[904] Placement Testing Wireless Devices (LCD keypads only)
This test is used to determine RF signal status for wireless devices and can be performed at a system
keypad or at the individual device. These instructions pertain to testing at the keypad. For instructions
on placement testing at the device, refer to the installation sheet provided with the wireless equip-
ment. The following test modes are available:001-128 – Test wireless zones.
Table 14: Wireless Device Placement Test Modes
001-128
Test wireless zones
Test wireless devices individually by zone.
520
Test all repeaters
Test each enrolled wireless repeater.
521-528 for repeaters 1-8.
550
Test all sirens
Test each enrolled wireless siren.
551-556 for sirens 1-16
600
Test all wireless keys
Test individual wireless keys. Once in this section, press a
button on the wireless key to begin the test.
601-632 for wireless keys 1-32.
700
Test all keypads
Test each enrolled keypad
701-716 for keypads 1-16.
Two test results are provided:
l
24-hour: Average results of signal strength testing over a 24-hour period.
l
Now: Signal status results of the current test.
During testing, the Ready and Armed LED's flash to indicate data is being received. A flashing
Trouble LED indicates RF interference. The following status indicators may be displayed:

Troubleshooting
1. When attempting to assign a zone number to a wireless device, the keypad responds with a long
beep.
l
Ensure that the keypad is properly connected to the Corbus.
2. After entering the ESN of a wireless device, then tripping it, the keypad does not indicate the zone
is open.
l
Ensure the ESN has been entered correctly.
l
Ensure that the zone is enabled for the partition (if partition programming is used).
l
Ensure that the wireless zone is not assigned to a zone used by HSM2108 modules, an on-board
zone or a keypad zone.
l
Ensure that the zone is programmed for something other than “Null Operation”.
3. "Poor" or no results are received from a module placement test.
l
Verify that you are testing the correct zone.
l
Verify the device is in range of the keypad. Test the device in the same room as the receiver.
l
Confirm that the keypad is properly connected to the Corbus.
l
Check that the zone is being tested correctly. Refer to the instructions that came with the device.
l
Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.
l
Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reaching the keypad.
l
The device must be located where consistent “Good” results are obtained. If several devices
show “Poor” results, or if panic pendants and wireless keys operate inconsistently, move the
receiver.
For systems compliant with EN50131-1 and EN50131-3 the HS2LED keypad shall be used in con-
junction with an LCD type keypad (HS2LCD(P) or HS2LCDRF(P)8 or HS2LCDWF(P)8) in order to
be able to review logged events and also to allow overriding of conditions that inhibit setting of the
alarm system. The HS2LED keypad alone cannot support these functions.
