6.1 Device Supervision
When supervision of a wireless device on a zone is turned ON, the panel will show
a trouble if a wireless zone stops working or is removed from the system. When
supervision is turned OFF, the panel will not show a trouble.
For UL listed systems, supervision must be enabled.
NOTE
: Wireless Keys, Panic Pendants and Handheld Keypads are NOT supervised.
A zone supervisory is a test transmission that each wireless zone sends to the
PC4164-RS. When the PC4164-RS receives the supervisory transmission from the
zone, the PC4164-RS will transmit this information to the control panel.
If the control panel does not get a supervisory transmission from a zone within the
Device Fail time, the zone will be considered “missing” causing a Device Fault.
The next supervisory transmission that the PC4164-RS receives from the “missing”
zone will restore communication with that zone and restore the Zone Supervisory
Fault. The Device Fail timer will also be reset.
WLS908 Panic Pendant
The panic pendant does not transmit a supervisory signal. This is so that the user
will be able to take it away from the premise. You must disable wireless supervision
for each zone a panic pendant is assigned to.
Supervision is ON by default on all wireless zones. To change the supervision option
for a zone:

that device.
4. To exit, press [#].
Change the Device Fail Time
The default amount of time is 3 hours.
