www.trikdis.com 5 May, 2019
RF transmitter
T16
different radio system encodings, two different radio frequencies and with different identification numbers
of the protected object.
The transmitter sends periodic Test messages for evaluating connectivity. The reception of these messages
is controlled by the receiving center’s message monitoring software. It is also possible to constantly send
PING messages, the reception of which is controlled by the receiving center’s reception hardware.
The transmitter automatically checks the power supply voltage. If the voltage falls below 11,5 ±0,2 V, the
transmitter will send a message about the power supply voltage being insufficient. If the voltage rises above
12,6 ±0,2 V, the transmitter will send a message about the power supply voltage being restored.
If the power supply voltage falls below 10 ±0,2 V, the transmitter will switch to sleep mode. Before
switching, the transmitter will send a message about the voltage drop. While operating in sleep mode, the
transmitter does not store or send any messages. The transmitter will switch from sleep mode to ordinary
mode only when 12,6 V power supply voltage remains stable after switching on the transmitter’s power.
DC power source. The T16 must be connected directly to the power terminals (AUX) or 12 V battery
terminals. The cross-sectional area of the transmitter’s power wire should be no less than 1 mm2. When
transmitting data, the transmitter consumes 1,2 A of current, so stability of the power supply voltage is
important for reliable operation of the transmitter.
Antenna. The antenna is very important to ensure a good quality connection. Use only an antenna specified
for the correct frequency and power. If you are using a 1/4 λ antenna, it must be vertically oriented and
mounted as high as possible. Avoid mounting the antenna in places where metal shields or concrete
partitions would block the reception antenna. The quality of connectivity is best when the transmitter and
receiver antennas are within line of sight of each other. Usually the quality of connectivity can be enhanced
by mounting the antenna as high as possible. The antenna should be connected to the transmitter using
coaxial 50 Ω cable. The longer the cable, the bigger the signal losses in it. It is recommended to use a cable
no longer than 10 meters. When the cable length is less than 5 m, RG-58U or a better cable is
recommended. Use a cable with lower attenuation for longer cables. When the transmitter is installed,
check the quality of the connectivity. To do this, send a few messages and check the signal level in the
receiver. A signal level not lower than 3 is sufficient.
Data cable. The data cable connecting the radio transmitter and the control panel should be no longer than
50 cm. If the data cable is longer, a shielded cable must be used. The data cable should be connected to
the keypad bus, series port or landline dialer on the control panel. Avoid mounting the cable in parallel
with AC power cables, the antenna cable or other sources of strong electromagnetic field.
RS485 interface. Modules W485 and TM17 can be connected to the transmitter’s RS485 interface. When
the length of the RS485 bus is larger than 1 m, use a twisted-pair cable (STP 4x2x0,5). Avoid mounting the
cable in parallel with AC power cables, the antenna cable or other sources of strong electromagnetic field.

The zones (inputs IN) of T16V and T16U transmitters can be connected directly to various devices (e.g.:
sensors, panic button, siren output) or to the control panel’s programmable outputs PGM. You must
choose the correct zone (input IN) type depending on the operation of the device being connected.
DC power source. Use a wire with a cross-sectional area of no less than 1 mm² to connect the transmitter.
Avoid using long cables (recommended length – up to 1m). Avoid mounting the cable in parallel with AC
power cables, the antenna cable or other strong sources of electromagnetic field. The radio transmitter
consumes 1,2 A of current while in sending mode, so a stable energy source is needed to power the
transmitter (AUX terminals of the security control panel, or connect directly to the battery terminals).
Data cable. The data cable connecting the RF transmitter and the security control panel must be no longer
than 50 cm. If the data cable is longer, a shielded cable must be used. The data cable should be connected

2.2 Schematic for connecting security control panel’s landline dialer
IMPORTANT: T16 should not be connected to a working telecom landline.
Referring to the control panel’s programming instructions, set the following parameters for the control
panel’s landline dialer:
 Enter the control panel’s 4-symbol identification number (account number, 0-9, A-F);
 Enter the 2-symbol cellular receiver number that the panel will call when an event occurs (e.g.: 12).
If the panel’s TLC programming rule requires, enter a number end symbol at the end of the number;
 Set the method of relaying messages to DTMF tones;
 Set the automatic message transfer protocol Contact ID.
 If you want to transfer special messages or the panel does not have automatic Contact ID code
formatting, manually enter the required event codes.
Form a panel message and check the operation of the interface. Blinking of the DATA indicator will show
when the transmitter is reading the panel’s messages.
Check to make sure that the transmitter correctly sent all of the control panel’s messages formed during
the test to the set recipient.
2.3 Schematics for connecting inputs
The transmitter has 6 input terminals (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6) for connecting NO, NC, EOL type circuits.

messages is to monitor the operation of the protected object’s equipment. PING messages are
generated in short intervals (every 5-10 minutes) and sent. PING messages are automatically
monitored by the ARC receiver. It is important to understand that the radio network is meant to be
used for transmitting messages about events, this means that PING messages can only be used for
the most important protected objects in a network to avoid a network overload.
 Send PING only if there is no event – check the box to send PING signals only when there are no
event messages being sent.
3.4 “RS485 modules” window

modules connected to the RS485 bus.
 Send confirmation to panel – if an IP transmitter (WiFi, LAN, GSM) is connected to the T16’s RS485
bus as a main channel, when the box is ticked the control panel receives a confirmation that the sent
message was received. This ensures that message transmission is more reliable. Not all panels have
this option. If the chosen panel does not have this option, the box will be inactive.
 Module Type – select the module connected to the transmitter’s RS485 bus from the list.
 Serial No – specify the serial number of the connected module. You can find the number on a sticker
on the connected module or its packaging.

radio system’s codes and sent to the ARC. The "?" symbol indicates any number in this position. The "z"
symbol means that the number in the position is added to the main radio system code. The table is editable,
but please change it responsibly and only if it is mandatory to do so, because if there are errors in the table,
the system might not work properly.
