# 6. Using wireless devices

NOTE: before starting the configuration of the device it is necessary to press the button CONNECT or READ SETTINGS. If this is not done your parameters may be lost and it might be necessary to reset factory default settings. NOTE: to make your changes come into effect in the device you must press the button WRITE SETTINGS. NOTE: before starting configuration it is necessary to change the primary manufacturer password („0000“). Otherwise the device will ignore he commands sent from the computer.

Security system EPIR with installed 868MHz radio transmitter-receiver module can be expanded by connecting additional wireless devices:

- wireless PIR sensors (motion sensors);
- wireless expansion modules;
- wireless sirens;
- wireless magnetic door/window sensors;

It is possible to connect up to 16 wireless devices to the central security system at a time. Maximum distance for wireless connection is 150 meters (in open areas). For more information please check user manuals of these devices.
[ SIMPLIFIED RF VIEW: ]
In configuration Tool software it is posible to see all bound (CONNECTED) and unbound (NOT CONNECTED) wireless devices in connection coverage area. The devices are arranged automatically by wireless connection strength between wireless device and EPIR. The unbound devices are indicated as device icon with red stripe above the icon. Once the device is bound, the stripe changes to green:

| bound wireless device;
| unbound wireless device (with real-time alarm notification);

The following wireless device information is displayed by hovering the mouse cursor over a wireless device icon:
STATUS: CONNECTED / NOT CONNECTED.
ID: 8-digit device ID code.
Device Type: wireless device model.
Signal Level: wireless connection signal strength.
RF Zone / Tamper Alarms - Indication of violated zones or tampers of a particular wireless device:

| View RF Zones Summary - redirects to RF Zones section. Find - Find a particular wireless device by device ID code.

| Device ID - Find a particular unbound wireless device by device ID code.

RF Device Management:

Add - Bind the selected wireless device to the system. In addition, a particular unbound wireless device can be bound to the system by clicking the right mouse button on the device icon and selecting Add to System.
Remove - Delete the selected wireless device from the system. In addition, a particular bound wireless device can be removed from the system by clicking the right mouse button on the device icon and selecting Remove From System.
Device Type - Indication of wireless device model and status: CONNECTED - the device is bound to the system; NOT CONNECTED - the device is unbound.
Temperature - provides temperature of the surrounding areas of the indicated wireless device.
Battery Level - provides battery status of the indicated wireless device. 0% - battery is fully discharged, 100% - battery is fully charged (provided users will receive notification by SMS message if battery status will reach critical level).
Signal Level - provides signal strenght between central security system device and indicated wireless device.

# 6.1. Wireless Zones settings

Device ID – unique 8 simbol identification number of wireless device which uses specified zone.
Zone Number – the code number of specified zone.
Zone Name – the code name/text of specified zone. If the specified zone is triggered, system sends to the user SMS message with the entered value. It is allowed to enter up to 24 simbols.
In the section Status it is indicated which zones will be activated (check marks are selected).
All security system EPIR wireless zones can be configured to work in any of the following modes, which are represented in section Zone Type:

- Follow – this type of zone doesn't react and cause an alarm if activated during Delay mode (delay time to enter security code and disarm the system).
- Instant – this type of zone immediately cause an alarm if it is activated. Usually this type of zones is used for doors, windows and other detectors.
- Delay – this type of zone doesn't react to activation for 15 seconds and this time is set to disarm system via keypad. Also this type of zone are usually used to connect contacts of entry doors. When Delay zone isn't violated during arming process the system enters into Stay mode.
- 24H – this type of zone is used to connect sensors which must be monitored all the time, even when system is disarmed. Mostly these zones are used to connect tampers which detects when PIR or security panel box is opened.
- Fire – this type of zone is used to connect smoke detectors and monitors all the time even ifthe system is disarmed. Fire zone alarm is pulse (with pauses).
- Silent – This zone works as 24H zone. The only different is that when it is violated the system doesn't turn on the siren.

Delay, ms – zone reaction time delay. It protects the system against possible interference. For ATZ mode the recommended minimal value is 800ms, otherwise, the recommended minimal value is 600ms.
STAY – function is used only if keyboard or DALLAS key reader is installed and when security is activated by using these additional devices. STAY mode enables the user to activate or deactivate security while staying inside the secured premises. The zones that have the check mark STAY selected will not be secured if the person does not leave the premises after activating security system, i. e. zone Z1 (this zone is normally used for connecting door contact) was not triggered during the time dedicated for leaving the premises. By default, this function is disabled.
Tamper Name – code name of the specified tamper which is used in specified wireless device. If the specified tamper is triggered, system sends to the user SMS message with the entered value. It is allowed to enter up to 17 simbols.
Entry Delay, s – this field is used for setting time that is dedicated for deactivating the security of the premises when the user is in the specified Delay zone. If security is not deactivated in time, the device will sound the alarm. By default, this time is 15 s.
LED Indication Enable – function, enabling (check mark is selected) the mode, which allows the wireless PIR sensors EWP1 to start blinking with LED when it detects the motion even if system security is activated. Otherwise, when the sensor detects the motion it wont start blinking with LED if system security is activated. This function is active only for wireless PIR sensors EWP1.
PIR Sensitivity – PIR sensor sensitivity level. Available margins: 100 – lowest sensitivity level, 0 – highest sensitivity level.By default, selected sensitivity level is 50. This function is active only for wireless PIR sensors EWP1.
Ch.No. - reprensents which wireless connection channel is used for the specified zone (maximum number of available wireless connection channels with system EPIR is 16).

NOTE: the program automatically indicates about the status of the connected devices: if zone is triggered (alarm), the line with the specified zone's ID will be colored in red; when zone is not triggered, the line with specified zone's ID will be colored in green; when zone is not activated (status - off), the line with specified zone's ID will be colored in gray. NOTE: the program automatically indicates about the tamper status of the specified device: in column Tamper Status it shows OK when tamper is not triggered, ALARM - when tamper is triggered. About ALARM status program will indicate instantly.

# 6.2. Wireless Outputs settings

Device ID – unique 8 simbol identification number of wireless device which uses specified output.
Output Number – the code number of specified output.
Output Name – the code name/text of specified output. It is allowed to enter up to 16 simbols.
In section Status indicate the specified outputs which will be activated.
Type (Output/Siren) – the user have to choose what type of device will be controlled through the specified output: Siren – it will be a siren; Output – any kind of electrical device.
Ch.No. - reprensents which wireless connection channel is used for the specified output (maximum number of available wireless connection channels with system EPIR is 16).
