Sirius Wireless Link Figure 1. Sirius Wireless Link The Sirius Wireless Link: • Interfaces with the Sirius MultiGas Detector via the instrument’s infrared port • Is equipped with a Bluetooth device that allows for connectivity to the SAFECONNECT Belt Bridge • Is combined with the Sirius MultiGas Detector by installing both devices in the extended Sirius Wireless rubber boot. Figure 2. Sirius Unit with Wireless Link in One Boot • Links to the SAFECONNECT Belt Bridge by momentarily pressing the Link button • • Pressing the Link button for three seconds resets the Bluetooth link. Uses a CR2477 1000 mAH replaceable coin cell battery Figure 3. Sirius Wireless Link Opened for Battery Replacement • Battery life under typical operation is 18 months. NOTE: Typical operation would consist of 10 operation hours per day, five days per week. The SAFECONNECT Belt Bridge Figure 4. The SAFECONNECT Belt Bridge The SAFECONNECT Belt Bridge: • Is equipped with a Bluetooth device that accepts a connection request from a Sirius Wireless link device • Has a radio transceiver that responds to poll requests from the SAFECOMTM Command Center of the SAFESITE Multi-Threat Detection System • Is equipped with a GPS global positioning device NOTE: The device does not usually detect a signal position indoors, unless located near a window. • Is designed to be belt-mounted or carried over the shoulder via the included case and strap • Is equipped with an ON/OFF button • When the unit is OFF, press the ON/OFF button for approximately one second until the LEDs turn ON. • When the unit is ON, press the ON/OFF button for approximately five seconds until the LEDs turn OFF. • Is equipped with three multi-color LEDs (TABLES 1 through 3) • Must be configured with the corresponding network ID and frequency key to match the SAFESITE System with which it is intended to operate • Must be set to a unique address for each device using the hex rotary switch located behind the batteries. The unit address is a function of the switch setting (TABLE 4). Understanding the Display Table 1.

Radio Information FCC ID: P9R-10071439. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. FCC Notification • This radio complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. • Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference. 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. • The radio has a maximum transmitted output power of 955 mW. • The device has been tested and meets the FCC SAR requirements. Unpacking the Units 1. Carefully remove components from packing to avoid damaging sensitive electronic components 2. Search through packing material and inside all containers to prevent discarding usable or valuable parts. Getting Started 1. Install the Sirius MultiGas Instrument in the extended rubber boot. 2. Install the Sirius Wireless Link in the provided area at the top of the instrument. 3. Verify that the SAFECONNECT belt Bridge has a unique device address to avoid communications conflicts. By factory default, units are preset in descending order (i.e. 16, 15, 14, 13, etc.) to avoid conflicts with existing systems. 4. Turn ON the Sirius Instrument using the ON/OFF/ACCEPT button on the unit. • Wait for the instrument to cycle through the power ON sequence and diagnostic procedures. 5. Turn ON the SAFECONNECT Wireless Belt Bridge by pressing the ON/OFF button for approximately one second, until all three LEDs are green. 6. Observe the power-ON LED sequence; all LEDs are green, then orange, and then red. 7. Verify that the power LED is green. • The Comm LED turns orange when a link is established to the SAFESITE Multi-Threat detection system. • The Wireless Link and SAFECONNECT Wireless Belt Bridge must be located within six feet of one another. 8. Press the link button on the Sirius Wireless Link Device. • The Comm LED on the SAFECONNECT Belt bridge turns green when the link is established. • Observe that the Sirius Wireless Link is polling the instrument: • Sirius Version 1.0 Firmware: Red LEDs flash alternately • Sirius Version 1.2 Firmware and above: Heartbeat segment flashes rapidly during poll (FIGURE 8). • Sirius instrument firmware version is displayed on power-up sequence. Figure 8. Heartbeat Segment Poll Indicator • The GPS LED changes from red, to orange, to green as a location lock is established and the number of satellites detected increases; this typically occurs: • three minutes from initial operation after replacing batteries • 30 seconds from subsequent starts. • The system is now operational. NOTE: Refer to the Sirius MultiGas Detector and the SAFESITE Multi-Threat Detection System manuals (P/Ns 10048887 & 10057028, respectively) for additional information. Table 6.
