Transmitters

As experienced systems integrators, Gerriko Technology Solutions has sourced a range of auxilliary transmitters to complement the other components on offer. This includes optional Roboguard components such as Roboguard remotes and the universal transmitter.

Roboguard remote key fob

Roboguard handheld remotes are used to remotely control the tele-cable output channels from the Roboguard HQ and to provide additional functions to the Roboguard system. The remote is required if you want to remotely the arm/disarm the HQ siren function and/or use the panic or silent panic functions. The remote can also be used with a Roboguard wall-mounted keypad to trigger an output.

The handheld remote has four buttons any one of which can be assigned a function, depending upon which zone is programmed into the HQ and whether the HQ is remote-enabled. For example, one button could be used for Panic. Thus when the HQ receives a panic signal the HQ will activate its panic port and its siren. Another button could be set as Remote Assistance Call. In this case the HQ gives a call/doorbell sound from its speaker. The most common function is Arm/Disarm. This is used to arm and disarm the siren and output ports of the HQ. This is critical for you to enter and leave your property without triggering a siren.

All remotes have a clone function whereby they can learn the codes of another remote. This makes it possible to clone many remotes on site (for other family members) from one master remote.

Roboguard wireless transmitter

Roboguard Transmitters are used to inter-connect external systems (i.e. non-Roboguard devices) into the Roboguard system. A transmitter will either transmit a Roboguard intruder or a Roboguard remote alarm code when triggered by the externally connected system. This means that electric fence alarms, pump alarms, in fact any product that has an electronic or electrical output can now be added into the Roboguard system.

A Roboguard universal transmitter (uTx) will also supervise the communications link between the Roboguard HQ or receiver and report Roboguard trouble alarms if there is a problem. This supervision process can be used to indicate a problem if there was a fault with the external system. For example the Maximum Active Perimeter Beams will provide a warning the transmission strength is being affected by bad weather. This warning can then be transmitted to a Roboguard decoder panel via the uTx.

Each universal transmitter has four inputs that can be wired in from the external product. The universal transmitter will monitor these inputs (alarm outputs from the external product) and will send an intruder or tamper signal depending on its configuration.

The Universal transmitter can be also configured as a repeater station with the addition of a Universal Receiver. In this configuration the transmitter will transmit any received Roboguard signal with a user configured delay. This is useful for sites where radio signal transmission is problematic.
