Argus Security TW-RI-01 User manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TW-RI-01 remote indicator is an output device which, activated by the control panel, switches on its red light in the event of an emergency
fire alarm. It is battery powered and doesn’t need any system cabling installation.
The activation command is sent from the control panel to the indicator through the wire to wireless translator interface module and other
possible wireless expander modules. It is intended to be used within the Argus Taurus range of products.
LOCATION SELECTION
Select a location for the remote indicator that conforms to your local applicable safety standards and that is in a good posi tion for sending /
receiving wireless signals to / from the father TW-MTI-01, TW-MEC-01 or TW-ME-01 network device.
Mount the remote indicator as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors,
cables (especially from computers), otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop.
The TW-RI-01 must NOT be installed near electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with its wireless communication
quality.

It is advisable to use the TW-SKT-01 survey kit to
locate a good wireless installation location.

LED INDICATOR STATUS MESSAGES
The LED indicator communicates to the final user the status of the TW-RI-01.
POWERING UP AND LINKING - PRELIMINARY NOTES
TW-RI-01 needs to be powered up with the supplied batteries.
Linking is the operation through which TW-RI-01 is “wirelessly connected” to a TW-MTI-01, TW-MEC-01 or TW-ME-01 Taurus network device.
POWERING UP - FIRST TIME USE
Use this procedure the first time you power up a TW-RI-01.
1) Make sure the Link / program switch is set on “ON”.
2) Insert the two supplied batteries into their device’s lodgments.
Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.
POWERING UP - DEVICE LINKED TO THE SYSTEM
Use this procedure when a TW-RI-01 is successfully linked to its Taurus system and you have to extract one or both batteries (e.g. batteries
substitution).
1) Reinsert the battery or both batteries into their lodgments.
Do not touch the Link / program switch.
If performing a batteries substitution, use two brand new batteries and substitute both of them.
Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.
POWERING UP - RECOVERY
Use this procedure when you fail to link successfully a TW-RI-01 or you want to link it again.
1) Move alternatively the Link / program switch 5 times.
2) Set the Link / program switch on “ON”.
3) Insert the two supplied batteries into their device’s lodgments.
Ensure that the batteries are installed properly, with their polarities matching the indications on the device.
LINKING - WAKE-UP
“Wake-up” linking consists in associating one or more child devices to the Taurus system altogether in a single operation.
Wake-up is performed either through the TauREX software or the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 keyboard-screen interface; it CANNOT be done
through TW-ME-01 devices.
1) Create the “virtual model” (be aware that the Output Module type has to be selected to link a remote indicator) of the TW-RI-01 either on
TauREX or on the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
2) Power-up the remote indicator (either “first time use” or “recovery”).
3) Set the Link / program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”.
4) Trigger the wake-up procedure either from TauREX or from the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
5) Wait the end of the “wake-up” linking procedure.
6) Check on TauREX or from TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 for linking success. Consult their user manual.

LINKING - ONE-BY-ONE
“One-by-one” linking consists in associating one child device at a time to the Taurus system.
This operation is performed either through the TauREX software or the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 keyboard-screen interface; it CANNOT be
done through TW-ME-01 devices.
1) Create the “virtual model” of the child device (be aware that the Output Module type has to be selected to link a remote indicator) either on
TauREX or on the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
2) Trigger the linking procedure either from TauREX or from the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
3) Power-up the child device (either “first time use” or “recovery”).
4) Set the child device’s Link / program switch OPPOSITE to “ON”.
5) Wait the end of the “one-by-one” linking procedure.
6) Check on TauREX or from TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 for linking success. Consult their user manual.
FIXING THE BACK COVER
HOW TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL THE FRONT COVER
Remote indicator’s installation requires the device’s top cover to be removed from the its bottom (see picture 3):
1) Screw the grain inwards until it stops
2) Press the tab shown in the picture and gently and carefully remove the cover
Reinstalling the cover consists in performing the operation portrayed in picture 3.
TAMPER DETECTION FEATURE
The opening of the wireless remote indicator’s case is signaled by the control panel as a tampering attempt; the device’s PCB is equipped with
a spring-tactile switch assembly: if the case is closed this spring is kept pressed, but when released (and this occurs if the case is opened) the
remote indicator sends a tamper attempt message to the control panel which provides the signalization of such event.
The signalization of this event is automatically revoked a short time after the case is properly closed again.
RESET
To reset the wireless remote indicator from alarm it is necessary to reset the system from the control panel: alarm indication will deactivate.

TESTING
In order to test the functionality of the installed wireless indicator proceed as follows:
activate an alarm condition on the control panel (by a call-point or sensor in the in-
stalled system): the control panel will lit the alarm indicator.
After each test the device must be reset from the control panel (see the RESET paragraph).
If the test fails check whether the batteries are charged, if mistakes were done previously or even if the system is activated. If the remote
indicator’s functionality is hopeless, send back the device to your distributor for repair or substitution.
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
BATTERY FAULTS AND BATTERY SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURE
When one or both batteries are low in charge, a specific fault message is routed to the
control panel. This condition is locally signaled by the module’s status indicator LED
(check table 1).If such event occurs:
1) Remove the front cover.
2) Extract both batteries.
3) Insert both new batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
See POWERING UP - DEVICE LINKED TO THE SYSTEM.
4) Reinstall the front cover.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION *
*See TDS-TWRI technical specification document for further technical data.
BATTERY SPECIFICATION
*Battery lifespan depends by environmental conditions, default monitor settings and link quality.
Local safety standards may require you
to test these devices on a regular basis.
When a low battery condition is indicat-
ed, both batteries must be changed
altogether.
Batteries must be brand new.
Do not touch the Link / program switch.
Ensure that the batteries are installed properly,
with their polarities matching the indications on
the device.
WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant to environmental
deterioration. However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to replace the devices in order to
minimize the risk of reduced performance caused by external factors. Ensure that this device is only used with
compatible control panels.
Detection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.
Smoke sensors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application advice should be
sought for special risks. Sensors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist between them and the fire location and
may be affected by special environmental conditions. Refer to and follow national codes of practice and other
internationally recognized fire engineering standards.
Appropriate risk assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodi-
cally.
Use only in Taurus fire detection and alarm systems.
