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 notifi-

cation 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 commu-

nication, and other various interoperable communication meth-

ods—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 National Fire Protection Association

Standard 72-2002 (NFPA 72-2002), 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

outlets, such as air conditioning vents.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reach-

ing the detector.

The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm

smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at var-

ious levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not cre-

ated by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the

detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing

limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing cham-

bers 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 warn-

ing 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 materi-

als, 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 detec-

tors 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,

signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a devel-

oping fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its abil-

ity to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,

speakers 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 people 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 intelligi-

bility 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 sig-

nals.

• 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 compat-

ible 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 prem-

ises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or tem-

porarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line

failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is

inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in

excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the

manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA stan-

dards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72-2002 shall

be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or

high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A mainte-

nance agreement should be arranged through the local manu-

facturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled

monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and

should be performed by authorized professional life safety sys-

tem installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections

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

connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all

sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associ-

ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-

ing cards, modules, or interconnecting 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 pro-

gramming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-

acceptance testing is required after any change, addition or

deletion of system components, or after any modification,

repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All compo-

nents, 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 inadvertently 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 (non-

condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful

life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic com-

ponents 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 indi-

cating 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 light-

ning induced transients. Although no system is completely

immune from lightning transients and interference, proper

grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial

wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility

to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Ser-

vices Department if any problems are anticipated or encoun-

tered.

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 modifi-

cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-

former, or printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-

tightening 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 han-

dling any circuits 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.

XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway Magnet Sensors

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 distribution 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) toggles the gateway in and out of mesh

formation mode. The initial activation of the sensor puts the gateway in mesh formation mode (as

long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation of the magnetic sensor toggles 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

Choose a location for the gateway that is clean, dry, and vibration-free. The area should be readily

accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the gateway. Metal obstructions

impede the radio frequency communication and should be avoided. Carefully unpack the system

and inspect for shipping damage if any. All wiring must comply with the national and local codes

for fire alarm systems.

XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway Mounting and Wiring

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 pres-

ence of short circuits, including Class A applications and applications that use isolator modules.

Refer to the SLC Wiring Manual for more information on wiring using isolators.

2.7.4 Gateway Powered by an External, Regulated +24VDC Source

To power the gateway using an external, regulated +24VDC source, connect the gateway as

Configuration and Programming XLS-WSG 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.

XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway Configuration and Programming

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 18.

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 ‘12345’ and is needed if the gateway is locked by the FACP and later

accessed by SWIFT Tools.

Immediately after successful profile creation, the gateway starts the profile distribution mode.

Refer to Section 2.8.3 for further information on profile distribution mode.

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 profile:

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 gateway. All devices must be

SWIFT™ Wireless Manual — Form Number 95-8544-2 P/N LS10036-000XL-E:C 5/8/2015 19

Configuration and Programming XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway

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 12 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 sec-

onds.

• 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 automati-

cally 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 sensor.

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

Operations XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway

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 pres-

ence of a profile, the gateway will proceed 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 network.

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 protection. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detec-

tors 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 communication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.

The gateway reports a ‘PROFILE MISSING' or ‘PR MIS’ trouble to the FACP. The gateway

reports “Factory Default” to the communicator display of SWIFT Tools.

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 tem-

porary 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 "MESH NOT FORMED" or "NO MSH" trouble to the

FACP. The gateway reports “Profile Assigned” to the communicator display 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 forma-

tion 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.

by a command from the FACP.

A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh for-

mation 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 formation terminates

after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh forma-

tion can be terminated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again, by using the

SWIFT Tools application, or by using the FACP.

The gateway reports a “NO WIRELESS DEVS” or “NO DEV” trouble when it is in Mesh Forma-

tion mode without any attached devices. The gateway reports a “MESH IS FORMING” or “MS

FRM” 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.

XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway Operations

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 designates the primary and

secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all transmis-

sions. Mesh restructuring automatically terminates once all devices have a redundant communica-

tion path and signal strengths that meet the requirements 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 ‘RESTRUCTURING’ or ‘RSTRCT’ trouble to the FACP. The gateway

reports “Restructuring” to the communicator 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 network periodically checks for

adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gateway reports “Normal” to the communica-

tor 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 net-

work, the gateway will trigger rescue mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communi-

cation 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 trouble message. During

mesh restructuring, fire protection is provided by all devices that are participating in the mesh com-

munication. The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools

application.

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.

2.9.2 LED Patterns

The LED indicator patterns are provided in Appendix D on page 59.

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 or by the FACP. When

SWIFT Tools is used to lock the gateway, a password must be provided for all future interactions,

including unlocking the gateway. When the gateway is locked by the FACP for the first time, a

default password of “12345” is applied. If the gateway was previously locked with a password from

SWIFT Tools, the previous password will be applied. Use this password for all future interactions

with the SWIFT Tools application.

“shutdown wireless” section of the XLS3000 or XLS-NCA2 Manual.

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 established 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, toggle the network that is reporting the

trouble in and out of mesh formation mode.

2.9.8 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 Honeywell 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 report-

ing 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 and in the XLS3000 history as Alternate Channel Set or Nor-

mal Channel Set.

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 Distribu-

tor” on page 37.

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. 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. 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 detector within 20 feet of the gateway/distributor.

2. 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 removed.

4. Quickly replace then remove the faceplate from 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.

3.6 Device Operations

3.6.1 Modes of Operation

Factory Default Mode

In this mode, the devices are not associated with the gateway. A profile must be assigned to associ-

ate the device with the gateway. For further information on assigning a profile, refer to “Assigning

a Profile to a Device (Detector or Module) Using a Gateway or Distributor” on page 35. 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 Frequency (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 reliabil-

ity and performance of a SWIFT network in the wireless fire alarm system. A device cannot per-

form 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 sur-

vey will not communicate with SWIFT Tools and will be listed as “offline” in the communicator

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 tampered state can join a mesh network in formation or during

rescue mode. For further information on mesh formation, refer to “Mesh Formation Mode” on

page 40. For more information on rescue mode, refer to “Rescue Mode” on page 40. 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 an invalid reply or no answer 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 network.

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 protection 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 information, 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. 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 7 seconds. The device cannot perform any fire protection in this state. The device

responds to its SLC address with a “INIT MODE” or “INIT” 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 communica-

tion paths. The LED will blink yellow every 6.8 seconds. The device cannot perform any fire pro-

tection in this state. The device responds to its SLC address with a “DEVICE INIT” or “INIT”

trouble.

Normal Mode

In normal mode, the mesh network is formed and provides fire protection. The LED will blink

green every 14 seconds. The LED flash can be disabled by panel configuration. If a device is in

trouble, it is indicated by the trouble messages. For information on trouble messages, refer to

Section 3.6.3.

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 a green LED

blink every 7 seconds.

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 59.

3.6.3 Trouble Conditions

The following trouble conditions are unique to the battery powered RF devices. Multiple troubles

states may be active for a single device, but only the highest priority trouble event will be dis-

played.

Trouble Conditions with Fire Protection

The devices (on an XLS3000 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 fol-

lowing trouble states.

SWIFT™ Wireless Manual — Form Number 95-8544-2 P/N LS10036-000XL-E:C 5/8/2015 41

Device Operations Wireless Devices

Low Battery

The low battery event denotes:

• The device has a minimum of one week power left to perform the required operations.

• 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 the 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 trouble. The panel displays “BATTERY LOW” or “BAT LOW” 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 distance 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. Ter-

minate 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 FAULT” or “WEAK” for a device that is in the weak link condi-

tion.

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 communication 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 “CLASS A FAULT” or “CL 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 out-

going 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 “RADIO

JAMMING” or “JAM” during a jamming condition.

Duplicate Address

Two wireless devices on the same mesh network that are set to the same address will report a dupli-

cate 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 “DUAL ADDR” or “DUALAD” 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:

42 SWIFT™ Wireless Manual — Form Number 95-8544-2 P/N LS10036-000XL-E:C 5/8/2015

Wireless Devices Device Operations

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 180 seconds before it can be removed with a system reset. Once the event is

removed, the device reports a “NO ANSWER” or “INVREP” 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 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 fol-

lowing color patterns that denote the battery status.

•Green - All the four batteries are installed and fresh. The device has a minimum one year of

normal operation.

•Yellow - 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 “NO ANSWER”, “NO ANS”, or “INVREP” message at

the FACP. Follow the steps in “Mesh Formation Mode” on page 40 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 “INIT MODE” or “INIT” during a device initial-

ization condition.

3.6.4 Background Events

The following conditions are not considered a trouble, supervisory, or alarm condition. These

events are stored in the history of the XLS3000 FACP only.

Pre-Class A Fault

A device will report a pre-Class A event when it first identifies a single connection path condition.

If the connection path is not restored or replaced with another viable connection path within 180

seconds, a Class A fault condition will be reported. The history event reports this condition as

“PRE-CLASS A FAULT”.

Device Drop

A device will report a device drop if it has lost complete communication with the mesh network. If

the device does not recover in 180 seconds or less, a “NO ANSWER” or “INVREP” trouble is

reported for the address. The history event will report as a “DEVICE DROPPED”.

Weak Link

When weak link reporting is enabled by the gateway and disabled in the FACP, then all weak link

conditions will be entered as background events in history. The history event is reported as a

“WEAK LINK FAULT” or “WEAK” for a device that is in the weak link 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 wire-

less 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 con-

nectivity. The link quality test sends data from one device to another to test for data loss and mea-

sure 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 tam-

per 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 38 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 common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the

device.

a. For the first device used in a site survey, set the SLC address to 001.

b. 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 red

twice 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

52 SWIFT™ Wireless Manual — Form Number 95-8544-2 P/N LS10036-000XL-E:C 5/8/2015

Site Survey Conduct a Site Survey

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 repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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 Survey 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.

Conduct a Site Survey Site Survey

B.1.2 RF Scan Test

A Radio Frequency scan test is conducted to assess and measure the background noise and interfer-

ence 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.

Status of an RF Scan Test

B.1.3 Retrieving Site Survey Results

To retrieve the site survey results:

1. Return the device to “Pending Site Survey” or “Factory Default” mode. This is done by

tampering devices that have completed a link quality test or by rebooting devices that have

completed an RF scan test.

2. Plug the USB adapter into the laptop/PC where SWIFT Tools has been installed.

3. Bring the devices within a range of approximately 20 feet from the USB adapter connected to

the laptop/PC.

4. Logon to SWIFT Tools and retrieve the data.

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.

Toggle 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 or panel history to investigate for the

presence of walkie talkie interference or unstable

devices (dropping and joining). Walkie talkie

interference 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 No Answer/Invalid

reply 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.

Troubleshooting and Testing Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Testing the Gateway and Devices Troubleshooting and Testing

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 opti-

mum 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 59.

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

• History of Events

• Network Snapshots

• Network Statistics

• Device Attributes

C.3.1 Network Topology

Parent-Child Devices

The parent-child relationship between the devices in the wireless network is displayed using the

directional arrows.

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.

Device is in bootloader Device/Gateway is indicating the LED pattern

for bootloader and it is indicated as being in

bootloader in the communicator of SWIFT

Tools.

The device failed to load or initialize the application.

Reboot the device. If it is still in bootloader, the

application will need to be updated using SWIFT Tools.

If problem persists, contact technical support.

Troubleshooting and Testing Testing the Wireless Network

Orphan Devices

A device that is not linked with any other device in the wireless topology is an orphan device. The

device is represented as an orphan device due to one of the following reasons:

• The device was originally a part of the wireless network and was dropped.

• When the network topology was retrieved, the device detail was not retrieved.

• The network connections are saturated and parent-child connection with the device is not

established.

Class A Compliance

Each device must comply with Class A guidelines. Every device must have two parent devices to

be compliant with the Class A guidelines.

Selecting a device from the graphical representation and clicking either left or right allows you to

view the following details. The Network Topology window allows you to click either left or right

on any connected or orphan device.

C.3.2 History Events

History events of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for trouble-

shooting purposes. This report provides information on when the device gets connected with the

wireless network, mode change, and slot change details.

C.3.3 Network Snapshots

Network snapshots can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes.

The network snapshot helps to analyze how the wireless network is functioning over a period of

time.

C.3.4 Network Statistics

Network statistics of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for

troubleshooting purposes. The network statistics provide information on the attributes and RSSI of

a device. The attributes provide information on the retransmission count and device re-join events.

The retransmission count is the number of times a device retransmits the wireless signal. The

device re-join events is the number of times the devices get disconnected from the wireless network

and get connected with the wireless network. The RSSI of a device displays the parent-child rela-

tionship between the devices.

C.3.5 Device Attributes

Device attributes can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes.

The attributes of a device such as low indication, removal indication, level, tamper fault, and others

are retrieved.

NOTE: The device image in SWIFT Tools is altered to depict that it does not meet the required

guidelines.

NOTE: Class A guidelines are not applicable to the gateway.
