Hardwired RF Receivers

Wireless Transmitters
Silversphere WARB hardwired RF receivers
work in conjunction with Silversphere “-W”
and “-R” series of hardwired emergency call
stations. WARBs act as a local receiver specic
to a zone – one resident apartment – and allow
for wireless emergency calls from anywhere
within a resident’s apartment using any of
Silversphere’s RF transmitter devices.
The “-W” station has an 8-pin modular jack
on its face to which the WARB hardwired RF
receiver connects. This receiver mounts in the
apartment somewhere out of the resident’s
view. Stations designated with “-W” are made
in a variety of congurations in 1- and 3-gang
sizes. The WARB is compatible with them all.
An alternative is the WARB-SM, which
combines the WARB receiver with a surface
mount 3-gang box. The WARB-SM may only
be used with a 3-gang “-R” hardwired pull
station, which mounts inside of the box. Use
this receiver when there is no convenient place
to mount a standard WARB.

Section 1: Programming New Devices to a WARB
WARB-SM
(programming button)
(CAPA-WB-SM) —
supplies power and
connection to 3-gang
pull station.
1) Press and hold the recessed programming
button located on the back of the WARB
while the device is plugged in. (If you’re
using a WARB-SM, the programming
button is located inside the 3-gang box
behind a 3-gang pull station.)
2) While still holding down the programming
button, trigger the Silversphere wireless
transmitter you want to program. WARBs
are compatible with all Silversphere
wireless transmitters, including WATC
pendants, WRCA emergency check-in
stations and WUTA universal transmitters.
3) Listen for the conrmation tone at the pull
station to which the WARB is connected.
This will also create an emergency call
event on your desk console.
4) Release the programming button.
5) Reset the alarm at the pull station to
which the WARB is connected. For more
information about resetting alarms,
see Section 3: Placing and Resetting
Emergency Calls in this WARB manual.

Section 2: Erasing Devices from a WARB
1) Remove power from the WARB. This is
done by unplugging the connection in the
front of the WARB, unplugging the AC
power supply (WARB-PS), or by removing
the CAPA-x wiring harness from the
WARB-SM—whichever is applicable.
2) Press and hold the recessed programming
button located on the back of the
WARB. (If you’re using a WARB-SM, the
programming button located inside the
3-gang box.)
3) Return power to your WARB.
4) Release the programming button. All
wireless devices codes will now be erased
from the receiver’s memory.
Section 3: Placing and Resetting Emergency Calls
To place an emergency call, simply press the
button on the wireless device programmed
into the WARB hardwired RF receiver. When
an emergency call is placed, a conrmation
LED comes on at the pull station to which the
WARB is connected. A conrmation tone also
sounds at that same station.
To reset an emergency call from a wireless
device programmed into a WARB, pull the
cord on the station to which the WARB is
connected, count to 10, and then push the
switch into the up position.
Section 4: Additional Accessories
WARB-PS power supply
The WARB-PS is used to power the WARB
– and associated circuitry in the apartment
station – when the distributed power circuit is
not available. It is a modied AC adapter that
plugs into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet. This
accessory cannot be used with the WARB-SM.
CCDA dummy plug
The CCDA is a dummy plug required to
maintain DC supervision of the signal circuit
if a WARB is removed. Without a dummy
plug, the console will display a circuit trouble.
The CCDA can be only be used with a “-W”
hardwired pull station.
