Devices
This chapter explains how to register devices to the system and the programming options for each
device. For further information, please refer to the installation instructions included with
each device.
7.1. Device
Descriptors
You can assign a 16-character descriptor to each device except the Wireless Sounder. These
descriptors help identify the devices when you operate and program the system.
To edit a device descriptor:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Devices [91].
2.
Select a device type.
3.
From the device’s sub-menu, select Descriptor.
4.
Edit the descriptor using the alphanumeric keypad.
5.
Press '
√ʹ when you have finished editing.

7.2.1.
Registering Wireless Devices
For the system to recognize individual devices, each device must be registered to the system. For
example, if the device is a wireless transmitter, registration enables the system to identify the source
of a received transmission. Each device has an individual encrypted ID code. Registering the device to
the system familiarizes the system with this code.
To register a device to the system:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Devices [91].
2.
Select the type of transmitter you want to register. For example, if you want to register a
wireless detector to a zone, select Zones.
3.
Select the specific device you want to register (for example, Zone 4); the system initiates
Registration mode. During Registration mode, the system waits for two transmissions
from the device.
If a device has already been registered at the selected location, the system will not initiate
Registration mode. If the device has already been registered at another location, attempts to
register it are ignored by the system. Zones 1-32 are intended for wireless detectors
by default.
4.
Register the device – refer to each device’s installation instructions in Appendix B for
further details.
5.
When two transmissions have been received,

is displayed.

√ʹ to
confirm registration.
7.2.2.
Deleting Wireless Devices
When you want to remove a device from the system, you have to delete the device. It is important
to delete unused devices for two reasons. Firstly, you have to delete a device before you can register
a new transmitter in its place. Secondly, if the device is a wireless detector, it is important to delete
the device so that the system will not react to the transmitter’s failure to send supervision signals.
