Installation Instructions
Checking Transmitter Enrollment (Sniffer Mode)
Use this mode to verify that all transmitters have been properly programmed. Make sure both
partitions are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command.
1. Press [Installer code] + [#] + 3.
Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system
will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes, and try again.
The keypads in both partitions will display all zone numbers of wireless units (in both partitions)
programmed into the system. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal.
As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that
transmitter disappears from the display.
2. After all transmitters have been checked, exit the sniffer mode by keying [Installer code] + OFF.
IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode
(by entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation.
Notes:
•
All BR type units must physically be activated to clear the display.
•
When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other
buttons on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters, which
have multiple loops (zones).
•
Any transmitter that is not "enrolled" will not turn off its zone number.
Go/No Go Test Mode
The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and
allow you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters
permanently. This mode is similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver
gain is reduced. This will enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is
received with sufficient signal amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter [Installer code] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. For multi-partition systems, repeat
this test for each partition.
2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to
be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each
transmitter. Do not conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will
cause inaccurate results.
a. The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone
number.
b. If the keypad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another location.
Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then
permanently mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [any user code (partition-specific)] + OFF.
