6. Securely x the units in place
Each WES
3
unit must be securely xed in place to ensure correct
operation. The tamper switch on the rear of the unit must be in contact
with the wall or ceiling.
• Sensor units are ceiling mounted and intended for indoor use
only. Installation of sensors may involve working at height or on
elevated platforms. Ensure a risk assessment has been carried
out and all reasonable safety precautions are in place before
commencing work.
• Emergency Call Points must be securely xed, with the antenna
upright, to a robust vertical surface such as a wall or trolley.
Where the existing surface is unsuitable for direct xing, the
Emergency Call Point can be mounted to backing board or
pattressing such as plywood or similar sheet material.
Each unit should be securely mounted using its two integrated
mounting points with M4 x 50mm pan head screws and wall plugs or
other xings selected for the particular wall or ceiling type. Ensure that
all xing points are secure and that the back tamper is fully depressed.
7. Test the system
After installation of the units, it is essential to perform a system alarm
test to conrm proper operation of the system. It is also best practice
to conduct a full system test on a weekly basis. This test should also
be performed following any signicant change to the site environment
(new structure, wall or construction equipment installed) that may affect
the network signal.
The System Test is started from the Emergency Control Unit Settings
Menu:

During System Test mode, the WES
3
network isolates all devices in
the network, allowing full physical test of each unit, without activating
the site-wide alarm. Emergency Call Points can be triggered manually,
and Sensors can be triggered using standard test equipment such as
smoke spray or heat probe.
Once the System Test is complete, return to the Emergency Control
Unit and press the button to complete the test and exit System
Test mode.
It is important to be aware that, whilst in System Test mode, the WES
3
network is inactive and a site-wide alarm cannot be triggered from any
unit. System Test mode must be exited from the Emergency Control
Unit in order to reactivate the network.
Note: Following initial installation, wait for a minimum of 60 minutes
before starting the rst system test. During this time, the WES
3
units
will self-calibrate to adjust for background radio noise which may
impact the accuracy of the system test.
