remove the detector from the back plate and then replace it. Once the detector

is replaced on the backplate the LED on the detector will flash rapidly 5 times to

indicate that it has sent a transmission. The panel will show and/or sound the

result of the placement test on the keypad. To perform a 2nd and 3rd test, repeat

this procedure.

is facing upward, or you may damage the tamper switch.

NOTE: When you remove the detector from the backplate (tamper the unit), the

detector will also be put into “Detector Walk Test” mode. While in Walk Test Mode

the detector will activate the LED when motion is detected. The detector will also

send a signal to the receiver 5 seconds after motion is detected, indicated by 5

rapid flashes by the LED. The LED will only work in this fashion for 10 motion

detections after a tamper/restore. Note, that the panel will ignore these transmis-

sion signals with respect to a placement test. The only way in which the panel will

acknowledge a placement test, is if the backplate has, each time, been removed

and restored.

WLS906-433: Remove the detector from its backplate, wait 5 seconds and

reattach it, or hold a magnet near the raised line on the outer rim, then remove it.

WLS907-433/WLS925L-433: Open the contact by moving the magnet away

from the unit. The keypad will show/sound the test result. After the first test

result has been generated (about 10 seconds) close the contact to

generate another test result. If the unit is attached to a door or a window,

open and close the door or window to activate the device.

WLS909-433/WLS919-433: Press any function key at several different locations.

Activate the device until you get 3 good results in a row.

You may mount the WLS devices where results were good.

Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You may

only have to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.

NOTE: Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.

7. Go to the next device to be tested and activate it until the test result is

displayed/sounded.

NOTE: Wait until the placement test of one device is shown/sounded before begin-

ning to test the next device.

Continue to test the devices until both the PC5132 and the devices are in good

locations. If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to

move the PC5132 to a better location. (See section 2.2 for tips on finding a

location for the PC5132.)

8. To exit the placement test and return to installer programming, press [#] twice.

Testing Individual Wireless Devices:

1. Temporarily place the wireless device in the place you want to mount it.

2. At a system keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer’s Code].

3. Enter programming section [904].

4 Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device to be tested.

5. Activate the device being tested until a result is displayed on the keypad or

sounded by the keypad or bell. (Same as step 5 in the Global Placement

Test section, previous page.)

6. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 5. Continue to test

the devices until both the PC5132 and the devices are in good locations.

If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move

the PC5132 to a better location. (See section 2.2 for tips on finding a

location for the PC5132.)

7. To exit the placement test and installer programming, press [#] twice.

Testing Individual Wireless Keys:

You cannot use the individual device test described above to test WLS909-433/

WLS919-433 wireless keys. To ensure that the PC5132 receiver is receiving

transmissions from the devices, use the function keys on the Wireless Keys at

several different points in the installation.

5.2 Mount the PC5132 and Wireless Devices

When you have tested reception of the PC5132 with all the wireless devices (see

section 5.1) and you have a good mounting location, mount the PC5132:

1. Pull the Keybus wires through the hole at the bottom of the cabinet.

2. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall.

Mount the Devices

If you have conducted the placement test described in section 5.1 and got 3

“Good” results in a row for each device, you can mount the wireless devices. See

the

Installation Sheet

for each device for mounting instructions.

Now that your PC5132 and wireless devices are mounted and working properly,

read section 6 for information on potential wireless trouble conditions, RF jamming

signals, and battery replacement.

Additional Notes

6.1 Trouble Conditions

The control panel always watches for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble

condition occurs, the keypad “Trouble” light will turn on and the keypad will beep.

Press [✱][2] to display the trouble conditions.

The following trouble conditions apply to the PC5132 and/or any enrolled devices.

General System Tamper - This trouble is generated when the PC5132 plastic

cover is removed and/or if there is a jamming condition present.

General System Supervisory - This trouble will be indicated if the panel loses

communication with any module connected to the Keybus. The event buffer will

log a detailed description of the event.

Device Low Battery - This trouble is generated when a wireless device exhibits a

low battery condition. Press [7] one, two, or three times to view which devices

are experiencing battery failure. An LED keypad will indicate battery failure

using zone lights 1 to 8.

Zone Tamper - This trouble is generated when an enrolled wireless device is

removed from its mounting location.

Zone Fault - Each wireless zone will send a supervisory signal every 64

minutes. If the receiver does not receive a signal within the time

programmed for the Wireless Supervisory Window, it will generate a zone

fault.

Tamper Switches

There are two tamper switches on the PC5132 board. Removing both the plastic

cover and/or the PC5132 from its mounting location will cause a general system

tamper.

6.2 Jamming Signal Detection

The PC5132 receiver detects jamming signals that can prevent the receiver from

properly receiving transmissions from enrolled devices. See section 4.4 “Jamming

Signal Detection” for information on jamming signal detection programming.

6.3 Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission

Within any transmission, the device will indicate the status of the battery. If a battery

is low, the system will indicate a Device Low Battery trouble.

The system will delay reporting the event to the central station for the number of

days programmed for Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay in section [370].

This will prevent unnecessary reporting of the event if the user has been instructed

on how to replace batteries.

A D D I T I O N A L N O T E S

Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices

1. Remove the cover of the device from its back plate. This creates a tamper

condition on the zone.

2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the

Installation Sheet

of each

component. Be sure to note the proper orientation of the batteries as you

install them.

3. When the fresh batteries are in place, re-attach the cover to the back plate.

The tamper is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble restoral signal

to the PC5132. The battery trouble is now clear and the device should

function normally.

NOTE: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all de-

vices may need to be replaced at the same time.

S E C T I O N 7

Troubleshooting

1. When I enter the 2-digit zone number when adding a wireless

device, the keypad gives me a long beep.

You cannot enter ESNs unless a PC5132 wireless receiver is connected to the

Keybus. See section 2 for instructions on setting up and wiring the PC5132 module.

2. I have entered the ESN for the device but when I violate the

device, the zone does not show open on the keypad.

Check the following:

• Ensure the ESN has been entered correctly

• Ensure that the zone is enabled for the partition (if partition programming is

used).

• Ensure that the wireless zone is not assigned to a zone used by PC5108

modules, an on-board zone, or a keypad zone.

• Ensure that the zone is programmed for something other than “Null

Operation”, and that the wireless zone attribute is turned on.

3. When I try a module placement test I get no result or “Bad”

results.

Check the following (see sections 5.1 and 5.2 for more information on testing

devices):

• Verify that you are testing the correct zone

• Verify that the correct ESN was entered when the device was enrolled

• Verify that the device is in range of the PC5132. Try testing the device in

the same room as the receiver.

• Confirm that the PC5132 is properly connected to the Keybus (see section

2 for PC5132 set up and wiring instructions).

• Check that you are testing the zone correctly (see sections 5.1 and 5.2 for

testing instructions)

• Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.

• Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from

reaching the PC5132.

The device must be located where consistent “Good” results are obtained. If

several devices show “Bad” results, move the receiver. See section 2.2 for tips on

choosing a mounting location for the PC5132.

4. The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in

front of the unit.

The LED is for walk test purposes only. See your WLS904-433/WLS904P-433

Instruction Sheet

for walk test instructions.

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors

Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a greater or lesser

extent. Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities of smoke

precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. In existing homes, NFPA Standard 72 requires that a

smoke detector be installed outside each sleeping area and on each additional story of the family unit.

On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be

required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc.

Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULS-S553-M86 or other appropriate national

standards for installation recommendations.

Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these

locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.

Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around

the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.

Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.

Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38oC (100oF) or falls below 5oC

(41oF).

Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code.

Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with:

•Paragraph 2-2.1.1.1 of NFPA 72:

“Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate

sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family

living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new

construction, a smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room.”

•Paragraph 2-2.1.1.2 of NFPA 72:

“Split level arrangement. Smoke detectors are required where

shown. Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living room and

recreation room.”

S E C T I O N 9

The Smoke Detector is designed to use Eveready Energizer EN91 Alkaline Batteries.

Do not use other brands of batteries with the Smoke Detector. Using brands other

than the Eveready Energizer will void UL approval, and may affect the system’s operation.

WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact

with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning

to the attention of the users of this system.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.

There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other

types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm

system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to

operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these

reasons may be:

■■

■ Inadequate Installation

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide ad-

equate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security

professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered.

Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate

as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building mate-

rials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level

of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after

any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police depart-

ment is highly recommended if this service is available.

■■

■ Criminal Knowledge

This system contains security features which were known to be effective

at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent

to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features.

It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure

that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it

is found that it does not provide the protection expected.

■■

■ Access by Intruders

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent

a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuf-

ficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or

prevent the proper operation of the system.

■■

■ Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security

devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a

device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail.

Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good

condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power,

any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative

while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are

often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage elec-

tronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption

has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure

that the system operates as intended.

■■

■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide sev-

eral years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery

life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient

conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large

temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While

each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies

when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate

as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in

good operating condition.

■■

■ Compromise of Radio Frequency

(Wireless) Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could

include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-

ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

■■

■ System Users

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly

due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the

device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important

that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm

system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an

alarm.

■■

■ Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert

occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The

smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke

may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in

a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke

detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the

residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the

rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires

equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of

fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in

bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flam-

mable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing

with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be cir-

cumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants

to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

■■

■ Motion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas

as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot

discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion de-

tectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have mul-

tiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unob-

structed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion

which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass par-

titions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether in-

tentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of

any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the

detection system will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in

temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the

ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if

there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the

detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radia-

tors, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and

so on.

■■

■ Warning Devices

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not

warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening

wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of

the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will

be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be inter-

fered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televi-

sions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Au-

dible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hear-

ing-impaired person.

■ Telephone Lines

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of

service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut

the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means

which may be difficult to detect.

■■

■ Insufficient Time

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as in-

tended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emer-

gency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely

manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in

time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

■ Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reli-

able as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to

the failure of a component.

■■

■ Inadequate Testing

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating

as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The

complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a

break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an

accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the

premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads,

consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational de-

vices that are part of the system.

■ Security and Insurance

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for

property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute

for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently

to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situ-

ation.
