POWERING UP AND LINKING – PRELIMINARY NOTES TAU-BS-01-BL and TAU-BSB-23W-01-BL need to be powered up with the supplied batteries. Linking is the operation through which these devices are “wirelessly connected” to a TAU-TRM-01, TAU-CEM-01 or TAU-EXM-01 Taurus network device. POWERING UP – FIRST TIME USE Use this procedure the first time you power up a TAU-BS-01-BL or a TAU-BSB-23W-01-BL. 1) Make sure the Link / program switch is set on “ON”. 2) Insert the two supplied batteries into their device’s lodgments. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device. POWERING UP – DEVICE LINKED TO THE SYSTEM Use this procedure when a TAU-BS-01-BL or a TAU-BSB-23W-01-BL is successfully linked to its Taurus system and you have to extract one or both batteries (e.g. batteries substitution). 1) Reinsert the battery or both batteries into their lodgments. Do not touch the Link / program switch. If performing a batteries substitution, use two brand new batteries and substitute both of them. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device. POWERING UP – RECOVERY Use this procedure when you fail to link successfully a TAU-BS-01-BL or a TAU-BSB-23W-01-BL or you want to link it again. 1) Move alternatively the Link / program switch 5 times. 2) Set the Link / program switch on “ON”. 3) Insert the two supplied batteries into their device’s lodgments. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.

LINKING – WAKE-UP “Wake-up” linking consists in associating one or more child devices to the Taurus system altogether in a single operation. Wake-up is performed either through the TauREX software or the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01 keyboard-screen interface; it CANNOT be done through TAU-EXM-01 devices. 1) Create the “virtual model” of the base sounder device either on TauREX or on the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01. 2) Power-up the base sounder (either “first time use” or “recovery”). 3) Set the Link / program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”. 4) Trigger the wake-up procedure either from TauREX or from the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01. 5) Wait the end of the “wake-up” linking procedure. 6) Check on TauREX or from TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01 for linking success.
Consult their user manual. LINKING – ONE-BY-ONE “One-by-one” linking consists in associating one child device at a time to the Taurus system. This operation is performed either through the TauREX software or the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01 keyboard-screen interface; it CANNOT be done through TAU-EXM-01 devices. 1) Create the “virtual model” of the child device either on TauREX or on the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01. 2) Trigger the linking procedure either from TauREX or from the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01. 3) Power-up the child device (either “first time use” or “recovery”). 4) Set the child device’s Link / program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”. 5) Wait the end of the “one-by-one” linking procedure. 6) Check on TauREX or from TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01 for linking success.

BATTERY FAULTS AND BATTERY SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURE When one or both batteries are low in charge, a specific fault message is routed to the control panel. If such event occurs: 1) Remove the safety screw. 2) Remove the detector / plastic cover from its base. 3) Remove the batteries cover. 4) Extract both batteries.
When a low battery condition is indicated, both batteries must be changed altogether. Batteries must be brand new. Do not touch the Link / program switch. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.
5) Insert both new batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks. See POWERING UP – DEVICE LINKED TO THE SYSTEM.
6) Check, through the indicator LED, that the device is in normal condition.
7) Reinstall the batteries cover.
8) Reinstall the detector / plastic cover.
9) Reinstall the safety screw.
TESTING
Test the base sounders as follows:
1) Trigger an alarm condition (call point activation, approved detector aerosol / heat testers).
2) Check the acoustic alarm output of the base sounder.
3) Check the visual alarm output of the base sounder (TAU-BSB-23W-01-BL only).
4) Remove the alarm condition.
5) Check that a normal condition persists (i.e. test smoke can stagnate in a detector’s smoke chamber causing the alarm to be triggered again).
Local safety standards may require you to test these devices on a regular basis.
