LOCATION SELECTION

Select a location for the base sounder that conforms to your local applicable safety standards and that is in a good position for sending / receiving wireless signals to / from the father TAU-TRM-01, TAU-CEM-01 or TAU-EXM-01 network device .

It is advisable to use the TAU-STK-01 survey kit to locate a good wireless installation location

Mount the base sounder 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 base sounder must NOT be installed near electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with its wireless communication quality.

BATTERY COVER

To detach the battery cover, pull the tab highlighted in the following picture.

(Picture 2)

To reinstall the battery cover, insert its two hooks into the device’s recesses as indicated in the picture below; then block it by pressing down the opposite side.

Every time the cover is removed, the tamper switch is released, causing a temper attempt message to be sent to the control panel. Always install the battery cover, since it is a vital part of the anti-tampering feature. Make sure the battery cover is safely fixed, blocked and closed.

WALL INSTALLATION PLATE

To detach / reinstall the wall plate to the base sounder refer to the following picture:

Make sure that the sound diffuser cone printed on the wall plate corresponds to the acoustic alarm signal outlet of the base sounder.

Drill templates on the wall plate are highlighted in the following picture:

LED INDICATOR STATUS MESSAGES

The LED indicator’s messages are used only during installation and servicing. LED indicator is inactive when the battery cover is in place for saving up battery charge (and due to the fact that normally the LED is hidden by the detector or the cover plate)

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. Consult their user manual.
