Nortek Security and Control DX-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What power supply does the Nortek Control 1-channel metal case receiver need?
The Nortek Control 1-channel receiver runs on 11-24 VDC or 12-16 VAC, so you can feed it from a DC access control power supply or from a 12 or 16 VAC transformer already on site. No separate power board is required as long as the source falls in that range.
2) Can this Nortek receiver switch a gate operator or door strike directly?
It has one Form C relay output rated one amp at 32 volts AC/DC. That is fine for a dry-contact input on a gate operator, an access control panel, or a low-current relay coil. It is not enough to drive a door strike or magnetic lock directly, so wire the Form C contacts to a separate relay or power supply trigger input for those loads.
3) What RF frequency do the transmitters have to be for this Nortek 1-channel receiver?
It receives at 303.875 MHz in the standard digital format. Transmitters must match both the frequency and that format, so a remote on a different frequency or a rolling code format will not operate it.
4) How many transmitters or codes can this receiver handle?
The receiver works with 256 discrete codes in the standard digital format. For a small gate, parking entry, or tenant door, that is the ceiling on distinct code settings you can assign before codes repeat.
5) Is this a one-channel or multi-channel receiver?
One channel only, with a single Form C relay. If you need to control two separate openings, such as a vehicle gate and a pedestrian gate, from one receiver, this single-channel unit will not do it, you would need a multi-channel receiver or a second unit.
6) Is this receiver a standalone access control unit or an add-on?
It is an RF receiver component for an electronic access control system. It takes the radio signal from a transmitter and closes a dry contact, so it supplements a gate operator, access panel, or door controller rather than replacing one. You supply the controller, the power, and the locking or gate hardware.
7) Does this Nortek receiver come in a metal enclosure for mounting in a gate cabinet?
Yes, it ships in a metal case rather than a bare board, which is what you want when it is going into an equipment cabinet, a gate operator housing, or a utility room where a plastic shell would not hold up.
