Typical System Layout
Install the Alarm Controller mounting plate at an accessible point on the
wall 1.4m +/- 0.2m from floor level. Consider an alternative location if
the controller will be operated by a disabled person.
Also consider security and chose a location where it will not be accidently
or otherwise operated.
Turn on the system by sliding the switch to the on position & check the
power up sequence.
A video of the Alarm Controller installation, house coding & operation is
available on our website - see ‘Contact Us’ section.

3. House Coding
It is essential to House Code the Alarm Controller to all the other
RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system to ensure they will not
communicate with nearby systems. Failure to house code the system
may also result in a system malfunction.
Press and hold the House Code button (H CODE) on the back of the
controller until all segments light up blue, then release. The segments
will flash rapidly for a moment on entering house code.
House code all other RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system.
Consult the instruction manuals on how to house code the Alarms and
devices. It is essential that each individual Alarm / device is put into
house code mode in it’s actual location.

Return to the Alarm Controller and check that all segments are
flashing blue. The number of flashes should equal the number of
RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system. A system with 3 x Smoke
Alarms, 1 x CO Alarm and 1 x Alarm Controller will result in 5 blue
flashes. It may take up to 10 minutes before all 5 flashes are seen.
The flash pattern will repeat every 5 to 10 seconds while the Alarm
Controller remains in house code.
If it fails to flash the correct number of times, then consult the
‘Troubleshooting the RadioLINK’ section of this instruction manual.
Now, walk around the house to verify that all the other RadioLINK
Alarms and devices are giving the correct amount of flashes.
If any of these fail to flash the correct number of times, then consult
the ‘Troubleshooting the RadioLINK’ section of this instruction
manual.

Fire / CO Alarm Controller

To complete the commissioning, the system must exit house code
mode.
The units will automatically exit house code after 30 minutes. Once
coded the system will not communicate with any other RadioLINK
Alarms and devices outside the house coded group.
To manually exit house code press the house code (H CODE) button on the
back of the Alarm Controller. When all the segments light up blue, release
the button. This unit will then send an exit house code signal to all the
other RadioLINK Alarms and devices to exit house code.
After a short period the blue light will turn off and the system will return
to standby mode (normal). Depending on the number of RadioLINK
Alarms and devices in the system this period could vary from 5 to 20
seconds.
If you choose to make the Alarm Controller tamper proof remove the
pip (plastic post) using a pliers or similar tool.
Do not do this until the house coding procedure has been completed!
