POWERING UP AND LINKING – PRELIMINARY NOTES
TAU-CP-R-01 needs to be powered up with the supplied batteries.
Linking is the operation through which TAU-CP-R-01 is “wirelessly connected”
to a TAU-TRM-01, TAU-CEM-01, or TAU-EXM-01 Taurus network device.
POWERING UP – FIRST-TIME USE
Use this procedure the first time you power up a TAU-CP-R-01.
- Make sure the Link/program switch is set on “ON”.
- 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.
POWERING UP – DEVICE LINKED TO THE SYSTEM
Use this procedure when a TAU-CP-R-01 is successfully linked to its Taurus
system and you have to extract one or both batteries (e.g. batteries
substitution).
Reinsert the battery or both batteries into their lodgments.
- Do not touch the Link/program switch.
- If performing a battery substitution, use two brand-new batteries and substitute both of them.
- Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.
POWERING UP – RECOVERY
Use this procedure when you fail to link successfully a TAU-CP-R-01 or you
want to link it again.

- 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.
- Create the “virtual model” of the TAU-CP-R-01 either on TauREX or on the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01.
- Power-up the call point (either “first-time use” or “recovery”).
- Set the Link/program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”.
- Trigger the wake-up procedure either from TauREX or from the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01.
- Wait until the end of the “wake-up” linking procedure.
- 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.
- Create the “virtual model” of the child device either on TauREX or on the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01.
- Trigger the linking procedure either from TauREX or from the TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01.
- Power-up the child device (either “first time use” or “recovery”).
- Set the child device’s Link / program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”.
- Wait the end of the “one-by-one” linking procedure.
- Check on TauREX or from TAU-TRM-01 / TAU-CEM-01 for linking success. Consult their user manual.

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 applica- tion 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.
Use only in Taurus fire detection and alarm systems.
