(caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materi-
als, etc.). Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detec-
tors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life. IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a devel-
oping fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its abil-
ity to report a fire. Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speakers and displays may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note that:
An emergency communication system may take priority over Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm systemtypically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notifi-
cation capabilitycan provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. An emergency communication systemtypically made up of an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety communication system that may include an autonomous control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice commu-
nication, and other various interoperable communication meth-
odscan broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event. The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premises following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire. Particles of combustion or smoke from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chim-
neys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke flow. a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm sig-
nals. In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. bility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

A life safety system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly. Equipment used in the system may not be technically compat-
ible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a prem-
ises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or tem-
porarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended. The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA stan-
dards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be fol-
lowed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be per-
formed by authorized professional life saftety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept. Limit-D-1-2013 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 The amount of smoke present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at var-
ious levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not cre-
ated by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm. Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing cham-
bers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire. Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warn-
ing of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches
(especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions 2 Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associ-
ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-
ing cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and understood. CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any pro-
gramming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-
acceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All compo-
nents, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified. This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49 C/32-120 F and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (non-
condensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic com-
ponents may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27 C/60-80 F. Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi-
cating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage. Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to light-
ning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Ser-
vices Department if any problems are anticipated or encoun-
tered. Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits. Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifi-
cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-
former, or printed circuit board location. Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-
tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before han-
dling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit. Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 13 W-GATE 2.5 Mounting & Wiring 2.5.1 Mounting Mounting & Wiring The W-GATE has two major pieces, the cover and the mounting plate. The mounting plate is mounted to the wall or ceiling, and field wiring is connected to it. The cover contains the PC board and is fastened to the mounting plate once the wiring is connected. Mount the mounting plate directly to an electrical box on the ceiling or wall. The plate mounts directly to 4 square (with and without plaster ring), 4 octagon, 3 1/2octagon, single gang or dou-
ble gang junction boxes. If an electrical box is not available, the mounting plate can be mounted to any flat surface and the wiring can be connected via the knockout points in the mounting plate. To mount the W-GATE, do the following:
1. Pull the wiring through the opening in the mounting plate. 2. Mount the mounting plate to the junction box or ceiling. See figure 2.2. 3. Connect field wiring to the terminals, as described in section 2.5.2, "Wiring". 4. Connect necessary jumpers where applicable, as described in section 2.5.3, "W-GATE Powered from SLC". 5. To mount the cover, align the locating pins on the cover to the corresponding slots in the mounting plate. See Figure 2.3, "Cover Attaching to Mounting Plate". 6. Secure the cover by tightening the mounting screws.

It is recommended to use the same wire gauge if there are multiple connections to the The W-GATE provides isolation of short circuits on the SLC in class A installations, that use the A6 and A7 connections as an in and out connection. A5 is common for SLC wiring that enters and leaves. Class B wiring that terminates at the W-GATE can use either the A6 or A7 connection for the SLC positive. SLC connections are power limited by the panel. An interruption in the SLC that causes a loss of power at the W-GATE for more than 100ms may result in a trouble condition and loss of fire protection provided by the wireless devices for up to 15 minutes. Using an external 24V power source (not SLC power) is recommended for installations that require fire protection in the presence of short circuits, including class A applications and applications that utilize isolator mod-
ules.

1. Create a profile - A profile is a set of parameters that binds together a W-GATE and the devices in a mesh network. 2. Distribute the profile to every device that will be a part of the mesh. 3. Form the mesh - The mesh cannot be formed until the profile is assigned to the W-GATE. The profile contains a mesh ID and, if required, a password, that are used when forming the associations. Creating and distributing the profile will enable all the devices that have that profile to form associative links when the mesh is formed. All devices, including the W-GATE, require a common profile. This section shows how to configure/program an W-GATE with a profile, how to distribute that profile to other devices, and how to form all these devices into a mesh. These processes may be per-
formed with or without using PC-based configuration tool. 2.6.1 Without a PC-based Configuration Tool Create a new profile using the W-GATE Assign a previously created profile to the W-GATE using a distributor. This section shows the configuration of the W-GATE using only a magnet and a screw driver. For configuration instructions using the PC-based configuration tool, refer to 2.6.2, "With a PC-based Configuration Tool". There are two ways to provide a W-GATE with a profile without using a configuration tool. Create a New Profile To create a unique profile in the W-GATE without using the PC-based configuration tool, perform the following steps. 1. Start with the device powered off. The process is performed during the start-up. 2. Power on the W-GATE using SLC power or external +24V. This can be done either by attaching the W-GATE to its mounting plate with the terminals already energized, or by connecting the SLC or external source wiring to a W-GATE that is already installed in its mounting plate. 3. Verify if the W-GATE is in the factory default state; if it is in the factory default state, both the LEDs on the W-GATE flash red (double blink) every second for ten seconds. If the LEDs are yellow, refer to section below on removing a profile. Figure 2.7 W-GATE with LEDs and Magnetic sensors PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 19 W-GATE Configuration and Programming 4. Activate either magnetic sensor with a magnet within ten secoands of starting up the W-GATE while the double red blink is active in the W-GATE. (If you miss this ten-second window, power down the W-GATE and repeat step 1). The LED next to the magnetic sensor emits a red light for one second when it is activated. When the profile is successfully created, the LEDs on the W-GATE emit green light for five sec-
onds (Refer to 2.7.2, "Magnet Sensor Activations" for further information on activating magnetic sensors). A default profile has been created, containing a mesh ID, and a password. The default password is 12345 and is needed if the W-GATE is locked by the FACP and later accessed by the PC-based configuration tool. Assign a Previously Created Profile Using a Distributor To assign an existing profile to the W-GATE (as you would do during a replacement), use the W-
GATE that has the profile, or a device in the mesh that contains the profile, to distribute that profile to the W-GATE that requires it. Perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the W-GATE or other mesh device with the profile is set for distribution (Refer to 2.6.3, "Profile Distribution"" or 4.6.2, "Distributor Mode"). 2. Start with the device powered off. The process is performed during the start-up. 3. Power on the W-GATE and ensure it is in the factory default state (Refer to steps 1 and 2 in the above topic, "Create a New Profile"). 4. Bring the profile distributor within 20 feet of the W-GATE. 5. Wait until the W-GATE blinks only a single red blink (ten seconds after startup). 6. Use a magnet to activate either of the magnetic sensors. The LED blinks a single red every half-second indicating that it is searching for a profile. When the profile is successfully received from the distributor, the LEDs on the W-GATE emit green light for five seconds. If the profile is rejected, the W-GATE LEDs emit red light for five sec-
onds. Removing a Profile To remove the profile from a W-GATE, perform the following steps:
1. Start with the device powered off. The process is performed during the start-up. 2. Power on the W-GATE using SLC power or external +24V. This can be done either by attaching the W-GATE to its mounting plate with the terminals already energized, or by connecting the SLC or external source wiring to a W-GATE that is already installed in its mounting plate. 3. Verify the W-GATE is in the profile modification state; if it is in the profile modification state, both the LEDs on the W-GATE flash yellow (double blink) every second for ten seconds. 4. Activate both the magnetic sensors within ten seconds of starting up the W-GATE (while the double yellow blink is active on the W-GATE) or repeat step 1 (If you miss the ten second window, power down the W-GATE and repeat steps 1 and 2). The W-GATE LEDs blink green every second for five seconds indicating that the profile is removed. Create Mesh Network Mesh formation forms a wireless communication mesh around the W-GATE. The W-GATE com-
municates with all devices in range that have a common profile and establishes communication links with all the devices. Once a device joins the mesh, it acts as a repeater for devices out of the range of the W-GATE. All devices must be in their final mounting locations prior to initiating the mesh formation. The mesh formation is initiated and terminated by the W-GATE. To form a mesh network, ensure that the W-GATE is powered on and contains a profile. (Refer to 2.7.3, "LED Indications" for information on how the W-GATE indicates its status). Activate the Mesh Formation magnet switch on the W-GATE with a magnet. 20 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Configuration and Programming W-GATE Figure 2.8 Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor on a W-GATE The W-GATE transitions to the mesh for-
mation mode and establishes communica-
tion with all the devices containing a common profile. The blink pattern in W-
GATE indicates that it is in mesh forma-
tion mode. At this stage, both the LEDs on the W-
GATE blinks twice every 3.4 seconds. The first blink is green and the second blink is red when the W-GATE is acting as a profile distributor and forming the mesh. The first blink is green and the second blink is yellow when the W-GATE is only forming the mesh. Mesh formation typically takes one minute for each device in the mesh. Mesh formation automati-
cally terminates 10 minutes after the last device joins the mesh. The mesh formation can be termi-
nated manually by the user by activating the mesh formation magnetic sensor again. Once the mesh formation is complete, the network transitions to optimize the mesh. For further operating instructions, refer to 2.7, "Operations". 2.6.2 With a PC-based Configuration Tool Assign Profile with PC Tools To assign a profile to the W-GATE using the PC Tools application, do the following:
1. Connect the W-USB dongle device to your computer. For more information on USB dongle, refer to Section 5:, "USB Adapter". 2. Launch the PC Tools application. Refer to Appendix B:, "PC tools" to know about launching the PC Tools application. 3. Go to the Create Mesh Network step. 4. Create a new profile or import an existing profile as required. 5. Select and open the profile to be assigned to the W-GATE from the Name drop-down list in the left panel. 6. Power on the W-GATE in range of the PC Tools.

The Reset Devices screen appears, displaying the W-
GATE and other devices that have a profile assigned. 5. Click to select the W-GATE and click Reset Device to remove the profile. The profile is removed and the W-GATE is reset to factory default state. 22 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Configuration and Programming W-GATE Mesh Formation with PC Tools To create a mesh network using the PC Tools, perform the following steps. 1. Connect the W-USB dongle device to your computer. For more information on USB dongle, refer to Section 5:, "USB Adapter". 2. Launch the PC tools application. Refer to Appendix B:, "PC tools" to know about launching the PC tools application. 3. Go to Create Mesh Network step. 4. Navigate to the second step of Create Mesh Network by clicking on top of the screen. 5. Click to select the W-GATE displayed in the Gateways in Range table, and click 'Start Mesh Formation'. When the mesh is formed, the tool helps you to track the number of devices that have joined the mesh, and view the progress. The mesh formation terminates 10 minutes after the last device joins the mesh. In addition, it can be terminated by the user by clicking Stop Mesh Formation. Once mesh formation is complete, the network transitions to optimize the mesh. For further operat-
ing instructions, refer to 2.7, "Operations". 2.6.3 Profile Distribution Automatically after creating a profile, Activating the profile creating magnetic sensor when it has a profile. There are two ways to initiate profile distribution from the W-GATE. After Creating a Profile Profile distribution is automatically enabled from the W-GATE after creating a profile. The profile distribution automatically terminates after 10 minutes. Activating the Profile Magnetic Sensor When it has a Profile Activating the profile magnetic sensor while it has profile will put the W-GATE in a mode of distributing the profile to any device that requests a profile. The W-GATEs LED pattern will be altered when it is distributing a profile for easy identification. Profile distribution will automatically terminate after 10 minutes. For more information on W-GATE LED patterns, refer to the table in 2.7.3, "LED Indications".

Is a LiteSpeed only device. CLIP mode is not supported. FACPs have limited support for displaying all troubles from the wireless device, and requires the use of an ANN-80 for event details. Refer to the appropriate section below for configuration steps. Type Code Label: Monitor Three consecutive SLC addresses are used for a W-GATE. Set the base address using the rotary dials on the W-GATE prior to installation. Ensure the address and the next two addresses on the SLC loop are available. The base address uses the following configuration parameters:
Module Type: Monitor The W-GATE does not cause any alarms at this address, but the point is used for supervision of the W-GATE. The base address +1 uses the following configuration parameters:
Module Type: Monitor This address is a latching supervisory condition that goes active whenever a wireless detector in the mesh is removed from its base or a module has its cover plate removed (tamper). This point does not show the address of the tampered device. The ANN-80 displays the device address information. The base address +2 uses the following configuration parameters:
Module Type: Monitor This address is a tracking trouble condition that goes active whenever a wireless device in the mesh is in a trouble condition. Refer to 3.9.4, "Event Messaging"for the message displayed at the ANN-
80 for the trouble event. The specific address and trouble condition is displayed on the ANN-80. Type Code Label: Trouble Mon Type Code Label: Tamper 24 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Operations 2.7 Operations 2.7.1 W-GATE Modes of Operation W-GATE Figure 2.10 W-GATE Modes Of Operation Start Up Startup is a temporary mode of operation. It is during the startup mode, that a profile can be created or removed. The startup period lasts for 10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs blink yellow twice every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the LEDs blink red twice every second. During startup, the W-GATE does not provide fire protection. After startup, the W-GATE proceeds to the factory default state if a profile was removed or miss-
ing. In the presence of a profile, the W-GATE will proceed to mesh formation if it was previously part of a mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh network. The W-GATE does not respond to the panel during startup. All the three SLC addresses will be an INVALID REPLY. Factory Default Factory default is the initial state of the W-GATE. The W-GATE and peripheral devices do not pro-
vide any fire protection when they are in factory default mode. The W-GATE does not communi-
cate with wireless devices. The only wireless communication is with the configuration tool. The configuration tool needs to be within 20 feet of the W-GATE for communication. The W-GATE needs to be assigned a profile before continuing the installation. The W-GATE reports Factory Default to the communicator display of the PC Tools application. The W-GATEs base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base address + 2) will indicate open circuit. Profile Configured The W-GATE enters the profile configured mode after getting assigned a profile from the tool or a distributor or creating a profile. Profile configured is a temporary mode before the W-GATE transi-
tions to mesh formation or normal mode. The W-GATE does not provide fire protection in the profile configured mode. The W-GATE reports Profile Assigned to the communicator display of the PC Tools application. The W-GATEs base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base address + 2) will indicate open circuit. PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 25 W-GATE Operations Mesh Formation The W-GATE must have a profile before entering mesh formation. The W-GATE and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire protection in mesh formation. The W-GATE automatically enters mesh formation in the following ways:
After creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor. After activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the W-GATE contains a profile. Automatically after startup when the W-GATE previously was part of a mesh By command from the PC Tools application A W-GATE in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh for-
mation. The W-GATE and all communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the same profile to join the network. If the W-GATE automatically entered mesh formation after startup, then mesh formation terminates after all existing devices are recovered. If new devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh formation terminates after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh formation can be terminated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again, or by using the PC Tools application. The W-GATE reports Mesh Formation to the communicator display of the PC Tools application. The W-GATEs base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base address + 2) will indicate open circuit. Initial Mesh Optimization The initial mesh optimization mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The W-GATE and peripheral devices do not provide fire protection during the initial mesh optimization. Mesh optimization analyzes the signal strengths between devices. The W-GATE designates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all trans-
missions. Mesh Optimization terminates automatically once all devices have a redundant commu-
nication path and signal strengths that meet the requirements of primary and secondary transmission paths. Any device that does not have a redundant path or meet the requirements for signal strength will report a fault. The W-GATE reports Optimization to the communicator display of the PC tools application. The W-GATEs base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base address + 2) will indicate open circuit. Normal Mode Normal mode can be described as a standard operating state. The mesh network is formed, provid-
ing fire protection. The mesh network continuously searches for additional devices with a match-
ing profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh network periodically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The W-GATE reports Normal to the communica-
tor display of the PC Tools application. Rescue Mode During normal mode, when a device loses communication to the network, the W-GATE triggers rescue mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode, but also searches for a lost or added device. The rescue mode termi-
nates automatically 6 minutes after the last device is rescued and returns to the normal mode. The W-GATE reports Rescue to the communicator display of the PC Tools application. 26 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Operations W-GATE Mesh Optimization In addition to the initial mesh optimization, the routine executes after any restoration of communi-
cation to a device or to recover from a link failure (class A fault). Mesh optimization that occurs during the normal mode does not generate a trouble and provides fire protection from all devices that are participating in the mesh communication. The W-GATE reports Optimization to the com-
municator display of the PC Tools application. Bootloader The W-GATE enters the bootloader mode when it is being updated using the PC Tools application. The W-GATE does not communicate with the FACP during bootloader mode. The W-GATE reports Bootloader to the communicator display of the PC Tools application. 2.7.2 Magnet Sensor Activations Profile Magnetic Sensor The profile magnetic sensor (Figure 2.9, "Profile Magnetic Sensor on a W-GATE") is used to create a unique profile on startup. It can also be used to start profile distribution for a W-GATE that con-
tains a profile. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor emits solid red light for a second when the sensor is activated. Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor The mesh formation magnetic sensor (Figure 2.8, "Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor on a W-
GATE") toggles the W-GATE, in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activation of the sen-
sor puts the W-GATE in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent acti-
vation of the magnetic sensor toggles the W-GATE out of mesh formation and into the initial mesh optimization and normal mode. The W-GATE can be placed back into mesh formation by activat-
ing the magnet sensor once again. The Mesh formation magnetic sensor can also be used to create a profile on startup for a W-GATE that does not already contain a profile. The LED next to the mesh formation magnetic sensor emits solid red light for a second when the sensor is activated. 2.7.3 LED Indications The two LEDs on the W-GATE blink in the same pattern to allow the LED to be viewed from any angle.

To estab-
lish the link between devices as a viable communication path, the signal strengths must meet the limits provided in 2.3, "Specifications". The Wireless Sensor Network implements a higher thresh-
old for primary connections to provide an extra layer of robustness and immunity from interfer-
ence. A weak link trouble condition is initiated for any device that does not have at least one connection at the primary threshold. This is an optional setting that can be disabled to ignore the weak link trouble condition. The trouble can be disabled at the W-GATE.

less Sensor Network systems. Honeywell has established a limit of 4 overlapping networks to avoid congestion in the RF spectrum. If the limit of overlapping systems is exceeded, a system trouble will be generated for the system that detects 4 or more adjacent networks. To resolve this situation, the instances of overlap need to be removed. Refer to Appendix C:, "Troubleshooting and Testing"for suggestions on removing overlap between wireless networks. The trouble will be self restoring up to 36 hours after the condition is resolved. To expedite the trouble resolution, tog-
gle the network that is reporting the trouble in and out of mesh formation mode. 2.7.9 Avoiding RF Interference The Firelite wireless mesh network uses radio frequency hopping spread spectrum technology to communicate in the 900 MHz ISM band (902MHz to 928MHz). Other commercial and industrial products also operate in this band. If two-way radios or other wireless communication devices are used during the installation process it is recommended that they be kept at least 4 feet away fromthe Firelite wireless devices or that they operate on a different frequency band to ensure rapid mesh formation. A properly installed Firelite wireless mesh network with primary link reporting enabled will be highly immune to RF interference from other wireless products even when they are nearby. The use of the primary link reporting feature is highly recommended. If the system is installed in a controlled environment where other 900 MHz ISM band devices will not be present, the primary link reporting feature may be disabled to permit greater distances between installed devices if required. The Firelite wireless mesh network will be able to automatically detect and avoid certain types of in-band channel interference (often caused by two-way radios) by using an alternate chan-
nel set. The system will log detection and avoidance of this kind interference in the W-GATE his-
tory as "Walkie Talkie Mode" Entry or Exit and in the NFS2-3030 history as Alternate Channel Set or Normal Channel Set.

Select the W-DIS-D from the Communicator panel. The W-DIS-D is listed by its generic name, LCD UI. 8. Click Assign. The W-DIS-D is now included in the list of devices with a profile assigned. When the profile is assigned, the LED emits a solid green light for 10 seconds. Assigning a Profile to a W-DIS-D with W-GATE or Distributor A W-GATE that has a profile can be used to distribute the profile to a W-DIS-D. The W-GATE must be in a state where it can distribute a profile. For further information on profile distribution from a W-GATE, refer to 2.6.3, "Profile Distribution". A device that has a profile can be used to distribute the profile by using distributor mode. For more information on distributor mode of a device refer to 4.6.2, "Distributor Mode". To transfer profile from W-GATE/distributor to W-DIS-D, do the following:
1. Bring the W-DIS-D within the range of the W-GATE or the distributor device. 2. Power on the W-DIS-D. Ensure the W-DIS-D is in the factory default state. A single or double red light flashes on the LED confirming that the W-DIS-D is in the default state. 3. Activate either magnet sensors to make the W-DIS-D request the profile. Once a magnet sensor is activated, the LED flashes red light every half second indicating that it is requesting a profile. If the profile is successfully received, the LED emits a solid green light for 10 seconds. If the profile is not received within a minute, the LED flashes a red light every ten seconds indicating that it has stopped requesting for a profile. 3.6.2 Mesh Formation To add a W-DIS-D to a mesh, refer to , "Mesh Formation with PC Tools" or , "Mesh Formation".

played and notified on the FACP and N-ANN 80 in the form of messages. These messages are dis-
played based on their occurrences. You can scroll through the messages using the up arrow and down arrow buttons. LCD UI Not in Network The message, RF COMM LOSS is displayed when the W-DIS-D is not in the network. The mes-
sage displayed is if the W-DIS-D is in Bootloader, factory default, or profile assigned state but not a part of a mesh network. RF COMM LOSS is a tracking event that will clear once the W-DIS-D joins a mesh network. Mesh Formation In Progress The message, MESH FORMATION IN PROGRESS is displayed when the network is in mesh formation mode. Mesh Formation in Progress is a tracking trouble that will clear once the W-
GATE exits mesh formation mode. NOTE: The ANN-80 must join the network to show this message. If it is not present in the network, RF Comm Loss message is displayed. 54 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 ANN-80 Operations Wireless Display Driver (W-DIS-D) Presence of less than four viable batteries. The device has less than one month power left to perform the required operations. Low Battery Event The low battery event denotes that:
Or The low battery event is a latching condition. To clear the low battery event, tamper the device and replace all the four batteries. When a device is tampered, it drops out of the mesh network and attempts to rejoin as soon as the batteries are replaced and the tamper event is cleared. The low bat-
tery levels on the wireless devices are displayed as a trouble in the ANN-80 and generic trouble on the FACP. Initiate a RESET at the ANN-80 to clear the low battery event. It is displayed as the following ASCII text on the ANN-80. Trouble Jamming Event Jamming occurs when a device is overloaded with an interfering RF signal; but is able to send the messages out. A jamming event is detected after 20 seconds of exposure to the jamming signal.The jamming event is displayed as a trouble event in the ANN-80 and generic trouble event on the FACP. Jamming is a tracking trouble. To clear the jamming trouble, remove any interference sources near the point that is reporting the trouble. Duplicate Address Two wireless devices on the same mesh network that are set to the same address reports a duplicate address trouble. Duplicate address is a tracking trouble that will self restore once the conflict has been resolved. The following graphic illustrates the duplicate address trouble. PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 55 Wireless Display Driver (W-DIS-D) ANN-80 Operations Degraded Connection The class A fault denotes a single connection path from the device. The wireless system is a class A system requiring two communication paths for normal operations. To remedy the class A fault, ensure adequate device spacing or the use of a repeater may be required. The wireless mesh is a self healing network. If the trouble is not cleared within 5 minutes, additional actions may be required. Refer to the troubleshooting section for tips on resolving class A fault conditions. The following graphic illustrates the Class A trouble. System Initialization ANN-80 displays the below displayed message when it initializes. Gateway initializing is a track-
ing trouble that is active during the first mesh optimization. Once the first mesh optimization rou-
tine executes, the trouble will clear. System Normal ANN-80 displays the below displayed message when the system is functioning normally and there are no wireless troubles in the system. Tamper Event A tamper trouble indicates that a detector is not firmly attached to the base or, cover plate is not properly attached in a module. The Tamper events are displayed as supervisory events in the ANN-
80 and generic supervisory events on the FACP. Tamper is a latching condition that requires a reset at the ANN-80 to clear. 56 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 ANN-80 Operations Wireless Display Driver (W-DIS-D) Weak Link A weak link trouble indicates that the connection of a device with its parent device is weak, since the signal strength fails to meet the minimum RSSI threshold. The threshold is -50 dB during com-
missioning mode and -58 dB during normal mode. The trouble will be cleared only if the parent-
child signal strength goes above the required RSSI threshold, or if a mesh optimization is triggered. Key Bus Trouble A Key bus trouble indicates that the ANN-80 has lost connection with W-DIS-D. Capacity Exceeded A device count trouble indicates that there are fifty devices that are already present in the mesh and one more device is trying to join the network. Maximum Gateways Gateways Exceeded trouble indicates that the number of overlapping gateways exceeds the limit of 4 gateways.

The W-GATE must be in a state where it can distribute a profile. For more information on converting a W-GATE to a distributor, refer to 2.6.3, "Profile Distribution". A device with a profile can be used to distrib-
ute the profile. To put a device into distributor mode, refer to topic, Converting a Device into a Distributor. Transfer Profile from W-GATE/Distributor to Detector To transfer profile from W-GATE/distributor to the detector, do the following:
1. Bring the detector within the range of the W-GATE/distributor. 2. Power on the detector. Ensure the detector is in factory default state. A single or double red light flashes on the detector confirming that the detector is in the default state. 3. To make the detector request the profile, activate the magnetic test switch shown in the below figure. Figure 4.1 Magnet in a detector Once the magnet test switch is activated, the LED flashes red light every half second indicating that it is requesting a profile. If the profile is successfully received, the LED emits a solid green light for 10 seconds. If the profile is not received within a minute, the LED flashes a red light every ten sec-
onds indicating that it has stopped requesting for a profile. Transfer Profile from W-GATE/Distributor to Module To assign a profile to a module, perform the following steps:
1. Bring the module in range of the W-GATE or the distributor. 2. Power on the module. Ensure the module is in factory default state. If the module is in factory default state, the LED blinks red once. 3. To make the module request the profile, toggle the state of the tamper condition. To toggle the tamper condition state, start with the faceplate removed. PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 63 Devices Configuration and Programming 4.

tem. The site survey view in the PC tool allows you to view the Radio Frequency (RF) assessment of the site. The tool reports the suggested device spacing based on the data collected during the site survey. This helps to optimize the reliability and performance of the wireless network in the wire-
less fire alarm system. A.1.1 Conducting Site Survey at the Job Site The site survey includes two tests:
Link quality test RF Scan Test The link test can be conducted individually or it can be done followed by the RF Scan test. This section explains the steps for a link quality test and a link quality test followed by RF Scan test. Link Quality Test A link quality test is a quick and repeatable test that provides immediate feedback on the device connectivity. It is conducted primarily to check if there is an event of pocket loss during data trans-
mission between devices. In a link test, the device addresses are set in the range of 001 to 100. Basic Requirements To conduct a link test, ensure that You possess two or more devices. The devices are in factory default condition. NOTE: The LEDs in the device blink red (single or double blink) upon starting the device if it is in a factory default condition. Refer to 4.6.4, "Restoring a Device to Factory Default" for more information on setting the device to factory default state. Conduct a Link Test NOTE: The below procedure lists the steps for conducting only a link test. Hence, examples on the setting the address on devices is explained considering only link test. To conduct a link test, perform the following steps. 1. Remove the batteries if any present, from the devices and set the address of the first device as 001. NOTE: For each subsequent device, use the next highest SLC address. For example, set the first device address as 001, second device as 002 and third device as 003. The upper address limit for a device address is 100 while doing a link test. 2. Bring the first device to the required location to conduct the test. 3. Insert one battery in to the factory fresh device. After inserting the battery, the LEDs in the device blink red twice every five seconds, if the device is ready for site survey. 78 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Description Site Survey NOTE: You could insert the battery into any available slot. Inserting more than one battery deters the device from entering the site survey mode. 4. Clear the tamper condition within one minute of the device startup, to enter the site survey mode. To clear the tamper condition, position the decorative ring around the base of the detector and rotate it in either direction until the ring snaps to its place (Refer to the below image). When you clear the tamper, the device starts the transmission that is denoted by LEDs. Refer to the Table A.1, "Link Test Results-LED Pattern"
NOTE: Due to the absence of the second device that is yet to be introduced, the transmission fails. Hence, the LEDs in the first device emits solid red. 5. Bring the second device to the required location and repeat the steps 3 and 4. The LEDs in the second device emit yellow light while the test is being conducted. Results of Link Test Once you have introduced the two devices, the devices start communicating and the link quality test is started. The blinking pattern of the LEDs in the device 002 communicates the results of the link test. To repeat the test, follow the steps 1 to 4 listed under Conduct a Link Test The following table explains the LED patterns during a link test. State Pattern LInk Test in progress Single blink every 0.5 seconds. Solid Single blink every 5 seconds. 2 blinks every 5 seconds. 3 blinks every 5 seconds. 4 blinks every 5 seconds. LED Yellow Results & Description Transmission of data packets to another device. Red Red Red Green Green Failure - No Packets received Poor -Received only half of the total transmission of data packets or poor signal strength Marginal - Packets partially received or marginal signal strength. Good - All packets received and good signal strength Excellent - All packets received and excellent signal strength Table A.1 Link Test Results-LED Pattern PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 79 Site Survey Description Tasks After Link test Reboot the devices of the link test. To do this, remove and insert the batteries. After rebooting, do not push the detector back in the base. The devices can be moved around different locations in the site to optimize the results. The results of the link quality test (or) the LED indications will exist until the battery lasts in the devices. Upon completion of the link test using the devices numbered 001 and 002, you can test the link quality using different set of devices in other required locations. To do so, follow the steps 1 to 5 listed under Conduct a Link Test Retrieve the site survey results. To retrieve the site survey results, refer to the topic Retrieving Site Survey Resultsat the end of this section. Link Quality Test and RF Scan Test An RF Scan test can be conducted following a link test. A Radio Frequency scan test is conducted to assess and measure the background noise and interference, from other wireless systems if any, in the site. The RF Scan test is conducted following the link test. While doing a RF Scan test, the device addresses are set starting from 100 till 159. The below procedure lists the steps for conducting a link test followed by a RF Scan test. Hence, examples on the setting the address on devices is explained considering both the tests. Conduct a Link Test To understand the basic requirements of a link test, refer to the section A.1.1. To conduct a link test, perform the following steps. 1. Remove the batteries if any present, from the devices and set the address of the first device as 101. For each subsequent device, use the next highest SLC address. For example, set the first device address as 101, second device as 102 and third device as 103. The upper address limit for a device address is 100 while doing a link test. 2. Bring the first device to the required location to conduct the test. 3. Insert one battery in to the factory fresh device in any available slot. Inserting more than one battery deters the device from entering the site survey mode. If the device is ready for site survey, after inserting the battery, the LEDs in the device blink red twice every five seconds. 4. Clear the tamper condition within one minute of the device startup to enter the site survey mode. To clear the tamper condition, position the decorative ring around the base of the detector and rotate it in either direction until the ring snaps to its place. Refer to the below image. At this stage, the device starts the transmission. Due to the absence of the second device that is yet to be introduced, the transmission fails. Hence, the LEDs in the first device emits solid red. For more information, Refer to table A.2. 5. Bring the second device to the required location and repeat the steps 3 and 4. The LEDs in the second device emit yellow light while the test is being conducted. 80 PRELIMINARY: Firelite Wireless Sensor Network P/N LS10036-000FL-E:N0 10/10/2013 Description Site Survey Results of Link Test Once you have introduced the two devices, the devices start communicating and the link quality test is started. The blinking pattern of the LEDs in the device 102 communicates the results of the link test. To repeat the test, follow the steps 1 to 4. The link test results stay for 5 minutes and then the RF test begins. You can repeat the test any number of times; the only condition being that the next test should be conducted within five minutes of the last concluded test. Refer to Table A.1,
"Link Test Results-LED Pattern" for LED patterns that convey the link quality results. This concludes the link test and the RF Scan test starts. The devices addressed 101 or higher, transition to RF Scan test. On devices addressed below 100, the link test results stay until the bat-
tery last. If you are conducting the link test with several devices started in various time frames, it is possible that the devices that start and complete the link test first can transition to RF Scan test, when the devices that began later are still in the link test mode. The RF Scan test may take up to 70 minutes and you have to check the LED patterns for results. The LED patterns are given below. Results of RF Scan Test State Pattern In Progress- 70 minutes remaining 7 short blinks (Solid) every 30 seconds LED Red Result Bad In Progress- 70 minutes remaining 7 short blinks (Solid) every 30 seconds Yellow Marginal In progress- 70 minutes remaining 7 short blinks (Solid) every 30 second Green Good Table A.2 RF Scan Test Results - LED Pattern Retrieving Site Survey Results To retrieve the site survey results, do the following:
