The wireless receiver module waits for the transmitters to send a check-in status signal within a specified time interval to confirm their presence and functionality. The check-in status can be verified every 12 hours, 6 hours, 12 minutes or 6 minutes. For the highest security, select the shortest check-in time interval. Selecting the longest check-in time interval consumes the least amount of battery power.

This feature changes the code sent to the OMN-RCV3 by the motion detectors, door contacts and remote controls after every transmission, thereby ensuring greater security.

This feature ensures higher stability in noisy environments where frequency interference is a potential problem. The Error Correction Algorithm can recover a transmitter’s original message that has been distorted due to frequency interference.

Omnia can support up to 8 (Spectra) or 16 (Digiplex/DigiplexNE) remote controls without occupying any zones in the system. Each remote control (OMN-RCT1) is assigned to a particular user, enabling the receiver to identify who used a particular remote control and what action was performed. This information can then be reported to the central monitoring station. Each button or combination of buttons on the remote control can be individually programmed to perform one of either 13 (Spectra) or 15 (Digiplex/DigiplexNE) specific actions, such as arming, disarming, generating panic alarms and activating PGMs.

To verify if the Omnia receiver is effectively receiving signals from the transmitters, their relative signal strengths can be viewed through any keypad connected to the control panel.

Omnia motion detectors, door contacts and remote controls are assigned to the OMN-RCV3 using a simple enrollement procedure.

Omnia works with Spectra (except 1758 and 1758EX), Digiplex and DigiplexNE systems by detecting which control panel it is connected to and adjusting its internal parameters to function accordingly. An industry first, this technology eliminates the need for different modules for each line. As a result, stocking and servicing are greatly facilitated as only one model needs to be kept on hand, resulting in lower servicing and inventory costs.

The Omnia receiver module is separate from the control panel, and therefore can be installed in a different location, unlike an RF control panel. Since the best location for both a wireless receiver and a control panel is seldom the same, the freedom of a modular system ensures the best possible reception and security.
