Sequencing the heads

Senstar LM100 Product Guide
Step 1 - Discovery
: The Unordered Heads field is populated automatically by selecting the
Record button. The Unordered Heads field includes a numbered list of all luminaires that are
communicating on the wireless mesh network. Each luminaire is identified by a 5-digit mesh
network Id. The Unordered Heads list is based on the luminaires’ RF communication pattern rather
than the installation locations. This process can take several minutes to complete.
Step 2 - Locating
: The Ordered Heads field is populated by conducting location tests to identify
specific luminaires. The luminaires are moved automatically into the Ordered Heads field in the
same order as the location tests are conducted. This enables the luminaires to be organized so
that numerically sequential luminaires can be assigned to segments, regardless of their
communication pattern. The segments are then assigned to zones for alarm reporting and routine
scheduled lighting.
Step 3 - Sequencing
: The Head Sequence field is populated manually by moving the heads from
the Ordered Heads table in the desired order. The heads are moved into the Head Sequence field
according to the requirements for creating segments which are then assigned to alarm zones. The
Heads Sequence field also includes segment and zone number assignments, once the segments
and zones are defined in the segment setting window on the Config tab.
Compiling the Unordered Heads list
1.
Establish a UCM connection to the gateway (USB or NM).
2.
On the Config tab, select the Sequence button.
3.
Select the Record button below the Unordered Heads field and wait for the LM100 gateway to
compile the list of unordered heads (this process can take several minutes).
4.
Select the Stop button once the compiled list is displayed in the Unordered Heads column.
Verify that all of the installed luminaires have been added to the list to ensure that each
luminaire in the system is communicating properly (e.g., If there are 38 luminaires in your
Senstar LM100 system there should be 38 luminaires in the unordered list.)
If the number of heads discovered during the recording of the Unordered Heads is less than the
number of heads installed, the unresponsive head(s) must be located:
•
Wait longer (up to 10 minutes) to see if the missing head is eventually discovered.
•
Use the indicate button below the Unordered Heads column and have an observer look for a
brief illumination (5 flashes) from each head on the list.
