make sure you do not choose a House ID that is in use in a nearby system. To
enter this mode, proceed as follows:
1. Enter your "Installer Code" + # + 2 .
2. The receiver will now "sniff" out any House IDs in the area and display them.
Keep the receiver in this mode for about 2 hours to give a good indication of
the House IDs being used. Use a House ID that is not displayed.
3. To exit the Sniffer Mode, simply enter your Installer Code + OFF.
Since Sniffer Mode effectively disables wireless point reception, Sniffer Mode cannot
be entered while any partition is armed.
Each 5700 series transmitter has DIP switches to set both the transmitter's zone
number (Transmitter ID) and the system House ID. The House ID will be the
same for all transmitters and must match the House ID programmed into the
system (via Device Programming) for the wireless receiver. This can be likened
to a family in which everyone has the same last name (House ID), but each
person has a different first name (Transmitter ID). The zone number must then
be programmed into the system using #93 Menu Mode–Zone Programming
Menus.
• Each transmitter (except 5701 and 5727) is supervised by a check-in signal
that is sent to the receiver at 70-90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is
not received from a transmitter within a certain period of time (Programmed
in field 1*31), the keypad will display the zone number and "CHECK."
• Each transmitter (including 5701 and 5727) is also supervised for a low
battery condition, and will transmit a low battery signal to the receiver when
the battery has approximately 30 days of life remaining. The keypad will
display the transmitter number and "LO BAT," (or "00" and LO BAT for a
wireless keypad).
• Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last about 2 years for 5700 series
transmitters, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless
device being used.
temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may reduce the actual
battery life in a given installation. The wireless system can identify a true low
battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that given point
within the system.
• Button type transmitters should be periodically tested by the user for battery
life (ex. 5701).
• After replacing a low or dead battery, activate the transmitter and enter the
Security Code + OFF to clear its memory of the "Low Battery" signal.
A variety of wireless system transmitters can be used to make up the wireless
zones. These include window/door units, smoke detectors, PIRs, glassbreak
sensors, and panic buttons. Zone number assignments can be from 1-63.
1. Set the DIP switches on each 5700 series transmitter to the appropriate zone
number and House ID. Refer to the Compatible Transmitters Table later in
this section for zone numbers and programming information for each
particular transmitter.
2. Install each transmitter in accordance with the instructions provided with
the transmitter.
Before permanently mounting the transmitters, make sure reception of each
transmitter's signal at the proposed mounting location is adequate. To do this,
perform a Go/No Go test, which is described later in this section.
3. Programme the transmitters using the #93 Menu mode Zone Programming
option.
