4. Setup and Installation

This module is designed to integrate seamlessly with Risco Agility security systems. Follow these general steps for installation:

1. Mounting: Choose a suitable location for the I/O module, ensuring it is within wireless range of your Agility central panel and close to the wired peripherals it will connect to. Secure the module to a wall or flat surface using appropriate fasteners.
2. Wiring Peripherals: Connect your wired sensors (e.g., door contacts, motion detectors) to the 4 input terminals (NO, NC, EOL) as required by your system configuration. Connect any devices to be controlled (e.g., lights, sirens) to the 4 relay output terminals. Refer to the wiring diagrams in the detailed installation guide for specific connections.
3. X-10 Integration: If utilizing home automation, connect the X-10 adapter and configure the 16 X-10 outputs according to your home automation system's requirements.
4. Power Connection: Connect the local transformer with the rechargeable secondary battery to the module's power input. Ensure the power supply meets the specified voltage and current requirements (14.4VDC/0.5A minimum or 9VAC/0.5A minimum).
5. Wireless Enrollment: Follow the instructions in your Risco Agility central panel's user manual to enroll the RW132I04000A wireless I/O module into your security system. This typically involves putting the panel into enrollment mode and activating the module.
6. Testing: After installation and enrollment, thoroughly test all connected inputs and outputs to ensure proper functionality and communication with the central panel.

5. Operating Instructions

The Risco RW132I04000A Wireless I/O Module functions as an extension of your Risco Agility security system. Its operation is primarily managed through the central security panel.

• Input Monitoring: The module transmits the status of its 4 wired inputs (e.g., open/closed, alarm) wirelessly to the Agility central panel. These inputs will behave as configured zones within your security system.
• Output Control: The 4 relay outputs can be controlled by the Agility central panel based on system events (e.g., arming/disarming, alarm activation) or user commands. Refer to your Agility panel's manual for programming output actions.
• X-10 Home Automation: The 16 X-10 outputs allow for integration with X-10 compatible home automation devices. These can be controlled via the Agility panel or a dedicated X-10 controller, depending on your setup.

For detailed operation and programming of zones and outputs, consult the user manual for your specific Risco Agility central security panel.
