PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DXS-73 is a photoelectric smoke alarm with a built-in transmitter designed for use with Linear’s DXS and DX Format receivers. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its companion receiver. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present.

The digital DXS code format features over a million possible codes. The DXS transmitters are precoded at the factory to unique codes, so no fi eld coding is required. The DXS-73 can send three different codes: alarm, test and low battery status.

For versatility, any transmitter can be programmed into any receiver channel. Receivers must be programmed to the transmitter’s code before system testing and operation.

Refer to the receiver’s instructions for details on programming. The unit is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. The battery is supplied with the transmitter and can power the unit for up to fi ve years. Every hour, the DXS-73 will send a status transmission to the receiver. The hourly signal updates the receiver to the transmitter’s condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the receiver can determine if a transmitter has a low battery. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level the alarm will sound low battery beeps and a low battery signal will be sent to the receiver with status reports (some receivers can report low
