Putting the radio gateway into operation

Building Technologies
Fire Safety & Security Systems
Before radio detectors can be registered on the radio gateway, the radio gateway
must be put in operation.
Several radio gateways use the same basis channel
Radio detectors communicate with several radio gateways
CAUTION Faults or malfunctions may occur
Commissioning the radio gateways one after the other in the same
transmission field
If you want to commission several radio gateways, these must be commissioned
one after the other in the same transmission field, so that each radio gateway is
able to determine its own basis channel in configuration mode and registered radio
detectors each communicate with only one radio gateway.
Afterwards you may as well install the radio gateway in longer distances.
So you can ensure that even temporary changes of the radio detectors do not
cause any malfunctions due to the occupancy of the same basis channels.
Prerequisites:
The FDnet detector line must be switched off.
The radio gateway is in delivery condition.
It is not allowed to commission several radio gateways simultaneously.
Procedure:
1. Unlock the housing cover of the radio gateway on the front side with pin and pull
it off.
2. Insert a new battery.
The radio gateway changes from startup mode to the configuration mode for
the basis channel.
The red and green LED are alternatingly flashing slowly.
The radio gateway looks for a free basis channel and signals the result
Channel found: green LED flashes slowly
–
No channel found: red LED flashes slowly
–
The radio gateway is ready for configuration mode
When the red LED flashes twice after inserting the battery, the battery voltage is too low.
If no basis channel is found, please consult the chapter 'Maintenance / Troubleshooting'.
