Description
Specification

The Trikdis RF-S8 wireless receiver brings S8 series wireless devices into the alarm system: motion and door contacts, smoke and water detectors, sirens and keyfobs — with no cabling. One RF-S8 is enough for a whole panel.

Features

Communication:

Radio communication at 868 MHz, 25 mW transmit power
Range up to 500 m line-of-sight
One RF-S8 is enough for the whole wireless zone list

Connection:

Connects over the RS485 bus to the Trikdis FLEXi SP3 panel (firmware v1.22 or newer): +DC, −DC, A, B

Technical data:

Power supply 9-26 V DC · 50 mA standby, 100 mA transmitting
Operating temperature −10 °C … +50 °C
Dimensions 92 × 62 × 25 mm

Please note! S8 series wireless devices work only with a Trikdis RF-S8 receiver. The RF-S8 connects over the RS485 bus to the FLEXi SP3 panel (firmware v1.22 or newer), and one RF-S8 is enough per panel. S8 devices communicate at 868 MHz and are therefore not compatible with the 433 MHz LoRa family (RF-LORA, M4).

Frequently asked questions

What is a Security panel?

A Security panel or Control panel is the primary controller and supervisor of a security system.

A Security panel or Control panel is the primary controller and supervisor of a security system. It is a computer that arms and disarms the security systems, communicates with each installed component, like sensors and sounds the alarm when a security zone is breached, and optionally communicates with an alarm monitoring company.

What happens if I loose my phone or it gets stolen? Will my alarm system be accessible to them?

Hopefully not. Basically, the phone should be protected from any access by using a password or pattern or fingerprint. In addition, you can use password request when you start the Protegus application and also when you want remotely control something. At least one of them should be active, but two or three of these steps will make it pretty difficult for anyone to access your alarm system!

What is Protegus 2, and does it require a subscription?

Protegus 2 is the 2nd generation of Trikdis's cloud app: control your alarm system from your phone and get instant notifications. We recommend it for every current internet-connected Trikdis device. The user app is free; the paid, usage- (customer-) based tier is for monitoring stations, installers and companies.

Can the Trikdis communicator's firmware be updated?

Yes, using the TrikdisConfig programming software (via USB or remotely). The latest firmware is recommended for the best compatibility and security.

Can I try Protegus 2 before buying?

Yes: Protegus 2 can be tried on a live demo system, without installation or purchase — from a browser and from the mobile app too. This lets you see in advance what arming, notifications, and system status look like on a working alarm system.

Is there a Wi-Fi Trikdis communicator device?

There is no standalone Trikdis communicator that communicates exclusively over Wi-Fi, but the SIM-card communicators can be extended with the W485 Wi-Fi expansion module. There is also a purely Wi-Fi version, as well as a Wi-Fi + SIM 4G version, of the FLEXi SP3 alarm panel.

Which devices can forward SMS received on the SIM card to the customer's phone?

Currently the FLEXi SP3, the CG17, and the GV17 support SMS forwarding; this feature is not yet available on the other devices.

How long does Protegus 2 store events?

Protegus 2 typically retains the event list for up to two months; with a large volume of events, this period may shorten to as little as one month.

Why won't the TRIKDIS communicator start with a Paradox SP4000 alarm panel, or why does it keep restarting?

The AUX power output of the Paradox SP4000 alarm panel has limited load capacity. In certain cases — whether using a dedicated or a universal TRIKDIS communicator — the communicator's current draw can place too much load on the AUX output. As a result, the communicator may become unstable, restart, or fail to operate correctly.

Experience shows that the problem is usually solved by powering the TRIKDIS communicator directly from the alarm panel's battery terminals (+/-) instead of from the AUX output. This provides a stable power supply and eliminates the restart or operational issues.

Note: Before changing the wiring, always check that the system complies with the manufacturer's specifications and that the total load on the power supply does not exceed the permitted value.
