RF Portal (cont’d)
Connecting the RF Portal
The RS485 (AB) line of the RF Portal must be wired in parallel (daisy-chain configuration) with the RS485
(AB) line of any keypads connected to the system. The RF Portal requires 12 Vd.c. (range 9.0 V to 14.0 V)
and 55 mA. This can be supplied from the control panel power supply or from a remote power supply if the
distance causes a large voltage drop on the cable.
Configuring the RF Portal
The added RF Portal is configured into the system on exiting from engineer mode. If the message XX Mod
Added [<],[>] To View is displayed, the system has recognised that a new module is present. Press the A or
B keys to confirm that the Receiver has been added. If this message is not displayed or the Receiver is not on
the list of added modules, then the Receiver is not communicating with the control panel or has been set to the
same address as the Receiver already connected to the system.
Attaching the Plastic Box Lid
Place the lid over the plastic base then firmly attach with the four self-tapping screws provided.
