Data Guide

Warning: Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (“RF”)

products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery

or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property

damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial

settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (“Life and

Property Safety Situations”).

Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and

Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but

only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and

in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without

limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility of any

Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to incorporate

appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life and

Property Safety Situation application.

Do not use this or any Linx product to trigger an action directly

from the data line or RSSI lines without a protocol or encoder/

have a frequency hopping protocol built in.

Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide.

Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could

cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could

cause product failure which is not immediately evident.

Do not make any physical or electrical modifications to any Linx

product. This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certifications

and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident.

MS Series encoders and decoders are designed

for remote control applications. They allow the

status of up to eight buttons or contacts to be

securely transferred via a wireless link. The large

twenty-four bit address size makes transmissions

highly unique, minimizing the possibility of

multiple devices having conflicting addresses.

The MS Series decoder allows the recognition

of individual output lines to be easily defined

for each transmitter by the manufacturer or the

outputs make the MS Series truly versatile.
