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):

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.

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 of the detector (see table 4).
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:

blink
Communication quality: 10 dB – 20 dB (Mark 3)| Medium-low, not recommended| One green blink
Communication quality: 20 dB – 30 dB (Mark 4)| Good| Two green blinks
Communication quality: > 30 dB (Mark 5)| Excellent| Two green blinks

Table 2
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.

BASE INSTALLATION

Fix the base to the wall with the provided screws (picture 4).

Dust covers DO NOT provide complete protection against contamination: detectors should be removed before construction, major re-decoration or other dust producing work is started.
Dust covers MUST be removed before the system can be made operational.

DETECTOR PLACEMENT

1. Install the batteries cover.

2. Position the detector centrally on the base ensuring it is level.

3. Rotate clockwise applying gentle pressure.
   The detector will drop into its keyed location.

4. Continue to rotate clockwise a few degrees until the detector has fully engaged in the base.

5. When the detector is firmly engaged, check the alignment of the raised reference marks on the detector and on the base (picture 5).

DETECTOR LOCKING
To lock the detector to the base, screw in the provided security screw; screw entry is located on the side of the detector’s base (picture 6).

TAMPER DETECTION
When the detector is detached from the base a tamper message event is sent to the control panel.
