The Conventional Interface Card (CIC) installation must
conform to applicable local installation codes and
should only be installed by a fully trained competent
person.
The following points require consideration upon installation:
The CIC is only to be fitted to the Zone Interface Module
(ZIM), when connection is required to a Conventional Control
Panel.
The CIC should only be connected to designated zone and
sounder circuits.
Refer to the EMS Wireless Zone Monitor Engineers Guide
(TSD143) for full programming information.

The following points require consideration upon installation:
Do NOT Press the Log On button on a pre-programmed
device, as this will cause communication with the Control
Panel to be lost. Should this happen, delete the device from
the system and add it back on.

Ensure the ZIM is not installed
within 2m of the System 5000
Control Panel or any other radio
or electrical equipment.
Ensure the ZIMs aerials are not
installed within 0.6m of any metal
work.
To ensure the optimum

Frequently Asked Questions
When using these Frequently Asked Questions, the following symbols are shown for
the internal controls on the Wireless Zone Monitor.
BACK
= Turn & Press Rotary Button to select relevant menu option.
= Press the Back Button to exit the menu.
Q; How do I remove a device from the system?
A; To remove a device on the WZM, select:
Front display Remove Device Select required device Remove Device
xxxxx Y? 01 Removed Optic
To Exit
BACK
Q; How do I replace a device on the system?
A; To replace a device on the system, the device must rstly be removed from the
WZM (see above). Then the new device must be added to the system. (See previous
Step 3 Log On Devices)
Q; I’m struggling to get detectors to go into re upon routine test.
A; Detectors can be entered into fast test mode. Fast test hightens the detectors
sensitivities, allowing the detectors to be triggered into an alarm condition quicker
than normal. The led on the device will ash to indicate it is in this fast test mode. A
time period of between 1 and 30 minutes is selectable which decrements and is then
re-generated on a re alarm event. The devices automatically come out of fast test
mode when the timer expires or the fast test mode is exited. To place the detectors
in to Fast Test Mode, select:
Front Display Interface Status Fast Test Start Fast Test Select Time
To Exit
BACK
Q; Why can I not change my radio channels?
A; Radio Channels can only be changed whilst no devices are added to the system.
Q; My system is showing a device fault/alarm. How do I nd out what type of
fault/alarm it is?
A; To view devices currently in fault or alarm, select:
Front display Device Status Select required device*Fault Status or
Alarm Status
To Exit
* An exclamation mark (!) will be shown whilst a device is in fault.
A re symbol ( ) will be shown whilst a device in in alarm.

Rectication Process
Check device is inserted correctly into its base.
Check all batteries are inserted correctly. Check voltage
on batteries. Replace batteries if necessary or re-insert
correctly.
Check devices is in its correct location.
Check that the device is powered (see step 3).
Test the device locally at the WZM.
Check the devices signal level (see step 6).
Check the 20k end of line resistor is in place and that
connections are secure.
Check for sounder audio. Also check the Audio Detect
Switch on the wireless module. See device installation
instructions for more information.
Check head in situ and check connectivity of head to
base. The head missing fault will clear upon successful
re-location.
Check the head is tted correctly. If the problem is not
related to the Detector Head connection it is
recommended that the Detector Head is replaced.
It is recommended that the Detector Head is replaced.
Check device is in a clean environment and is free from
smoke, dust and dirt.
Ensure that the environment of the devices location is
free of smoke residue and dust.
Check the devices glass is in tact.
