INTRODUCTION This is a guide for the configuration and management of Taurus wireless systems through the keyboard - display interface system present on FI750/RF/W2W network devices. Another way to configure Taurus systems is through the TauREX software configuration tool; for the TauREX software and its user guide refer to your system supplier.

SETTING THE EXPANDER PARAMETERS - CENTRAL AND EXPANSION NODES Setting the expander parameters permits you to specifically characterize the network device (FI750/RF/W2W, FI750/RF/CWE, FI750/RF/WE) you are Central nodes (FI750/RF/W2W, FI750/RF/CWE) ARE indicated as expanders. The term expander is NOT limited to FI750/RF/WE. In Taurus wireless systems, central node’s sequential number is always 1.

SETTING THE EXPANDER PARAMETERS - CENTRAL AND EXPANSION NODES (CONTINUED) [PSU configuration] FI750/RF/W2W, FI750/RF/CWE and FI750/RF/WE require EN 54-4 compliant power supply units; FI750/RF/W2W can be power supplied by the loop (as long as the control panel is EN 54-4 compliant). Power supply ’...

FURTHER ACTIONS MAY BE REQUIRED AFTER CHANGING CERTAIN SETTINGS Modifications on system and expanders settings may imply that you will have to take further programming or re-linking actions. These actions will be notified to you from the onboard interface, nevertheless some words will be spent here: - if you change certain system settings, all expanders need a programming action to be performed on each of them.

ADDING AND LINKING DEVICES In order to add one or more devices to the Taurus system, perform the following steps in sequence: 1) Add one or more virtual devices to the system. 2) Link the real device or devices to the system. ADDING A VIRTUAL DEVICE To add a device: Please enter password...
Page 12
ADDING A VIRTUAL DEVICE (CONTINUED) The [Set device params] window permits you to change these parameters: Type The type of the device that has to be added (detector, call point...). See appendix B at the end of the manual. Subtype The specific type of device: if Type is a Detector, the subtype can be, for example, Optical.

LINKING A REAL DEVICE - WAKEUP LINK A child device is made part of the Taurus system only through the linking operation. After one or more virtual child devices have been added, perform the following procedure: 1) Be sure that the child device or all the child devices you intend to link through “wakeup mode” are all powered up, unlinked, reset and their switch set in “wakeup”...

SUBSTITUTION ATTEMPT Substitution attempt of a child device linked to the translator: it happens when there is a device that communicates with the FI750/RF/W2W using the same RF address of another device correctly linked. • The device that caused the substitution attempt is disabled by the FI750/RF/W2W and blinks amber two times and repeats the blinking periodically.
