Introduction

This manual provides a guide to using the Ziton 868MHz wireless survey kit.

The wireless survey kit should be used to determine the Ziton equipment requirements for 

the site, to ensure that full wireless site coverage for the areas concerned is achieved, with the 

required signal strengths for reliable communication.

Each site will have a level of background noise, that may affect the signals on site. Under 

EN54-25 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems components using radio links). The minimum 

signal headroom must be checked, to ensure reliable communication. This is essential to 

ensure immunity against site attenuation, caused by environmental changes and other 

electrical equipment.

The survey will create the foot print for the installed system, specifying the final positions for 

the devices and wireless infrastructure.

The Ziton wireless survey kit has been designed so that it can survey both Ziton and Ziton 

Radio Loop Module (RLM) systems.

All wireless communication is bi-directional and utilises the 868MHz frequency.

It is recommended that the survey results are recorded for future reference. The survey kit 

automatically calculates the required headroom (signal level above background interference),  

then displays the results. The results are displayed together with Pass or Fail confirmation.
