5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices
Testing the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is mounted is very important.
Following these steps tests the signal strength between the TR5164 and the wireless devices.
All wireless devices can be tested together (global placement testing) or individually.
NOTE: After the wireless devices are enrolled, Installer Programming must be exited and then
re-entered at least once before performing a placement test.
To perform a global placement test:
1. Temporarily place the wireless devices in the preferred mounting locations.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
3. Enter section [804], then key in [00]. In this mode, all wireless devices are placement tested at the
same time.
4. Activate the device(s) as described in the associated installation sheet. The device name and zone
number are displayed on the LCD.
Read the test results at the keypad:
Result
Good
Bad
Activate the device until three "good" results in a row are achieved.
Mount the wireless devices where results are good.
Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. The device may only have to
be moved a few inches to correct a bad result.
Do not mount any device where a "bad" test result is indicated.
5. Perform step 4 for each wireless device enrolled on the TR5164.
Wait until the placement test of one device is shown/sounded before beginning to test the next device.
Continue to test the devices until both the TR5164 and the devices are in good locations. If several
wireless devices produce "bad" test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a different location (see
Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a location for the TR5164).
7. To exit the placement test and return to Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
NOTE: To placement test a wireless keypad, press any number key. To placement test a wireless
repeater, press the Test button or tamper the device.
Testing Individual Devices
1. Temporarily place the device in the preferred mounting location.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
3. Enter programming section [904] for wireless devices.
4. Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device.
5. Activate the device until a result is displayed on the keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell.
6. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 5. Continue to test the devices until
both the TR5164 and the devices are in acceptable locations.
If several wireless devices produce "bad" test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a better
location (see Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a location for the TR5164).
7. To exit the placement test and Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
