XR Series – Add Wireless Receiver

To add a DMP wireless receiver, connect it to the panel’s XBUS using the provided 4-wire harness, program a house code in the panel’s System Options to activate wireless operation, then briefly reset the panel to register the receiver.

The 1100X Series Wireless Receiver provides up to 100 wireless zones for XR150 Series panels and up to 500 wireless zones for XR550 Series panels. The 1100XE features 128-bit AES encryption. The 1100X also provides two-way communication using 900 MHz frequency hopping-spreadspectrum technology.

  1. Program the panel
  • At a keypad, enter 6653 (PROG) to access the PROGRAMMER menu.
  • In SYSTEM OPTIONS, program a HOUSE CODE between 1 and 50. See House Code Explained for more information.
  • (1100XE only) At the 1100 ENCRYPTION prompt, select ALL to only add encrypted wireless devices to the system. Select BOTH to allow both encrypted and non-encrypted wireless devices to be programmed.
  • (1100XE only) The default passphrase appears at ENTER PASSPHRASE. Press CMD to keep the default. Press any select key or area to change the passphrase and enter an 8-character hexadecimal string (0-9, A-F).
  • Press CMD until STOP displays. Press a top row select key or area to save programming.

2. Select the location

  • Choose a central location between the DMP panel and the wireless transmitters to ensure good signal strength.
  • Do not use shielded wire for connections between the panel and the receiver. 

3. Wire the receiver

  • Connect one end of the four-wire harness to the panel’s XBUS header (e.g., J23 header on an XR500 series panel) and the other end to the panel header on the wireless receiver.
  • Install the receiver and ensure the case tamper switch makes contact with the wall, securing the unit with screws.

Press the tamper switch to send data to the panel and determine if communication is confirmed or faulty.

Confirmed: If communication is confirmed, for each press or release of the tamper switch, the LED blinks immediately on and immediately off.

Faulty: If communication is faulty, the LED remains on for about 8 seconds or flashes multiple times in quick succession. Relocate the receiver until the LED confirms clear communication.

DMP recommends using 18 or 22-gauge unshielded wire for all keypad and LX-Bus circuits. Do Not use twisted pair or shielded wire for LX-Bus and Keypad Bus data circuits. To maintain auxiliary power integrity when using 22-gauge wire do not exceed 500 feet. When using 18-gauge wire do not exceed 1,000 feet. Install an additional power supply to increase the wire length or add devices.

Maximum distance for any one circuit (length of wire) is 2,500 feet regardless of the wire gauge. This distance can be in the form of one long wire run or multiple branches with all wiring totaling no more than 2,500 feet. As wire distance from the panel increases, DC voltage on the wire decreases.

Maximum number of devices per 2,500 feet circuit is 40.

Maximum voltage drop between the panel (or auxiliary power supply) and any device is 2.0VDC. If the voltage at any device is less than the required level, add an auxiliary power supply at the end of the circuit. When voltage is too low, the devices cannot operate properly. Refer to the panel installation guide and LX-Bus/Keypad Bus Wiring Application Note (LT-2031).
