Master Units
Slave Units
Every Alertex system requires at least one Master unit per site. The
Master unit allows the system to be reset post-activation, as well as to
be silently tested. Without a Master unit, the Alertex system cannot be
reset. The Master unit comes with a reset key which should be kept in an
easily accessible place to authorised staff members.
Alertex Slave units will be activated after a call-point is pressed, and will
relay the wireless transmission across the Alertex mesh network. Most
Alertex units act as repeaters and have up to a 1km wireless transmission
range. The wireless transmission can ‘hop’ up to 16 times to units that
are out of the initial 1km wireless transmission zone, giving the system a
maximum potential range of 16km line of sight. Alertex call-points only,
keyfobs, and smoke and heat detectors do not act as repeaters.
Quick Start
1. Remove the lid using a screwdriver to undo the push and quarter-turn
screws
2. Taped inside the lid you will find a black plastic reset key (for units
with a fitted call-point) along with the power jumper (JP2). The black
reset key is used for resetting the call-point post-activation but does
not reset the entire Alertex system
3. Insert the Lithium D cell batteries into the battery holders. Polarity is
displayed on the PCB board, with positive facing towards the aerial at
the top of the unit
4. Connect the JP2 jumper to the pins on the left-hand side of the PCB
board
5. The LED screen will light up with ‘HI’ to indicate that it is powered on
6. You can set-up the units easily using the buttons underneath the LED
screen (see page 6 for details)
7. Replace the lid and tighten the screws
