9. Plug the power supply into a standard outlet. Using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is recommended.
10. If the power supply has a mounting tab, secure it to the outlet.
11. Using the software loaded on the Central Server, select the COM port assigned to the Gateway. Refer to the
section "Poll Server Settings" in the Series 6.0 Software Administrative Guide (PN 0510-1080).
T o inst all the Gateway in or near a wiring closet
1. Locate a mounting site for the Gateway within the wiring closet. Placement of the Gateway should not be located
over a stud. The Gateway should be at a one-foot distance from the bottom of the enclosure to the ceiling.
NOTE: In some circumstances where RF performance is impaired by a shielded wiring
closets or the location of the covered area is at a significant distance from the wiring
closet, the Gateway can be located outside the wiring closet by making use of the
provided 50 foot RS232/Power Cable.
2. Using the rear plate of the Gateway as a template, place it level against the wall and mark the location of the two
mounting holes.
3. Center punch each hole and insert two nylon wall anchors (included).
4. Make certain that the RS232/Power Cable is plugged into the Gateway and that the ON/OFF switch is in the ON
position.
5. Depending on which serial port server you use, do one of the following:
a. When using a 4-port serial port server (PN 9450-0910) with cable (PN 0460-0101), connect the RJ45 connector
from the Gateway to the top side of the serial port server. The serial port server is located within the black box
mounting assembly.

b. When using a single serial port server (PN 9600-0002) with cable (PN 0460-0124), connect the 9-
Pin connector from the Gateway to the single serial port server. Run Cat-5 wiring and terminate
each end with a RJ45 connector. Connect one end to the Ethernet connector on the bottom of the
single serial port server and the other end to the Ethernet switch.
Then, either plug the serial port into the CPS observing the polarity of the cable, red to (+ ) and
black to ( - ) or plug the power supply into a standard outlet. Using an uninterruptable power supply
(UPS) is recommended for standard output power.
6. Ensure that the wires are pulled through the wire tie wrap, secure them tightly with the wire tie and
cut off excess.
7. Place the rear plate of the Gateway into the recess on the back of the Gateway enclosure.
8. With the antenna pointing upwards, place the Gateway over the wall anchors in alignment with the
holes in the enclosure and insert two screws (included). Verify Gateway is firmly secured to the
wall to prevent device from falling.
9. Using the software loaded on the Central Server select the COM port assigned to the Gateway.
Refer to the section "Poll Server Settings" in the Series 6.0 Software Administrative Guide (PN
0510-1080).
T o test the Gateway
1. Activate a transceiver and initiate an alarm event.
Installing Components
2. If the Gateway does not appear in the device list, verify that the appropriate communications port is
selected.
Install Routers
Routers receive signals from transceivers and re-transmit them to the Gateway . There are two
models of Routers, one with an internal antenna and one with an external antenna for greater
range. Routers can be supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Router and if the signal is
not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the Event List at the computer.
The Router has four (4) single-color LED lights; two green and two red. For more information
on LED lights and LED sequence refer to “LED Sequence” on page 13.
The two lights furthest from the Reset Button indicate device transceiver communication
status These set of lights flashes briefly (once) every check-in (30 seconds by default), when a
tamper alarm is triggered or cleared, and when a data is forwarded.
• Green indicates communication is good and data is forwarded OK to the next Router.
• Red indicates communication failure and data is NOT forwarded to the next Router.
The two lights closest to the Reset Button indicate RS232 communication status. These set of light s flashes
briefly (once) when data is transmitted to an external RS232 device (i.e. Quick Look).
• Green indicates that the external RS232 device loopback is detected.
• Red indicates that the external RS232 device loopback is not detected.

Place a Pendant into Survey Mode
A Pendant in Survey Mode is used to survey the coverage area when installing Routers. Any Pendant
transceiver can be configured for Survey Mode. While in Survey Mode the Pendant periodically blinks either
green or red, depending on whether or not it is in range of a Router . Pressing the button on a Pendant in
Survey Mode does not generate or clear alarms.
Prepare Pendant for Surv ey Mode configuration
1. Insert the 3V Lithium coin cell battery into the Pendant.
2. Allow the Pendant to sit “untouched” for two minutes while it downloads the site’s channels.
3. Remove the battery from the Pendant.
T o configure a Pendant for Survey Mode
1. Hold down the button on the Pendant transceiver.
2. While holding the button down, insert a 3V Lithium coin cell battery into the battery holder of the
Pendant transceiver.
3. Continue holding the button down until you see the light blink (approximately 2 seconds).
The Pendant blinks green or red every 1 1/2 seconds. Green indicates that the Pendant is within
range of a Router; red indicates the Pendant is outside of the coverage area.
T o t ake a Pendant out of Sur vey Mode
1. Remove the 3V Lithium coin cell battery from the Pendant
2. Insert a “new” battery into battery holder of the Pendant. Do NOT hold the button down.
The Pendant is now ready for normal use (refer to “Pendant Transceivers” on page 40).
