NetworX Version 3 Installation Manual
After the siren/IO module is learned-in you need to set up threshold values and turn the
antipassivation feature ON, if necessary. Lithium cells require regular exercising to prevent electrode
passivation, which leads to an increase of the internal cell resistance. Antipassivation is a function
that avoids formation of this passivation layer. The following example sets the threshold low battery
value to 30 x 0.1 V, threshold low auxillary voltage to 98 x 0.1 V and turns the antipassivation
feature ON for the RF siren/IO module 1.

Setting supervision windows

There are three wireless supervision options: Short Window, Normal Window and Fire Window. The
PIR sensor and door/window sensors follow the short and normal supervision windows.
•
If a PIR or door/windows sensor does not report within the time specified in Short
Window, the system does not allow the user to arm the system.
•
If a PIR or door/windows sensor does not report within the time specified in Normal
Window, an RF Sensor Lost condition is reported to the central station and a service
message is displayed on the keypad.
868 MHz transmitters typically report every 20 minutes.
Note: If you are installing a system in Holland or Belgium, you must set the supervision values to 2 hours as long
supervision window. Set the short supervision window in Belgium and Holland to 24 minutes. Fire transmitter
supervision windows should be set to 4 hours.
