This section describes how to set up and enroll the RF4164-433 module.
2.1 Unpack the RF4164-433 Receiver
Check that the following parts are in your RF4164-433 package:
•
RF4164-433 PCB
•
RF4164-433 plastic cabinet
2.2 Find a Mounting Location for the RF4164-433
NOTE: Do not permanently mount the RF4164-433 now. Mount the RF4164-433 receiver after you
have done placement tests with all the wireless devices (see sections 4.1 and 4.2).
Find a place that is:
•
Dry
•
Central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices
•
As high as possible
•
Far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise such as computers,
televisions and electric motors in appliances and heating and air conditioning
units; large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the
antenna.
Make sure that electrical wires will not run over the case of the module when it is
mounted.
When mounting the RF4164-433 in a basement, place the module as high and as
close to the underside of the first floor as possible. The range of the module will be
reduced if the unit is mounted below ground level.
2.3 Connecting the RF4164-433
The RF4164-433 is connected to the control panel
via the Combus.
CAUTION: Remove all power from the panel while
connecting modules to the Combus.
Wire the RF4164-433 to the Combus of the PC4020
according to diagram 1:
2.4 Enroll the RF4164-433
You must enroll one RF4164-433 module with the PC4020 panel before you can
install and program the wireless devices.
If you are installing a PC4020 v3.2 or higher, you can enroll up to eight RF4164-433
wireless receivers. This will give you a greater range in which to install wireless
devices. It will also allow you to install backup wireless receivers with overlapping
ranges, to provide increased security for the wireless zones on the system.
NOTE: The maximum number of wireless zones you can enroll on the PC4020/16128 is 64,
even if you install more than one RF4164-433 wireless receiver.
