Appendix G: Peripherals Galaxy Flex Installer Manual216RF PortalThe RF Portal is a wireless interface for the Honeywell V2 Domonial and Alpha transmitterrange. It allows the control panel to receive signals from wireless detectors and radiokeyfobs.All Domonial sensors and 2-way keyfobs with panic buttons are supported by this device,using the SECOM Alpha and V2 protocols. The Flex 100 system can support: 8 RF Portals 88 wireless sensors1,2 98 wireless keyfobsAll wireless transmitters with model numbers 58xx are from a different radio range and areNOT compatible with the RF Portal.Planning a wireless systemPlan to install a sufficient number of RF Portals to provide wireless coverage around allparts of the area to be protected. This should include all areas where either detectors orportable fobs and panic buttons will be used. RF Portals will automatically communicate with RF detectors and fobs which give thehighest received signal strength. There is no link between individual RF Portals and zones or users. The Panel will automatically switch to an alternate RF Portal if the signal path becomesblocked. Adding an increased number of RF Portals around the building will increase thenumber of possible signal paths for each detector or fob. At least one RF Portal must be installed for every 24 detectors. Beyond this limit therewill be a risk of signal collisions.Order of installation1. Install the RF Portals.2. Configure the RF Portals and adjust the number of Virtual RIOs.3. Program the wireless zones and learn the serial number of each detector.4. Learn the keyfobs onto each of the required users.1 A maximum of 3 RIO addresses can be enabled per RF Portal.2 When mixing V2 and Alpha protocol RF devices in a system it is recommended that only 2 RIOs areenabled per RF Portal.
