6. Enrolling to Expander Module
1. Remove the wireless fire base to access the PCB with the
batteries compartment. If the device is not new, perform reset
as described in item 8.
2. Enter in programming mode of the Comelit expander
module. Select ADD DEVICE menu and press ENTER button.
A list with already enrolled devices is shown on the screen
with an order number and type of the device.
3. Scroll down to find a free address to enroll the detector.
Every free address is labeled as EMPTY.
4. Press ENTER button. Message SEARCHING >>> (arrows
are blinking) appears on the screen showing that the module is
scanning for signals from wireless device in its covering range.
Note: If there is no signal from the device in 2-minute period,
the expander module will exit automatically the programming
mode.
5. Power on the detector - remove the protective folio from the
batteries if it is new - and single press the ENROLL button.
The LEDs start flashing in red.
6. In case of successful enrolment, the LEDs flash 3 times in
green and message DONE appears for a while on the screen
of the module. The detector is added to the list as 45RFU100
type.
7. Test the signal strength between the detector and the
expander module. Single press the ENROLL button and wait
for the LEDs indication:
- 3 flashes in green - excellent signal strength;
- 3 flashes in orange - good signal strength, but, if possible,
change the place of installation;
- 3 flashes in red - poor signal strength and it is obligatory to
change the place of installation.
You can also check the signal quality for the device in DEVICE
RSSI menu of the module - item 9.
8. If the signal quality and strength are excellent or good, you
can proceed with mounting.
9. Use appropriate fixing elements to mount the wireless fire
base to the place of installation. Follow the instructions in item
3 to lock the detector to the fire base if this is needed.
10. Place the detector in the base and rotate until the short
marks of both sides coincide. Continue to rotate the detector
until the long mark of the base and the mark on the detector
coincide - a click is heard.
11. Test the detector for proper operation.
7. Test of the Fire Detector
Start testing procedure for the fire zone to which the detector
is associated - follow the given instructions in the operation
manual of the addressable/conventional fire alarm control
panel. Exert influence on the fire detector by smoke generator
(Aerosol Dispenser) or by aerosol simulator of smoke to test
the optical part. After short period the detector enters in test
fire alarm mode - LEDs start blinking in red. The built-in busser
is not activated. Reset the fire alarm control panel and exit the
zone test mode.
8. Reset of the Detector
If the detector is not new, you have to reset it before enrolment
to the expander module. Check the batteries condition. It is
recommended to change all of them with a brand new.
To reset the 45RFU100, power it on with the batteries and
after that press and hold ENROLL button for 5-7 seconds.
The reset is complete when the LEDs of the detector flash 3
times in green, followed from 1 long flash in red and 1 long
flash in green. Next pressing of ENROLL button will start the
enrolment procedure to expander module.
9. Checking the Signal Quality (RSSI)
The quality of the signal between the detector and the
expander module is checked at DEVICE RSSI menu of the
module. The signal quality is assessed in [dB].
1. Enter in programming mode of the module. Scroll to menu
DEVICE RSSI and press ENTER button. A list with present
enrolled devices is shown on the screen with an order number
and type of the device.
2. Find in the list the detector number.
3. Press ENTER button. Refer to the table below to read the
signal quality on the screen:
SIGNAL QUALITY LEVEL RSSI
< -90 dB Loss
-90 ÷ -70 dB Good
> -70 dB Excellent
4. You can exit the menu at any time with pressing CANCEL
button.
10. Finding the Detector Installation Place
This is a procedure that helps the engineer to find the exact
location of every wireless device in the fire installation and test
the connection with module.
1. Enter in programming mode of the module. Scroll to menu
FIND DEVICE and press ENTER button. A list with present
enrolled devices is shown on the screen with an order number
and type of the device.
2. Find in the list the detector number which you want to
locate in the fire installation.
3. Press ENTER button. Message FINDING >>> (arrows are
blinking) appears on the screen showing that the module is
scanning for signals from the selected wireless device. The
message will change for a while to FINDING DONE in case of
success.
4. The detector will respond with blinking in orange LEDs and
short sound signals from the built-in buzzer.
5. The module will exit automatically the finding procedure
after 70-80 seconds. You can also stop the procedure at any
time with pressing CANCEL button.
11. Replacing Batteries
It is recommended to change the batteries after 10 years
of operation regardless of their indicated discharge level.
Always use only batteries approved by the manufacturer -
Panasonic CR123A 3V or other with similar characteristics.
Attention: After indication from the panel/expander module
for low battery of a device, the user/ installer must replace
the discharged batteries with new within one month. The
remaining shelf time of the new batteries must not be less
than 8 years.
1. Disable the detector operation to avoid fault messages.
2. Disassemble the detector as described in item 3.
3. Remove the old batteries and place the new as observe the
+/- polarity.
4. Assemble the detector back in place.
5. Enable the detector operation.
6. Check the signal quality in DEVICE RSSI menu of the
expander module.
7. Test the detector operability.
CAUTION: Do not expose used batteries to fire, hot ovens,
or mechanical crushing/cutting as this can result in an
explosion. Exposing batteries to extremely high environmental
temperatures or low air pressure can result in explosion or the
leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
DISPOSAL: Follow local regulations regarding disposal of the
batteries.
DESCRIPTION
