ENROLL button. The operation LED on the PCB starts
flashing in red.
6. In case of successful enrolment, the operation LED
flashes 3 times in green and message DONE appears
for a while on the screen of the module. The call point is
added to the list as 45PAM100 type.
7. Test the signal strength between the call point and the
expander module. Single press the ENROLL button and
wait for the LED 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 8.
8. If the signal quality and strength are excellent or good,
you can proceed with mounting.
9. Disable the operation of the call point from the
module's menu DEVICE SETUP (expander module
45TRC100 to conventional fire alarm panel); or
addressable panel's menus (expander module 45TRA100
to addressable fire alarm panel). Thus, you will avoid the
false alarms during mounting.
10. Disassemble the call point and mount it to the
installation place – see item 3.
11. Reset the frangible element to normal position in
stand-by mode and enable the operation of the call point.

condition. It is recommended to change it with a brand
new.
To reset the 45PAM100, power it on with the battery
and after that press and hold ENROLL button for 5-7
seconds. The reset is complete when the operation LED
on the PCB of the call point flashes 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.
8. Checking the Signal Quality (RSSI)
The quality of the signal between the call point 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 call point 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.
9. Finding the Call Point 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 call point 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.

the +/- polarity.
4. Assemble the call point elements back in place.
5. Reset the frangible element.
6. Enable the call point operation.
7. Check the signal quality in DEVICE RSSI menu of the
expander module.
8. Test the call point 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.
