Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction The Scope F-Link is a four input four output transceiver which works with up to fifteen other F-Link units to form a mesh radio network for remote alerting and status monitoring, typically of fire or security panels. A minimum of two F-Link units are required to form a system. -

Scope. However in the absence of a full survey it is possible to carry out a basic check using a single F-Link unit. -
Page 6: Changing The Frequency Channel
F-Link Mk4 Supervised Transceiver System 2.1.3 Changing the frequency channel Use the DIP switches on the F-Link circuit board to select the required frequency channel. The F-Link will detect the change and reboot, displaying the selected frequency. All F-Links on a system must be set to use the same frequency channel. -
Page 7: Creating The F-Link Network
F-Link Mk4 Supervised Transceiver System 2.2 Creating the F-Link network The F-Link network must be created on site by ‘joining’ all F-Link Nodes to the Master. 2.2.1 Node addressing Each F-Link must have a unique address for the system to operate. One F-Link must be set as the Master (address 0) and the other F-Links set as Nodes (addresses 1-15). -

F-Link Mk4 Supervised Transceiver System Assuming all previous steps have been successfully followed, the F-Links will now be joined as a network and the system will be fully operational, albeit not yet installed. Each F-Link will be set up with the factory default configuration, and should display its own node name and signal meter, with no other messages or faults. -

3.1.1 Antennas Never operate any Scope equipment without a suitable antenna connected. The F-Link can communicate over a considerable distance with the supplied ¼ wave antenna connected directly to the unit. On sites where difficult operating conditions exist, it may be advantageous to install remotely mounted antenna(s):... -

Page 17: Configuration
F-Link Mk4 Supervised Transceiver System 4. Configuration All F-Link units are supplied with a factory default configuration which allows a fully operational system to be created without the need for programming. Although carefully designed to be suitable for many common scenarios, the default configuration can be easily changed using the F-Link Pro Configuration Utility software (available from Scope). -
