Section 5: Testing & Mounting; Test The Reception Of Wireless Devices - DSC TR5164 Instructions D'installation

5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices

Testing the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is mounted is very important.
Following these steps tests the signal strength between the TR5164 and the wireless devices.
All wireless devices can be tested together (global placement testing) or individually.
NOTE: After the wireless devices are enrolled, Installer Programming must be exited and then
re-entered at least once before performing a placement test.
To perform a global placement test:
1. Temporarily place the wireless devices in the preferred mounting locations.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
3. For WT5500 keypads, enter section [904] then key in [00]. In this mode, all wireless devices are
placement tested at the same time.
4. For PK keypads, set section [804][900] option 8 to ON. Enter section [904] then key in the zone
number of any wireless device.
5. Activate the device(s) as described in the associated installation sheet. For two-way wireless
keypads, press any key except the # key. The device name and zone number are displayed on the
LCD.
Read the test results at the keypad:
Result
Good
Bad
6. Activate the device until three "good" results in a row are achieved.
7. Mount the wireless devices where results are good. Devices indicating a bad result must be moved
to another location. The device may only have to be moved a few inches to correct a bad result.
Do not mount any device where a "bad" test result is indicated.
8. Perform step 4 for each wireless device enrolled on the TR5164.
Wait until the placement test of one device is shown/sounded before testing the next one.
Continue to test the devices until both the TR5164 and the devices are in good locations. If several
wireless devices produce "bad" test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a different location
(see Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a suitable location).
9. To exit the placement test and return to Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
Testing Individual Devices
1. Temporarily place the device in the preferred mounting location.
2. At a system keypad, enter [
3. Enter programming section [904] for wireless devices. For PK keypads, ensure section
[804][900] option 8 is OFF.
4. Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device.
5. Activate the device until a result is displayed on the keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell.
6. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 5. Continue to test the devices until
both the TR5164 and the devices are in acceptable locations.
If several wireless devices produce "bad" test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a better
location (see Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a location for the TR5164).
7. To exit the placement test and Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
