Global Placement Testing Devices
Conduct placement testing with doors and windows both open and closed to ensure acceptable
placement. To placement test a 1-way wireless device after the initial Enroll/Placement test process:
1. Place the alarm panel into individual placement test mode for the WS8920 zone (see control
panel installation instructions).
2. Press and hold Programming button for 1 second. "Mode Entered" tone (1 long beep) sounds.
WS8920 is now in global placement test mode. Each zone enrolled on WS8920 gives placement
test result when tripped.
• If "Good Zone Placement" tone (1 beep) sounds, device location is satisfactory and unit may be
permanently mounted.
• If "Bad Zone Placement" (3 loud beeps) tone sounds, reposition device and trip zone again.
Continue until "Good Zone Placement" tone (1 beep) sounds.
3. To exit, press Programming button again for 1 second or place cover back on the WS8920.
"Mode Exited" (3 beeps) tone sounds.
Step 7: Mounting the WS8920
Permanently mount the WS8920 only after completing multiple successful placement tests.
To mount the WS8920:
1. Ensure AC wire is run through channel on back of WS8920.
2. Remove front cover and secure unit to wall through mounting holes using all 4 wall plugs and
screws provided.
3. Place cover back on WS8920.
4. Plug AC adaptor into unswitched AC outlet.
Restoring the WS8920 to Factory Defaults
To restore factory default settings:
1. Within 1 minute of power up, press and hold Programming button for 10 seconds. Sounder
beeps after first second to indicate WS8920 is in Installer mode. After 10 seconds, WS8920
emits double long tone and all LEDs light.
2. Release Programming button and immediately press and hold again for 10 seconds. After 10
seconds, WS8920 emits a 4-second tone and all three LEDs flash.
NOTE: The second button press must occur within 20 seconds of the first or the WS8920 will exit
Enroll/Placement mode.
3. WS8920 beeps three times and LEDs return to normal state, indicating Installer mode exit. If
Installer mode exits before reset is complete, due either to time-out or tamper, repeat procedure.
