Installation Instructions
For detector spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to your specific national standards. Mount the detector as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc., as well as cable conductors, and cables (especially from computers), otherwise, the operating distance may greatly drop. This detector must be installed precisely according to the procedures described in the manual. Test this detector after installation.

Linking Instructions
The system is waiting to achieve a wireless child device (For further information, refer to the translator’s or the Wireless configuration software’s literature). 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:

• The translator indicates so (check the translator’s literature)
• The Wireless software indicates so (check the Wirelex’s literature)

If linking is unsuccessful, check if evident mistakes were made. Perform the LINKING RECOVERY.

DETECTOR SENSITIVITY SETTINGS

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

WIRELESS LINK QUALITY
It is possible to check the 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

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 with by environmental factors.

IDENTIFICATION
For identification purposes, the analog loop number and the 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.
