5.1 Test the placement of WLS904, WLS905, WLS906 and
WLS907 devices
It is very important to test the proposed placement of each wireless device
before it is mounted. Following these steps will test the placement of the wireless
motion detectors (WLS904), wireless smoke detectors (WLS906) and wireless
door/window contacts (WLS905 & WLS907), based on the signal strength
between the PC5132-RS and the device.
NOTE: You cannot test the Panic Pendant (WLS908), Wireless Key (WLS909),
and Handheld Keypad (WLS910) in this mode. See section 5.2 for instructions
on testing these devices.
1. Temporarily place the device you want to test in the place you want to
mount it.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
✱
][8][Installer Code].
3. Enter programming section [904].
4
Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device to be tested.
5. Activate the device being tested until a result is displayed on the keypad
or sounded by the keypad or bell.
WLS904:
Remove the detector from its backplate, wait for 5 seconds,
then reattach the detector to its backplate.
WLS906:
WLS906:
WLS906:
WLS906:
WLS906: Hold the supplied magnet near the raised line on the outer rim
of the bracket.
WLS905 & WLS907:
Open and close the contact by moving the magnet
away from the unit. If the unit is attached to a door or a window, open
and close the door or window to activate the device.
6. Read the test results at the keypad:
Result
LED Keypad
LCD Keypad Buzzer/Bell
Good
Light 1 On Steady
“Good”
1 Beep/Squawk
Fair
Light 2 On Steady
“Fair”
2 Beeps/Squawks
Bad
Light 3 On Steady
“Bad”
3 Beeps/Squawks
Activate the device until you get 3 good or fair results in a row. Wait 10
seconds between each test on the same device.
You may mount wireless devices where results were good or fair.
Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You
may only have to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.
NOTE: Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.
If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to
move the PC5132-RS to a better location. (See section 2.2 for tips on
finding a location for the PC5132-RS.)
7. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 6. Continue
to test the devices until both the PC5132-RS and the devices are in good
locations.
8. To exit installer programming, press [#] twice.
