Section 5: Testing & Mounting
5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices
It is very important to test the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is mounted.
Following these steps will test the signal strength between the RF5108-433 and the wireless
devices.
You can test all of the devices together (global placement testing) or test each device
individually. To test all the devices together, see
Testing All Wireless Devices Together
. To test
wireless devices individually, see
Testing Individual Devices
.
Testing All Wireless Devices Together:
1. Temporarily put the wireless devices in the places you want to mount them.
2. At a system keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer’s Code].
3. Enable the Global Module Placement test by entering section [804]. Then enter
sub-section [90] and turn on option [8].
4. Press [#] twice.
5. Enter programming section [904], then enter [01].
6. Activate one of the devices being tested until a result is displayed on the keypad
or sounded by the keypad or bell:
WLS904-433/WLS904PL-433/WLS914-433:
To perform a Placement Test on one of
these devices, remove the detector from the backplate 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.
Carefully replace the backplate onto the detector, ensuring Carefully replace the backplate onto the detector, ensuring

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 transmission 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.
WLS912L-433:
Press and hold the test mode tab for 5 seconds. Release the test
mode tab.

Good Light 1 On Steady “Good” 1 Beep/Squawk
Bad Light 3 On Steady “Bad” 3 Beeps/Squawks
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 beginning to
test the next device.
Continue to test the devices until both the RF5108-433 and the devices are in good
locations. If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move the
RF5108-433 to a better location (see section 2.2 for more information).
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. Enable Individual Module Placement test by entering section [804]. Then enter sub-
section [90] and turn off option [8].
4. 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 RF5108-433 receiver is receiving transmissions from
the devices, use the function keys on the Wireless Keys at several different points in the
installation. If the wireless key does operate from all intended points of operation, you will
need to move the RF5108-433 receiver. Moving the RF5108-433 higher will usually
improve the reception. If you move the RF5108-433, you will need to repeat the tests
described in Section 5.1 on all the wireless devices.
5.2 Mount the RF5108-433 and Wireless Devices
When you have tested reception of the RF5108-433 with all the wireless devices (see
section 5.1) and you have a good mounting location, mount the RF5108-433:
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 three “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 RF5108-433 and wireless devices are mounted and working properly, read
section 6 for information on potential wireless trouble conditions, RF jamming signals, and
battery replacement.
T E S T I N G & M O U N T I N G

Section 6: 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 RF5108-433 and/or any enrolled devices.
General System Tamper - This trouble is generated when the RF5108-433 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 at a fixed time interval (64
minutes for NA, 12 minutes for EU). 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 2 tamper switches on the RF5108-433 NA board. Removing the plastic cover
and/or the RF5108-433NA from its mounting location causes a general system tamper.
6.2 Jamming Signal Detection
The RF5108-433 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.
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
RF5108-433. 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 devices may
need to be replaced at the same time.
T E S T I N G & M O U N T I N G

Section 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 RF5108-433 wireless receiver is connected to the
Keybus. See section 2 for instructions on setting up and wiring the RF5108-433 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 RF5108-433. Try testing the device in the same
room as the receiver.
• Confirm that the RF5108-433 is properly connected to the Keybus (see section 2 for
RF5108-433 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
RF5108-433.
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 RF5108-433.
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.”
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 emer-
gencies 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 adequate
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 materials must be of sufficient strength
and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevalua-
tion must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation
by the fire and/or police department 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 insufficient
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 in-
stalled 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 electronic 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 several
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 mainte-
nance 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 jamming 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 flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, chil-
dren playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances
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 detectors do not provide volumet-
ric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can
only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot
detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass
partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
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 uninten-
tional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources
could be heaters, radiators, 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 interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios,
televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible
warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-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 intended, yet
the occupants will not be protected from the emergency 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 belong-
ings.
■■
■■
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable 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 devices
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 situation.
