1. Switch off the main and back-up power supply of the
conventional fire alarm panel.
2. Open the enclosure box of the expander module and
mount it on the place of installation - see item 4.
3. Connect 45TRC100 module at the end of the
conventional zone line and at the end of sounders circuit
- see item 7.
4. Connect the external power supply unit to "PW"
terminals of the module.
5. Switch on the main and back-up power supply of the
conventional panel.
6. Switch on the external power supply unit of 45TRC100.
7. Mount the antenna and enroll wireless devices to
45TRC100 expander module - see item 11.
8. Program the wireless devices parameters according
the requirement of the fire installation - see item 14.
9. Close the enclosure box of the module. Set the
position of the antenna for best signal strength and
coverage - see item 4.
10. Check the signal strength of every wireless device
and test its operation in case of fire alarm condition - see
item 15.
11. Reset the conventional fire alarm panel after the
adding and testing of wireless devices is complete.
10. Access and Organization of
Programming Menus
The access to programming mode and setup menus
of 45TRC100 wireless expander module is limited for
support engineers and maintenance technicians only.
At normal operation mode, the screen of 45TRC100 is
switched off. Pressing any of the operation buttons will
activate the screen, as according the current state of
the expander module, COMELIT text or fault/warning
message will appear. To enter in programming mode,
you have to open the enclosure box and single press the
programming button on the control module's PCB - see
item 6, position 6.
The scrolling between available menus is realized with
UP/DOWN operation buttons. The confirmation of set
parameters is with ENTER button and rejecting and exit
from current menu - with CANCEL button - see item 8,
position 4.
The SETUP MENU includes the following main menus for
operation and settings:

11. Enrolling of Wireless Devices
45TRC100 wireless expander module supports operation
with Comelit series wireless devices. The enrolment
algorithm is common for all devices.
12
1. Prepare the device for enrolment. Remove the
mounting base to access the PCB with the batteries
compartment. The batteries of all new devices are
protected from activation with a folio strip.
Note: If the device is not new, you have to reset it before
enrolment to the expander module. To reset a device,
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 device flash 3 times in
green, followed from 1 long flash in red and 1 long flash
in green.
2. Enter in programming mode of the module. Select
menu 1. ADD DEVICE and press ENTER button. A list
with already enrolled devices is shown on the screen
with an order number and type of the device: 45RFU100
(optical-smoke detector), 45RCS100 (heat detector),
45RML100 (combined detector), 45PAM100 (manual call
point), 45SCI100 (sounder with strobe), 45IOM (input-
output module) - you can find detailed information about
the wireless devices in their installation manuals.
3. Scroll down to find a free address to enroll the device.
The 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 wireless device - remove the protective
folio from the batteries of new devices - and single press
the ENROLL button. The LEDs of the device start flashing
in red.
6. In case of successful enrolment, the LEDs of the
device flash 3 times in green, the message DONE
appears on the screen and then the module automatically
moves to the next free address in the list. The enrolled
wireless device is added to the list with its specific type.
7. Test the signal strength between the wireless device
and the expander module. Single press the ENROLL
button of the device 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; it is obligatory to
change the place of installation.
You can also check the signal quality for the device in 5.
DEVICE RSSI menu - see item 15.

8. If the signal quality and strength are excellent or good,
mount the device at installation place*.

This is a menu for checking the RF signal quality between
wireless devices and expander module. The signal quality
is assessed in [dB] as it can be measured and displaced
