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 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 0-49º 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 initiating and indicating 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 lightning 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 with 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 installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

1.3 Site Survey

A site survey is recommended to assess and qualify the site prior to installing the Wireless Fire Alarm system. The site survey utility allows you to perform the Link quality test and radio frequency (RF) assessment of the site. This information is used for site qualification, maximum device spacing identification, and configuring the network. This helps to optimize the reliability and performance of the wireless network in the wireless fire alarm system. Conduct a site survey, and ensure there are no obstructions for using RF communications. For more information on a site survey, refer to Appendix A:, "Site Survey".

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 external 24VDC UL listed power supply. The W-GATE uses LiteSpeed protocol 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

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 W- GATE 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 forming 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

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".

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

Type 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

Type 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

Type 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.

2.7Operations

2.7.1W-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 missing. 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.

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 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 continuously 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.

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 W- GATE") 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.
