Wireless Sounder Instructions 3

Introduction

RISCO Group's two-way indoor wireless sounder is designed to extend the signaling
capabilities of the RISCO Group WisDom and Agility wireless systems, within the
protected area. The wireless sounder offers an easy and flexible solution for quick
installation. The sounder is powered by its own batteries and communicate wirelessly
with the security panel using 868MHz or 433MHz frequency band. Up to 3 wireless
sounders can be assigned to a system.

Operational Functions

Alarm / Tamper Indication

Upon an alarm condition, the sounder will be activated for a period of time defined
by the system (Bell Time Out parameter).
The maximum time that the sound will be activated is 5 minutes.

Low Battery Indication

Upon a low battery condition a trouble indication is sent to the panel.
There are 2 types of low battery indications:

Ê Radio low battery
Ê Speaker low battery

Supervision

Each sounder can be defined to be supervised by the panel. The system generates
a local trouble signal identifying the sounder which its signal is not received during
a predefined time, followed by a report to the Central Station (if defined).

Pre Alarm Indication

When an entry time starts, the system transmits a pre-alarm signal to the sounder.
If the system is disarmed before the entry delay time expires, a cancellation signal
is sent to the sounder.
If the sounder does not receive a canceling signal within the entry delay time, the
sounder will be activated.

Sounder Testing

Once placing all batteries in place, the sounder performs a functional self test
indicated by a squawk sound. Testing the sounder can also be performed remotely
by the system keypad, or, using the remote configuration software.

4 Wireless Sounder Instructions

Mounting the Sounder

1. Open the front cover by removing the cover locking screw located at the bottom of the
unit.

2. Hold the back plate against the wall and mark the locations of the mounting holes.
the desired mounting holes and insert the screw anchors.

3. Mount the back unit to the wall using the supplied screws.

4. Insert the supplied batteries paying attention to the polarity.

5. Perform communication set up with the control panel.

6. Once communication setup is complete, close the cover and locking screw.

Wireless Sounder Instructions 5

Programming the sounder

Programming the wireless sounder consists of the following 3 steps:

1. Setting communication between the receiver and the sounder

2. Setting sounder parameters

3. Testing the sounder

Step 1: Sounder/Receiver Communication Set up

The sounder must identify itself to the system's receiver by writing its ID into the
System. Perform according to the following steps:

1. Set the receiver to the Write mode.

NOTE:

In the WisDom , as first step, you need to allocate the sounder in the following programming location:

Main engineer menu> 9) Devices > 2)Sounder > 1) Allocation > Select sounder> Choose INWS1

2. Select the sounder's ID.

3. Unpack the supplied batteries

4. Insert two speaker batteries into the batteries chamber (Fig. 3).

5. Insert three Radio batteries into the batteries chamber.

6. After a squawk is heard you have 10 seconds to press on the tamper switch for at
least 3 seconds. If the sounder is successfully recognized, the system will sound a
confirmation beep and the sounder will initiate a second squawk sound.

7. Repeat the process for other sounders in the system.

Step 2: Setting the Sounder Parameters

Each sounder can be defined with different sets of parameters. The following table
describes the list of parameters of the sounder.

NOTE:

For the specific programming location of each parameter refer to the system manuals.

Adjusting the Volume

Defines the sounder sound volume for the following system modes

¾ Exit / Entry: The sound produced during Exit/Entry time (Default: 0)
¾ Alarm: The sound produced during alarm (Default: 9)
¾ Squawk: The sound produced during squawk sounds (Default: 9)

The sound volume range is between 0 (silent) to 9 (maximum volume).

Muting Tamper

This feature disables a tamper alarm from the sounder and it is rec ommended to be
used when replacing sounder's batteries.

NOTES:

1. An ongoing tamper alarm will not be disabled.

2. WisDom: This feature is controlled under the Engineer Menu (Quick key [9][2][5]). Tamper alarm
will be disabled during the current installation programming period.

3. Agility: This feature is controlled under the Grand Master menu. Tamper alarm will be disabled for
20 minutes.

6 Wireless Sounder Instructions

Setting Supervision Time

Specifies how often the system generates a supervision request to the sounder.
If any of the sounders does not respond to the request at least once, during the
receiver supervision time, the system will regard the accessory as lost.

NOTE:

The receiver supervision time should be higher than the sounder supervision time in order to
eliminate false lost event.

Range: 00-255 minutes
Default: 58 minutes

NOTE:

WisDom: Engineer menu: 1) System > 1) Timers > 9) Accessory supervision time
Agility: Engineer menu: 1) System > 1) Timers > TX supervision

Pre Alarm indication

This wireless sounder incorporates a pre - alarm feature that enhanc es the security of
the system, by producing a local alarm in case of sabotage.
If defined, the system sends a pre-alarm signal to the sounder at the beginning of the
entry delay. If the sounder does not receive a cancellation signal from the system at
the end of the entry time, the sounder goes into alarm mode.

NOTE:

WisDom (Ver 4.25): Engineer menu Quick key 1) System > 2)Controls > 44) Pre alarm
Agility: Engineer menu [1][2] > Advanced > Sounder Pre alarm

Step 3: Testing the Sounder

Communication Test

The sounder communication test performs a communication test between the sounder
receiver and the system.
¾ To perform communication test

1. Access to communication test option

NOTE:

WisDom: Engineer menu > 9) Devices > 2) Sounders > 3) Communication test
Agility: Engineer menu > 2) Testing > 5) Sounder > 1) Communication test

2. The system sends a test signal to the sounders. A number between 00-99 indicates
the strength of the communication signal between the system and the sounder.

NOTE:

For successful communication, the strength of the signal should be higher that the sounder receiver noise
threshold level.
(WisDom: Engineer menu quick key [9][2][4], Agility: Engineer menu > 2)Testing >1)Main unit > 1)Calibration).

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics menu enables to test parameters reflecting the operation of the
sounder:

Ê Speaker batteries voltage: Tests the selected sounder’s speaker batteries voltage
Ê Radio batteries voltage: Tests the selected sounder’s radio's batteries voltage
Ê Sounder version: Displays information regarding the sounder's version

Agility: Engineer menu > 2) Testing> 5) Sounder>2) Battery test > 3)Version

The diagnostic features can be also performed from Upload/Download software, locally or remotely

Replacing Batteries

1. Before opening the sounder it is advised to silence the tamper alarm using the
Tamper Mute option (see the Muting Tamper paragraph on page 6).

2. Remove the sounder cover as described in the installation section.

NOTE:

If required you can silence a tamper alarm by pressing the RESET Switch.

3. Remove the old batteries from the metal clips and replace with new ones. Pay
attention to the polarity.

4. Press the RESET switch

5. Close the cover and fasten the cover locking screw.

NOTES:

Dispose of old batteries according to your local regulations.
Risk of explosion if battery replaced by an incorrect type.
