2. Creating a network
A network can be made up of a variety of WES
3
units such as Call
Points, Base Stations and Interfaces. All WES
3
units are delivered to
site with batteries installed and ready for site activation. To activate
any unit, hold down ‘A’ and press ‘B’ three times in quick succession.
All three LEDs will briefly illuminate and then the amber LED will flash.
This operation activates the unit – no radio connection is
established at this point. The system must include a least one
Call Point in order to generate an audible alarm. Where a system
comprises Detectors only, no audible alert will be transmitted on site
.
3. Allocate unit numbers
Activated Call Points, Detectors, and other WES
3
units can be added
to create a WES
3
network using the Unit Numbering process. During
Unit numbering, WES
3
devices receive details of network configuration
from the Base Station, including Inspection Delay and Pre Alarm
settings.
Note this is the only way of creating and adding to a
WES
3
network.
Access the Settings Menu on the Base Station home screen. The
Settings menu can be accessed from the Main Menu by selecting
Settings with the directional pad then pressing Enter.
Basic System

Date and Time
Ensure that any WES
3
device to be paired is turned on and has an
amber flashing LED. This indicates the unit is ready to pair. Units can
be numbered any three digit number from 001 to 999 in accordance
with your site plan. Numbering allows messages and alerts during
operation to be referenced to a specific unit location on site, using the
construction project site plan.
From the Unit Numbering screen, use the up and down arrows to
select the desired number for your first unit
SELECT UNIT NUMBER
001
Hold A Button
Press and hold ‘A’ on both units. The amber LEDs will illuminate
followed by the green LEDs on both units to indicate that the units
have been successfully paired and a site group created. Release the
‘A’ buttons.
After successfully numbering a unit, change the number displayed on
the Base Station and repeat the process above for all required units.
Note that the Polling feature of WES
3
can perfom an automatic integrity
test of the first 128 WES
3
units added to a network. Additonal units
can be added to the network, but will be excluded in the integrity test.
