COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT
It is possible to assess the radio communication quality of the wireless call point with the translator or expander module by using a
test feature built into the device. After successful programming-linking operation, by changing the link-program switch to the ON
position the device’s LED indicator will start blinking according to table 3.
Always remember to return the switch to the 1 position after the assessment operation: the device will NOT function
correctly whilst the switch is set on the ON position.
Communication quality Assessment Device’s indication
No connection Fail Two red blinks
Link margin is less than 10 dB Poor One red blink
Robust communication with link margin from 10 dB to 20
dB Good One green blink
Robust communication with link margin over 20 dB Excellent Two green blinks Table 3
WIRELESS CALL POINT PLACEMENT
For specific information regarding call point’s spacing, placement and special applications
refer to your specific national standards.
It is strongly advised to mount the device away from metal objects, metal doors, metal
window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors, cables (especially data cables), other-
wise the operating distance may greatly drop. The device should not be installed near
electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with the reception quality.
1) Select the position of the call point before installing and fixing its wall mounting back box.
Verify, from that position, that the communication between the device and the wire
to wireless translator or the wireless expander is correctly established and
working (see the COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT paragraph).
2) Install and fix the correctly oriented back box, in the selected position, with the screws
provided (picture 8).
3) Insert the correctly oriented front operating element onto its back box; see below the INSTALLING THE FRONT OPERATING
ELEMENT paragraph.

the holes for the screws
TESTING THE CALL POINT
In order to test the functionality of the installed wireless call point just press where marked on the call point’s operating window (see
paragraph ACTIVATION). When the call point is activated the following events will occur:
1) a rectangular visual indicator drops into view under the left-top corner of the device's transparent front window
2) an activation message is sent by wireless to the wire to wireless translator module then, successively, through the wiring loop to
the alarm system’s control panel
3) an alarm condition is initiated by the control panel
4) the call point’s visual LED indicator starts blinking indicating its activated status (see “Alarm activation”, table 2).
After each test the device must be reset (see the CALL POINT RESET paragraph).
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.

MAINTENANCE
1) Before starting any maintenance work (e.g. batteries substitution), disarm the system, in order to avoid accidental and unwanted
tamper detection conditions
2) remove the front operating element from its wall mounting back box
3) perform the necessary maintenance operations
4) after the device has been serviced, reinstall it correctly onto its back box, re-arm the system and check correct operation as
described under the TESTING THE CALL POINT paragraph.
FRONT OPERATING ELEMENT REMOVAL
In order to remove the call point’s front operating element from its wall mounting back box, the pegs on the top of the reset key must
be inserted into the two release holes located under the call point; push the pegs into the holes until the front unlocks (picture 10).
During this operation be careful not to twist the reset key or drop the device on the floor.
TAMPER DETECTION SPRING
The wireless call point front operating element has a tamper switch spring fitted on the rear, so that if it is removed from its wall box it
will send a tamper message to the control panel (see picture 4).
CALL POINT RESET
To reset the wire to wireless from an activated condition, it is necessary to:
1) insert the reset key into its entry situated under the front device block and turn it counter-clockwise until the operable front window
unlocks (picture 12)
2) send a reset command from the control panel.
DISCHARGED BATTERIES
If one or both batteries are discharged, this condition is signaled locally by visual LED indicator (table 2), by the wire to wireless
translator and, if implemented, by the system’s control panel. Both must be replaced together.
The device should be removed from its back box and transferred to the safe area before batteries are removed and
replaced to enhance safe handling.
INSTALLING THE FRONT OPERATING ELEMENT
In order to complete the installation, the front operating element must be securely installed onto the wall-mounted back box. In order
to assemble correctly fit the front as illustrated in picture 9.
ACTIVATION
The wireless call point is activated by pressing the where marked on the transparent window on the front of the device as shown in
picture 11.

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 updat-
ed periodically.
Care must be taken not to generate any electrostatic charge on the body of the device
Clean only with a lint-free damp cloth and do not use any cleaning solvents
WARRANTY
All devices are supplied with the benefit of a limited 3 year warranty relating to faulty materials or manu-
facturing defects, effective from the production date indicated on each product. This warranty is invalidat-
ed by mechanical or electrical damage caused in the field by incorrect handling or usage. Product must
be returned via your authorized supplier for repair or replacement together with full information on any
problem identified. Full details on our warranty and product’s returns policy can be obtained upon re-
quest.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
Programming is considered to be completed successfully only if there is an indication of programming success on the
device and on the wire to wireless translator module or on the window of the Wirelex program.
Do not fit the front operating element onto the back box, so to press the tamper spring, before programming and linking to
the wireless system is totally completed: communication problems may rise successively.
Generally speaking: make sure, during the programming-linking phase, that the tamper spring is not pressed at all!
See the TAMPER DETECTION SPRING paragraph for more information on the tamper spring.
