Section 5: Testing & Mounting; Test The Reception Of Wireless Devices - DSC PowerSeries RF5132-433 Manuel D'installation

5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices

It is very important to test the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is mounted. Following these steps
will test the signal strength between the RF5132-433 and the wireless devices.
You can test all of the devices together (global placement testing) or test each device individually. To test all the devices
together, see 'Testing All Wireless Devices Together' below. To test wireless devices individually, see 'Testing Individual
Devices'.
NOTE: After you have enrolled the wireless devices, you must exit and then re-enter Installer's Programming at least
once before you can perform a placement test.
Testing All Wireless Devices Together:
1. Temporarily put the wireless devices in the places you want to mount them.
2. At a system keypad, enter [*][8][Installer Code].
3. Enable the Global Module Placement test by entering section [804]. Then enter sub-section [90] and turn on
option [8].
4. Press [#] twice.
5. Enter programming section [904], then enter [01].
6. Activate one of the devices being tested until a result is displayed on the keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell:
Motion Detectors: To perform a Placement Test on the WLS904P-433, remove the detector from the back
plate and then replace it. Once the detector is replaced on the back plate the LED on the detector will flash rapidly 5
times (4 times for the WLS914-433) to indicate that it has sent a transmission. The panel will show and/or sound
the result of the placement test on the keypad. To perform a 2nd and 3rd test, repeat this procedure. Carefully
replace the backplate onto the detector, ensuring that "TOP" is facing upward, or you may
damage the tamper switch.
NOTE: When you remove the detector from the backplate (tamper the unit), the detector will also be put into
"Detector Walk Test" mode. While in Walk Test mode the detector will activate the LED when motion is
detected. The detector will also send a signal to the receiver 5 seconds after motion is detected, indicated by 5
rapid flashes by the LED. The LED will only work in this fashion for 10 motion detections after a tamper/restore.
Note that the panel will ignore these transmission signals with respect to a placement test. The only way in
which the panel will acknowledge a placement test is if the backplate has, each time, been removed and
restored.
Smoke Detector: Remove the detector from its backplate, wait 5 seconds and re-attach it, or hold a magnet
near the raised line on the outer rim, then remove it.
Door/Window Transmitter: Open the contact by moving the magnet away from the unit. The keypad will
show/sound the test result. After the first test result has been generated (about 10 seconds) close the contact to
generate another test result. If the unit is attached to a door or a window, open and close the door or window to
activate the device.
Glassbreak Detector: Press and hold the test mode tab for 5 seconds. Release the test mode tab. The keypad
will display the test result.
