2 Installation Considerations
– With the exception of the ISW-BSR1-WOX Outdoor Siren,
wLSN devices are intended only for indoor, dry
applications.
– Avoid mounting wLSN devices in areas with large metallic
objects, electrical panels (for example: control panel or
fuse box) or electric motors. They might reduce the radio-
frequency (RF) range of a wLSN device.
– Avoid installing the devices where excessive humidity or
moisture, or temperatures outside of the acceptable
operating range exist.
– When installing a wLSN Network, plan your installation
based on the control panel and wLSN specifications, and
the radio frequency signal strength (RFSS) between
remote devices and the wLSN Diversity Hub.
Table 2.1 wLSN General Specifications
NOTICE!
Refer to the control panel’s documentation for detailed
instructions on wLSN programming and device setup.
Humidity Range 0% to 95%
Frequency Band 868 to 869 MHz European Security Band

3 RFSS Mode (RF Signal Strength)
Perform a radio frequency signal strength (RFSS) test to
determine the best installation locations for the wLSN Diversity
Hub and each wLSN device.
To perform the RFSS test:
1. Prepare the wLSN Diversity Hub for RFSS testing.
Refer to Section 3.1 Page 9.
2. Conduct an RFSS test using the wLSN Diversity Hub and
Installation Tool. Refer to Section 3.2 Page 10.
CAUTION!
When testing for RF signal strength, the wLSN Diversity Hub
and the control panel must be set to the same EN50131
Security Grade.
CAUTION!
If you have wLSN devices that you will not immediately install,
reinsert the battery tabs or remove the batteries to prevent
battery depletion.
NOTICE!
Do not permanently install the wLSN Diversity Hub or any wLSN
devices until you receive acceptable, or better, signal strength
readings between the wLSN Diversity Hub and all wLSN device
locations.
If you receive unacceptable or marginal readings at several
wLSN device locations, move the wLSN Diversity Hub to a
different location and re-test for RFSS until you receive at least
acceptable readings at all wLSN device locations.

3.1 Prepare the wLSN Diversity Hub for RFSS
Testing
1. Unlock the locking mechanisms on the bottom of the hub.
Refer to Figure 3.1.
2. To remove the hub from the base, push gently down on the
hub and slide it off the base. Refer to Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Removing the wLSN Diversity Hub from the Base
3. Set the S1 rotary switch to the appropriate position
according to the RF power level or EN50131 security grade
you wish to use. Refer to Table 3.1 for RFSS Mode switch
settings. Refer to Figure 5.2, Page 20 for the location of the
rotary switches.
Table 3.1 S1 Switch RFSS Mode Settings
Refer to the individual device’s specification for the EN50131
classification.
4. Find a suitable location for the hub base and apply power
by connecting it to the control panel (refer to the control
panel’s installation instructions), or by temporarily
connecting a 9 VDC to 12 VDC battery.
5. Insert the wLSN Diversity Hub onto the base.
The wLSN Diversity Hub is now ready for RFSS testing.

3.2 RFSS Test using the wLSN Diversity Hub
and wLSN Installation Tool
1. Go to the installation location for the first wLSN device.
2. Press any key on the wLSN Installation Tool to turn it on.
The screen shows the start-up display.
3. Press and hold the [*] and [#] keys to enter RFSS Mode.
Select Mode 3 to test RFSS.
4. Press [3] to select Mode 3.
Mode 3 determines the signal strength based on the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR).
SNR is measured in decibels (dB):
–Unacceptable: <30 dB
–Acceptable: 35 dB
–Good: 40 dB
–Very Good: 45 dB
–Excellent: 50 dB
5. Hold the wLSN Installation Tool at the installation location
for at least 10 sec.
CAUTION!
When testing for RF signal strength, the wLSN Diversity Hub
and the control panel must be set to the same EN50131
Security Grade.
NOTICE!
When testing RFSS for the wLSN smoke detector, you must use
the wLSN Installation Tool. The wLSN smoke detector cannot
measure RFSS.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. System Reference Guide F01U138553 | 01 | 2010.05
6. If the reading on the wLSN Installation Tool is at least
acceptable, mount the base for the wireless device.
If the reading on the wLSN Installation Tool is is either
unacceptable or marginal, find a better location for the
wireless device.
7. Repeat Step 5 until all bases are mounted in acceptable
locations.
Do not mount the wireless devices onto the bases at this
time.
8. Set the rotary switch on the wLSN Diversity Hub to normal
operation:
– Position 1 for Data Bus Address 50 (default)
– Position 2 for Data Bus Address 51
9. Configure the wLSN devices as instructed in your control
panel documentation.

4.1 Discovering a wLSN Device
Discovery is the process by which the wLSN Diversity Hub
identifies and includes new devices into a system.
For the wLSN network to operate properly, the following
process must occur:
For specific information on the discovery process, refer to your
control panel documentation.
To default a device that is already enrolled into an existing
wLSN network, refer to Section 4.2 Defaulting a wLSN Device,

4. Release the tamper switch button within five sec after the
LED on the wLSN device turns on.
The LED on the wLSN device briefly turns off and then on,
indicating that the wLSN device was successfully
defaulted.
Defaulting a Glass Break Detector or Siren (ISW-BSR1-WIX
and -WOX)
If the wall tamper tab is removed and you must default the
Glass Break Detector, Indoor Siren (ISW-BSR1-WIX), or
Outdoor Siren (ISW-BSR1-WOX):
1. Remove or disconnect the batteries from the device.
2. Place the device on a flat surface to depress the wall
tamper switch. Refer to Figure 4.1, and Figure 4.2 on page
Page 14.
3. Press and hold the cover tamper switch. Refer to
Figure 4.1, and Figure 4.2, Page 14.
NOTICE!
When the Inertia Detector is defaulted, its LED briefly turns off
and on, and then the detector enters Test Mode. Refer to
Section 5.7.2 Test Mode, page 33 for more information.
To default a key fob, delete the user from the control panel, and
then re-enter the user without the key fob. Refer to the control
panel documentation for instructions.

5.2 wLSN Diversity Hub
(ISW-BHB2-WX)
The wLSN Diversity Hub acts as the link between wLSN devices
and the control panel. As the wireless network master, the
wLSN Diversity Hub provides network timing and
synchronization, monitors wLSN devices and network status,
and sends configuration data to the wLSN devices as required.
Multiple antennas inside the wLSN Diversity Hub provide
spatial diversity for improved RF signal quality in transmit and
receive modes.
An LED on the front provides device status.
