Linear PERS-4200 Series manual Sensor Zones, Sensor Status Indicators

Sensor Zones

Each of the Console’s 16 wireless sensor zones has individual setup options. All the options are set on the Sensors tab.

ID

Each wireless transmitter is coded with a unique ID number at the factory. If the transmitter has been locally “learned” by the Console, the ID number will appear in the ID fi eld.

Alternately, transmitters can be enrolled remotely into the Console by entering the transmitter’s ID number into the ID fi eld. This feature is typically used when sending pre-enrolled replacement transmitters to the subscriber. When the subscriber receives the transmitter, it will be pre-programmed into the Console and ready for use.

Type

Each sensor zone can be set to one of four sensor types, or set as Not Installed. When a wireless transmitter is locally “learned” by the Console, the sensor type will be automatically recognized and set by the Console. When a transmitter is enrolled remotely from the Console, the sensor type must be set manually.

The sensor types selections available are:

•Not Installed - For sensor zones that are unused.

•Fire - For smoke detector sensors.

•Activity Reset - For sensors used to reset the Activity Timer.

•Emergency - For sensors used to trigger the emergency alarm.

•Carbon Monoxide - For CO detector sensors.

Supervised

Supervised transmitters send recurring status signals to the Console. Any of the Console’s 16 sensor zone locations can be set to automatically detect status supervision signals from transmitters. This feature makes adding or replacing transmitters in fi eld units easier.

•Select AUTO DETECT for a sensor zone to automatically detect if a wireless transmitter is sending status signals. Once the Console detects status signals from a transmitter, it will expect to regularly receive those signals or the Console will report that the transmitter is missing. The transmitter supervision interval required for the Console to report missing status transmissions is programmed in the Console tab.

•Select DISABLE to set a sensor zone as a non-supervised zone which will not require status reports from a wireless transmitter.

Sensor Status Indicators

On the Sensors tab, each of the Console’s 16 wireless sensors display the sensor’s operational status and if two-way audio is enabled for the sensor’s zone.

Two-way Audio Status

A TWO-WAY AUDIO check box is provided to select if the sensor will start a two-way audio session after an alarm is triggered. Check this box to enable two-way audio for this sensor.

If two-way audio has been globally disabled on the Reporting Options tab, the TWO-WAY AUDIO check box will be grayed out, but still show if it’s checked or not.

Low Battery Status

If a wireless sensor sends a low battery signal to the Console, when the Console’s data is read into the RA4200, the STATUS LOW BATT check box will be checked for that sensor’s zone.

Supervision Status

If the Console fails to receive a status signal from a supervised wireless transmitter before the programmed time for TRANSMITTER SUPERVISION INTERVAL on the Console tab expires, the Console will indicate trouble and blink the CANCEL indicator.

When the Console’s data is read into the RA4200, the STATUS TROUBLE check box will be checked for that sensor’s zone.
