1101 Universal Transmitter
Description
The 1101 is a two input transmitter that is typically used for door/window applications. The 1101 provides two 
internal magnetic reed switches and an on-board terminal block to allow for external contact wiring. Both sets 
of contacts, internal and external, can be programmed to operate at the same time allowing for two independent 
zones from one transmitter. Refer to the panel programming guide for zone programming information.
Using the on-board LED the 1101 Universal Transmitter provides built-in survey capability to allow for single-person 
installations, eliminating the requirement for an external survey kit. A transmitter mounting bracket is included to 
make the installation quick and easy. For added security, an internal case tamper switch is provided. 
The 1101 Transmitter operates with the XR500 Series Command Processor™ panels or XR100 Series Command 
Processor™ panels using the 1100X Receiver or with the XRSuper6, XR20, and XR40 Command Processor™ panels using 
the 1100D Receiver.

Transmitter Serial Number
For your convenience, an additional pre-printed serial number label is included. Prior to installing the device, 
record the serial number or place the pre-printed serial number label on the panel programming sheet. This number 
is required during programming.Asneeded,usethezonenameandnumberlabeltoidentifyaspecictransmitter.
Programming the Transmitter in the Panel
Refer to the XR500 Series Programming Guide (LT-0679), XR100 Series Programming Guide (LT-0896), or the 
XRSuper6/XR20/XR40ProgrammingGuide(LT-0305)asneeded.ProgramthedeviceasazoneinZone Information 
during panel programming. At the Serial Number: prompt, enter the eight-digit serial number, including leading 
zeros. Continue to program the zone as directed in the panel programming guide. 
Note: When a receiver is installed, powered up, or the panel is reset, the supervision time for transmitters is reset.  
If the receiver has been powered down for more than one hour, wireless transmitters may take up to an additional 
hour to send a supervision message unless tripped, tampered, or powered up. This operation extends battery life for 
transmitters. A missing message may display on the keypad until the transmitter sends a supervision message.
