G2 RF Portal
The G2 RF Portal is a wireless receiver for the Honeywell V2 Domonial transmitter range. The G2 RF Portal
allows the control panel to receive signals from wire-free detectors and radio keyfobs. One RF Portal will
allow the control panel to assign wire-free detectors to any or all detection zones. However, two RF Portals
can be used to increase coverage.
A maximum of two RF Portals can be connected to the RS485 (AB) line to support up to 44 zones.

Tamper By-pass Link
The Tamper By-pass Link (LK1) must be removed to allow the lid tamper to function through the operation
of switch SW2.
LED’s
The RF LED will blink upon reception of decodeable signals. If a jam condition occurs (continuous interfer-
ence), the LED will come on constantly. It will switch off again only when the jam condition clears.
The PWR LED gives power and communication status of the RF Portal (see Table 9 - RIO LED Flash
Rates for information on the meaning of the various flash rates).
Mounting the Plastic Base
Before mounting the base it is recommended that a survey is carried out to determine the suitability of the site
for RF installation. Refer to Galaxy RF Survey Kit, Operation Instructions (II1-0011).
NOTES:
• The plastic base must be mounted so that when the PCB is installed, the antenna will point vertically
(see Figure 26, Plastic Base with PCB Installed)
• The plastic base is mounted using three screws that are not provided with the installation kit.
• The plastic base must be mounted before attaching the PCB or else access to the top left-hand
mounting hole will be severely restricted.
