1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your selection of the DSC WLS900 Wireless Security System. The WLS900 Wireless Security System has been designed to provide you with a dependable and flexible security system that is easy to operate and maintain. The system uses radio signals to link its components together. Wireless technology allows for great flexibility in locating the system’s components; only the controller and the sounders need to be located where they can be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2 USING THE KEYPAD The Keypad is designed to make your system easy to use. Messages describing system status and operation are displayed on the Keypad screen in plain language, an easy to follow menu will guide you through all aspects of system operation. Operating the system is as easy as answering “Yes” or “No” to the questions presented on the Keypad’s screen. The Keypad’s Inactive State When the keypad is not being used, it will be in an inactive state to conserve its batteries.
3 ARMING THE SYSTEM 3A - Arming Levels; The system is designed for simple and easy arming. “Disarmed” “Home” “Away” - When the system is “Disarmed”, it is still providing protection with, 1. keypad emergency buttons, P, A, or F, 2. smoke or fire detection devices, 3. possibly 24-hour sensors for special cabinets, closets, drawers, etc. - When the system is armed to “Home”, it allows you to move around freely without concerns but touching specific doors or windows may cause the system to sound.
The Improper Arming is designed to prevent false alarms by warning you when your system has been improperly armed. If a Zone, such as Door or Window Sensor, is left open when the system is armed, an error tone will sound. The error tone will sound for the duration of the Entry Delay time. If the system is not disarmed before the Delay expires, an alarm will be reported to your monitoring station.
4 DISARMING THE SYSTEM If the system is in alarm when you arrive, do not enter the premises; an intruder may be present or a fire condition may exist. Go to a neighbor and contact the authorities from there. Only if you are absolutely certain that no danger exists should you proceed with disarming the system and entering the premises. 4A - Disarming the System During the Entry Delay Enter the premises through your designated Entry/Exit door.
When scrolling through the Alarm Memory Display, the screen will display messages like the one shown here. The Zone that went into alarm will be displayed, along with a message asking if you would like to view the next item -YES Key to view the next Zone in Alarm Memory, or in the list. Press the -NO Key to return the Keypad to its inactive state. When the last press the -YES or Zone in Alarm Memory has been displayed, pressing either the -NO Key will return the Keypad to its inactive state.
5 SYSTEM STATUS MESSAGES When arming your system, certain messages may be displayed on the Keypad after your personal Access Code has been entered. These messages are designed to inform you of conditions that may affect system operation. Messages will only appear if the conditions they indicate are present. 5A - System In Use While two Keypads may be installed on your system, only one Keypad may be used at a time.
5E - Sensor Faults Sensor Faults This message will only be displayed if “Sensor Faults” are detected. A Sensor Fault may mean that a Sensor’s batteries are running low, or that the Sensor is unable to communicate with the Controller. This message will be displayed before scrolling to the next message. -YES Key to view the list of “Sensor Faults”. Use the -YES Press the Sensor Faults Key to scroll through the list of Sensor Faults.
5I - System Ready This message will be displayed when a personal Access Code is entered and the system is ready to be armed. 5J - Alarms in Memory If there are alarms in memory, this message will be displayed before arming. When the Keypad displays this message allowing you to arm the system, -YES Key to arm the system, or press the -NO Key. To view press the -NO Key until the next message is displayed. alarms in memory, press the Press the -YES Key to view “alarm memory”.
5M - Trouble Conditions The system monitors itself automatically for trouble conditions. Your system may still be armed with a trouble condition present, but beware the system may not operate as expected. If you were unable to correct a trouble condition, contact your installer for assistance. Trouble Display Cause What You Should Do “Controller Batt” “Controller Battery”.
6 BYPASSING ZONES A “bypassed” sensor will not cause an alarm. Sensors may be bypassed to allow access to part of the premises while other sensors remain armed. For example, you could bypass the motion sensor protecting your living room, while the sensor protecting the Entry/Exit Door remains armed. Bypassed sensors will be automatically cleared the next time you disarm the system. Each time you want to arm the system with some of the sensors bypassed, follow the procedure below.
7 MASTER CODE FUNCTIONS The Master Code is a unique personal Access Code that allows you to make changes to some of the programming features in your system.
7B - Door Chime When the Door Chime feature is enabled, activating certain sensors will cause the Sounder to beep several times. The Door Chime is a convenient feature that may be used to indicate that an out-of-sight door or window is being opened. Your installer will indicate which sensors on your system will work with the Door Chime feature. Note that the Door Chime only operates when the system is disarmed. -YES Key to enable the Door When this message is displayed, press the Chime feature.
The Keypad will again display which of the 10 personal Access Codes have been programmed. In this example, note that a dash now appears in place of Code 4 to indicate that it has been programmed. -YES Key to add a new code or change a code that has already Press the -NO Key is been programmed using the method just described. If the pressed, the following message will be displayed. -YES Key to erase an Access Code.
When this message is displayed, enter the new component’s Serial Number on the Keypad. Each component’s Serial Number is printed on the back of the component. If an error is made in entering the number, Key and re-enter the number. When the Serial Number is press the entered, the next message will be displayed, now add Batteries to the new component. Confirm that the Serial Number has been entered correctly by pressing -YES Key.
A “Walk Test” is a simple procedure designed to make sure all Sensors on your system are working. • Start the test from the Keypad as described here. • Walk through the premises to activate Motion sensors. • Open and close doors and windows to test Door or Window Sensors. • Smoke Detectors are tested by removing the unit from its backplate and then replacing it. Refer to the notes on the next page about Testing the Motion Sensors installed on your system.
After the test period has ended, the Motion Detector will automatically end its test mode and return to normal operation. (Later versions of Motion Sensors may stay in “test mode” for 3-4 minutes.) Questions About Your Walk Test? If you are ever unsure about testing your system, or if the Walk Test reveals that a Sensor is not working properly, contact your installer for assistance. Motion Sensors are trap protection for rooms or areas.
9 REPLACING BATTERIES From time to time, the batteries in the Sensors and other components on your system will need to be changed. Your Keypad will indicate when a Sensor’s batteries need to be replaced; refer to Sensor Low Battery in Section 5N or Sensor Faults in Section 5E of this manual. Under normal conditions, the batteries in your system should last up to three years.
9C - Door or Window Sensor WLS905: Insert a small screwdriver in the slot on the side of the Transmitter. Gently turn the screwdriver clockwise and pull the module to the left. WLS907: Insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the side of the Sensor. Push the screwdriver in and lift off the cover. Remove the batteries from the module, and install three fresh Eveready Alkaline Energizer AAA batteries. Be sure to insert the batteries in the proper orientation. Re-assemble the Sensor.
9F - Keypad Remove the Keypad from its backplate. Pull the bottom of the Keypad slightly away from the wall and push up. Open the battery cover and remove the batteries. Install four fresh Eveready Alkaline Energizer AA batteries. Be sure to insert the batteries in the proper orientation. Replace the Keypad on its mounting plate, making sure it snaps into place. 9G - Smoke Detector Remove the mounting plate from the detector by pushing the locking tab and turning the mounting plate counter-clockwise.
FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME Most fires occur in the home, to minimize this danger it is recommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed. Household Fire Safety Check your home for the following potential hazards: • Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, over-loaded lighting circuits, and so on.
