Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notifica-
tion capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such
a system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of an
automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety
communication system that may include an autonomous control
unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication,
and other various interoperable communication methods—can
broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system, however,
does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life
resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors
be located throughout a protected premises following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as
many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to
provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or
protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or
adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of
reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach
the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or
on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not
sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may
not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chim-
neys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the
ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air out-
lets, such as air conditioning vents.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching
the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke
detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels
of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a devel-
oping fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into
alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limita-
tions. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend
to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little
visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers
tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires.
Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable
in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a
given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning
of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially
in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate
or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may
be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-
of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per
year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are
designed to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same
room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the
connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signal-
ing, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire
may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a
fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speak-
ers and displays may not alert people if these devices are located
on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on
another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert peo-
ple with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs,
alcohol, or medication. Please note that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over a
fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility
requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly dis-
seminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a
fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning
of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and bells, can have
different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property
owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training
exercises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and
instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical power. If
AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only
for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly
maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible
with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises
to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily
disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure,
backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is inad-
equate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in excel-
lent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At
a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Envi-
ronments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity require
more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be
arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Mainte-
nance should be scheduled as required by National and/or local fire
codes and should be performed by authorized professional life
safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspec-
tions should be kept.

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of
power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may
be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and
understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be
tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming opera-
tion or change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is
required after any change, addition or deletion of system compo-
nents, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system
hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or
software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100%
tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadver-
tently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly
affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also
be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/
32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondens-
ing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the sys-
tem's standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity.
Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals
be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of
15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate
erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced
transients. Although no system is completely immune from light-
ning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce sus-
ceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended,
due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Con-
sult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are
anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting
circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all
cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications,
verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed
circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tighten-
ing may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact
pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any cir-
cuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed
from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid
damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP
operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

Section 2: WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway
2.1 Description
The WIDP-WGI is a device in a wireless fire system that acts as a bridge between fire alarm control panels (FACPs) and wireless fire
devices. All wireless fire devices communicate with the gateway over the wireless network formed by the devices and the gateway.
The gateway is powered by either the SLC loop or by any external +24VDC UL listed power supply. The gateway uses the IDP protocol
on the SLC to communicate with the panel and a proprietary wireless protocol to communicate with wireless fire devices. The following

Magnet Sensors WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway
2.3.1 Environmental Specifications
2.4 Magnet Sensors
2.4.1 Profile Magnetic Sensor
The profile magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) is used to create a unique profile upon start-up. It can also be used to start profile distri-
bution for a gateway that contains a profile. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on green for ½ a second when the sensor is
activated.
2.4.2 Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor
The mesh formation magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) transitions the gateway in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activa-
tion of the sensor puts the gateway in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation of the magnetic
sensor transitions the gateway out of mesh formation and into the initial mesh restructuring and normal mode. The gateway can be
placed back into mesh formation mode by activating the magnet sensor once again. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on
green for ½ a second when the sensor is activated.
The Mesh formation magnetic sensor can also be used to create a profile on start-up for a gateway that does not already contain a profile.
2.5 LED Indicators
The two LEDs on the gateway blink in the same pattern to allow the LED to be viewed from any angle. LED patterns are explained in
Appendix D.
2.6 Installing the Gateway
2.6.1 Before Installing

2.7.3 Gateway Powered by the SLC
To power the gateway using the signaling line circuit, connect the gateway as described in the table and graphic below:
The gateway provides isolation of short circuits on the SLC in Class A (Style 6) installations. SLC connections are power-limited by the
panel. An interruption in the SLC that causes a loss of power at the gateway for more than 100ms may result in a trouble condition and
loss of fire protection provided by the wireless devices for approximately 15 minutes. Use of an external +24V power source (not SLC
power) is recommended for installations that require fire protection in the presence of short circuits, including Class A applications and
applications that use isolator modules.
2.7.4 Gateway Powered by an External, Regulated +24VDC Source

Configuration and Programming WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway
The gateway provides isolation of short circuits of the SLC in Class A (Style 6) installations. SLC connections are power-limited by the
panel. +24VDC must be power-limited by the source.
2.8 Configuration and Programming
To successfully configure and/or program the gateway:
1. Create a profile. A profile binds a gateway and the devices in a mesh network together. The profile will contain a mesh ID that is
used when forming the associations. All devices, including the gateway, require a common profile.
2. Distribute the profile. Distribute the profile to every device that will be a part of the mesh. This will enable all the devices that have
that profile to form associative links when the mesh is formed.
3. Form the mesh. The mesh cannot be formed until the profile is assigned to the gateway and distributed to its devices.
These steps may be performed with or without using SWIFT Tools.
2.8.1 Configuration and Programming Without Using SWIFT Tools
This section explains the configuration of the gateway using only a magnet and a screw driver. For configuration instructions using
SWIFT Tools, refer to Section 2.8.2.
There are two ways to provide a gateway with a profile without using SWIFT Tools.
Create a new profile using the gateway.
Assign a previously created profile to the gateway using a distributor.
Create a New Profile
To create a unique profile in the gateway without using SWIFT Tools:
1. Start with the gateway powered off. The profile creation process is performed during start-up.
2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.
3. Ensure that the gateway is in the factory default state. If the gateway is in the factory default state, both the LEDs on the gateway
will double blink red every second for ten seconds. If the LEDs are yellow, refer to “Remove a Profile” on page 16.
4. Activate either magnetic sensor with a magnet within ten seconds of starting up the gateway while the double red blink is active on
the gateway. Refer to Section 2.4, “Magnet Sensors” for further information on activating magnetic sensors. The LED next to the
magnetic sensor emits a red light for one second when it is activated. If the ten second window is missed, power down the gateway
and repeat the process starting at step 1.
A profile has been created successfully; the LEDs on the gateway will light green and stay on steady for ten seconds. The profile has
been created containing a mesh ID and a default password. The default password is ‘12345678’ and is needed if the gateway is locked by
the FACP and later accessed by SWIFT Tools.

WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway Configuration and Programming
Assign a Previously Created Profile Using a Distributor
Instead of creating a new profile, an existing profile can be distributed by a device with an existing profile. To distribute the existing pro-
file:
1. Ensure that the gateway or other mesh device with the profile is set for distribution. Refer to Section 2.8.3, “Profile Distribution” or
Section 3.5.2, “Distributor Mode”.
2. Bring the profile distributor within 20 feet of the gateway.
3. 10 seconds after the initial start-up, the LEDs on the gateway switch from a double red blink to a single red blink. The single red
blink indicated the gateway is ready.
4. Use a magnet to activate either of the magnetic sensors. The LED will blink a single red every half-second indicating that it is
searching for a profile.
When the profile is successfully received from the distributor, the LEDs on the gateway will turn on green steady for five seconds.
Remove a Profile
To remove a profile from a gateway:
1. Start with the gateway powered off. The process is performed during start-up.
2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.
3. Verify the gateway is in the profile modification state. The gateway is in the profile modification state when both the LEDs on the
gateway double blink yellow every second for ten seconds.
4. Activate both magnetic sensors on the gateway within ten seconds of start-up while the double yellow blink is active. If the ten
second window is missed, power down the gateway and repeat the process starting at step 1.
The LEDs on the gateway will blink green every second for five seconds indicating that the profile is removed.
Create a Mesh Network
The gateway communicates with all devices in range that have a common profile and establishes communication links with all the
devices. This creates a mesh network. Once a device joins the mesh, that device acts as a repeater for devices out of the range of the gate-
way. All devices must be in their final mounting locations prior to initiating the mesh formation. The mesh formation is initiated by
the gateway upon user activation and terminated by the gateway when all possible devices join the network or when terminated by the
user.
To form a mesh network, ensure that the gateway is powered on and contains a profile. (Refer to Section 2.5 on page 11 for information
on how the gateway indicates its status). Activate the “Mesh Formation” magnet sensor on the gateway. Refer to Figure 2.2 for sensor
location.
The gateway will then transition to the mesh formation mode and establish communication with all the devices containing a common
profile. The blink pattern on the gateway indicates that it is in mesh formation mode. At this stage, both the LEDs on the gateway will
blink twice every 7 seconds.
• The first blink is green and the second blink is red when the gateway is acting as a profile distributor and forming the mesh.
• The first blink is green and the second blink is yellow when the gateway is only forming the mesh.
Mesh formation typically takes one minute for each device in the mesh. Mesh formation automatically terminates 10 minutes after the
last device joins the mesh. Mesh formation can be terminated manually by the user by again activating the mesh formation magnetic sen-
sor.
Once the mesh formation is complete, the network automatically transitions to restructure the mesh. For operating instructions, refer to
Section 2.9, “Operations”.
2.8.2 Configuration and Programming Using SWIFT Tools
Assign a Profile
To assign a profile to the gateway using SWIFT Tools:
1. Connect the W-USB adapter device to your laptop. For more information on the USB adapter, refer to Section 5, “USB Adapter”,

2.9 Operations
2.9.1 Modes of Operation
Start-up Mode
Start-up mode is a temporary mode of operation. During start-up mode a profile can be created or removed. The start-up period lasts for
10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs double blink yellow every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the
LEDs double blink red every second.
During start-up, the gateway does not provide fire protection nor does it respond to the FACP.
After start-up, the gateway proceeds to the factory default mode if no profile exists. In the presence of a profile, the gateway will pro-
ceed to mesh formation mode if it was previously part of a mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh net-
work.

WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway Operations
Factory Default Mode
Factory default mode is the initial mode of the gateway. In this mode, the gateway and peripheral devices do not provide any fire protec-
tion. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detectors or modules in factory default mode. The only wireless communication
in factory default mode is between the gateway and SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must be within 20 feet of the gateway for proper com-
munication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.
The gateway reports a “NO PROFILE” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Factory Default” to the communicator display of
SWIFT Tools.
Transitions back to Factory Default mode are not shown in the above diagram. However, any time the profile is removed from the gate-
way, it will return to Factory Default mode.
Profile Configured
The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools or a distributor; or after creating a profile
using the magnetic sensor. Profile configured mode is a temporary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal
mode.
The gateway does not provide fire protection in the profile configured mode. While in the profile configured mode, the gateway reports
a “RF MESH NOT FORMED” or “RF MESH” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Profile Assigned” to the communicator dis-
play of the SWIFT Tools application.
Mesh Formation
The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire
protection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh formation mode:
after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor.
after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a profile.
automatically after start-up when the gateway was previously part of a mesh.
by a command from the SWIFT Tools application.
A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh formation mode. The gateway and all
communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the same profile to join the network.
If the gateway automatically entered mesh formation after start-up, mesh formation will terminate 10 minutes after the last device has
joined or after all existing devices are recovered. If new devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh for-
mation terminates after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh formation can be termi-
nated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again or by using the SWIFT Tools application.
The gateway reports a “RF MESH FORMING” or “RF MESH” trouble when it is mesh formation mode with additional devices in the
mesh. The gateway reports “Mesh Formation” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Initial Mesh Restructuring Mode
Initial mesh restructuring mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The gateway and peripheral devices do not provide fire
protection during the initial mesh restructuring mode. Mesh restructuring analyzes signal strengths between devices. The gateway desig-
nates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all transmissions. Mesh
restructuring automatically terminates once all devices have a redundant communication path and signal strengths that meet the require-
ments of primary and secondary transmission paths. Any device that does not have a redundant path or meet the requirements for signal
strength will report a fault.
The gateway reports a “RF MESH FORMING” or “RF MESH” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the com-
municator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Normal Mode
Normal mode is the network’s standard operating state. The mesh network has been formed and is providing fire protection. The mesh
network will continuously search for additional devices with a matching profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh net-
work periodically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gateway reports “Normal” to the communicator display
of the SWIFT Tools application.
Rescue Mode
During normal mode, if an out-of-network device with a matching profile is discovered by the network, the gateway will trigger rescue
mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode but also
search for a lost or added device. Rescue mode automatically terminates 3 minutes after the last device is rescued and returns to normal
mode. The gateway does not report troubles during rescue mode but reports “Rescue” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools
application.
Mesh Restructuring Mode
In addition to the initial mesh restructuring mode, mesh restructuring is automatically performed after any restoration of communication
to a device or to recover from a link failure (Class A fault). Mesh restructuring that occurs during normal mode does not generate a trou-
ble message. During mesh restructuring, fire protection is provided by all devices that are participating in the mesh communication. The
gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Operations WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway
Bootloader Mode
The gateway enters the bootloader mode when its firmware is being updated using SWIFT Tools. The gateway does not communicate
with the FACP during bootloader mode. The gateway reports “Bootloader” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Mesh Upgrade
Starting with version 3.0, firmware updates for the wireless mesh devices (detectors, monitor module, relay, etc.) can be broadcast over
the mesh network. Fire protection will not be provided during the upgrade process.
SWIFT tools will be used to initiate and monitor the upgrade process. During the upgrade process each device in the mesh will appear as
a no answer or invalid reply. Refer to Section 2.9.10 for more information on the mesh upgrade process.
Neighboring Network Scan
A Mesh network will identify adjacent mesh networks for the purpose of avoiding communication collisions and for time synchroniza-
tion to ensure end-to-end latency compliance. Fire protection will be provided during a neighboring network scan by all devices that are
participating in the mesh communication. The gateway reports “Neighboring Scan” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools
application.
2.9.2 LED Patterns
The LED indicator patterns are provided in Appendix D on page 55.
2.9.3 Lock/Unlock the Gateway
The gateway can be locked to prevent access to the magnetic sensors and to password-protect all wireless interactions. The lock function
can be performed by SWIFT Tools. When SWIFT Tools is used to lock the gateway, a password must be provided for all future interac-
tions, including unlocking the gateway. If the gateway was previously locked with a password from SWIFT Tools, the previous pass-
word will be applied. Use this password for all future interactions with the SWIFT Tools application.

2.9.4 Weak Link Trouble Reporting
The SWIFT Network uses two paths of communication for each device. To establish the link between devices as a viable communication
path, the signal strengths must meet the limits provided in Section 2.3. The SWIFT Network implements a higher threshold for primary
connections to provide an extra layer of robustness and immunity from interference. A weak link trouble condition is initiated for any
device that does not have at least one connection at the primary threshold. This is an optional setting that can be disabled to ignore the
weak link trouble condition. The trouble can be disabled at the gateway.
Disable Trouble Reporting at the Gateway Using SWIFT Tools

2.9.7 Multiple Wireless Sensor Network Installation Restrictions
The SWIFT Network technology shares the RF spectrum with other Honeywell Wireless Sensor Network systems. Honeywell has estab-
lished a limit of 4 overlapping networks to avoid congestion in the RF spectrum. If the 4 network limit is exceeded, a system trouble will
be generated by the system that detects 4 or more adjacent networks. To resolve this trouble, the instances of overlap need to be removed.
Refer to Appendix C:, "Troubleshooting and Testing" for suggestions on removing overlap between wireless networks. The trouble will
be self-restoring up to 36 hours after the condition is resolved. To expedite the trouble resolution, transition the network that is reporting
the trouble in and out of mesh formation mode.
2.9.8 Multiple Wireless Sensor Network Synchronization
Installations that deploy multiple mesh networks with one or more wireless initiating devices in one network activating one or more
wireless output devices in another network must be in synchronization to meet the alarm latency of 10 seconds.
Mesh network synchronization is an automatic process for any networks that are in an overlapping condition. Mesh network synchroni-
zation will occur after the initial mesh restructuring.
Trouble Reporting for Multiple Mesh Synchronization
A trouble will be generated for any overlapping networks with insufficient signal strength for reliable synchronization communication.
Reliable communication for mesh synchronization requires a minimum of two devices in each network to be in range of each other.

WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway Operations
The state of the trouble condition will be indicated by SWIFT Tools as well as the FACP. Mesh Statistics in the diagnostics screen of
SWIFT Tools will provide further details regarding the condition of overlap and recommendations.
Disable Synchronization Fault reporting
The trouble generation of a synchronization fault may be disabled for any installation that does not require mesh-to-mesh synchroniza-
tion. Mesh-to-mesh synchronization is not required for installations that utilize only wireless input types (detectors, monitor modules,
pull stations) with no wireless output device types (relay, AV base, sync module). Mesh-to-mesh would not be required for installations
that utilize only wireless output devices types with no wireless input device types. Mesh-to-mesh synchronization would not be required
for installations where the mesh networks are not operating in a co-operative manner, i.e. the output devices of a particular mesh network
will not be controlled by the events of another mesh network. This will be applicable for mesh networks that are in separate zones with
no dependencies on each other.
To disable the mesh synchronization fault reporting use SWIFT Tools (add the instructions here, process yet to be determined. It will be
similar to the weak link trouble reporting).
2.9.9 Avoiding RF Interference
The SWIFT wireless mesh network uses radio frequency hopping spread spectrum technology to communicate in the 900 MHz ISM
band (902MHz to 928MHz). Other commercial and industrial products also operate in this band. If two-way radios or other wireless
communication devices are used during the installation process, it is recommended that they be kept at least 4 feet away from the Faren-
hyt wireless devices or that they operate on a different frequency band to ensure rapid mesh formation.
A properly installed SWIFT wireless mesh network with primary link reporting enabled will be highly immune to RF interference from
other wireless products even when they are nearby. The use of the weak link reporting feature is highly recommended. If the system is
installed in a controlled environment where other 900 MHz ISM band devices will not be present, the primary link reporting feature may
be disabled to permit greater distances between installed devices if required.
The SWIFT wireless mesh network will be able to automatically detect and avoid certain types of in-band channel interference (often
caused by two-way radios) by using an alternate channel set. The system will log detection and avoidance of this kind of interference in
the gateway history as “Walkie Talkie Mode” Entry or Exit.

2.9.10 Trouble MessagesDistributed Firmware Updates
Starting with version 3.0 and higher, firmware updates for devices in the mesh network can be distributed via the mesh network from the
gateway. SWIFT Tools is required to initiate the firmware upgrade procedure. Refer to Appendix E for firmware upgrade instructions.
An entire mesh network of devices can be upgraded assuming certain preconditions are met:
all devices are running application code version 3.0 or higher,
there are no active “low battery” troubles,
there are no active “class A” connectivity fault conditions,
the mesh is in “normal mode”.
Failure to meet the preconditions will be indicated via SWIFT Tools, and must be remedied before the mesh upgrade can continue.
All wireless points associated with the mesh network will be indicating a “no answer” trouble or “invalid reply”. There are two phases to
the mesh upgrade procedure.
Phase 1 - Mesh upgrade preparation:
Trouble Message Type Description Course of Action
RF JAMMING or
JAMMING
Non-latching The gateway is being overloaded
with RF energy and is unable to
receive messages from other
devices.
Identify any RF emitters in close proximity of the
gateway and remove them or relocate the gateway.
SOFTWARE MISMATCH
or SOFTWARE
Non-latching Software mismatch between the
application code for the RF
processor and the SLC processor.
Use SWIFT Tools to identify the mismatch, and
update the processors as necessary for compatibility.
RF MESH FORMING or
RF MESH
Non-latching The gateway and attached devices
are searching for additional
devices to join the mesh. The
wireless system is not able to
provide fire protection during this
time.
Wait until all desired wireless devices are
communicating and are members of the mesh
network. Once all desired devices are in the mesh
network, the mesh forming mode can be terminated
by the user by activating the Mesh formation
magnetic sensor or by using the SWIFT Tools. If no
action is taken, this mode will automatically exit 10
minutes after the last device joins.
RF MESH NOT FORMED
or RF MESH
Non-latching The gateway contains a profile but
has not formed a mesh.
To form a mesh, refer to, "Create a Mesh Network".
RF MESH REFORMING or

Non-latching The gateway is performing the
initial identification and assignment
of optimal communication paths for
the mesh network. The wireless
system is not able to provide fire
protection during this time.
No action needed. The duration of this event
correlates to the number of devices in the mesh. A
fully loaded mesh may take up to 5 minutes to
restructure.
NO PROFILE Non-latching The gateway is in the factory
default state and is not providing
fire protection.
A profile needs to be created or assigned to the
gateway before a mesh can be formed.
ADDRESS FAULT or
ADDR FAULT
Non-latching There is either a device in the
mesh set to address 0 or there is a
duplicate address used for another
wireless module at the address of
the gateway.
The offending device (detector or module set at
address 0 or module at the same address as the
gateway) will be indicating the LED pattern for
address fault. Find and resolve that device.
RF OVERLAP Non-latching Wireless communication reliability
is compromised due to the
installation limits of Farenhyt
wireless systems being exceeded.
Investigate for overlapping or adjacent wireless
systems produced by Farenhyt. Reduce the
instances of overlap by removing systems, or devices
in the overlapping region. Refer to Section 2.9.7 on
the installation limits for the Farenhyt wireless
system.
RF DEVICE NO ANSWER

seconds before it can be
cleared with a system
reset.
A wireless device that was part of
the mesh has dropped from the
mesh. The trouble is reported at
the FACP 90 seconds after the
device drops from the mesh.
Initiate a system reset at the FACP at least 3 minutes
after the trouble was initiated to clear.
If the device was intentionally removed, no further
action is needed.
If the device was not intentionally removed, refer to

SWIFT Tools must stay in communication with the gateway during the mesh upgrade preparation phase.
The user will initiate the upgrade process via SWIFT Tools, and SWIFT Tools will proceed to automatically update the SLC application
code of the gateway, the RF application code of the gateway, and transfer the new device application code to the gateway. The user may
cancel the process at any point during the mesh upgrade preparation. Mesh upgrade preparation can take 5 to 15 minutes depending on
the number of downloads that are needed.
Phase 2 - Mesh upgrade in progress:
The gateway will distribute the new application image to the mesh network of devices during this phase. SWIFT Tools is not required to
be in communication during this phase, but will provide indication of the progress of the upgrade when it is in communication. The dis-
tribution of the new application image may take up to 90 minutes depending on the number of devices in the mesh network.
The gateway will automatically execute mesh formation at the completion of the mesh upgrade. Any devices that did not successfully
complete the upgrade will need to be upgraded individually.

Configuration and Programming Wireless Devices
3.5 Configuration and Programming
Device configuration starts with assigning a profile.
3.5.1 Assigning Profiles
To assign a profile, the device must be in a factory default state. A single red light flashes on the LED confirming that the device is in the
default state. To restore the device to factory default state, refer to Section 3.5.4, “Restoring a Device to Factory Default”.
There are two methods to assigning a profile.
Assigning a Profile to a Device (Detector or Module) Using a Gateway or Distributor
A gateway that has a profile can be used to distribute that profile to other devices. The gateway must be in distributor mode before it can
distribute a profile. For more information on converting a gateway to a distributor, refer to Section 2.8.3. A device with a profile can be
used to distribute the profile. To put a device into distributor mode, refer to topic, “Converting a Device into a Distributor” on page 33.
Distribute a Profile from a Gateway/Distributor to a Detector
To transfer a profile from a gateway/distributor to a detector:
1. Bring the detector within 20 feet of the gateway/distributor.
2. Insert one or more batteries to power on the detector. Ensure the detector is in factory default state. The LED on the detector will
single-blink or double-blink red confirming that it is in the factory default state.
3. Activate the magnet test switch shown in the figure below. (The base with the integral tamper magnet or another magnet can be
used to do this.) Once the magnet sensor has been activated, the LED blinks red every half second indicating that it is requesting a
profile. If the profile is successfully received, the green LED turns on steady for 10 seconds. If the profile is not received within 1
minute, the LED blinks red every ten seconds indicating that it has stopped requesting a profile.
Distribute a Profile from a Gateway/Distributor to a Module
To transfer a profile from a gateway/distributor to a module:
1. Bring the module within 20 feet of the gateway/distributor.
2. Insert one or more batteries to power on the module. Ensure the module is in factory default state. If the module is in factory default
state, the LED blinks red once.
3. Toggle the state of the tamper condition to instruct the module to request a profile. To toggle the tamper condition state, start with
the faceplate (with integral magnet) removed.
4. Quickly replace then remove the faceplate from the module to momentarily activate the magnetic tamper sensor on the module. Do
not attach the mounting screws for the faceplate during this step. The LED blinks red every half second indicating that it is
requesting a profile. The green LEDs turn on steady for ten seconds indicating that the profile has been assigned. If the profile is not
received within 1 minute, the LED blinks red every ten seconds indicating that it has stopped requesting a profile.

9. Click Assign.
The device is now included in the list of devices with a profile assigned. When the profile is assigned, the green LEDs turn on steady for
10 seconds.
3.5.2 Distributor Mode
Converting a Device into a Distributor
To turn a device into a distributor:
1. Power up the device with one battery installed.
2. Ensure that the device is in the profile modification mode. If the device is in profile modification mode, the yellow LED will blink
once every 5 seconds. The profile modification mode times out if the device has not received a command in one minute.
3. Alternate the SLC address wheel between 0-1-0-1. To turn the SLC address wheel, use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the rotary
switches on the device to:
1. Set the address to 0.
2. Change the address to 1.
3. Change the address back to 0.
4. Change the address back to 1.
Converting a Distributor Back into a Device
To return a distributor device back to a network device, replace the batteries and provide a proper SLC address. A normal device requires
four batteries for proper operation. It is recommended to use fresh batteries after the distributor mode.
3.5.3 Mesh Formation
To add a device to a mesh, refer to the topic, "Create a Mesh Network". To form a mesh network, ensure that the gateway is powered on
and contains a profile. Activate the mesh formation (refer to Figure 2.2) magnetic sensor on the gateway.
Repeater
The SWIFT Network does not require the use of a dedicated repeater as all wireless devices act as repeaters. When the repeater function
is needed in a location where no specific fire function is required, a wireless monitor module or another device can be installed to act as
a repeater.
3.5.4 Restoring a Device to Factory Default
Removing Profiles Without Using SWIFT Tools
A device can be restored to factory default state:
1. Start with the device powered off. The process is performed during start-up.
2. Power on the device by inserting a single battery into any slot in the device. The LEDs will blink yellow twice every five seconds
for one minute after inserting the battery.
3. Alternate the SLC address wheel between 0-159-0. To turn the SLC address wheel, use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the rotary
switches on the device to:
1. Set the address to 0.
2. Change the address to 159 (tens set to 15, ones set to 9).

further information on assigning a profile, refer to “Assigning a Profile to a Device (Detector or Module) Using a Gateway or Distribu-
tor” on page 31. A device cannot perform any fire protection in the factory default state. In default mode, the devices will be viewable in
the communicator window of SWIFT Tools with the state displayed as “Factory Default”. A device in factory default can be used for site
survey.
Site Survey Mode
A site survey assesses and qualifies a site for installing a SWIFT network. The site survey view in SWIFT Tools gives the Radio Fre-
quency (RF) assessment of the site. The tool reports the suggested device spacing based on the data collected during the site survey. This
helps to improve the reliability and performance of a SWIFT network in the wireless fire alarm system. A device cannot perform any fire
protection in the site survey mode. A device that is ready to enter site survey will indicate “pending site survey” in the communicator
section of SWIFT Tools. A device in site survey will not communicate with SWIFT Tools and will be listed as “offline” in the communi-
cator section. For more information on performing a site survey, refer to Appendix B.
Profile Assigned Mode
In this mode, devices are associated with the gateway but are not active participants in the mesh network. A device that is not in the tam-
pered state can join a mesh network in formation or during rescue mode. For further information on mesh formation, refer to “Mesh For-
mation Mode” on page 35. For more information on rescue mode, refer to “Rescue Mode” on page 35. A device with an assigned profile
can also be used to distribute profiles. Refer to Section 3.5.2.
Devices are not enabled for fire protection until they become part of a mesh network. A device will show a or no answer/missing at the
FACP.
In this mode, devices are viewable in the communicator window of SWIFT Tools. If the device has a profile and is in the tampered state,
it will indicate a status as “Profile Assigned-Tamper”. A non-tampered device will indicate “active scan” as it searches for a mesh net-
work.
Bootloader Mode
In this mode, a device is ready for an update. It cannot participate in a mesh network and cannot provide fire protection. The device is
viewable in the communicator window of SWIFT Tools with the status “Bootloader”. To remove a device from bootloader mode, refer to
Appendix C.
Distributor Mode
In this mode, a device is functioning as a profile distributor. The device cannot participate in a mesh network and cannot provide fire pro-
tection while it is in distributor mode. A device in distributor mode will be used as a mobile unit to share the profile with other devices.
The distributing device will be available in the communicator window of the SWIFT Tools with the status “Distributor”. For more infor-
mation, refer to Section 3.5.2.
Mesh Participant Modes
Devices that are in the mesh network no longer communicate directly with SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must communicate with the
gateway for status information on a device that has joined a mesh. The gateway will respond to the FACP for the device at the address set
with the SLC rotary address wheels.
Mesh Formation Mode
In this mode, a device is an active participant in a mesh that is forming. The LED will blink green then yellow every 6 seconds. The
device cannot perform any fire protection in this state. The device responds to its SLC address with an “INITIALIZING” trouble. For
further information on mesh formation mode, refer to “Section 3.5.3”.
Initial Mesh Restructuring Mode
In this mode, the mesh network is formed and is in the process of establishing stronger communication paths. The LED will blink yellow
every 6 seconds. The device cannot perform any fire protection in this state. The device responds to its SLC address with a “INITIALIZ-
ING” trouble.
Normal Mode
In normal mode, the mesh network is formed and provides fire protection. The LED will blink every 18 seconds. The LED flash can be
disabled by panel configuration. If a device is in trouble, it is indicated by the trouble messages.
Rescue Mode
In rescue mode, a devices is an active participant of a mesh network. It will search and retrieve any device that has lost communication
with the network. Rescue mode is indicated by an LED blink every 12 seconds.

Wireless Devices Device Operations
3.6.2 LED Indicators
The two LEDs on the devices blink in the same pattern to allow the LEDs to be viewed from any angle. The LED indicators are provided
in Appendix D on page 55.
3.6.3 Trouble Conditions
The following trouble conditions are unique to the battery powered RF devices.
Trouble Conditions with Fire Protection
The devices (on an only) indicate the following trouble conditions with a single yellow LED blink every 14 seconds. The wireless
device will still perform fire protection during the following trouble states.
Low Battery
The low battery event denotes:
• The device has a minimum of one week power left to perform the required operations.
Or
• One (or more) of the batteries is missing or dead.
The low battery event is a latching condition. To clear the low battery event, tamper the device and replace all four batteries. When a
device is tampered, it drops out of the mesh network and attempts to rejoin as soon as the batteries are replaced and the tamper event is
cleared. If the device has dropped from the mesh prior to the tamper event, a system reset has to be issued to clear the low battery trou-
ble. The panel displays “LOW BATTERY” or “LOW BATT” during a low battery condition.
Weak Link
The weak link trouble denotes a connection of insufficient primary parent link signal strength. To resolve a weak link, reduce the dis-
tance between devices, place them away from obstructions, or add a repeater. Tamper the device when moving it to a new location.
Restart mesh formation after a repeater is installed or after a device has been relocated and the tamper condition is cleared. Terminate
mesh formation once the devices have joined the mesh or allow mesh formation to timeout. Restructuring will automatically start and the
gateway will reevaluate the link connectivity between all devices and select suitable signal paths.
Weak link trouble reporting can be disabled at the FACP or at the gateway for installations not requiring primary link connectivity. Refer
to Section 2.9.4 for more information on disabling weak link trouble reporting. Refer to the troubleshooting section for more information
on resolving a weak link condition.
The panel displays “WEAK LINK” for a device that is in the weak link condition.
Class A Fault
The Class A fault denotes a single connection path from the device. The wireless system is a Class A system requiring two communica-
tion paths for normal operations. To remedy the Class A fault, ensure adequate device spacing. The use of a repeater may be required.
The wireless mesh is a self-healing network. If the trouble is not cleared within 5 minutes, additional actions may be required. Refer to
the troubleshooting section for tips on resolving Class A fault conditions.
The panel will display “RF CLASS A” during a Class A fault condition.
Trouble States without Fire Protection
Jamming
Jamming occurs when a device is overloaded with an interfering RF signal but is able to send outgoing messages. A jamming event is
detected after 20 seconds of exposure to the jamming signal. In the event of jamming, the device will drop from the mesh network. The
panel displays “RF JAMMING” during a jamming condition.
Duplicate Address
Two wireless devices on the same mesh network that are set to the same address will report a duplicate address trouble at the FACP. The
gateway will respond to the panel with the device type of the first device to join.
The panel displays “DBL ADDR” during a duplicate address condition.
Tamper
A tamper trouble indicates that a detector is not firmly attached to its base or the cover plate is not properly attached to a module. The
tamper condition is annunciated in the following ways:
Device Indication The yellow LED on the device turns on steady for 4 seconds followed by a blink pattern of yellow, yellow, red every
15 seconds immediately after the tamper condition.
Panel Indication Devices that are in the tampered condition report a latching trouble event. The event is active for 90 seconds before it
can be removed with a system reset. Once the event is removed, the device reports a “TAMPER” until the device is restored or the point
is removed from the database.
Clearing the Tamper To clear the tamper,
• For a detector, ensure that the magnet has not been removed from the base and the detector is locked together with its base.
• For a module, ensure that there is a magnet in the cover plate and it is securely fastened to the device in the correct orientation.
Once the tamper event is cleared, the LEDs in the device turn on steady for 2.5 seconds, in the following color patterns that denote the
battery status.

Device Operations Wireless Devices
•Green - All the four batteries are installed and fresh. The device has a minimum one year of normal operation.
•Ye l l o w - All the four batteries are installed, and one or more is no longer fresh. This device has between a minimum of 1 month and
1 year of operation.
•Red - One or more of the batteries are low in power and/or the device has a minimum of one week of operation.
After the device displays the current battery condition, it attempts to join the mesh network in the rescue mode or normal mode. This is
indicated by a double yellow blink every 3.4 seconds. If a device does not find its mesh in the rescue mode, it searches for its mesh under
formation. This is indicated by a double yellow blink every 20 seconds.
No Answer
A device that is not in the mesh, displays a “MISSING” message at the FACP. Follow the steps in “Mesh Formation Mode” on page 35
to have a device join the mesh.
Device Initialization
A device reports a device initialization trouble when it is part of a mesh network but is not capable of performing fire protection. This is
the case for mesh networks that are still forming or going through initial restructuring. The panel displays “INITIALIZING” during a
device initialization condition.

Appendix B: Site Survey
A site survey is recommended to assess and qualify the site prior to installing a SWIFT network. The site survey consists of a link quality
test and RF scan test. After both tests are completed, the results of the site survey can be obtained using SWIFT Tools. The information
provided by SWIFT Tools is used for site qualification, maximum device spacing identification, and configuring the network. This helps
to improve the reliability and performance of the wireless network in the wireless fire alarm system.
B.1 Conduct a Site Survey
B.1.1 Link Quality Test
A link quality test is a quick and repeatable test that provides immediate feedback on device connectivity. The link quality test sends data
from one device to another to test for data loss and measure the signal strength. In a link test, the device addresses are set in the range of
001 to 150. A minimum of two devices are needed to conduct a link quality test.
A link test is conducted between two or more devices. The link test starts when a device that is in the “pending site survey” state has its
tamper condition cleared. The device will send a burst of data to the next address lower than its own address. The lower addressed device
will automatically return the link quality test results for display using the device LEDs. For example, clearing the tamper condition on a
detector set to address 2 (D002) will make the detector enter the link quality test. D002 will send a burst of data to a device at address
001 (either detector or module). The device at address 001 will measure the signal strength and count the data received in the burst and
return the information to D002. The results of the test will be displayed at D002. The test can be repeated by tampering D002 to return it
to the “pending site survey” mode and then clearing the tamper.
Basic Requirements of a Link Quality Test
To conduct a link test:
two or more devices (detectors) are required.
devices must be in factory default state. The LEDs on the device will blink single or double red to confirm it is in the factory
default state. Refer to Section 3.5.4 on page 33 for more information on setting the device to factory default state.
device addresses can bet set in the range of 1 to 150.
Conduct a Link Quality Test
To conduct a link quality test:
1. Remove the batteries from the devices that will be used for the site survey and set the SLC address. To set an SLC address, use a
flathead screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the device.
1. For the first device used in a site survey, set the SLC address to 001.
2. For each subsequent device, use the next highest SLC address (up to address 150). For example, the first device was set to 001,
set the second device to 002, and the third device to 003, etc.
2. Bring the first device (001) to the first location to conduct the test.
3. Insert one battery into the device. Inserting more than one battery deters the device from entering the site survey mode. The device
is ready for site survey mode if the LED blinks yellow every 5 seconds.
4. Clear the tamper condition to proceed with the test. To clear the tamper condition on a detector, insert the detector into the base and
twist to lock the detector completely into the base. To clear the tamper condition on a module, attach the faceplate to the module.
When the tamper is cleared, the LEDs on the device starts blinking yellow every ½ second for approximately 20 seconds. The
results appear in approximately 20 seconds and the LEDs on the first device change to solid red. This is due to the absence of a
lower-addressed device with which to form a pair. This result is expected from the 1st device when a link quality test is performed.
5. Bring the second device (002) to the second location and insert one battery into the device. The device is ready for site survey mode
if the LED blinks yellow every 5 seconds.
6. Clear the tamper condition to proceed with the test. To clear the tamper condition on a detector, insert the detector into the base and
twist to lock the detector completely into the base. To clear the tamper condition on a module, attach the faceplate to the module.
When the tamper is cleared, the LEDs on the device starts blinking yellow every 1/2 second for approximately 20 seconds. The
results appear in approximately 20 seconds.
7. Repeat for subsequence devices.
8. The device will conduct a link test to the next lowest address; in this case device 001. The result of the link test from 002 to 001 is
displayed by the LEDs on device 002. Refer to Table B.1 below.
9. Once the link test is complete between 002 and 001, continue for address 003, 004, etc. for all devices that will be used in the site
survey. This test may be repeated any number of times. For devices addressed to 101 or higher, the test must be repeated, if desired,
within five minutes of the last concluded test or the devices will start an RF scan test.

Site Survey Conduct a Site Survey
Results of a Link Quality Test
The following table explains the LED patterns before and during a link quality test.
The LED pattern for a link quality test will continue to be displayed until the device is tampered or the batteries die for a device that is
addressed 100 or lower. For devices addressed 101 to 150, the result will be displayed until the device starts the RF Scan.
To repeat the link quality test, toggle the tamper state. To toggle the tamper state on a detector, twist the detector in the base counter-
clockwise as if removing the detector from the base, then twist it back in clockwise to lock it in. To toggle the tamper state on a module,
remove the faceplate and then reconnect it. Once the device is tampered, it will return to the pending site survey state. Once the tamper is
cleared, the link quality test will be restarted. Only the results for the last link quality test are retained.
After a Link Quality Test
Retrieve the link quality test results for devices 001-100. To retrieve the site survey results, refer to the topicB.1.3, "Retrieving Site Sur-
vey Results"at the end of this section. For devices 101-150, wait to retrieve the link quality results until the device starts an RF Scan test.
B.1.2 RF Scan Test
A Radio Frequency scan test is conducted to assess and measure the background noise and interference from other wireless systems if
any, in the site. The RF Scan test can be conducted individually or following the link quality test. An RF Scan test will be conducted for
any device with an SLC address set between 101 and 150 at the end of a Link Quality Test.
Conduct an RF Scan Test
To conduct an RF scan test, follow the same procedure for a link quality test. However, the device addresses for an RF scan test must
start at 101 and have the subsequent devices address set as 102, 103, etc. Each device will conduct the link quality test as described
above, then transition to the RF scan test 5 minutes after the last link quality test is performed to or from that device.
If several devices are being tested, it is possible that some devices will start and complete the link test and progress to the RF scan test
while other devices are finishing the link quality test. The RF Scan test may take up to 70 minutes. The time remaining and the test status
are displayed at the device using the LEDs. The LED patterns are shown below.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting and Testing
C.1 Troubleshooting
Problem Description Action
Class A fault condition Device has a single parent connection, and is
missing the redundant class A connection.
If a suitable parent is available, the background mesh restructuring
routine should self-heal the network. If the network does not self-heal
after ten minutes, reduce spacing between devices or utilize SWIFT
Tools for suggested repeater placement to add stronger parents.
Activate mesh formation to trigger a mesh restructuring routine to re-
evaluate the trouble condition after taking action.
Jamming Jamming occurs when a device is overloaded
with an interfering RF signal and is unable to
process incoming messages, but is able to report
the condition to its parents.
A jammed device will automatically remove itself from the mesh
network after reporting the jamming. The device will attempt to self-
heal and recover into the network. Identify any possible sources of the
jamming signal and see if the spacing from the device to the jamming
source can be increased to an acceptable range. A site survey RF
scan test can be used to categorize the jamming signal.
Low battery One or more of the four batteries are
missing/dead and/or the device has a minimum
of one week of operation remaining.
To clear the low battery event, tamper the device and replace all four
batteries. When a device is tampered, it drops out of the mesh
network and attempts to rejoin as soon as the batteries are replaced
and the tamper event is cleared. Once a low battery trouble is
indicated there is a minimum of one week of operation before the
device is non-functional.
Duplicate address/
Illegal address
Two or more wireless devices on the same mesh
network that are set to the same address report a
duplicate address trouble. An address set to zero
will report an illegal address.
Change the address of the device(s) to avoid duplication and error.
Mesh formation does
not find all devices
A device does not connect to the gateway/mesh
network
Verify the device has a profile. Verify that the profile matches the
profile in the gateway. Two different profiles may use the same mesh
ID. Remove and re-profile the device to guarantee the correct profile.
Verify the device is powered and the tamper condition is cleared.
Check the device spacing and the range from the device to the mesh.
A site survey link test can be used to verify connectivity from one
location to another.
Mesh restructuring does
not end
The gateway/mesh network appears to be stuck
in mesh restructuring
Use SWIFT Tools to investigate for the presence of interference such
as Walkie talkie/ RFID reader or unstable devices (dropping and
joining). Interference such as Walkie talkie/ RFID reader will prohibit
restructuring from fully executing. Devices joining a mesh will delay
the restructuring event.
Devices drop during
operation
A device drop event is indicated in history. Device drop is the predecessor to a Missing trouble. Inspect the area
for any changes to the environment that could block radio
communication. Use a site survey RF Scan to check for any
interference and use a site survey link test to check the connectivity
from the device to its closest neighbor.
Max gateway trouble
reported
The number of Honeywell SWIFT systems that
can co-exist in range of each other has been
exceeded.
Use the network statistics provided by SWIFT Tools to identify the
interfering networks and the nature of the fault. The networks will be
listed by a unique number; this is not the serial number of the
gateway. One or more of the systems will need to be powered down to
clear the fault. Where possible, maximize the number of devices on a
mesh network to reduce the number of total mesh networks; i.e. use
one mesh network with 50 devices instead of two mesh networks with
25 each. Restructure the layout of the mesh networks to group
devices and the gateway to avoid overlap. It may take 36 hours for the
fault to clear. This can be expedited by toggling the state of mesh
formation.
Device does not rejoin
the mesh after battery
replacement
Device is an invalid reply/no answer after
replacing the batteries.
Verify the tamper condition is cleared. Use mesh formation to have the
device rejoin the mesh network. Low battery and tamper are both
latching conditions. Ensure a reset has been initiated to clear those
events.
Low battery trouble
reported after battery
replacement
Low battery trouble is still indicated after
replacement.
Use the network statistics provided in SWIFT Tools to see the battery
voltage measured for each individual battery. Verify that each battery
is present and at a suitable voltage level. The low battery trouble is a
latching trouble, ensure a reset has been initiated since the
replacement.

Troubleshooting and Testing Testing the Gateway and Devices
C.2 Testing the Gateway and Devices
The gateway must be tested after installation and be part of a periodic maintenance program. The testing methods must satisfy the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The gateway provides optimum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with
NFPA 72 ordinances.
C.2.1 Testing LED Indicators
For more information on LED indicators, refer to Appendix D, “LED Indicators”, on page 55.
C.3 Testing the Wireless Network
Using the SWIFT Tools application, users can:
• Diagnose and troubleshoot the wireless network and connectivity of the devices.
• Monitor the wireless network topology, quality of the communication links between the devices, live and historical event reports for
troubleshooting purposes.
• View the parent-child relationship and the signal strength between the two devices, and identify the device that has lost the
communication link with the wireless network.
In addition, SWIFT Tools:
• Communicates with the gateway to retrieve live information about the connectivity and status of the devices.
• Stores the wireless network data such as network map, parent-child information, device information, history events, and network
statistics.
The SWIFT Tools application allows retrieval of the following information for diagnosing and troubleshooting purposes.
• Network Topology
Site survey does not
find a link
Solid red results for the link test Verify the addresses of the devices used during the test. The lower
addressed device must complete its link test before the device at the
next higher address starts the link test. Verify the devices are in range
of each other.
SWIFT Tools does not
import site survey data
Selecting the device in the communicator in
SWIFT Tools does not have an effect
The device does not have any site survey results to be imported. It
has not found a link during the link test and/or it has not collected any
data for an RF Scan.
SWIFT Tools says
device/gateway is out of
range
Device or gateway is not communicating to
SWIFT Tools
Verify the device or gateway is powered on and in a state that
supports SWIFT Tools communication. For instance, a device in the
mesh network does not communicate to SWIFT Tools. It
communicates to the gateway. A device that has completed a site
survey does not communicate to SWIFT Tools until it returns to the
pending site survey state or factory default state. Move the Adapter in
range of gateway/devices.
Scan does not find any
devices
All devices are out of range Verify at least one device is in range of SWIFT Tools, the USB adapter
is connected, and the scan is on. SWIFT Tools processes the
messages faster with multiple devices in range. If only one device is in
range it can take up to 1 minute for the scan to detect the device.
Site survey devices are
not displayed in the
communicator of
SWIFT Tools.
Verify the device is in the pending site survey mode or factory default
mode. The device will not communicate with SWIFT Tools while it is in
site survey mode.
FACP reports Missing

Gateway is not communicating with the panel Verify the gateway is set to a valid address.
FACP reports Missing
for the wireless devices
FACP does not recognize the detectors Verify using SWIFT Tools that the devices are part of the mesh
network.
Device does not receive
a profile
A profile request has been initiated but timed out
before receiving a profile
Ensure the gateway or distributor is still in distributor mode. Ensure
the device is in range of the gateway or distributor. If there are multiple
devices in range, the might be interfering with the profile transfer.
Move the distributor and device to a different area or shut down the
peripheral devices.
Application download
fails
SWIFT Tools failed to finish a download Verify the number of devices in range of the USB adapter during the
download does not exceed the recommended limit of 10 devices.
Verify the device is in range and powered on during the download
process.
