LINKING
The system is waiting to achieve a wireless child device (for further information refer to the translator’s or the Wirelex configuration software’s literature):

Link switch

1) Move the link switch’s cursor from ON to the opposite side of its run (we will
call it BLANK, since it carries no indication). LED indicators signal “Linking to the system” (picture 2).

Linking is successful when:

a) the translator indicates so (check translator’s literature)

OR

b) the Wirelex software indicates so (check the Wirelex’s literature).

If linking is unsuccessful: 2) Check if evident mistakes were made.

Picture 2

3) Perform the LINKING RECOVERY.

LINKING RECOVERY

1) Take out both batteries from their holders

2) Move alternatively the link switch to ON / BLANK five times (picture 2) 3) Move the link switch to ON 4) Reinsert both batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks 5) Perform the LINKING procedure.

During the linking phase, the detector must be positioned close to the aerial (within a few centimeters) of the translator or expander to which it is being linked.

DETECTOR SENSITIVITY SETTINGS

During installation using the Wirelex software it’s possible to set the smoke sensitivity and the heat category of the detector (see tables 4 and
5). Otherwise if the installation is performed manually through the translator keyboard, default setting will be applied.

WIRELESS LINK QUALITY

It is possible to check wireless link quality between the detector and its linked-to translator or expander in this way:

1) Move the link switch to the ON position.

2) LED indicators will start blinking according to the following table:

Communication quality No communication Communication quality: 0 dB – 10 dB (Mark 2) Communication quality: 10 dB – 20 dB (Mark 3) Communication quality: 20 dB – 30 dB (Mark 4) Communication quality: > 30 dB (Mark 5)

Assessment Fail Poor, not acceptable Medium-low, not recommended Good Excellent

Device’s indication Two red blinks One red blink One green blink Two green blinks Two green blinks

3) NOTE: Ensure the link switch is returned to the “BLANK” (operational) position on completion of testing.

SELECT A GOOD LOCATION FOR THE DETECTOR

Choose for the detector a placement position that:

– compliances with your specific standards – is reached by a strong wireless signal from its linked-to
translator or expander module – is not interfered by environmental factors.

IDENTIFICATION

For identification purposes, analogue loop number and device’s address can be recorded on the plastic tag supplied with the
base (picture 3). Extract the plastic tag from the bottom of the base, write or label
identification data on it and, finally, insert it in the side slot of the base.
