RadioLINK Troubleshooting
It is imperative that all Alarms in your system communicate with each other. The
number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path reduces the strength
of the RadioLINK signals between the Alarms. Accordingly, one or more Alarms
may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms in the system. If, when
checking the RadioLINK interconnection, some of the Alarms do not respond to the
button test, then you will need to either:
(i) Position another RadioLINK Alarm to act as a 'repeater' (see Interconnection
with RadioLINK Modules below) between the Alarms which are not communicating
and so shorten the path and/or by-pass an obstacle which is blocking the signal.
When the new Alarm is fitted, house code all Alarms again, as described above.
(ii) rotate / re-locate the units (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring).
After making these changes to the RF signal path, the RadioLINK signals may still
not be reaching all the Alarms in your system, even though they have already been
House Coded successfully. (see Section on "RadioLINK Limitations").
It is important to check that all Alarms are communicating in their final installed
positions. If Alarms are rotated and/or resited, we would recommend that all the
Alarms are returned to the default settings and then House Coded again in their
final positions (see above). The RadioLINK interconnection should then be checked
again by button testing all units.
The RadioLINK module can be returned to the originally default settings by pressing
and holding the House Code button on until the blue light turns on solidly and then
flashes slowly. This will take about 10 seconds. This clears any previous House
Code settings.
