LED INDICATORS STATUS MESSAGES
The two LED indicators communicate to the final user the status of the TW-DO-01/BL.
POWERING UP AND LINKING - PRELIMINARY NOTES
TW-DO-01/BL needs to be powered up with the supplied batteries.
Linking is the operation through which TW-DO-01/BL is “wirelessly connected” to a TW-MTI-01, TW-MEC-01 or TW-ME-01 Taurus network
device.
LINKING - WAKE-UP - WITH INSULATING TAB
“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” of the TW-DO-01/BL either on TauREX or on the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
2) Pull out the insulating tab.
3) Trigger the wake-up procedure either from TauREX or from the TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01.
4) Wait the end of the “wake-up” linking procedure.
5) Check on TauREX or from TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 for linking success. Consult their user manual.
LINKING - ONE-BY-ONE - WITH INSULATING TAB
“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 TW-DO-01/BL 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) Pull out the insulating tab.
4) Wait the end of the “one-by-one” linking procedure.
5) Check on TauREX or from TW-MTI-01 / TW-MEC-01 for linking success.
Consult their user manual.
Always install the battery cover, since it is a vital
part of the tamper detection feature. Make sure
the battery cover is safely fixed, blocked and
closed. Make sure that the internal tamper spring fits
completely into its battery cover’s lodgement. Check,
more than once, that the cover’s external tamper switch
clicks when pressed.
When extracting the insulating tab, keep both
batteries into their lodgements with your thumb,
since they can be accidentally pulled out too.

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 detectors may re-
spond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application advice should be sought for
special risks. Detectors 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 prac-
tice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards. Appropriate risk assessment
should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
Use only in Taurus fire detection and alarm systems.
