2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 LOCATION
Mount the Liberator Wireless Bus Module on a wall allowing at least 5 cm (2")
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 Liberator Wireless Bus Module.
2.2 CONNECTIONSAND MOUNTING
Firmly screw the two antennae 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 antennae will lean directly over the grooves in the mounting case.
Do not cut, bend, or alter the antennae. Avoid mounting the Receiver
Module near or on metal as this may affect its sensitivity.
The Liberator Wireless Bus Module is connected to the control panel's DIGI-BUS in
a star and/or daisy chain configuration. The DIGI-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 “YEL” terminals from the
Receiver Module to the corresponding “GRN” and “YEL” terminals of the control
panel. Connect the “RED” terminal to the “AUX+” of the control panel. Connect the
“BLK” terminal to the “AUX-” of the control panel.
Remove AC power and then remove the battery before adding a bus
module to the system or it may cause communication trouble.

3.1.1 Feature Select Programming
Feature Select Programming is accomplished by enabling and/or disabling
options. Feature Select Programming is used to program sections [001] and [002]
and is also used in PGM Programming. Within the sections, numbers from 1 to 8
represent a specific option to enable or disable. Press the key corresponding to
the desired option and the digit should appear on the LCD screen or illuminate the
corresponding LED on the LED Keypad. This means that the option is enabled or
ON. For example, in Step 6 of Figure 3-1, options [1] and [4] are enabled and
show on the LCD screen. The 1 and 4 LEDs would illuminate on the LED Keypad.
Press the key again to remove or extiguish the digit, thereby disabling (turning
OFF) the option.
3.2 LOWBATTERYSUPERVISION
SECTION[001]: OPTION[1]
The wireless detectors and contact switches function on two 3.6V Lithium batteries.
When a detector or contact switch detects a battery voltage of 6.5V or less, its
yellow light (LED) will flash and it will transmit a signal to the Liberator Wireless Bus
Module indicating that the voltage is low. If this option is enabled, the Receiver
Module will transmit a signal to the control panel, which it will recognize as a Zone
Low Battery. If this option is disabled, the Receiver Module will not transmit the low
voltage signal to the control panel.
From Step 6 in Figure 3-1, page8, enable or disable the option:
Option [1] OFF = Low Battery Supervision disabled
Option [1] ON = Low Battery Supervision enabled (default)

3.3 CHECK-INSUPERVISION
SECTION[001]: OPTIONS[2] AND[3]
The Liberator Wireless Bus Module waits for each of its assigned detectors and/or
contact switches to send a status signal within a specified time period to confirm
their presence and functionality. If a device has not sent a signal within the time
period, the Receiver Module will automatically transmit a signal to the control panel,
which it can recognize a supervision loss. Option [2] enables the Check-in
Supervision feature and option [3] specifies the time period required for the devices
to send their signal.
From Step 6 in Figure 3-1, page8, enable or disable the options:
Option [2] OFF = Check-in Supervision disabled
Option [2] ON = Check-in Supervision enabled (default)
Option [3] OFF = Check-in every 12 hours (default)

SECTION[002]: OPTION[1] AND[5]
The Liberator 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, page8, 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 inTimed Mode.
From Step 6 in Figure 3-1, page8, enable or disable the options:
Option [2] OFF = PGM 1 Base Time is 1 second (default)
Option [2] ON = PGM 1 Base Time is 1 minute

3.7 PGM TIMERS
SECTIONS[003] AND[004]
When PGM(s) are in Timed Mode, the value programmed for PGM 1 in section [003]
and for PGM 2 in section [004] are multiplied by the PGM Base Time. This value can
be any decimal from 001 to 255. This defines the time period the PGM(s) will remain
activated unless the PGM Override is enabled. (Default 005)
From Step 5 in Figure 3-1, page8:
3.8 PGM ACTIVATIONEVENT
SECTIONS[005] AND[007]
The PGM Activation Events determine which events will activate the Liberator
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
(see section 7.0 of this manual).
Both the PGM Activation Event and PGM Deactivation Event must be
programmed for the PGM(s) in Follow Mode to function properly.

Use the PGM Programming Table to program a PGM Activation Event by following
these steps:
1) In the selected section, enter the first digit where each digit is a hexadecimal
value from 8 to F that represents a specific event (0 = PGM Disabled).
2) Then enter the second digit, which can be any hexadecimal value from 0 to F
depending on the first digit chosen.
3) After entering the second digit, use Feature Select Programming to enable/
disable options [1] to [8]. Select up to eight specific events as detailed in the
PGM Programming Table.
These keys represent the hexadecimal values from A to F:
[STAY] = A [DISARM] = D
[FORCE] = B [BYP] = E
[ARM] = C [MEM] = F
For installations using the LED Keypads, the hexadecimal values will
illuminate the following LEDs:
(A) = [STAY] LED (D) = [A4] LED
(B) = [FORCE] LED (E) = [BYP] LED
(C) = [A1] LED (F) = [MEM] LED
3.9 PGM DEACTIVATIONEVENT
SECTIONS[006] AND[008]
When PGM Activation Events occur, the Liberator Wireless Bus Module's on-board
PGM(s) will deactivate when the events programmed in section [006] for PGM 1 or

4.0 DETECTORS AND CONTACT SWITCHES
Programming for the wireless detectors and the contact switches is accomplished in
three steps:
1) Detectors and contact switches must be assigned to the Liberator Wireless Bus
Module.
2) The detectors and contact switches from the Liberator 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 (see section 6.0 of this manual) 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]

4.2 ASSIGNINGDETECTORS& CONTACTSWITCHES TOZONES
Once the detectors and the contact switches have been assigned to the Liberator
Wireless Bus Module, they must be assigned to zones in the control panel. For
instructions 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
Liberator Wireless Bus Module, the average signal strength of each device can be
verified in these sections. Each section represents the signal strength viewer for a
specific device. For example, 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, page8, 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 "Signal Strgh". 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 Liberator Wireless Bus Module
2) The remote controls from the Liberator 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 (see section 6.0 of this manual) 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.
