2. OPEN RECEIVER
WARNING: THIS
PRODUCT SHOULD NOT
BE USED IN LIFE
Linear’s Xtended Range FM receivers and transmitters are designed for use in various
wireless remote control applications. The Model XR-D serial data output receiver is used for
specialty O.E.M. data acquisition and processing systems. When the Model XR-D receiver
detects a signal from its companion transmitter(s), it will output 9600 baud ASCII serial data
through its RS-232 style interface in “real-time” (no buffering) as the transmitted data is
received.

SAFETY APPLICATIONS.
FCC Rules allow
unlicensed high-power
transmissions at or near
the operating frequency
of this product which
may interfere with, or
even disable, normal
operation of this radio
device.

BOARD
The XR-D receiver’s serial data output contains all of the information that can be sent from
any type of Linear’s Xtended Range transmitters. In a typical installation, the receiver’s output
terminals would be connected to a computer through a user supplied custom made cable.
The computer would run user supplied software written to suit the needs of the application.
It could display and log the transmitted unit number, channel number, bank number, alarm
state, battery condition, status reports, and transmitter type. Alternately, the XR-D could be
connected directly to a line printer for specialty or diagnostic purposes.
SUPERVISED
STATIONARY
RECEIVER
Power for the XR-D receiver can come from an external regulated 12 VDC power supply
(Linear Model T-124DC) or from a 12-volt battery. A diode protects the unit from reverse
power polarity. The XR-D draws about 30 mA current.

REFERENCE
CARD FITS IN
1ST SLOT
Two antennas (sold separately) are available for the XR-D. The Model ANT-1A is an 8-inch
“rubber duck” antenna for short range applications (less than 1 mile). The ANT-1A requires
a CON-180A (straight) connector to mate the antenna to the transmitter. For a right angle
antenna, use the CON-180A plus the CON-90A.The Model ANT-2 is a 3-foot whip antenna
for use in long range or difficult installations where more range from the XR-D is required. A
common 9-foot 1/4 wave CB whip antenna can also be used with the XR-D for maximum
range.

5. MOUNT RECEIVER CASE
If using the ANT-1A antenna: For best range mount the XT/XR unit to a metal plate with a
minimum size of 12" x 12". The ANT-1A antenna should extend above the mounting plate
and be free of obstructions. If the ANT-1A antenna cannot be mounted in the open, consider
using an extension coaxial cable with PL-259 connectors to move the antenna’s location.
