2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 LOCATION
Mount the Wireless Bus Module on a wall allowing at least 5cm (2ft) around the
module to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation. Select a site that is not
susceptible to drastic temperature changes. Avoid installation near or in the path of
strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects, circuit
breaker boxes, air conditioners, and heater ducts since they may cause interference
and reduce its sensitivity. We recommend installing it in a centralized location on the
main floor. Avoid installing it in the basement. Refer to the Digiplex Control Panel's
Reference & Installation Manual for maximum allowable distances between the
control panel and the Wireless Bus Module.
2.2 CONNECTIONSAND MOUNTING
Firmly screw the two antennas into the connectors marked ANT on the Receiver
Module (see Figure 2.1). Using a drill or screwdriver, punch out the four mounting
holes on the back of the plastic case. Align the six holes of the printed circuit board
with the six pins on the back plastic mounting case and snap into place. If placed
correctly, the antennas will lean directly over the grooves in the mounting case.
Do not cut, bend, or alter the antennas. Avoid mounting the Receiver
Module near or on metal as this may affect its sensitivity.
The Wireless Bus Module is connected to the control panel's bus in a star and/or
daisy chain configuration. The bus is a 4-wire communication bus that provides
power and two-way communication between the control panel and all the modules
connected to it. Connect the GRN and YELterminals from the Receiver Module to the
corresponding GRN and YELterminals of the control panel. Connect the REDterminal
to the AUX+ of the control panel. Connect the BLKterminal to the AUX- of the control
panel.
Remove AC power and then remove the battery from the control panel
before adding a bus module to the system or it may cause communication
trouble.

3.5 PGM DEACTIVATIONMODE
SECTION[002]: OPTION[1] AND[5]
The Wireless Bus Module has one or two on-board PGMs. Each PGM can be in
Follow Mode or in Timed Mode. If the PGM is in Follow Mode, it will deactivate
according to its PGM Deactivation Event. If the PGM is in Timed Mode, it will
deactivate according to its PGM Timer. However, if PGM Override is enabled,
Follow Mode and Timed Mode will be ignored.
From Step 6 in Figure 3.1, page6, enable or disable the options:
Option [1] OFF = PGM 1 in Follow Mode
Option [1] ON = PGM 1 in Timed Mode (default)
Option [5] OFF = PGM 2 in Follow Mode
Option [5] ON = PGM 2 in Timed Mode (default)
Ensure that both the PGM Activation Event and PGM Deactivation Event
are programmed for each PGM for Follow Mode to function properly.
3.6 PGM BASE TIME
SECTION[002]: OPTION[2] AND[6]
These options define the Base Time of the PGM Timers when the PGM is in Timed
Mode.

period the PGM(s) will remain activated unless the PGM Override is enabled.
(Default 005)
From Step 5 in Figure 3.1, page6:
3.8 PGM ACTIVATIONEVENT
SECTIONS[005] AND[007]
The PGM Activation Events determine which events will activate the Wireless Bus
Module's one or two on-board PGMs. If other PGM(s) on other modules or the
control panel are programmed with the same PGM Activation Event as the Receiver
Module, those PGM(s) will also be activated when the event occurs. For details on
the available activation events, refer to the PGM Programming Table in the Digiplex
Programming Guide.
Both the PGM Activation Event and PGM Deactivation Event must be
programmed for the PGM(s) in Follow Mode to function properly.

These keys represent the hexadecimal values from A to F:
[STAY] = A [ARM] = C [BYP] = E
[FORCE] = B [DISARM] = D [MEM] = F
For installations using the LED Keypads, the hexadecimal values will
illuminate the following LEDs:
(A) = [STAY] LED (C) = [A1] LED (E) = [BYP] LED
(B) = [FORCE] LED (D) = [A4] LED (F) = [MEM] LED
3.9 PGM DEACTIVATIONEVENT
SECTIONS[006] AND[008]
When a PGM Activation Event occurs, the Receiver Module's on-board PGM will
deactivate when the events programmed in section [006] (PGM 1) or section [008]
(PGM 2) occurs unless PGM Timed Mode is enabled. The PGM Deactivation Event
is programmed the same way as the PGM Activation Event (see section 3.8).
3.10 PGM OVERRIDE
SECTION[002]: OPTIONS[3] AND[7], [4] AND[8]
When the PGM Override is enabled in options [3] and/or [7], the Receiver Module
will ignore the PGM Mode, PGM Activation Events, PGM Deactivation Events, and
PGM Timers of the corresponding PGM(s). Options [4] and [8] control whether each
PGM is activated or deactivated until the PGM Override is disabled.

1) Assign the detectors and contact switches to the Wireless Bus Module.
2) The detectors and contact switches from the Wireless Bus Module must be
assigned to zones in the Digiplex Control Panel.
3) The zone parameters must be defined in the Digiplex Control Panel.
For more details concerning zones, refer to the Digiplex Control Panel's Reference
& Installation Manual.
Complete the Programming Guide while assigning the detectors and
contact switches. The serial numbers and the inputs that they are assigned
to will be needed when programming the zones in the control panel.
Sections [020], [021], [101] to [116],and [201] to [216] are all interrelated.
For example, when assigning a detector or contact switch to the Receiver Module:
1) The serial number and input number will be assigned in section [101]
2) The number of devices will automatically appear in section [020]
3) Its signal strength can be viewed in section [201]
4.1 ASSIGNINGDETECTORS& CONTACTSWITCHES TORECEIVER
In these sections you will assign the detectors and contact switches to the Wireless
Bus Module. Up to 16 detectors or contact switches can be assigned to each
Receiver Module.
SECTIONS[101] TO[116]
Enter the serial numbers of the detectors and contact switches in the sections [101]
to [116]. The serial numbers can be found inside the devices. Inputs 001 to 016 are
automatically assigned when the serial number is entered. For example, Section
[101] is assigned to input 001, Section [102] is assigned to input 002, etc. When one
section is programmed, the keypad will automatically switch to the next section.

14 Installer’s Guide
From Step 5 in Figure 3.1, page6:
1) Enter the desired section from [101] to [116]
2) Enter the serial number of the detector or contact switch
If you are unable to find the serial number, refer to section 3.12 of this
manual.
SECTIONS[020] AND[021]
The number of devices assigned to sections [101] to [108] can be viewed in section
[020]. The number of devices assigned to sections [109] to [116] can be viewed in
section [021].
In section [021] devices assigned to sections [109] to [116] appear as 1
through 8. For example, the device assigned to section [109] would appear
as 1 in section [021].

Once the detectors and the contact switches have been assigned to the Wireless
Bus Module, they must be assigned to zones in the control panel. For instructions on
how to assign the devices to the zones and then program the zones, refer to the
Digiplex Control Panel's Reference & Installation Manual.
Zones assigned to detectors or contact switches cannot be programmed
as Fire Zones.
4.3 VIEWINGSIGNALSTRENGTHOFDETECTORS& CONTACTSWITCHES
SECTIONS[201] TO[216]
Once the detectors and/or contact switches have been installed and assigned to the
Wireless Bus Module, the average signal strength of each device can be verified in
these sections by briefly holding the tamper switch or opening the zone. Each
section represents the signal strength viewer for a specific device. For example,

Digiplex Liberator 15
section [201] is the viewer for the device in section [101] and section [216] is the
viewer for the device in section [116].
From Step 5 in Figure 3.1, page6, enter a section from [201] to [216] to view the
average strength of each device.
For installations using the LCD Keypads:
The signal strength is represented by one to ten characters that will appear on the
LCD screen below the words “Module Data”. The reading (number of characters) will
appear beside the characters.Three characters or less is a very weak signal and the
device should be moved. An average reading above four characters is acceptable.
For installation using the LED Keypads:
The signal strength is represented by the illumination of the numerical LEDs from
LED 1 to LED 10. A reading from LED 1 to LED 3 is a very weak signal and the
device should be moved. An average reading above LED 4 is acceptable.

5.0 REMOTE CONTROLS
To program the remote controls:
1) Remote controls must be assigned to the Wireless Bus Module
2) The remote controls from the Wireless Bus Module must be assigned to User
Access Codes in the Digiplex Control Panel.
3) The buttons on the remote controls must be programmed
Complete the Programming Guide while assigning the remote controls. The
serial numbers will be needed when assigning the remote controls to User
Access Codes. Also, knowing which User Access Code was assigned to
which remote control may affect how the remote's buttons are programmed.
Sections [030],[031],[301] to [316],[401] to [416],and [501] to [516] are all
interrelated.
For example, when assigning a remote control to the Receiver Module:
1) The serial number will be entered in section [301]
2) It will automatically appear in section [030]
3) It is assigned to a User Access Code in section [401]
4) Its buttons are programmed in section [501]
When using the remote controls, users must press the button(s) until the red
LED on the remote control illuminates. This short delay (0.25 sec.) before
sending a signal is to avoid accidental transmissions. After pressing and
holding a button continuously for five seconds, the remote control will no
longer transmit any signals until the button is released and pressed again.
5.1 ASSIGNINGREMOTECONTROLSTOTHERECEIVERMODULE

5.3 PROGRAMMINGREMOTECONTROLBUTTONS
SECTIONS[501] TO[516]
For each remote control, each button or a combination of the buttons pressed
simultaneously can be programmed to send a signal to the control panel to perform
certain actions as if users had gone to a keypad and entered their User Access
Codes. When a user arms or disarms using the remote, the control panel will arm or
disarm all the areas assigned to the User Access Code. For example, you arm with
a remote control whose User Access Code is assigned to areas 1 and 3, the control
panel will attempt to arm areas 1 and 3.
Each section from [501] to [516] represents the remote control assigned to the
sections [301] to [316] (see section 5.1 of this manual). For example, the buttons for
the remote control assigned in section [301] will be programmed in section [501].
