Testing Wireless Transmitters - Honeywell VISTA-128BPT Installation And Setup Manual

VISTA-128BPT/128BPT-SIA/250BPT INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE

Testing Wireless Transmitters

Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode
Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that transmitters have all been properly programmed. (This test can be
used to verify the number of wireless zones programmed.)
If a transmitter does not have its serial number "enrolled," it will not turn off its zone number.
To enter the Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode, proceed as follows:
1. Enter Installer Code + [#] + [3]. The keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into
the system.
2. Fault each wireless zone, causing each device to transmit.
As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter
disappears from the display.
3. Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the Sniffer Mode.
Go/No Go Test Mode
Checking the transmitters in this mode assists in determining good mounting locations, and verifies that the RF
transmission has sufficient signal amplitude margin for the installed system.
•
All partitions containing wireless transmitters must be placed in the test mode for sensitivity
reduction of the RF receiver (50% sensitivity). Otherwise, the RF receiver remains at full strength.
•
Make sure that all partitions are disarmed when performing this test, as the wireless receiver gain is
reduced in half.
•
When panel is in Test mode wireless keys will not arm or disarm system. When button is pressed it
will show a fault of the zone assigned to wireless key. Fault will not clear until taken out of Test
mode.
1. Enter Installer Code + [5].
2. Fault each wireless transmitter, causing each device to transmit.
NOTES:
•
If a single receiver is used, the keypad beeps three times to indicate signal reception.
•
If two receivers are used, the keypad beeps once if the first receiver received the signal, twice if
the second receiver received the signal.
•
It will beep three times if both receivers heard the signal.
3. If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a few inches
in either direction is all that is required.
4. Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the Go/No Go Test Mode.
