Getting Started

S E C T I O N 2

This section describes how to set up and enroll the PC4164-RS module.

2.1 Unpack the PC4164-RS

Check that the following parts are in your PC4164-RS package:

• PC4164-RS PCB

• PC4164-RS plastic cabinet

• 2 antennas

2.2 Install the Antennas

Attach both antennas to the terminals marked ANT1 and ANT2, (not GND1 and

GND2). Install the antennas ONLY as shown in the following diagrams:

DO NOT install the antennas this way:

2.3 Find a Mounting Location for the PC4164-RS

NOTE : Do not permanently mount the PC4164-RS now. Mount the PC4164-RS receiver after you have done placement tests with all the wireless devices (see sections 4.1

and 4.2).

Find a place that is:

• Dry

• Central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices

• As high as possible

• Far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise such as computers, televisions and electric motors in appliances and heating and air conditioning units; large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the antenna.

Make sure that electrical wires will not run over the antenna(s) of the module when it is mounted.

When mounting the PC4164-RS in a basement, place the module as high and as close to the underside of the first floor as possible. The range of the module will be smaller if the unit is mounted below ground level.

2.5 Enroll the PC4164-RS

You must enroll the PC4164-RS module with the PC4010/4020 panel, before you can install and program the WLS9XX devices. The PC4164-RS will reserve up to 56 zones on a PC4010 and up to 64 zones on a PC4020 for wireless use.

To make sure you have enough space for hardwire zones, you should enroll the

PC4164-RS after you have enrolled all the hardwire zone expander modules. For example, if you enroll the PC4164-RS first on a PC4020, it would use up zones 17 to

80, leaving only 48 spots left for hardwire zone expander modules.

NOTE : You cannot have more than 64 zones on the PC4010 and 128 zones on the

PC4020. If the total number of zones theoretically available on the zone expanders exceeds the maximum for the panel, you will not be able to use the extra zones.

Bad

1 Beep/squawk

2 Beeps/squawks

3 Beeps/squawks

T E S T I N G & M O U N T I N G D E V I C E S

Activate the device until you get 3 good or fair results in a row. Wait 10 seconds between each test on the same device. You may mount wireless devices where results were good or fair.

Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You may only have to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.

NOTE : Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.

If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move the

PC4164-RS to a better location. (See section 2.3 for tips on finding a location for the PC4164-RS.)

8. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 7. Continue to test the devices until both the PC4164-RS and the devices are in good or fair locations.

4.2 Test WLS908, WLS909 and WLS910 Reception

The panic pendant (WLS908), wireless key (WLS909) and handheld keypad

(WLS910) cannot be tested using the module placement test described above. To ensure that the PC4164-RS is receiving transmissions from these devices, conduct the following tests:

WLS908: Activate the Panic alarm at several different points in the installation.

WLS909: Use the function keys to arm and disarm the system at several different points in the installation.

NOTE : Do not use a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic key to test your WLS909 as pressing these buttons will always notify your central station of a non-medical emergency.

WLS910: Use the keypad to arm and disarm the system from several different points in the installation.

If these devices do not operate from all points in the installation, you will need to move the PC4164-RS receiver. Moving the PC4164-RS higher will usually improve the reception.

If you move the PC4164-RS, repeat the tests described in sections 4.1 and 4.2 on all the wireless devices. Continue to test the devices until you have found locations with good or fair placement results for the PC4164-RS and the WLS904, WLS905,

WLS906 and WLS907 devices, and there is acceptable range between the PC4164-RS and the WLS908, WLS909 and WLS910 devices.

T E S T I N G & M O U N T I N G D E V I C E S

4.3 Mount the PC4164-RS and Wireless Devices

Do not permanently mount the PC4164-RS until you have tested reception with all the wireless devices (see sections 4.1 and 4.2). Once you have done this and have a good location, mount the PC4164-RS:

1. Remove the four screws that attach the PC4164-RS to the plastic cabinet.

2. Pull the Combus wires through the hole at the back of the cabinet.

If you have conducted the placement test described in section 4.1 and got 3 “Good” or “Fair” results in a row for each device, you can mount the wireless devices. See the Installation sheet for each device for mounting instructions.

4.4 Battery Test For WLS908 Panic Pendants

Panic Pendants cannot be tested using the module placement test, or the walk test.

You must assign panic pendant zones to one or more partitions before you can test the Panic Pendants. Follow these steps to test Panic Pendants:

1. Begin testing when your PC4010/4020 system is in the ready state and the

LCD keypad Ready light is on.

2. Go to a partition to which the pendant is assigned.

NOTE : You can only view the Panic Pendant test result on a partition LCD keypad. To view the test result on a global LCD keypad, you must “loan” the keypad to the partition before you begin the test. See your PC4010/4020 Installation Manual for information on global and partition keypads.

3. Press and hold the small middle button on the pendant marked “Test” for two seconds.

4. If the pendant’s battery is low, the LCD keypad’s Trouble light will turn ON and the keypad will give a series of continuous beeps.

Additional Programming Notes

S E C T I O N 6

6.1 Device Supervision

When supervision of a wireless device on a zone is turned ON, the panel will show a trouble if a wireless zone stops working or is removed from the system. When supervision is turned OFF, the panel will not show a trouble.

For UL listed systems, supervision must be enabled.

NOTE : Wireless Keys, Panic Pendants and Handheld Keypads are NOT supervised.

A zone supervisory is a test transmission that each wireless zone sends to the

PC4164-RS. When the PC4164-RS receives the supervisory transmission from the zone, the PC4164-RS will transmit this information to the control panel.

If the control panel does not get a supervisory transmission from a zone within the

Device Fail time, the zone will be considered “missing” causing a Device Fault.

The next supervisory transmission that the PC4164-RS receives from the “missing” zone will restore communication with that zone and restore the Zone Supervisory

Fault. The Device Fail timer will also be reset.

WLS908 Panic Pendant

The panic pendant does not transmit a supervisory signal. This is so that the user will be able to take it away from the premise. You must disable wireless supervision for each zone a panic pendant is assigned to.

Supervision is ON by default on all wireless zones. To change the supervision option for a zone:

Change the Supervision Option

1. At a LCD keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s code].

2. Enter Ref #[001306] to go to the Supv Window section.

3. Devices are listed by zone number in the order in which they were enrolled.

Scroll to each device. Press [*] to turn the supervision option ON or OFF for that device.

4. To exit, press [#].

Change the Device Fail Time

The default amount of time is 3 hours.

1. At a LCD keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s code].

2. Enter Ref #[001307] to go to the Device Fail Time section.

3. Enter the time as [HHMM] (valid entries 01:00 - 23:59).

4. To exit, press [#].

6.2 Trouble Conditions

The PC4010/4020 always watches for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble condition occurs, the LCD keypad “Trouble” light will turn on and the keypad will beep. Press [*][2] to display the trouble conditions.

The following trouble conditions apply to the PC4164-RS. For a description of all troubles, please see Section 16 “Diagnostics and Troubleshooting” in the PC4010/4020

Installation Manual.

• PC4164 Tamper • Smoke Low Sense

• RF Jam Detected (see below) • Device Low Batt

• Device Fault (see section 6.1)

Wireless Device Low Battery Trouble Transmission Delay

When a device reports a low battery trouble, the keypad will indicate the trouble immediately, but the panel will delay transmission of the trouble to the monitoring station. You can program the length of the delay (in days) in Installer ’s programming. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the low battery trouble will be transmitted.

The low battery alarm and restore codes will only be reported once per armed period. The Low Battery Restore transmission is not delayed. The default transmission delay is 7 days.

To change the transmission delay:

1. At a LCD keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s code].

2. Enter Ref #[00040211] to go to the 4164 Low Bat Dly section.

3. Enter the new transmission delay (from 000 to 255 days).

4. To exit, press [#].

Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices

1. Remove the cover of the device from its back plate. This creates a tamper condition on the zone.

2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of each component. Be sure to note the proper orientation of the batteries as you install them.

3. When the fresh batteries are in place, re-attach the cover to the back plate. The tamper is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble restoral signal to the

PC4164-RS. The battery trouble is now clear.

NOTE : When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all devices should be replaced at the same time.

NOTE : WLS908 Wireless Panic Pendants contain no user-serviceable parts. When the device exhibits a low battery condition, the unit must be replaced.

A D D I T I O N A L P R O G R A M M I N G N O T E S

Enable RF Jam Detect Trouble

The RF Jam Detect trouble condition will be generated and logged when the

PC4164-RS module detects an attempt to block RF signals. This tells the user that the PC4164-RS is not receiving wireless device transmissions. The panel will transmit the General System Trouble reporting code.

The default setting for this option is OFF. To enable warning of this trouble condition:

1. At a LCD keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s code].

2. Enter Ref #[000200] to go to the System Toggles section.

3. Scroll to RF Jam Detect.

4. Press [*] to toggle the option ON or OFF.

5. To exit System Toggles, press [#}.

Troubleshooting

S E C T I O N 7

1. When I enter the 2-digit zone number when adding a wireless device, the keypad gives me a long beep.

You cannot enter ESNs unless the PC4164-RS wireless receiver is enrolled. See section

2 for instructions on enrolling the PC4164-RS module.

2. I have entered the ESN for the device but when I violate the device, the zone does not show open on the keypad.

Check the following:

• Check that you are looking at a keypad on the same partition as the device you are testing

• Check that the ESN has been entered correctly

• Check that the zone is enabled for one or more partitions.

• Check that the zone is programmed for something other than “Null Operation.”

3. When I try a module placement test I get no result or “Bad” results.

Check the following (see sections 4.1 and 4.2 for more information on testing devices):

• Verify that you are testing the correct zone

• Verify that the correct ESN was entered when the device was enrolled

• Verify that the device is in range of the PC4164-RS. Try testing the device in the same room as the receiver.

• Confirm that the PC4164-RS is properly connected to the Combus (see section

2 for PC4164-RS set up and wiring instructions).

• Check that you are testing the zone correctly (see sections 4.1 and 4.2 for testing instructions)

• Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.

• Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reaching the PC4164-RS.

The device must be located where consistent “Good”or “Fair” results are obtained.

If several devices show “Bad” results, or if panic pendants and wireless keys operate inconsistently, move the receiver. See section 2.3 for tips on choosing a mounting location for the PC4164-RS.

4. The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in front of the unit.

The LED is for walk test purposes only. See your WLS904 instruction sheet for walk test instructions.

5. The WLS908 shows a supervisory fault three hours after I enrolled it.

The WLS908 does not transmit a supervisory signal. You must disable supervision for the zone the WLS908 is assigned to (see section 6.1).

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors

A P P E N D I X A

Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. In existing homes, NFPA Standard 72 requires that a smoke detector be installed outside each sleeping area and on each additional story of the family unit.

The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that

NFPA Standard 72 (National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,

Quincy MA 02269 ) be consulted and that the smoke detector manufacturer’s literature be used for detailed installation instructions.

It is recommended that additional smoke detectors beyond those required be installed for increased protection. The added areas include: basement, bedrooms, dining rooms, furnace room, utility room and hallways not protected by the required detectors.

Figure 2: In the family living units with more than one sleeping area, a smoke detector should be located to protect each sleeping area.

NOTE : The Smoke Detector is designed to use Eveready Energizer E91 Alkaline

Batteries. Do not use other brands of batteries with the Smoke Detector. Using brands other than the Eveready Energizer will void UL approval, and may affect the system’s operation.

NOTE: Measurements shown are to the closest edge of the detector.

Figure 4: Smoke Detector mounting - “Dead” Air

Space. The smoke from a fire generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across the ceiling surface and begins to bank down from the ceiling.

The corner where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke may have difficulty penetrating. In most fires, this “dead” air space measures about 4 in. (0.1m) along the ceiling from the corner and about 4 in. (0.1m) down the wall as shown in Figure 4. Detectors should not be placed in the dead” air space.

■ I n a d e q u a t e I n s t a l l a t i o n

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of suff icient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.

■ C r i m i n a l K n ow l e d g e

This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.

■ Ac c e s s by I n t r u d e r s

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.

■ P ow e r F a i l u re

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.

■ F a i l u re o f R e p l a c e a b l e B a t t e r i e s

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identif ies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.

( Wi re l e s s ) D ev i c e s

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

■ S y s t e m U s e r s

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.

■ S m o ke D e t e c t o r s

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.

Every f ire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of f ires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

■ M o t i o n D e t e c t o r s

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants.

Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection.

They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, f ireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

■ Wa r n i n g D ev i c e s

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

■ Te l e p h o n e L i n e s

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.

■ I n s u ff i c i e n t Ti m e

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

■ C o m p o n e n t F a i l u re

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

■ I n a d e q u a t e Te s t i n g

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

■ S e c u r i t y a n d I n s u r a n c e

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
