Testing & Mounting

5.1 Test the placement of the WLS904P, WLS906,

WLS907, WLS912, WLS914 and the WLS925L

It is very important to test the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is

mounted. Following these steps will test the placement of the wireless motion detectors

(WLS904P/WLS914), wireless smoke detectors (WLS906), wireless glassbreak detectors

(WLS912) and wireless door/window contacts (WLS907/WLS925L), based on the signal

strength between the LCD5501Z32-433 and the device.

NOTE: You cannot test the Wireless Keys (WLS909/WLS919) in this mode. See

section 5.2 for instructions on testing these devices. You cannot run a placement test

on the RF Jam Detect zone.

1. Temporarily place the device you want to test in the place you want to mount it.

2. At a system keypad, enter [✱][8][Installer Code].

3. Enter programming section [904].

4 Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device to be tested.

5. Activate the device being tested until a result is displayed on the keypad or sounded

by the keypad or bell.

WLS904P & WLS914: Remove the detector from its backplate, wait for 1-2 seconds,

then reattach the detector to its backplate.

WLS906: Remove the detector from its backplate, wait for 5 seconds, then reattach

the detector to its backplate. Or hold a magnet near the raised line on the outer rim.

Then remove the magnet.

WLS907 & WLS925L: Open and close the contact by moving the magnet away

from the unit. If the unit is attached to a door or a window, open and close the door

or window to activate the device.

WLS912: Press and hold the test mode tab for 5 seconds. Release the test mode

tab. The keypad will display the test result.

6. Read the test results at the keypad:

Result LED Keypad LCD Keypad Buzzer/Bell

Good Light 1 On Steady “Good” 1 Beep/Squawk

Fair Light 2 On Steady “Fair” 2 Beeps/Squawks

Bad Light 3 On Steady “Bad” 3 Beeps/Squawks

Activate the device until you get 3 good or fair results in a row. Wait 10 seconds between

each test on the same device.

You may mount wireless devices where results were good or fair.

Devices indicating a bad result must be moved to another location. You may only have

to move the device a few inches to correct a bad result.

NOTE: Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result was indicated.

If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move the

LCD5501Z32-433 to a better location.

7. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 6. Continue to test the

devices until both the LCD5501Z32-433 and the devices are in good locations.

8. To exit installer programming, press [#] twice.
