1.7 Network Deployment
Correct deployment of the wireless network is important as it will ensure the system operates
effectively and reliably.
The following instructions assume that the network has previously been configured and all required
slave devices have been learned to a master device prior to deployment (see
Section 1.7.1
below).
However the network configuration and master slave learn process could be undertaken during the
deployment process.
i
The following instructions should always be followed when deploying the network:
1.7.1 Deployment Process
All devices should be powered down and connected to De with the required interconnecting
cable (see
page 13
).
Before deployment ensure no Detective Net devices are indicating a low battery. Any device with the
battery indication LED illuminated should not be deployed and should be unlearned from the network
and replaced.
i
Prior to powering the detective net device ensure the Det is powered and
operating normally, or the wireless device will deem the Det to have exhausted its
battery and will initiate an alert on the network.
The master device should be powered first and placed as centrally as possible in the network (this
will make best use of the benefits of the mesh network). LED2 will flash amber twice to indicate
no network connection (as no slave devices are powered at this point) and LED4 will flash green
indicating its master status.
When placing the slave devices start with the device closest to the master and work outwards.
Place the first slave device in position and power up, LED2 will double flash amber to indicate the slave
device has no wireless communication to the master device and it is attempting to establish connection.
The slave device may establish communication quickly and LED2 will then flash green 3 times,
indicating communication to the master has been established. LED2 will then revert back to a green
flash indicating established network connection.
If the device does not connect then use the force communication process to establish connection
(see page 23 ).
