Controller info
Module type
– controller type.
Version
– firmware version of the controller.
Serial number
– serial number of the controller.
Communication period
– define the time intervals at which wireless devices are to
communicate with the controller. Periodical communication can take place every 12, 24 or
36 seconds. During periodical communication, the devices inform the controller about their
status, and the controller sends commands to the devices (switches the detectors into
active/passive mode, starts/ends test mode, changes configuration of the devices, etc.).
The communication period has effect on the level of energy consumption by wireless
devices: the less frequent is the communication, the lower is the energy consumption. For
the battery-operated devices it means longer battery life. Moreover, when the
communication takes place less frequently, more wireless devices can work within each
other's operating range.
If you enable the “ECO” option for a wireless device, periodical communication
between that device and the controller will take place every 3 minutes (the
“Communication period” parameter will have no effect on the device operation).
Some information and commands need to be sent immediately. Therefore, additional
communication takes place when the device reports tamper, when the detector reports
alarm, etc.
Inputs
NO/NC
– input type. You can select NO (activated when shorted to common ground) or NC
(activated when opened). Click twice on the field to change the type.
