NOTE
You can check the RF quality in the installed position in two ways: from the transla-
tor's menu or from the Ekho Configuration software.
By using the "Maintenance/Device/Control" option within the translator menu, it is
possible to turn the "RF link Quality" mode on or off. The expander will automatically
exit this mode after 15 minutes.
ANALOG DATA
The expander provides the translator module with analog data regarding the air tem-
perature and
RF link quality. This information can be viewed in the “Ekho Configura-
tion
” software.
Please refer to the software manual for full instructions on how to use the Ekho Con-
figuration software for system maintenance.
WARRANTY
All expanders are covered by a 3-year limited warranty. The warranty is voided by
mechanical or electrical damage caused by incorrect handling or usage. The ex-
pander must be returned via an authorized supplier for repair or replacement along
with full information on the identified problem.
WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
Devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly
resistant to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years continuous opera-
tion it is advisable to replace them to reduce the risk of reduced performance caused
by external factors. Ensure the devices are only used with compatible control panels.
Detection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to
confirm correct operation.
Refer to and follow National Codes of Practice and other internationally recognized
fire engineering standards. Appropriate Risk Assessment should be carried out ini-
tially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
