The 1101 Series Wireless Universal Transmitters are two‑way supervisory wireless transmitters typically used for door and window applications. The 1101 features built-in optional 128‑bit AES encryption.
The transmitter provides a cover tamper, magnetic reed switch, and an onboard terminal block to allow for external contact wiring. Both sets of contacts, internal and external, can be programmed to operate at the same time. This allows two independent zones to operate from one 1101.
The 1101 Series also features Disarm/Disable functionality. When this option is enabled, Zone Tripped messages are disabled when the system is disarmed.

The transmitter provides a Survey LED capability to allow one person to confirm communication with the wireless receiver or panel while the cover is removed.
- With the cover removed, hold the transmitter in the exact desired location.
- Press the tamper switch to send data to the panel and determine if communication is confirmed or faulty.
Wire the External Contacts (Optional)
The 1101 Universal Transmitter provides internal and external contacts that may be used at the same time to yield two individual reporting zones from one transmitter. This functionality makes the 1101 perfect for applications where any type of normally open or normally closed contact are in close proximity. DMP recommends using 18 or 22 AWG unshielded wire for contact connections.
- Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the two external contact terminal screws.
- Insert external contact wiring into the 1101 terminal block and tighten the screws.
- Connect the other ends of the wires to the external contact as either normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) without an end‑of‑line resistor.
- Snap the transmitter cover back onto the base.

- Supervision Time
- Replace the Battery
- Sensor Reset
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.
1. To remove the lid/cover, push the button on the end of the transmitter and separate the two halves.
2. Remove the old battery, observe polarity, and place the new battery in the holder.
3. Snap the cover back on the transmitter.
Once the battery is replaced, a sensor reset is required at the keypad to clear the LOBAT message. On an LCD keypad, press and hold 2 for two seconds. On a graphic touchscreen keypad, press RESET. Enter your user code, if required. The keypad displays SENSORS OFF followed by SENSORS ON.
