Call Period (CP)
The "CP" or Call Period represents how often the unit checks in
with the bridge (central monitoring station). It can be set to a value
between 3 and 65. Here's how it works:
• If the value is between 3 and 60, it represents the number of
minutes between check-ins (with 60 being the default, meaning 1
hour).
• If the value is 61, the unit will check in every 1.5 hours.
• A value of 62 means a 2-hour check-in interval.
• 63 represents a 3-hour interval.
• 64 means the unit will check in every 4 hours.
• 65 sets the check-in interval to 5 hours.

Where there are obstacles or great distances between units, it is
recommended to select some units to act as repeaters. Keep this
number to a minimum to minimise battery wastage.
You can set a unit to repeat calls from other units that otherwise
may be out of range of the IP Bridge. EG: CR5 CE7. In this
example, this unit only will repeat call messages from units 5,6 and 7.
Master Unit (NU)
Any unit can be set to be a master unit. In this mode, it will
annunciate the same message as all the other units but with the
addition of which unit in the system has been activated. Master units
can also be used to reset the whole system. (0) is the default and this
means the unit is not set to be a master unit. Set to (1) in order to
set as a master unit. We suggest setting only one master unit in any
series.
Relay Function (RF)
Relay 1 has volt free contacts that will change state on activation of
an alarm. You can select to make it change state for the duration
of the alarm or just for 1 second when the alarm commences. This
relay can be assigned to Fire only, First Aid only or both Fire and
First Aid.
Tamper Selection (TS)
This unit has two tamper sensors that will transmit to an IP Bridge
and also activate the onboard Relay 2. The relay will close contact
for 2 seconds during the tamper period. A 3-axis inertia sensor
detects when the unit is repositioned or moved (accelerometer). A
lid tamper detects when the unit's lid is removed. In the settings
you can either disable or select either or both tamper sensors.
0 = No tamper
1 = Lid detection (default)
2 = Accelerometer (position change)
3 = Both Lid Tamper and Accelerometer
Lost Signal (LS)
If the unit cannot contact other units in the system, it will display lost
signal by alternatively flashing the red and green LEDs around the
buttons. Once communication has been restored, the flashing will
stop.
If only one unit is used, then this setting should be set to off (0)
otherwise it will continuously indicate lost communication.
LEVEL 2 SETTINGS
Advanced. We recommend using the default settings unless
there is a specific requirement to change. Please take extra
care when changing and test setting changes work as expected
before use.
• To enter level 2, press and hold the SELECT button until the
display now shows n1.
• Now press the UP button to go to n2.
• Use the SELECT button to scroll through the level 2 menu and
the UP/ DOWN buttons to make changes.
• Press and hold M to store the settings. Wait for the dashes to
move from the bottom to the top of the display.
