Replacing a Sensor

The EA800 allows you to replace an existing, programmed wireless sensor with another of the same type. When

replaced, the original sensor’s programmed settings and parameters are retained and applied to the new sensor. If

you need to change settings other than those provided in the

Edit Sensor screen, you must delete the existing

sensor and then add the replacement sensor.

Note:

you can replace the sensor without tripping the alarm.

Note:

If adding more than one sensor, add them to the system one at a time. Power on one sensor and add it to

the system, then power on the next sensor and add it. Do not power on all sensors at the same time.

To replace an existing wireless sensor:

Physically replace the sensor with another of the same type and ensure it is powered on.

Perform the procedure shown below to allow the console to search for the new sensor:

Select the detected sensor from the

SELECT SENSOR screen. If the detected new sensor is the same type as the

replaced sensor, the

SENSOR REPLACED screen is displayed.

Press

OK (F3) to return to the SENSORS screen. If the replacement sensor

appears in the list, highlight it and press

Accept. If it does not appear in the list,

press

Cancel (F1) to continue the search process.

INVALID SENSOR TYPE screen is displayed. Press OK (F3) to return to the

SENSORS screen:

replaced sensor and repeat this procedure.
