Introduction
DSC Security Products has made a multimillion dollar investment into the wireless security
market. The Marquis System will be the first of many products to revolutionize the wireless
security industry.
A
short list of advantages:
• Twelve minute supervisory times versus fifty to sixty minutes
• Six hour supervisory window versus twelve or twenty-four hour
• Standard batteries versus specialized batteries
• High power transmitters versus low power transmitters for better range and propagation
• 3.2" versus 9" ¼ wavelength signal for better propagation
Our new Marquis Supervised Wireless Security System is the culmination of four years of
engineering effort. It is the first Spread Spectrum system to combine true supervision and a
very high level of security into a wireless system.
The Marquis Controller is unique. While it houses the highly sensitive RF receiver and
communicator, it can be mounted almost anywhere, possibly in the bedroom by the bedside
table. Or the Controller can be mounted in a more traditional location near the telephone line
interface. One of the Controller’s unique features is its three built-in communication jacks
which will reduce your installation time.
We felt that in order for wireless to be secure, the Controller had to be separated from the
Keypad. The Marquis Keypad is a full-featured two-way 900MHz wireless device which is used
to program and operate the system from anywhere in or around the premises.
The industry said that it wanted a truly reliable wireless Sounder. The Marquis System’s
wireless Sounder is a 900Mhz transceiver. The Controller and the Sounders are continually
communicating back and forth, confirming everything each step of the way.
Instead of dual spacial diversity, where the receiver has two antennas in the same location,
DSC chose to incorporate true diversity. Each device in the system now has two paths it takes
to the Controller: each transmitter sends directly to the Controller, and to the supervised
Sounder which relays the signal to the Controller, thus providing a true second pathway.
In addition DSC has also been working on other wireless products, such as the LINKSTM series
of Long Range Radio and Cellular Communicators. To date, thousands of LINKSTM products
are installed and in use all over North America. DSC’s commitment to wireless products is
total. DSC has a group of RF engineering specialists, which is something many of our
competitors only wish they could do.
We are confident that your first experience with the Marquis Security System will be positive.

Chapter Four: Module Placement and Testing explains how to:
• Locate and test system components
• How to enter the Placement Test Mode
Do not permanently mount any of the components until they have been tested!
4 A: Locating the Controller and Sounders
The components of the WLS900 System may be located almost anywhere on the premises.
Only the following guidelines need to be observed:
• Locate the Controller in as central a location as possible
• Locate the Controller in as elevated a location as possible
• If locating the Controller in a basement, mount the Controller as high and as close to
underside of the first floor as possible
• Avoid locations that are subject to extreme temperature variations. Avoid locations that may
be subject to excessive cold (such as an unheated garage), or excessive heat (such as an
attic). Refer to 1 B: Components, for the operating temperature range of each component.
Generally, the WLS900 components are designed to operate within the temperature range
of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
The First Sounder is used to help ensure that the system’s radio transmissions reach the
Controller. The First Sounder should be located within 30 feet (approximately 9 meters) of
the Controller, but no closer than 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters) to the Controller. A
Second Sounder, if installed, may be located almost anywhere desired.
Chapter 4: Module Placement and Testing
4 B: Locating System Components
Determine the location of the Controller and the First Sounder following the
guidelines noted in 4 A: Locating the Controller and Sounders.
Mount the Controller in the intended location.
Place the system components as near to their intended locations as
possible, but do not permanently install them yet.

15
4 C: Entering the Placement Test Mode
Test the placement of the First Sounder before testing other components!
Carry the Keypad to the location of the component to be tested. The location
of the Keypad will not affect the test, as the Placement Test Mode tests the
component’s ability to communicate with the Controller and Sounder, not the
Keypad.

The First Sounder must be located where the test indicates “Location Good”.
After moving a component, repeat the test. If “Good” or “Fair” locations are indicated, repeat the Placement Test
at least once to confirm the location. When test results are satisfactory, scroll to the next component and perform
the Placement Test. When satisfactory test results have been received for all components, permanently mount the
components. Refer to “Mounting the Components” in Chapter 7 for mounting instructions.
After completing a Module Placement Test, you must arm and disarm the system. Be sure
to allow the exit delay to expire before disarming the system. If you do not arm and disarm
the system, zones may show as open the next time a supervisory transmission is sent
(every 12 minutes).
4 D: A Note About WLS904 Wireless Motion Detectors:
High Traffic Shutdown Mode
To prolong battery life, the motion detector uses a feature called High Traffic Shutdown. When motion is detected,
the device will transmit to the receiver and will then shut down for six minutes. If motion is detected again during
the first six minute shutdown time, the unit will reset the shutdown timer to three minutes. Each time the detector is
tripped during the shutdown time, the timer will be reset to three minutes again. The detector will thus remain in
the shut down mode until it does not detect motion for an entire six minute period.
The High Traffic Shutdown Mode affects testing the motion detector in two ways:
• When performing the module placement testmodule placement test
module placement testmodule placement test
module placement test, the unit must be tampered by removing the unit from the
backplate and replacing it. The placement test cannot be performed by creating motion in front of the device.
• When performing a system testsystem test
system testsystem test
system test, the unit must be left idle for six minutes before testing can be performed.
Once six minutes has passed, create motion in front of the detector to see if the device is both detecting
motion and transmitting to the receiver.
Motion Detector Transmission Delay
A motion detector transmission is always delayed by six seconds. This is necessary to prevent false alarms
caused by a motion sensor transmitting before a delay zone has a chance to report. This six-second delay cannot
be altered or disabled.
Walk Test Mode
The motion detector has a walk test mode which will activate an LED for testing purposes. To put the unit in the
walk test mode, create a tamper by removing the unit from the backplate and replacing it. For the next 90
seconds, the detector’s LED will turn on for three seconds every time motion is detected. During normal operation,
this LED will not turn on.
NOTE:The WalkTest Mode will override the HighTraffic Shutdown Mode.
