SMART RF Base Station - RS485

Rev 1.20

RoHS



The SMART RF Base Station is an advanced 2-Way

433mhz transceiver that interfaces directly to compat-

ible control panels via an RS485 LAN connection. There

are two built in radio transmitters and receivers with

dual diversity internal antennas. Indicator lights display

the status at all times while front and rear tampers pro-

tect against unauthorised access.

Multiple RF120’s receivers can be installed on a single

LAN creating a network of access points where RF

devices can communicate across larger areas.

Table 1: RF120 Compatibility

The 2-way communication is encrypted with rolling

code and anti substitution technology making the

RF120 an ideal choice for your wireless security system.

Receiver Addressing

Each receiver ﬁtted to the system must be assigned a

unique address on the LAN. The RF120 includes a DIP

switch for quick address selection. The following table

shows the address setting for each keypad as well as the

number of keypad devices each panels can support.

Table 2: Receiver Address

Note

Only 1 receiver can be assigned to each address.

All receivers are supplied from the factory set to

address 1. You must power cycle the panel or

perform a LAN scan whenever you change the ad-

dress. Currently only 4 receivers are supported.

DIP Switch 5

LAN Termination if required can be enabled by

placing switch 5 in the ON position.

Tamper Switch Operation

In your installation one or both of the case tamper

switches may not be needed. Setting switch 1 to the ON

position will disable the rear case tamper and switch 2 in

the ON position will disable the front cover tamper. From

the factory both tampers are enabled. The housing must

be correctly installed for the rear tamper to function cor-

rectly.

Switch 1 ON = Disable Rear Tamper

Switch 2 ON = Disable Front Tamper

Bosch RF Device Compatibility

The RF120 Base Station is capable of supporting selected

Bosch RF peripherals like PIR’s, Reed Switches and Shock

Sensors etc. You must enable Bosch compatibility mode

in panel programming, MENU 6-2-0, Option 8 to enable

this feature.

For best performance, if you are not using Bosch RF

peripherals then you should leave this option disabled.

Mounting Considerations:

• The receiver should be mounted in a location that is

central relative to where the wireless devices will be

mounted.

• The receiver should be mounted on a vertical sur-

face with at least 30 cm clearance from other objects

as the antennas are internal.

• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas with signiﬁcant

metal or electrical wiring.

• Avoid mounting the receiver in areas where it may

be exposed to moisture or high humidity.

• Reception distances are generally improved with

higher mounting locations and with no metal ob-

jects near the unit.

• If range is not achievable due to environmental or

speciﬁcation limitations then add additional receiv-

P/N: RF120IRG Rev 1.20 Page 3

ers as required in strategic locations. Up to 4 receiv-

ers can be added.

Installation

The receiver should be installed onto a solid surface

using suitable mounting ﬁxtures. Wiring should only be

performed while the control panel is powered down.

Step 1) Unlock and remove the front of the housing by

turning the cam lock anti-clockwise [Figure 4]

then release the spring clips and remove the

PCB, This will expose the mounting and tamper

screw holes.

Step 2) Mark out the location of the mounting holes

and the cable exit hole before drilling out all

points as necessary. Secure the case using ﬁx-

tures appropriate for the wall construction type.

Make sure to ﬁt the rear tamper screw when

mounting as shown.

Step 3) Feed any wires into the case via the knockouts

provided and then replace the PCB by inserting

from the terminal side ﬁrst and then clipping

the other side in.

Step 4) Set the address for the module and connect

and necessary wiring. Unused wires should be

insulated to prevent short circuits.

Step 5) Once all connections are secure and the case is

mounted, secure the front case and lock in place

by turning the cam lock in a clockwise direction.

Receiver Operation

At start up the control panel will conﬁgure the receiver

with all the necessary information. The RF120 will

receive information and then send an acknowledge to

the RF device if it supports 2-way communication. For RF

devices that are only one way then no acknowledge is

sent.

Where two or more RF120 receivers are required to

achieve the desired coverage area there can be overlap-

ping areas where multiple receivers detect the same RF

device. The system will determine the receiver with the

strongest signal level and process it accordingly. The

seamless operation and wide coverage area using a LAN

connection allows easy deployment of receivers over the

full 1km control panel LAN length.

Receiver LED Indicators

The RF120 Base Station includes RED and GREEN LED

indicators which provide visual feedback during system

operation. See Table 3 for information on the indicator

colours and meanings.

Figure 6: RF120 LED Indicators

Module Indicator Lights

Position Colour Meaning Meaning

1 Red RF Transmit

Blinks each time a packet is sent to a device. In most

cases this will blink as an acknowledge is sent to a 2-way

device. Blinks each time a valid RF packet is received.

2 Green RF Receive Blinks each time a valid RF packet is received.

3 Red Trouble

Turns on when the receiver has detected a fault. This

could be a tamper or jamming levels exceeded. For a

self diagnostic issue the LED will slowly blink.

4 Green Status Blinks each time the system is polled by the control

panel.

MENU 6-2-6 and press OK. Select the button to

conﬁgure and press OK.

6) The type of assignment available for each button is

determined by the button’s function.

The button functions Disarm, Arm, Part 1 and Part

2 must be assigned to one or more areas. The

button function Door must be assigned to a door,

button function Output to an output and button

function Macro to a macro.

7) Using macros, it is possible to conﬁgure a single

button to open multiple doors or to operate

multiple outputs.

Note

MENU 6-2-6 SMART RF Keyfob Function is only

eﬀective when using the RF110 keyfobs. Other

keyfobs have ﬁxed button functions that cannot be

conﬁgured separately.

Optional RF110FK Fascia Kit

An option fascia kit is available to allow customers to

personalise their keyfob or to match corporate colours

etc. Each kit is supplied with 7 diﬀerent coloured facias

which have been pre installed onto top covers.

To change a fascia simply remove the screw from the

back of the keyfob, lift oﬀ the existing top cover and

fascia then replace with the new colour. Note keyfob

rubber keymats are not supplied with the kits.
