Appendix III: Using A WAM As A Repeater

40 50 160
Introduction
In mode 1 the WAM acts as a repeater for i-on alarm systems. The WAM
receives signals from transmitters that are out of range of the radio expander.
The WAM repeats these signals and, because the WAM is nearer the expander,
the expander can now hear the signals and respond to them.
The WAM can learn up to eight detectors. You can also program the WAM to
flash a separate blue LED for each transmitter.
Note that you cannot chain a series of WAMs to extend the transmitter range
indefinitely. The system allows only one hop. To find out how many WAMs each
control unit can support please see ―System Capacities‖ on page 8.
To use the WAM as a repeater, you will need to:
a) Teach the control unit the identity of all the transmitters (see page 141).
b) Teach the expander the identity of the WAM (see page 200)
c) Teach the WAM the identity of those transmitters whose signals it is going
to repeat (see page 201).
Before You Begin
1. Carry Out a Radio Site Survey
Cooper Security strongly recommend that you carry out a radio site
survey to find the best position for the WAM
. You must choose a position
for the WAM so that a) the nearest radio expander can receive the signals from
the WAM and b) the WAM can receive the signals from those distant
transmitters that you wish to repeat.
2. Prepare the WAM:
1.
Make sure power to the WAM is OFF, and open the WAM lid.
2.
On the bank of 8 dipswitches:
Set dipswitches:
1
ON (up)
Radio learning ON.
2
ON (up)
Jamming detection ON
3
ON (up)
Supervision ON
8
ON (UP)
(optional) LEDs show channel status
4,5,6,7
OFF (down) Not applicable
Note: You do NOT need to adjust the jumpers next to the tamper switch.
