Personnel Alert: Base Station
User Manual
Wiring DC Power
a Caution
Polarity must be observed. If the ground and the +24V
wires are reversed, the base station will not work.
Testing Manual Alarms
aWarning
If the area is classified, the base station must
be de-energized before testing alarm contacts.
Radio Frequency (RF) Optimization
The radio configuration requires that the base station
channel hopping pattern be set, and the transmit/receive
attenuation levels be adjusted.
Channel Hopping Pattern
The base station “hops” randomly to fifty frequencies,
continually repeating the “transmit-listen-hop” pattern.
The hopping pattern for each base station is selected from
one of seven channel-hopping algorithms. On the radio
board, the hopping pattern can be selected from S2, by
configuring the binary representation of channels 0 through
7. . Set the binary representation as follows:
bit 0 = switch is closed
bit 1 = switch is open
