SECTION 3 (CONT)
The system code should not be the same for all Translator Modules on a fire detection loop. In the
majority of systems, the channel chosen will have little effect. However, in a small number of systems,
during the commissioning procedure it may become evident that one of the channels has a large
amount of interference, or traffic from another system or source, and this can then be avoided by the
selection of a different channel. If the system is left operating on the noisy channel it will still operate
but the battery life of the field devices may be reduced due to the system dealing with the excess
noise.
NOTE: There is a utility available on the associated software that will assist the engineer with
assessing the background RF environment. For more information on this utility please refer to Section
6 of this manual. Before using the Translator Module, the engineer will need to program the
operational radio channel for the Translator Module and all devices associated within the Translator
Module cluster.
•
Save the changes made to the Translator Module selecting the Initialisation ( ) option. During
the initialisation process, the following symbol will be seen on the Translator Module LCD
display. This indicates the Translator Module is processing and storing the System Code and
Radio Channel selected. If the initialisation succeeds
will be displayed, else will
be displayed.
•
Program the Translator Module Start Address. The Start Address is the detection loop address
assigned to the Translator Module in the Control Panel. All radio field devices will be contiguously
addressed when programmed on to the Translator Module.
•
Proceed with wireless field device programming (see
WIRELESS FIELD DEVICE PROGRAMMING
page
36)
•
On completion of all device programming, press P3/P4 buttons and scroll to the menu,
press P2 and scroll through the listed devices using P3/P4 pushbuttons. This indicates that all
devices have been learnt on to the Translator Module properly and are ready to be loaded in to the
Fire Control Panel.
(Note: If using the Wirelex Configuration Tool to program the system, the
menu will only
display the Translator Module address until the command is carried out).
•
On completion, exit from all Translator Module menus pressing P1 push-button until the LCD
display is blank.
RADIO DEVICE START ADDRESS
Using P3/P4 keys scroll up/down until is displayed. Press P2 key to confirm. Use P3/P4 push-
button and scroll to (Start Address). Press P2 to select this option. Using P3/P4 push-buttons set
the start address for the Translator Module. Confirm the value pressing P2. On completion press P1
push-button to exit (The devices will be addressed contiguously from the address set in this action).
