Transmitter Programming
The Expander can program three different types of Inovonics transmitters:
• SECURITY transmitters are devices like universal transmitters (door/window sensors), pendants, wireless smoke
detectors, and wireless PIRs that send alarm, restoral, and check-in signals.
• COMMAND transmitters are devices that arm and disarm a system and send programmable command signals (such
as “Call the police,” or “Open the garage door”) to the control panel.
• ALT ARMING (Alternative Arming) transmitters are Security transmitters that are given the capability to arm and
disarm a system (like a Command transmitter). When a Security transmitter is programmed as ALT ARMING, its
alarm signal is interpreted by the Expander and sent to the panel as a system arming signal, and its restoral signal is
interpreted and sent as a system disarming signal. Unlike Command transmitters, Alt Arming transmitters can be
assigned point codes that monitor their check-in signals, tamper condition, and battery condition.
To set up the Expander for programming transmitters, locate the programming cable supplied with the Expander and plug one
end into the Expander’s programming header. (See F igure5.) When all transmitters have been programmed, remove the cable
from the Expander programming header, store the cable in the open area to the left of the Expander’s printed circuit board, and
put the Expander’s cover back on.
