WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in

contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item

in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.

There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other

types of emergencies where it may not provide protection.Any alarm

system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to

operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these

reasons may be:

■■

■

Inadequate Installation

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide

adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a se-

curity professional to ensure that all access points and areas are cov-

ered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and

operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other build-

ing materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to pro-

vide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done

during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire

and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is

available.

■■

■

Criminal Knowledge

This system contains security features which were known to be ef-

fective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with

criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effective-

ness of these features. It is important that a security system be re-

viewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and

that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide

the protection expected.

■■

■

Access by Intruders

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent

a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuf-

ficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or

prevent the proper operation of the system.

■■

■

Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other

security devices require an adequate power supply for proper opera-

tion. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries

to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in

good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by

AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device

inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any

length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may dam-

age electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power

interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system

test to ensure that the system operates as intended.

■■

■

Failure of Replaceable Batteries

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide

several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected

battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type.

Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures,

or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life.

While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which iden-

tifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to

operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the

system in good operating condition.

■■

■

Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could

include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate

jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

■■

■

System Users

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possi-

bly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to

reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It

is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of

the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system

indicates an alarm.

■■

■

Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert

occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow.

The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or posi-

tioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such

as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side

of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires

on another level of the residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the

rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires

equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of

fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in

bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flam-

mable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing

with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circum-

stances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to

escape in time to avoid injury or death.

■■

■

Motion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas

as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot dis-

criminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detec-

tors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple

beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed

areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which oc-

curs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass

doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or un-

intentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on

the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system

will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tem-

perature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambi-

ent temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are

intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection

area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves,

barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

■■

■

Warning Devices

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn

people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or

door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the resi-

dence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted

or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by

other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air condition-

ers or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices,

however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

■■

■

Telephone Lines

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of

service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut

the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means

which may be difficult to detect.

■■

■

Insufficient Time

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended,

yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to

their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the

system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the

occupants or their belongings.

■■

■

Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable

as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the

failure of a component.

■■

■

Inadequate Testing

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as

intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The com-

plete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-

in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident,

or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.

The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm

indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of

the system.

■■

■

Security and Insurance

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for

property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for

property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to pre-

vent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Testing & Mounting Devices

firealarmresources.com

For PC4020 v3.2 system, the system keypad will also display the number of RF4164-

433 receivers that reported the highest level result (e.g., “Placement Good by 2

Receivers”).

Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You may

only have to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.

NOTE: Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.

If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move the

RF4164-433 receiver to a better location (see section 2.3 for tips on finding a

location for the RF4164-433).

To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 to 7. Continue to test the devices

until both the RF4164-433 receiver and the devices are in good or fair locations.

9. To exit Installer Programming, press [#].

4.2 Test Wireless Key Reception

The wireless key (WLS909-433/WLS919-433) cannot be tested using the module

placement test described above. To ensure that the RF4164-433 is receiving

transmissions from these devices, conduct the following tests:

Use the function keys to arm and disarm the system at several different points in

the installation.

NOTE: Do not use a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic key to test your WLS9X9-433, as pressing these

buttons will always notify your central station of a nonmedical emergency.

If these devices do not operate from all points in the installation, you will need to move the

RF4164-433 receiver. Moving the RF4164-433 higher will usually improve the reception.

If you move the RF4164-433 receiver, repeat the tests described in sections 4.1 and

4.2 on all the wireless devices. Continue to test the devices until you have found

locations with good or fair placement results for all wireless detectors, and there is

acceptable range between the RF4164-433 and the WLS9X9 devices.

4.3 Mount the RF4164-433 Receiver and Wireless Devices

Do not permanently mount the RF4164-433 until you have tested reception with all

the wireless devices (see sections 4.1 and 4.2). Once you have done this and have a

good location, mount the RF4164-433:

1. Remove the four screws that attach the RF4164-433 module to the plastic cabinet.

2. Pull the Combus wires through the hole at the back of the cabinet.

3. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall.

Reattach the RF4164-433 module to the mounted cabinet using the 4 mounting screws.

Mount the Wireless Detectors

If you have conducted the placement test described in section 4.1 and got 3 “Good”

or “Fair” results in a row for each device, you can mount the wireless devices. See the

installation sheet for each device for mounting instructions.

6.1 Device Fail Time

When supervision of a wireless detector is turned ON, the panel will show a trouble if a

wireless zone stops working or is removed from the system. When supervision is turned

OFF, the panel will not show a trouble.

NOTE: Wireless keys are NOT supervised.

zone supervisory

is a test transmission that each wireless zone sends to the RF4164-433

receiver. When the RF4164-433 module receives the supervisory transmission from the zone,

the RF4164-433 module will transmit this information to the control panel.

If the control panel does not get a supervisory transmission from a zone within the

Device Fail time, the zone will be considered “missing”, causing a Device Fault.

The next supervisory transmission that the RF4164-433 receives from the “missing”

zone will restore communication with that zone and restore the Zone Supervisory Fault.

The Device Fail timer will also be reset.

Change the Supervision Option

1. At an LCD keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer’s Code].

2. Enter Ref #[001306] to go to the Supv Window section.

Additional Programming Notes

firealarmresources.com

The following trouble conditions apply to the RF4164-433 receiver. For a description

of all troubles, please see

Section 16 “Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

” in the PC4020

Installation Manual.

• RF4164-433 Tamper • Smoke Low Sense

• RF Jam Detected (see below) • Device Low Batt

• Device Fault (see section 6.1)

Wireless Device Low Battery Trouble Transmission Delay

When a device reports a low battery trouble, the keypad will indicate the trouble

immediately, but the panel will delay transmission of the trouble to the monitoring

station. You can program the length of the delay (in days) in Installer’s Programming.

If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the

low battery trouble will be transmitted.

The low battery alarm and restoral codes will only be reported once per armed period.

The low battery restore transmission is not delayed. The default transmission delay is 7

days.

To change the transmission delay:

1. At an LCD keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer’s code].

2. Enter Ref #[00040211] to go to the 4164 Low Bat Dly section.

3. Enter the new transmission delay (from 000 to 255 days).

4. To exit, press [#].

Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices

1. Remove the cover of the device from its backplate. This creates a tamper condition

on the zone.

2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of each

component. Ensure the proper orientation of the batteries as you install them.

3. When the fresh batteries are in place, reattach the cover to the backplate. The tamper

is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble restoral signal to the RF4164-433

receiver. The battery trouble is now clear.

NOTE: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all devices should be

replaced at the same time.

Enable RF Jam Detect Trouble

The RF Jam Detect trouble condition will be generated and logged when the

RF4164-433 module detects an attempt to block RF signals. This tells the user that

the RF4164-433 module is not receiving wireless device transmissions. The panel

will transmit the General System Trouble reporting code.

To enable warning of this trouble condition (The default setting for this option is OFF):

1. At an LCD keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer’s Code].

2. Enter Ref #[000200] to go to the System Toggles section.

3. Scroll to RF Jam Detect.

4. Press [✱] to toggle the option ON or OFF.

5. To exit System Toggles, press [#}.

NOTE: Devices must be placement tested as ‘Good’ or ‘Fair’ for RF Jam Detection to work

properly.

Troubleshooting

S E C T I O N 7

1. When I enter [0013] RF4164-433 options, the keypad gives me a

long beep.

You cannot enter ESNs unless the RF4164-433 wireless receiver is enrolled. See section

2 for instructions on enrolling the RF4164-433 module.

2. I have entered the ESN for the device but when I violate the

device, the zone does not show open on the keypad.

Check the following:

• Check that you are looking at a keypad on the same partition as the device you are testing

• Check that the ESN has been entered correctly

• Check that the zone is assigned to one or more partitions

3. When I try a module placement test I get no result or “Bad” results.

Check the following (see sections 4.1 and 4.2 for more information on testing devices):

• Verify that you are testing the correct zone

• Verify that the correct ESN was entered when the device was enrolled

• Verify that the device is in range of the RF4164-433 receiver. Try testing the

device in the same room as the receiver

• Confirm that the RF4164-433 receiver is properly connected to the Combus (see

section 2 for RF4164-433 receiver setup and wiring instructions)

• Check that you are testing the zone correctly (see sections 4.1 and 4.2 for testing

instructions)

• Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly

• Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reaching

the RF4164-433 receiver

The device must be located where consistent “Good” or “Fair” results are obtained. If

several devices show “Bad” results, or if panic pendants and wireless keys operate

inconsistently, move the receiver. See section 2.3 for tips on choosing a mounting location

for the RF4164-433 receiver.

4. The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in

front of the unit.

The LED is for walk test purposes only. See your WLS904(L)-433

Instruction Sheet

for wa

k test instructions.
