Installation guide

Mounting the DetectorOnce you have found a location that is within rangeof the receiver, you can mount the WLS912L. 1. Remove the mounting plate from the detector.2. At the selected mounting location, place the mounting plate on the wall (with the tab facing down, or to the right), or on the ceiling. Mark the screw locations. Wall anchors should be used for all screw locations. 3. Secure the backplate to the wall.4. Slide the detector onto its backplate.5. Repeat the installation test using the AFT–100 tester to confirm proper operation.FCC Compliance StatementCAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls Ltd. could void your authority to use this equipment.This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart “B” of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in any residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to tele-vision or radio reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Re-orient the receiving antenna• Relocate the alarm control with respect to the receiver• Move the alarm control away from the receiver• Connect the alarm control into a different outlet so that alarm control and receiver are on different circuits.If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Equipped with an RF transmit-ter, the WLS912L establishes a supervised, one–way communications link with thesystem controller.The WLS912L uses Dynamic Signal Processing* to provide accurate detection ofplate, laminated, wired and tempered glass types, while rejecting common falsealarm sounds.*Protected under US Patent 5,675,320SpecificationsOperating Voltage ................. 3.0V (two 3V Lithium EL123AP Batteries)Operating Temperature.......... 0o C - 50oC (32o F- 122oF)Operating Humidity ............... 5% – 95% RH, non-condensingMaximum detection rangeBattery Guidelines and Installation• Use fresh batteries. Most batteries have a “best before” date printed on their packaging or on the batteries themselves. Buy batteries that have a “best before” date of two years or more from your purchase date• When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions and precautions printed on the batteries. Many cities and communities have collection sites or services for used household batteries. Contact your municipal offices for information on the disposal of used batteries• Do not mix old and new batteriesNOTE: Use only Energizer Lithium EL123AP batteries.To install batteries:1. Remove the detector from its mounting plate: If unmounted, hold the detector by its sides and push down on the top end of the mounting plate, as shown at right.If mounted, press the detector in the direction shown below.Glass Type Thickness Minimum Glass Size (L X W)Level 1 Setting Level 2 SettingPlate/Tempered1/8" – 1/4"3 – 6mm12" X 12"30cm X 30cm20ft6m10ft3mWired/Laminated1/4"6mm18"X18"46cmX46cm20ft6mDO NOT USE
2. Install the batteries positive (+) side first, with the correct polarity, as shown below. Setting the Dip SwitchesThe detector has user-selectable dip switch settings asshown.Dip Switch 1– Not UsedDip Switch 2– Level 1/Level 2 DetectionThis is a sensitivity selection dip switch which may beused to optimize false alarm immunity for certainacoustic environments. The detector is factory set for Level 1 detection (DipSwitch 2 = OFF). This is the highest sensitivity setting for the detector, and will besuitable for most applications.For rooms which are smaller, and contain a significant number of sound-reflectivesurfaces (such as bathrooms, kitchens, entrances, etc.), Level 2 detection (DipSwitch 2=ON) provides a reduced sensitivity setting which may be more appropri-ate.Selecting a Mounting LocationThe detector is omnidirectional, providing 360 degree coverage. Coverage ismeasured from the center of the detector to the point on the glass farthest fromthe detector.Guidelines for optimizing detection and avoiding false alarms• For optimum protection, the detector should have a direct line of sight to the protected glass.• Window coverings will absorb sound from the shattering glass. In these cases, mount the detector as close as possible to the protected glass, either on an adjacent wall, the ceiling, or behind the window covering if possible. • The detector should be mounted at least 1.8m (6 feet) off the ground.• Do not mount the detector on the same wall as the protected glass.• Avoid installation near noise sources, such as speakers or other objects which produce sounds continuously.• Do not install the detector beyond the maximum recommended range, even if the AFT–100 simulator shows additional range - future changes in room acoustics could reduce the range.• Application on 24 hour loops should be avoided unless the location is unoccupied.• Test false alarm immunity by creating any sounds in the room which will likely occur when the alarm system is armed.Note: Test the detector thoroughly for proper placement using the AFT-100Glassbreak Simulator. Other simulators may trip the unit, but will not pro-vide accurate test results.Testing the detectorPerform the following tests with each WLS912L detector to ensure that it ismounted in the best possible location.Detection Test:1. Place the detector in test mode by momentarily pressing down on the tab on the base plate, as shown. The LED will blink periodically to indicate that it is operating in test mode. You can end the test mode by momentarily pressing the tab on the base plate. Test mode will end automatically after 10 minutes.2. Use double-sided tape to temporarily mount the detector in the selected locationNote: The detector will not respond to the glassbreak simulator unless thetest mode operation has been enabled by momentarily pressing down onthe test mode tab on the base plate.3. At the window to be protected, test the detector using the AFT–100 Glassbreak Simulator. The AFT–100 Glassbreak Simulator generates plate or tempered glass sounds. Use the plate glass setting if you are unsure of the glass type. Observe the following when testing the detector:• If the WLS912L detects the sound generated by the AFT-100 three times in a row, the detector is in a good location. If the detector does not respond each time, relocate the detector and repeat the test.• If the windows in question are covered by drapes or blinds, place the AFT-100 tester behind the closed window coverings, and then activate it. If the drapes prevent reliable detection, we suggest that the detector be mounted behind the drapes either on an adjacent wall or on the ceiling.• If there are multiple windows, or one large window, activate the tester at the furthest point on the glass from the detector.Receiver Test:You also need to perform a Module Placement Test to ensure that the selectedlocation is in range of the wireless receiver (see the Placement Test instructions inthe installation instructions for your receiver).1. Press and hold the test mode tab for 5 seconds2. Release the test mode tab. The keypad will display the test result.Enrolling the WLS912LOn the back of the detector, there will be two serial numbers: a five-digit numberand a six-digit number. Please refer to your receiver installation manual for infor-mation on which serial number should be enrolled. NOTE: If using a WLS900 system, you must use the five-digit serial number.
