5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices
It is very important to test the proposed placement of each wireless device before
it is mounted. Following these steps will test the signal strength between the PC5132
and the wireless devices.
You can test all of the devices together (global placement testing) or test each
device individually. To test all the devices together, see
Testing All Wireless Devices
Together. To test wireless devices individually, see Testing Individual Devices.
NOTE
: After you have enrolled the wireless devices, you must exit and then re-
enter installer’s mode at least once before you can perform a placement test.
Testing All Wireless Devices Together:
1. Temporarily put the WLS904-433, WLS906-433, WLS907-433 and
WLS925L-433 devices in the places you want to mount them.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
✱
][8][Installer Code].
3. Enable the Global Module Placement test by entering section [804]. Then
enter sub-section [90] and turn on option [8].
4. Press [#] twice.
5. Enter programming section [904], then enter [01].
6. Activate one of the devices being tested until a result is displayed on the
keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell:
WLS904-433:
Remove the detector from the backplate and then replace
it. Once the detector is replaced on the backplate the panel will show
and/or sound the result of the placement test at the keypad.
WLS906-433:
Remove the detector from its backplate, wait 5 seconds and
re-attach it, or hold a magnet near the raised line on the outer rim, then
remove it.
WLS907-433/WLS925L-433:
Open the contact by moving the magnet
away from the unit. The keypad will show/sound the test result. After the
first test result has been generated (about 10 seconds) close the contact
to generate another test result. If the unit is attached to a door or a
window, open and close the door or window to activate the device.
WLS909-433/WLS919-433:
Press any function key at several different
locations.
Read the test results at the keypad:
Result
LED Keypad
LCD Keypad Buzzer/Bell
Good
Light 1 On Steady
“Good”
1 Beep/Squawk
Fair
Light 2 On Steady
“Fair”
2 Beeps/Squawks
Bad
Light 3 On Steady
“Bad”
3 Beeps/Squawks
Activate the device until you get 3 good or fair results in a row.
You may mount WLS904-433, WLS906-433, WLS907-433 and WLS925L-
433 devices where results were good or fair.
Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You
may only have to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.
NOTE
: Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.
