Setting the Transceiver and Detector Channels
Note
The controller will not recognize transceiver and
detector channel changes when the system is
powered up. Cycle the power on and off after a
channel change to confirm the modification.
Digitally coded information is received via a 2.4 GHz radio
using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
technology. Coding is easily changed on the site to meet
changing requirements (e.g., moving controllers, adding
detection points, and/or changeover of equipment).
To access the transceiver, open the two external tension
latches. (If the controller is locked, you need to unlock it with
the security key.)
The controller transceiver operates in the receive mode if the
detector channel rotary switch is positioned to channel 0.
Confirm that the detector channel is set to 0.
The transceiver channel is selected from 00 to 3F (AB
combination) and must be identical to the transceiver
channel of all the detectors. Match all detectors transceiver
channel codes to the controller’s transceiver channel code.
