Wireless Device Low Battery Trouble Transmission Delay
When a device reports a low battery trouble, the keypad will indicate the trouble
immediately, but the panel will delay transmission of the trouble to the monitoring
station. You can program the length of the delay (in days) in Installer’s Programming.
If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the
low battery trouble will be transmitted.
The low battery alarm and restoral codes will only be reported once per armed period.
The low battery restore transmission is not delayed. The default transmission delay is 7
days.
To change the transmission delay:
1. At an LCD keypad, enter [
✱
][8][Installer’s code].
2. Enter Ref #[00040211] to go to the
4164 Low Bat Dly
section.
3. Enter the new transmission delay (from 000 to 255 days).
4. To exit, press [#].
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices
1. Remove the cover of the device from its backplate. This creates a tamper condition
on the zone.
2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of each
component. Ensure the proper orientation of the batteries as you install them.
3. When the fresh batteries are in place, reattach the cover to the backplate. The tamper
is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble restoral signal to the RF4164-433
receiver. The battery trouble is now clear.
NOTE: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all devices should be
replaced at the same time.
Enable RF Jam Detect Trouble
The RF Jam Detect trouble condition will be generated and logged when the
RF4164-433 module detects an attempt to block RF signals. This tells the user that
the RF4164-433 module is not receiving wireless device transmissions. The panel
will transmit the General System Trouble reporting code.
To enable warning of this trouble condition
(The default setting for this option is OFF):
1. At an LCD keypad, enter [
✱
][8][Installer’s Code].
2. Enter Ref #[000200] to go to the
System Toggles
section.
3. Scroll to
RF Jam Detect
.
4. Press [
✱
] to toggle the option ON or OFF.
5. To exit System Toggles, press [#}.
NOTE: Devices must be placement tested as ‘Good’ or ‘Fair’ for RF Jam Detection to work
properly.
NOTE: This option must be turned on for UL/ULC/CE installations.
