STI 8 Channel Wireless MonitorTM
Model: STI-34108
Thank you for purchasing this fine product. We want you to know that your satisfaction is very
important to us. We suggest you take the time to read this manual carefully to get the most from
your new product.
HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS
STI offers multiple wireless products designed to alert you of several different conditions. The
STI 8 CHANNEL WIRELESS MONITOR allows you to monitor up to 8 different STI devices
at a single convenient location. When placed in Enroll Mode, it allows you to select 1 of 8
different zones that will represent your STI device(s) best, and enrolls it when the monitor
detects the STI device's wireless signal. The STI wireless device family uses a system that also
ensures other devices that are not from STI will not get enrolled or detected. So there are no
concerns about accidental enrollment, alerts or crosstalk. The STI 8 CHANNEL WIRELESS
MONITOR allows you to select turning on a siren, sounding a chime, triggering a normally open
or normally closed switch, or turning on an external 12 VDC output. It also allows you to
choose which devices shall have latching, when selected during enrollment.
The STI 8 Channels Wireless Monitor also acts as a repeater when paired with other STI 8
CHANNEL WIRELESS MONITORS to receive wireless transmissions over long distances or
around disruptive terrain.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Zone Enrolling:
The STI 8 Channel Receiver is designed to receive ONLY wireless signals from products in the
STI Wireless Family of Products (See Back of the Installation Instructions). The STI 8 Channel
Receiver allows you to enroll up to 8 devices into zones 1 thru 8 of the receiver. The STI 8
Channel Receiver will enroll from the different sensors directly or by enrolling other mirrored
STI 8 Channel Receivers. The STI 8 Channel Receiver also enrolls up to 2 keyfobs.
When ENROLL mode is enabled DIP SW2 (ON), the LEDs for any currently enrolled zones will
turn RED to indicate that these zones are not available. The LED will flash GREEN to indicate
the zone to be enrolled. Press the push button to change to a different zone to be enrolled. The
next available zone will have the flashing GREEN LED. The receiver will not allow enrollment
in an occupied zone.
The receiver will not enter ENROLL mode while it is in DELETE mode, i.e. DIP SW7 (ON).
Zone Latching:
A zone will have "latching" when DIP SW3 (ON) at the time of enrollment.
"Latching" shows a zone alert was triggered and the alert has been cleared since then. When a
zone is in the "latched" status, the zone LED will flash RED. For example, when a door sensor
has been opened and closed, the zone LED will flash RED to indicate the door was opened
previously, but is no longer opened.
The latching is released when the user presses the push button to indicate acknowledgement of
the alert. When the "latched" status is released, the zone LED will change back to continuous
GREEN. If the zone has another alert before the "latched" status is released, the LED will
change to continuous RED in the alert state, and then back to flashing when the alert is cleared.
If Zone Latching is not selected at the time of enrollment DIP SW3 (OFF), the zone LED will
change from continuous RED back to continuous GREEN when the alert has been cleared.
Enrolling Sensors:
1. First check that the module is not in DELETE mode, DIP SW7 (OFF).
2. If the zone should have "latching", set DIP SW3 (ON).
3. Enable ENROLL mode, set DIP SW2 (ON).
4. Check that the zone flashing GREEN is correct, and note the zone(s) with RED LEDs.
5. Change the status of the sensor to be enrolled by triggering an alert on the sensor and
return it to the non-triggered state (if done manually).
6. The receiver will give a double beep and the zone LED will change to continuous RED.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 to enroll another sensor.
8. To exit ENROLL mode, set DIP SW2 (OFF).
Sensor Installation Tip:
· When first enrolling a sensor, set the "latching" on, DIP SW3 (ON), and bring the sensor
to the STI 8 CHANNEL WIRELESS MONITOR location to enroll it before mounting
Page 7
the sensor. Then, mount the sensor at its intended location and trigger an alert on the
sensor. Check that the zone on the STI 8 CHANNEL WIRELESS MONITOR to see it is
continuous RED or flashing RED, which means it received the sensor's signal. Then, if
latching is not desired, delete that zone (see Zone Deleting) and enroll the sensor again
without latching, DIP SW3 (OFF), from it mounted location.
Enrolling Mirrored (multiple) Receivers:
1. First check that the module is not in DELETE mode, DIP SW7 (OFF).
2. If the zone should have "latching", DIP SW3 (ON).
NOTE: With mirrored receivers, latching must be set during ENROLL mode on each
receiver that will use the latching feature. Mirrored receivers will not duplicate the
latched settings on the Master unless they are enrolled with latching.
3. Configure SW4 and SW5 to select the mirror number 1-4 if not the master (See Switch,
Indicator and Plug Descriptions or the receiver cover).
4. Enrolling mirrored receivers is performed in sequential pairs:
Pair Column A Column B
1 Master => Receiver 1
2 Receiver 1 => Receiver 2
3 Receiver 2 => Receiver 3
4 Receiver 3 => Receiver 4
NOTE: All sensors are enrolled only to the Master receiver. The mirrored receivers copy
the Master receiver's output (except latch settings) sequentially thru Receivers 1 - 4.
5. Set DIP SW1 and SW8 (ON) on the Master receiver.
6. Set DIP SW8 (ON) on each mirrored receiver.
7. Enable ENROLL mode, DIP SW2 (ON), on the receivers being paired together.
8. Press and release the push button on the Column A receiver (above). The Column B
receiver will give a double beep.
9. Press and release the push button on the Column B receiver (above). The Column A
receiver will give a double beep.
NOTE: If the Column B receiver was previously enrolled to the Column A receiver and
was not deleted, the Column A receiver will not double beep, but will work properly.
10. Disable ENROLL mode, DIP SW2 (OFF).
11. Press and release the push button of the Column A receiver (above). The LED's of the
Column B receiver will light in the same configuration.
Enrolling Keyfobs:
1. First check that the module is not in DELETE mode, DIP SW7 (OFF).
2. Enable ENROLL mode, set DIP SW2 (ON).
3. Press a button on the keyfob.
4. The receiver will give a double beep. Keyfobs will not be assigned to a zone LED.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to enroll another keyfob.
6. To exit ENROLL mode, set DIP SW2 (OFF).
NOTE: The STI 8 Channel Receiver will only operate with 2 keyfobs at a time. If a third
keyfob is enrolled, the keyfob enrolled first will be deleted.
Page 8
Zone Deleting:
Sensors or Mirrored Receivers:
1. Enter DELETE mode, DIP SW7 (ON). All enrolled zone LEDs will turn RED.
2. The first zone to be deleted will have the LED flashing RED.
3. Press and release the push button to cycle the flashing LED through the zones until it
reaches the zone to be deleted.
4. To delete a single zone, press and hold the push button to delete the zone with the
flashing LED for 3 seconds. The receiver will give a single beep and the LED will turn
off.
5. To delete all zones at once (including all enrolled keyfobs and the mirrored receiver),
press and hold the push button continuously. The first zone will be deleted first.
Afterwards, all other enrolled zones will flash for 3 seconds and then be deleted. The
receiver will give a single beep for the first deleted zone and a double beep the other
zones are deleted. All of the LEDs will turn off when the zone is deleted.
NOTE: You must delete all the zones at once to delete the keyfobs and/or the mirrored
receiver.

BASIC OPERATION
The STI 8 CHANNEL WIRELESS MONITOR receives 433 MHz radio signals from numerous
STI brand sensor types enrolled to one of 8 zones on the monitor. It provides feedback to the
user in the form of LED colors, onboard sounder annunciation, onboard sounder siren, switched
on or off output terminals (Form C contacts), a 3 second 12 VDC @ 75mA max. output on the
Triggered Output Plug, and 12 VDC output terminals that are powered at the same time as the
onboard sounder.
LED Operation:
LEDs perform as follows:
LED OFF - Zone not enrolled
Green LED - Zone enrolled, Normal and Non-Triggered status
RED LED - Zone enrolled, Alert status
Blinking RED LED - Zone enrolled, Latched and Non-Triggered status
Amber LED - Zone enrolled, Tamper Alert and Non-Triggered status
The LED maximum to minimum precedence order is RED, Blinking RED, AMBER, GREEN,
OFF. An LED status with higher precedence is emitted by the LED.
Onboard Sounder/Siren/Chime Operation:
If any Siren Mode is set, SW4 and/or SW5 (ON), then the onboard sounder will give a 4 KHz @
90dB sound for the Siren Mode time set when any zone alert signal is received.
NOTE: Chime mode must be turned off, SW6 (OFF), for the Siren mode to activate.
If Chime Mode is set, SW6 (ON), then the onboard sounder will sound a double beep when any
zone alert signal is received.
NOTE: Chime mode must be turned off, SW6 (OFF), for the Siren mode to activate.
12VDC Output Terminals:
The 12VDC Output Terminals will turn on for the same period as the Onboard Sounder in Siren
or Chime Mode when any zone alert signal is received. The rated current draw is 275mA.
12VDC Triggered Output Connector:
The 12VDC Triggered Output will turn on for 3 seconds when any zone alert signal is received.
The rated current draw is 75mA.
Form C Terminals:
The Form C terminals are labeled "N.O.", "COM", "N.C." for Normally Open, Common, and
Normally Closed, respectively.
When any zone has an Alert signal received and the LED changes to continuous RED, a short
circuit is made between the NO and COM, and an open circuit is made between NC and COM.
As soon as ALL zones are not in Alert mode and the each LED is no longer continuous RED, an
open circuit is made NO and COM, and a short circuit is made between NC and COM.
Page 10
Sensor Operation:
A sensor sends a 433 MHz radio signal to the receiver that will indicate one or more of the
following: Alert Triggered; Restored To Normal; Sensor Tampering; Low Battery; Lost Signal
Mirrored Receiver Operation:
The LEDs, the sounder, the siren time and the 12VDC output will duplicate the sensor settings as
they are enrolled on the Master Receiver. If LED "latching" is desired on the mirrored receiver,
this must be selected at the time of the mirrored receiver's enrollment.
NOTE: If a sensor is enrolled to a mirrored receiver that is not the Master, the next transmission
of the Master will override that sensor's LED status.
Keyfob Operation:
An STI Keyfob can be used to remotely turn on / off the LEDs, sounder, and output on the STI 8
Channel Receiver to which it has been enrolled. The STI 8 Channel Receiver will continue to
monitor the sensor signal inputs, however, even when these features have been deactivated by
the keyfob.
Low Battery / Tamper Detection / Out of Range TRANSMITTER Alerts:
If the battery is too weak, something has triggered a tamper alert signal from the
TRANSMITTER, or the TRANSMITTER has been out of range between 12 - 24 hours, the zone
LED will light AMBER to alert a need for attention to that device.
The LED will continue in this state until either:
1. the TRANSMITTER sends a restored normal message to the RECEIVER
2. the TRANSMITTER is detected by the RECEIVER
3. the TRANSMITTER is cleared from the RECEIVER memory
4. the RECEIVER loses power and has not restored the alert message yet.
