BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers
 Auxiliary Receivers require an external
power source (
+12V and GND; see page 17-5
for connections).
BR 4200 Zone Receivers monitor both zone
events and Band Removal events. BR 4200
Auxiliary Receivers only monitor Band
Removal events. Depending upon your facility’s
physical layout, Zone Receivers may be enough
to ensure full Band Removal coverage.
 Auxiliary Receivers monitor
approximately 40 feet outward in every
direction; therefore, they should be
positioned 70 feet* apart to avoid
confusion about the location of a Band
Removal alarm.
However, to determine where Auxiliary
Receivers may be needed, a test BR42 Tag
should be used to check every potential location
in the area being covered. This includes storage
rooms, laundry rooms, restrooms, etc. The idea
is to be absolutely certain that there is no area
where a BR42 Tag can be removed without
being detected.
 Auxiliary Receivers can be positioned in
nurseries, doorways, hallways, or any
other area that coverage is desired (
see
Figure 5.5
).
 When choosing the exact location and
number of Auxiliary Receivers, be sure to
consider the facility’s structure (i.e.,
concrete/metal lathe as opposed to drywall
walls or foil-backed ceiling tiles). Also
keep a minimum distance of 4 feet away
from fluorescent lighting and air ducts.
When installing BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers,
consider the following:
 BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers are only
used in BR 4200 Systems.
 BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers are always
mounted in 4”x4”x2” electrical boxes.
* The distances listed here are approximate. Each
facility should consider its unique environment when
positioning Receivers.
