Testing Wireless Devices

1. Temporarily put the wireless devices in the places you want to
mount them.
2. At a system keypad, enter [][8][Installer Code].
3. Enter programming section [904], then enter the two-digit zone
number.
NOTE: If global placement test is enabled (Section [90], Option 8
ON) enter [01] to test all zones.
4. Activate the device being tested until a result is displayed on the
keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell.

Good Light 1 ON Steady Good
Bad Light 3 ON Steady Bad
While in placement test the Ready and Armed LEDs are used to indi-
cate the reception of a valid signal from a wireless device. The Green
(Ready) LED indicates that a transmission was received from a device
that is enrolled on the system. The Red (Armed) LED indicates that a
transmission was received from a device that is not enrolled on the
system. The corresponding LED will flash once per transmission.
Activate the device until you get 3 good results in a row. Wait 10 sec-
onds between each test on the same device. You may mount wireless
devices where results were good. 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.
Testing Portable Device Reception
To test portable devices (e.g., WS4939) press the button(s) at several
different points in the installation, to confirm the coverage area. If
these devices do not operate from all points in the installation, you will
need to move the RFK55XX.
Replacing Wireless Device
Batteries
1. Remove the cover of the device from its backplate. This creates a
tamper condition on the zone.
2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the Installation
Sheet of each component. Be sure to note the proper orientation of
the batteries as you install them.
3. When the fresh batteries are in place, re-attach the cover to the
backplate. The tamper is restored and the zone sends a battery
trouble restoral signal to the receiver. The battery trouble is now
clear and the device should function normally.
NOTE: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the
batteries in all devices should be replaced at the same time.

Troubleshooting

1. When I enter the 2-digit zone number when adding a wireless
device, the keypad gives me a long beep.
• You cannot enter ESNs unless the RFK55XX is properly connected to
Bell/Buzzer
the Keybus.
1 Beep/Squawk 2. I have entered the ESN for the device but when I violate the device,
the zone does not show open on the keypad.
3 Beeps/Squawks
Check the following:
• Ensure the ESN has been entered correctly.
• Ensure that the zone is enabled for the partition (if partition program-
ming is used).
• Ensure that the wireless zone is not assigned to a zone used by
PC5108 modules, an on-board zone or a keypad zone.
• Ensure that the zone is programmed for something other than "Null
Operation" and that the wireless zone attribute is turned on.
3. When I try a module placement test I get no result or "Bad" results.
Check the following:
• Verify that you are testing the correct zone.
• Verify that the device is in range of the RFK55XX. Try testing the
device in the same room as the receiver.
• Confirm that the RFK55XX is properly connected to the Keybus.
• Check that you are testing the zone correctly. Refer to the instructions
that came with the zone.
• Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.
• Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from
reaching the RFK55XX.
• The device must be located where consistent "Good" results are
obtained. If several devices show "Bad" results, or if panic pendants
and wireless keys operate inconsistently, move the receiver.
4. The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in
front of the unit.
• The LED on the motion detector is for walk test purposes only. See
your WS4904(P)/WS8904(P) Instruction Sheet for walk test instruc-
tions.
