Enroll & Program Wireless Devices
This section describes how to enroll and program wireless devices. For more information,
read the instruction sheet included with each device.
3.1 A Note about Electronic Serial Numbers (ESN)
In order to reduce the occurrence of wireless devices with the same serial number, 6-
digit serial numbers are now printed on the back of each wireless device. The 6-digit
serial numbers include hexadecimal digits. For instructions on programming
hexadecimal numbers, see your
PC4020 Installation manual, section 3: How to
Program.
Older wireless devices will only have 5-digit serial numbers. To enroll these devices,
enter [0], then the 5-digit serial number.
3.2 Enrolling Wireless Detectors
NOTE: Before you permanently mount wireless devices, test each one in its intended mounting
location to make sure that it can communicate properly with the RF4164-433. Test the device at
least 3 times. See Section 4.1 for more information.
1. At a system LCD keypad, enter [
✱
][8][Installer’s Code].
2. Enter Ref #[001300] to go to the
Enroll Device
programming section.
This section will only be available if you have already enrolled the RF4164-433
module with the panel (see
Section 2.5).
The LCD keypad will display
Enroll Device Serial # [ ]
.
3. Look at the back of the first wireless device you want to enroll. If the device has a 6-digit
serial number, enter it now. If the device only has a 5-digit number, enter a [0] and then
the 5-digit number.
4.
PC4020 v3.2 and higher panels: The LCD keypad prompts
Enroll Device Zone XXX
.
Enter a 3-digit zone number for the device.
NOTE: If the zone selected is a hardwired zone, the wireless zone will replace it. However,
you cannot replace an AML or PC4820 zone with a wireless zone. If you select an AML or
PC4820 zone, the keypad will sound an error tone.
5. The LCD keypad will display
Enroll Device Serial # [ ]
. Continue with steps 3 and
4 until all devices have been enrolled.
6. To exit device enrollment, press [#].
Program Partitions and Zones
Now that you have enrolled and mounted the wireless devices, you should program
your PC4020 partitions and zones. See your
PC4020 Installation Manual, section 5:
Partitions and Zones.
