Commissioning
Once the unit is registered with the Redcare ESP, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure the unit is connected to the network.
2. Power cycle the unit to begin the commissioning process (both headers off).
3. After 1 minute the unit will begin establishing its communication paths.
4. After a further 1 minute, LEDs 2 & 3 should be permanently lit to show that the Wireline &
Wireless paths are both available. Note that the rightmost LED (Power indicator) is LED 1.

Note that the unit sends a “Unit Restart” alarm / Restore cycle over the first available
interface if the power to the unit has been interrupted.
(0x13 indicates Wireline path, 0x23 indicates Wireless path).
Test alarms can now be generated.
If the unit is configured for BSIA 175 working, briefly apply an alarm condition to pin input 11. Within
1 minute a pin 988 event & restore should be received at the ARC over both paths. This test proves
that both paths are signalling correctly. Note that if both paths are not available, no alarm will be
received by the ARC.
