Wireless Sounder Instructions

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:

WisDom; Main engineer menu> 9) Devices > 2)Sounder > 1) Allocation > Select sounder> Choose
ODWS1

Agility: Main Engineer menu: 2) Radio Devices > 1) Allocation > 1) RF Allocation

LightSYS (V2.40 and above): Main Engineer menu: 7) Install > 2) WL Device > 2) Allocation > 1) By
RF > 4) Sounder

2. Select the sounder's ID.
3. Unpack the supplied batteries.
4. Insert two speaker batteries and three Radio batteries into the batteries holders.
5. After a squawk is heard and the sounder's strobe flashes 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 and the 2 LEDs on the sounder will flash for 3 seconds.

6. 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.
