The green LED switches on once, then it blinks many times (operating mode), and, finally, after alternating green-red for one second, the indicator turns off: this indicates that the linking procedure has been performed correctly and the device has programmed itself .
The input module is linked and all the parameters (address, system code etc.) necessary to work correctly are stored. If the LED remains switched on the red light it means that the linking operation failed. In this case remove the main battery, switch over alternatively the ON / 1 switch a few times in order to discharge the internal capacitor and then start again from point 2).

IMPORTANT NOTE! Programming is considered to be completed successfully only if there is an indication of programming success on the device and on the translator or on the window of the PC configuration program.

COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT
It is possible to assess the wireless communication quality of the module by using a testing feature built in the device.
After a successful linking operation, by switching the link-programming switch on the ON position, the module’s indicator will start blinking accord-ing to table 2.
Always remember to reposition the switch to 1 after the assessment operation: device will NOT work operatively while the switch is positioned on the ON position.

MODULE PLACEMENT
It is strongly advised to mount the device as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors, cables (especially from computers), otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop. The device should not be installed near electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with the reception’s quality.

1. Select the position of the module before installing it. Verify, from that position, that the communication between the device and the translator or the expander is correctly established and working (see the COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT paragraph).

2. Install and fix the device’s box in the selected position using the provided screws and their indicated lodgment holes (picture 3).
   The input module box is designed with 6 cable entry knockout holes, distributed on the lateral sides of the device’s box, allowing sealed, gland fitted cables to be connected to the device and, at the same time, to preserve the original IP protection rating (picture 4).

3. Fit the cable’s gland (or glands) into the “knocked out” device box’s cable entry.

4. Feed the cables into the box, giving them sufficient length for a secure connection.

5. Extract the supply batteries from their lodgment on the PCB, in order to power the device off.

6. Connect the cable’s terminals to the device’s input terminal blocks as indicated in the following paragraph.

7. Reinsert correctly the batteries into their PCB lodgments, in order to power up again the device.

8. Test the module, then install and screw securely the cover onto the module’s box.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to replace the devices in order to minimize the risk of reduced performance caused by external factors. Ensure that this device is only used with compatible control panels. Detection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.

Smoke sensors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application advice should be sought for special risks. Sensors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist between them and the fire location and may be affected by special environmental conditions.
Refer to and follow national codes of practice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards.

Appropriate risk assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.

WIRING CONNECTION
Following is illustrated the electrical scheme for the connection of the input module to the external device which transmits the input signal to the module. End of line supervision resistor’s and external device alarm resistor’s specifications are given in table 3.

TAMPER DETECTION FEATURE
The wireless input module is provided with a tamper detection switch-spring system, and, in case of removal of the cover from its box, it sends a tamper detection message to the control panel. For this reason assure that the front cover is well inserted and closed.

FAULTS
If a fault condition is detected by the input module, a message indicating such condition is sent to the control panel.
The faults are locally signaled by the module’s visual LED indicator (see table 1).
A fault condition can normally be determined by a low battery power supply.

TESTING
In order to test the functionality of the installed input module the following test must be performed: activate the external device: the module must transmit the alarm message to the control panel through the translator / expander and switch on the LED indicator (blink red as per table 1).
After each test the module must be reset from control panel (see the RESET paragraph).
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.

RESET
To reset the input module from an alarm condition it is necessary to reset from control panel: the module’s LED indicator (indicating alarm) will be turned off.

MAINTENANCE

1. Before starting any maintenance work (e.g. batteries substitution), disable the system in order to avoid accidental and unwanted fault detection conditions.
2. Remove the front cover from the device’s box.
3. Perform the planned necessary maintenance operations.
4. After the device has been serviced, reinstall correctly the front cover onto its box, reactivate the system and check correct operation as described under the TESTING paragraph.
