Receiver Configuration Dialog
Once the Receiver and Alert Unit data for a Transponder has been entered into the Transponder Database, this
dialog is used to verify that each Receiver is working and is properly addressed in the database. This setup tool
identifies errors in the address switch settings of Receivers and Alert Units as well as data entry errors in the
Transponder Database.
"To Confirm the RF Reception"
1.
To confirm the RF reception, LED and sounder operation and location of each Receiver, from the Setup
menu select Receiver Configuration. The following window will appear:
2.
Select the desired Transponder. Click on the? button next to the point number. A bus and point grid will
appear showing the programmed receivers. Click on the lowest point number button. If the first Receiver is
point zero (0) click on the Zero button, or if the first Receiver is point one (1) click on the 1 button. The point
number will be automatically entered. Click on the Put this receiver in setup mode button. The red and
green LEDs will light for the selected receiver on the selected Transponder. Take the Maintenance
Transmitter and go to the selected Receiver. The red and green light should be lit when you arrive at the first
receiver location. Transmit an alarm from the Maintenance Transmitter. The Receiver should activate by
blinking the red lights and sounding the sounder (if the sounder jumper is in place on the Receiver). This will
confirm that the RF portion of the Receiver is working and you are at the right location. The software will
then turn off the LEDs on the tested Receiver. The Receiver with the next higher point number will be
automatically selected and its red and green LEDs will light. Proceed to that Receiver and perform the same
operation with an alarm on the Maintenance Transmitter until the operation of all Receivers has been
confirmed and all Receivers are working and in their proper location on that Transponder. If the LEDs fail to
light, the LED jumpers may be missing on that Receiver, the Receiver may be set to the wrong address, or
you may be at the wrong location. If the LEDs are lit but the Receiver fails to respond to the maintenance
alarm there may be a problem with the Receiver board or another Receiver is receiving the signal stronger.
3.
Repeat the above sequence starting with step 1 for all Transponders and Receivers in the system.
Note: The illuminated LED's indicate to the service person standing near the device that the Receiver is
actually the one currently in the setup mode. If the LED's of the designated receiver are not
illuminated, there is probably an error in the switch settings of the Receiver or an error in the
address in the Transponder Database. To help resolve such problems, the person at the Central
Console can command any device to illuminate its LED's and/or sound its Horn.
