2. Activate units
All WES
3
units are delivered to site with batteries installed and ready
for site activation. To activate a unit, hold down ‘A’ and press ‘B’ three
times in quick succession. All three LEDs will briey illuminate and then
the amber LED will ash.
This operation activates the unit – no radio connection is
established at this point. The system must include a least one
Emergency Call Point in order to generate an audible alarm. Where a
system comprises Sensors only, no audible alert will be transmitted on
site.
3. Allocate unit numbers
Activated Emergency Call Points, Sensors, and other WES
3
units can
be added to create a WES
3
network using the Unit Numbering process.
During Unit numbering, WES
3
devices receive details of network
conguration from the Emergency control unit, including Inspection
Delay and Pre Alarm settings. Note this is the only way of creating and
adding to a WES
3
network.
Access the Settings Menu on the Emergency Control Unit home
screen. The Settings menu can be accessed from the Main Menu by
selecting Settings with the directional pad then pressing Enter.
You will be required to enter the PIN code before proceeding. This is
set as default to 1234, but can be changed (refer to page 17).
Enter Access Code:

Date and Time
Ensure that any WES
3
devices to be paired is activated and has an
amber ashing LED. This indicates the unit is ready to pair. Units can
be numbered any three digit number from 001 to 999. Numbering
allows messages and alerts during operation to be referenced to a
specic unit location on site, using the construction project site plan.
From the Unit Numbering screen, use the up and down arrows to
select the desired number for your rst unit
SELECT UNIT NUMBER
001
Hold A Button
Press and hold ‘A’ on both units. The amber LEDs will illuminate
followed by the green LEDs to indicate that the units have been
successfully paired and a site group created. Release the ‘A’ buttons.
After successfully numbering a unit, change the number displayed
on the Emergency Control Unit and repeat the process above for all
required units. Note that the Polling feature of WES
3
can perfom an
automatic integrity test of the rst 128 WES
3
units added to a network.
Additonal units can be added to the network, but will be excluded in the
integrity test.
If the red LED illuminates, pairing has failed. Ensure the Unit to be
numbered is activated, and repeat the Unit Numbering process.
4. Add units to an existing group
Repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
5. Position units on site
Once activated and paired, WES
3
units can be installed on site. Ensure
any applicable national guidelines or Standards regarding locating
units on site are adhered to.
Wherever possible, avoid positioning the unit directly adjacent to metal
frames, metal surfaces, electric cables and similar equipment that may
interfere with the signal strength.
