Installation Guide for Security Brands 14-RTE433 Wireless Exit Button Kit

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides installation and setup instructions for the 14-RTE433 Wireless Exit Button Kit. The system consists of an RTE Unit (Exit Button) and a Transceiver. Key requirements include a 12-24 VAC/DC power source and mounting the transceiver inside a weatherproof enclosure, as it is not weatherproof. Always ensure the gate path is clear before performing pairing or testing procedures.

Components Overview

The kit includes the following main components:

• RTE Unit: Features an Exit Button, Key Switch (for enabling/disabling), and a Lock for the faceplate.
• Transceiver: Contains connection terminals, a Programming Button, and status LEDs (Power, Relay Status, Programming).
• Hardware: Includes carriage bolts, hex nuts, and keys.

Installation and Mounting

Follow these steps to install the hardware:

1. RTE Unit: Unlock and remove the faceplate. Use the included carriage bolts and hex nuts to attach the unit to the pedestal.
2. Transceiver: Mount the transceiver inside the gate operator housing using Tek screws, zip ties, or similar fasteners. Ensure it is protected from the elements.

Wiring the Transceiver

The transceiver must be connected to a 12-24 VAC/DC power source and the gate operator. Terminals vary by manufacturer; consult your gate operator manual for specific connections.

• Power: Connect the 12-24 VAC/DC power source to the Power terminals on the transceiver.
• Relay: Connect the NO (Normally Open) and COM (Common) terminals to the gate operator's input terminals.

Pairing the RTE Unit

To pair the RTE unit with the transceiver:

1. Remove the transceiver cover and hold the Programming Button for 5 seconds.
2. Remove the RTE unit faceplate.
3. Hold down both Pairing Buttons on the RTE unit until the Status LED flashes.
4. Release Button 2, but continue holding Button 1 until the Status LED flashes again.
5. The transceiver relay should click, and the Programming LED should go out, indicating pairing is complete.
6. Press the Exit Button to confirm the gate/door opens.

Operation and Key Switch

The RTE unit can be disabled or enabled at any time using the provided key switch located below the exit button. When the unit is disabled, the exit button will not trigger the gate.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to these solutions:

• Gate held open: Ensure the gate is closed. Follow the re-pairing procedure or press the Relay Release Button on the transceiver.
• Gate opening/closing without input: Perform the transceiver reset procedure.
• Limited range: Check the position of the blue wire coil (antenna) on the transceiver. It must be secured in the terminal block labeled ANTENNA.

Reset Procedure

To reset the transceiver and unpair all devices:

1. Remove the transceiver cover.
2. Press and hold the Programming Button until the Programming LED starts to flash (hold for approximately 30 seconds).
3. Once the flashing stops, all devices are unpaired. Replace the cover.
