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 system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warn ing 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 system—typically 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 communication, and other various interoperable communication methods—can 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 Nati onal 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.systemsenso r.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, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be blown aw a y from de tectors by air outlets, such as air conditioning vents.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designe d to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sens ing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers 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 bette r 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 warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions

(caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, 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 detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector shoul d 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 developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising it s ability 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 a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.

• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have sh own that certain people, even when they he ar 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 signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

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 compatible 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 premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily 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 t he entire life safety sys tem in excellent working order , ongoing mai ntenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dus t, dirt, or hig h air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthl y or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life saftety system installers only . Adequate written reco rds of all inspe ctions should be kept.

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 associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting 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 programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance 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 components, circuits, system operations, or sof tware functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addit ion, 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 0-49º C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components 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 15-27º C/60-80º F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate 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 subject ed 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 Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

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 modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty wit h screw terminal removal.

This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling 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 inst al lati on, opera ting, and pr ogramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and rel iability depend upon prop er inst allatio n.

W-GATE Description

Section 2: W-GATE

2.1 Description

The W-GATE is a device in a wireless fire system that acts as a bridge between fire alarm control panels and wireless fire devices. All wireless fire devices communicate with the W-GATE over the wireless network formed by the devices and the W-GATE.

The Wireless Sensor Network includes a W-DIS-D (Wireless Display Driver). The W-DIS-D and ANN-80 are required for the display of wireless specific events. W-DIS-D and ANN-80 are explained in detail in Chapter 3.

The W-GATE is powered by either the SLC loop or from any ext ernal 24VDC UL listed power supply. The W-GATE uses LiteSpeed proto col on the SLC to communicate with the panel and a proprietary wireless protocol to communicate with wireless fire devices. The following graphic is an illustration of the components of the Firelite Wireless Sensor Network.

2.4 Installing W-GATE

2.4.1 Before Installing

Choose a location for the W-GATE that is clean, dry, and vibration-free. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the W-GATE. Metal obstructions impede the radio frequency communication and should be avoided. Carefully unpack the system and inspect for shipping damage if any. All wiring must comply with the national and local codes for fire alarm systems.

W-GATE Mounting & Wiring

2.5 Mounting & Wiring

2.5.1 Mounting

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 1/2˝octagon, single gang or double 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.

Mounting & Wiring W-GATE

2.5.3 W-GATE Powered from SLC

To power the W-GATE using the signal line circuit, connect it as described in table 2.1 below:

Terminal Pins Description

A5 & A7 SLC Common & SLC Output/Input

A5& A6 SLC Common & SLC Input/Output

A4 & A5 Jumper selection to enable power from the SLC supply (Insert Jumper when using

SLC power)

using SLC power)

Table 2.1

Figure 2.5 Wiring Connections (W-GATE powered from SLC)

NOTE: It is recommended to use the same wire gauge if there are multiple connections to the

same terminal.

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 modules.

Configuration and Programming W-GATE

2.6 Configuration and Programming

The goal of configuring and/or programming the W-GATE is to:

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 performed with or without using PC-based configuration tool.

2.6.1 Without a PC-based Configuration Tool

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 using the W-GATE

• Assign a previously created profile to the W-GATE using a distributor.

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 seconds (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 WGATE 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 seconds.

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.

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 communicates 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.

Configuration and Programming W-GATE

Figure 2.8 Mesh Formation

Magnetic Sensor on a W-GATE

The W-GATE transitions to the mesh formation mode and establishes communication with all the devices containing a common profile. The blink pattern in WGATE indicates that it is in mesh formation 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 form ing the mesh.

Mesh formation typically takes one minute for each device in the mesh. Mesh formation automatically terminates 10 minutes after the last device joins the mesh. The mesh formation can be terminated 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

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 operating instructions, refer to 2.7, "Operations".

2.6.3 Profile Distribution

There are two ways to initiate profile distribution from the W-GATE.

• Automatically after creating a profile,

• Activating the profile creating magnetic sensor when it has a profile.

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-GATE’s 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".

W-GATE Configuration and Programming

2.6.4 SLC Configuration

The W-GATE,

• Communicates with the control panel via the SLC circuit.

• 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.

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

• T ype Code Label: 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

• T ype Code Label: Tamper

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

• T ype Code Label: Trouble Mon

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 ANN80 for the trouble event.

The specific address and trouble condition is displayed on the ANN-80.

Operations W-GATE

2.7 Operations

2.7.1 W-GATE Modes of Operation

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 provide any fire protection when they are in factory default mode. The W-GATE does not communicate 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-GATE’s 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 transitions 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-GATE’s 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-GA TE 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 d evi ces in the mesh to also transition to mesh formation. 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-GATE’s 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 transmissions. Mesh Optimization terminates automatically once all devices have a redundant communication 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-GATE’s 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, providing fire protection. The mesh network continu o usly searches for additional devices with a matching 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 communicator 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 terminates 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 communication 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 communicator 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 contains a profile. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor emits solid red light for ½ 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 WGATE") toggles the W-GATE, in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activation of the sensor puts the W-GATE in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation 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 activating 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 ½ 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. The LED indications are provided in the table below.

2.7.5 Weak Link Trouble Reporting

The Firelite Wireless Sensor Network uses two paths of communication for each device. To establish 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 threshold for primary connections to provide an extra lay er of robustness and immunity from interference. 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.

2.7.8 Multiple Wireless Sensor Network Installation Restrictions

Firelite’s W ireless Sensor Network technology shares the RF spectrum with other Honeywell Wireless 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, toggle 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 channel set. The system will log detection and avoidance of this kind interference in the W-GATE history as "Walkie T alkie Mode" Entry or Exit and in the NFS2-3030 history as Alternate Channel Set or Normal Channel Set.

Site Survey Description

Appendix A: Site Survey

A.1 Description

The site survey allows you to assess and qualify the site for installing the wireless fire alarm system. 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 wireless fire alarm system.

A.1.1 Conducting Site Survey at the Job Site

The site survey includes two tests:

• Link quality test

• RF Scan T est

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 transmission 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.

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 Results”at 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.

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 battery 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.

Trouble Type Trouble Description Action

Weak link condition The weak link trouble denotes a

connection of insufficient primary signal strength.

Class A fault condition Device loses the connection with

any of the parent devices.

Jamming Jamming occurs when a device is

overloaded with an interfering RF signal; but is able to send the messages out.

Low battery The low battery event denotes

that the device has less than one month power left to perform the required operations. Or presence of less than four viable batteries.

Duplicate address Two wireless devices on the

same mesh network that are set to the same address reports a duplicate address trouble.

C.2 Testing W-GATE and Devices

The W-GATE must be tested after installation and as an integral part of a periodic maintenance program. The testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The W-GATE provides optimum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72 ordinances.

Ensure spacing between devices, or use repeaters.

If any jammers are installed in the vicinity of the devices, remove them.

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.

Change the address of a device to avoid duplication.

NOTE: The W-GATE used with this base must be tested and maintained regularly following the NFPA 72 ordinances. The W-GATE should be cleaned at least once a year.
