The first four dipswitches have a double function: they are used for the address setting on the bus (which is
the normal position when functioning), and for selecting the wireless zone when learning new detectors into
the memory of the interface. When all wireless components have been programmed into the memory of the
interface, the first four dipswitches have to be set back to the address setting.
Alarm and status information (low battery, supervision and tamper) are passed on to the control panel for
each zone separately.
Programming wireless transmitters
There are two ways to program the wireless transmitters:
-
Learning the ID code into the memory of the interface by initiating a transmission
-
Programming the ID code with the Winterm software
Attention:
You can only program the ID code of the transmitter with the Winterm software if the 8 digit ID
code is printed on a sticker, which is placed on the transmitter’s circuit board. Not all transmitters have this
sticker, in which case you must learn the ID code in the memory by initiating a transmission.
To learn the ID codes of the wireless transmitters into the memory of the wireless interface, set dipswitch 8
to the ON position. The RS-485 bus communication stops, the Power (PWR) and Communication (COM)
LED’s extinguish, and the learning mode is activated.
With dipswitches 1-4 the zone to which the wireless transmitter is to be programmed, can be selected. The
zone dipswitch settings are similar to the address dipswitch settings of the Input + 8 OC and I/O modules.
See also appendix B “Expansion modules dipswitch settings”. The corresponding red LED (D3 – D10) will
start flashing when the zone is free, or will burn when the zone already holds an ID code of a wireless
transmitter.

When the zone is free, showed by the corresponding LED flashing, the wireless transmitter can be
programmed by initiating a transmission from the detector, e.g. by activating the tamper switch. Reception
of the code is confirmed by the “Happy melody” from the wireless interface. The corresponding red zone
LED will now burn.
