1.1.2 Unable to discover wLSN device into the system.

Cause:Several, including:– Device is not deleted from the control panel– Device is not defaulted– Device batteries are low, missing, oriented incorrectly, or the battery tab was not

removed– Device is out of RF range

Solution:Try the following actions:1. Delete the desired device using the installer's wireless menu, Option 3 (Delete Wireless

Devices).2. If it is necessary to manually default a wLSN point, do so only after deleting the point

from the control panel. You can then force the system to re-discover and configure the wLSN points by executing the Add Device command from the Wireless Devices telephone menu.

3. Ensure that known good batteries are properly installed in the device, and the battery tab is removed.

4. Install the device closer to the wLSN Hub.

1.1.3 Missing wLSN devices indicate a tamper condition.

Cause:The missing and tamper conditions are latched and must be manually cleared.

Solution:If a wLSN point is missing, remove the device's cover and press and release the tamper switch to cause the device to transmit. This allows the wLSN Hub to recognize the device and restore it from the missing status. Then close the cover and clear the latched tamper and missing conditions.

1.1.4 After the exit delay expires, the system does not arm. If you then enter your passcode, the system announces "Exit Error".

Cause:A device is not normal when the exit delay expires.

Solution:– For installations that follow EN50131, the "Exit Error" message is proper operation when

a device is not normal at the end of an exit delay.– Determine and correct the faulted condition on the device.For more information, refer to Section 1.2.1 When I attempt to arm the system, it sometimes announces "Point not Ready" and at other times announces "Exit Error". What's the difference between these announcements?, page 11.

1.1.5 The system announces "Point not Ready".

Cause:A device is not normal when you try to arm the system.

Solution:Determine and correct the faulted condition on the device.For more information, refer to Section 1.2.1 When I attempt to arm the system, it sometimes announces "Point not Ready" and at other times announces "Exit Error". What's the difference between these announcements?, page 11.

1.1.6 After using the Installation Tool to confirm a good signal at all of the device installation locations, the system cannot find all of the installed devices.

Cause:Several, including:– Device is not deleted from the control panel– Device is not defaulted– Device batteries are low, missing, oriented incorrectly, or the battery tab has not been

removed– Device is out of RF range

Solution:Try the following actions:1. Delete the desired device using the installer's wireless menu, Option 3 (Delete Wireless

Devices).2. If it is necessary to manually default a wLSN point, do so only after deleting the point

from the control panel. You can then force the system to re-discover and configure the wLSN points by executing the Add Device command from the Wireless Devices telephone menu.

3. Ensure that known good batteries are properly installed in the device, and the battery tab is removed.

4. Check your readings with the Installation Tool. To use the Installation Tool properly, measure the signal in various locations by slowly moving the tool in several directions (up and down, left and right), holding the Installation Tool still in each location for at least 10 sec. Whenever possible, set the Installation Tool down on a surface and step back from the Tool while reading it so that your body does not affect the dB readings.If the results for SNR fluctuate significantly, the location is:– OK if you subtract the dB difference between the highest (H) result and the lowest

(L) result from the lowest (L) result, and the number equals more than 13 dB. Confirm that the location is OK by testing with the actual wireless device for this location. (L - (H - L) >= 13 dB = OK)

– Not OK if you subtract the dB difference between the highest (H) result and the lowest (L) result from the lowest (L) result and the number equals less than 13 dB. (L - (H - L) <= 13 dB = Not OK) Use the Installation Tool to find a suitable location and re-install the device.

1.1.7 To allow the system to discover a smoke detector, I tested the detector by pushing its TEST button. I had to do this three times before the system discovered the smoke detector.

Solution:Press and hold the TEST button until the sounder activates.

1.1.8 The control center announces an "Output # AC Problem" trouble condition.

Cause:A wLSN output device is missing its optional external power connection.

Solution:Try the following actions:1. Find and fix the cause of the missing or low-voltage power supply to the wLSN device,

then acknowledge the tamper condition.2. If the external power connection was removed intentionally, delete the desired points

using the installer's wireless menu, Option 3 (Delete Wireless Devices); then execute the Add Device command from the Wireless Devices telephone menu.

1.1.9 The relay module reports a low battery, even though the batteries are new.

Cause:

Check if the output is permanently set. If it is, the batteries will discharge very quickly.

Solution:– Change the configuration of the output.– Provide an external power supply for the output.

F01U088582 | 01 | 2008.08 Troubleshooting Guide Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

1.2.2 How do you test a relay module?There are two methods for testing a relay module:

– During initial system configuration (Test All Points), engaging or disengaging the device tamper switch causes the relay module to be enrolled into the system, and to be tested. If the input point of a Relay module is being used, the point must be faulted and then restored to be tested. (This is the same process as for other wLSN points).

– For system maintenance testing, perform a One-Button Test, or test the relay module from the telephone System Maintenance>Test menus.

1.2.3 How do you determine the point numbers that are assigned to wLSN devices during Discovery Mode?The system automatically assigns point numbers when devices are activated during the Walk

Test. You must control the sequence in which the wLSN devices are activated to control the assigned point or output number. You must use caution to ensure that no messages (low battery, faults, restorals, tampers, tamper restorals, and so on) are sent inadvertently from the devices during the initial Point Walk Test. For wLSN motion detectors, mask the detectors

until you want the system to assign their point numbers.

1.2.4 Can I prepare and power wLSN devices before an installation?Yes, but it is not recommended. wLSN devices that are not discovered by a control panel continuously attempt to locate a wLSN Hub. This process rapidly drains the batteries in the devices.For this reason, Bosch Security Systems, Inc. does not recommend installing batteries in wLSN devices until you are ready to place the system in Discovery Mode.

1.2.5 When I initially installed a wLSN siren or relay, I connected an external power source to it. I don't want to use external power anymore. How do I clear the missing AC Trouble condition?After the control panel detects external power on a wLSN device, it always expects the

external power to be present. Deleting and then Adding the device into the system clears the

condition.

1.2.6 I forgot to activate a wLSN device during the Configuration Walk Test. How do I get the system to discover this device?Add points that were not tested by using the Wireless Menu's Add Device command.

1.2.7 I heard the control panel announce a point number during Walk Test, but did not hear that the point number "…was tested". Why can't I make the point normal?For devices that have multiple inputs (for example, door-window contacts), the control panel

must learn which input to monitor. If the input was faulted but not restored, the control panel announces the point number but does not announce that it was tested. Correct this condition

by faulting and restoring the desired input during Walk Test.

1.2.8 How do I know how many wLSN points were discovered by the system?The control panel announces how many wLSN points it discovers, and repeats the announcement every 15 sec until the first device is tested.Pressing [1] while in Walk Test causes the system to announce the number of remaining devices to test, as well as the number of unconfigured devices.

Easy Series Devices | en 13

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Troubleshooting Guide F01U088582 | 01 | 2008.08

1.2.9 When should I default wLSN devices?– When you want to install a device that was installed in a different system.– When the wLSN Hub and control panel were defaulted without deleting all devices from

the control panel first.– To assist with troubleshooting wLSN device problems.

1.2.10 What do the wLSN device LEDs indicate?Refer to Table 1.3 on page 13.

Table 1.3 wLSN Device LED Displays

1.2.11 What should I do if the points connected to the DX2010 do not function during a walk test?Power cycle the system after adding the DX2010 and configuring the points.

1.2.12 What happens if someone defaults a device from a running system?In an 868 MHz system, the system automatically brings the device back into operation.

In a 900 MHz system, you must manually rediscover the device.

2.2.3 How do I configure the wLSN Hub's rotary switches?Refer to Figure 2.1 on page 17.

Figure 2.1 wLSN Hub Switch Settings

2.2.4 How do I default the wLSN Hub?1. Remove the hub from the base.2. Make note of the current rotary switch settings, and then set the switches as follows:

S1 = 9, S2 = 8, S3 = 7. Refer to Figure 2.1 on page 17.3. Reconnect the hub to its base.4. Wait for the hub’s green LED to light and then go dark (approximately 5 sec).5. Disconnect the hub, then reset the rotary switches to the original settings.6. Default the control panel.7. Reconnect the hub to its base.8. Return all devices to an undiscovered state.

2.2.5 Why can’t RF devices get configured in the DX2010’s zone range?As soon as a DX2010 Expander Module is connected to the control panel, all eight zones in the

expander module’s range automatically become unavailable for wireless points.

2.2.6 Why are wireless device configurations 1/2/3 not offered in the menu?The wireless data between the control panel and the wLSN Hub are different. Transfer data

from the control panel to the wLSN Hub, or from the wLSN Hub to the control panel.

2.2.7 What happens if someone replaces a detector’s battery?The system automatically starts using the device again.

2.2.8 What happens if two separate wLSN systems within range of each other are discovered at the same time?The systems discover and learn each other’s devices.

To avoid this, discover only one system at a time.

2.2.9 If a building has multiple Easy Series with wLSN systems installed, how do you ensure that the systems don’t interfere with each other?Leave the system(s) that were installed first running while you place the latest system into

discovery mode. This guarantees that the new system chooses the best possible frequency that will avoid interference with the existing systems.

1 - Normal Operation (S1 = 1, S2 = 0, S3 = 0)

2 - RFSS Mode (S1 = 9, S2 = 2, S3 = 0)

3 - Default wLSN Hub (S1 = 9, S2 = 8, S3 = 7)

3 Radio Frequency Signal Strength (RFSS)

3.1 RFSS Symptoms and Solutions

Table 3.1 RFSS Troubleshooting Symptoms

3.1.1 The Received Signal Strength (RSS) was good at all wLSN device installation locations, but the control panel was not able to successfully discover all devices.

Cause:Several, including:– Device was not removed from the control panel– Device is not defaulted– Device batteries are low, missing, or the battery tab was not removed– Device is out of RF range

Solution:Try the following actions:1. Delete the desired device using the installer's wireless menu, Option 3 (Delete Wireless

Devices).2. If it is necessary to manually default a wLSN point, do so only after deleting the point

from the control panel. You can then force the system to rediscover and configure the wLSN points by executing the Add Device command from the Wireless Devices telephone menu.

3. Ensure that known good batteries are properly installed in the device, and the battery tab is removed.

4. Check your readings with the Installation Tool. To properly use the Installation Tool, measure the signal in various locations by slowly moving the tool in several directions (up and down, left and right), holding the Installation Tool still in each location for at least 10 sec. Whenever possible, place the Installation Tool on a surface and step back from the Tool while reading it so that your body does not affect the dB readings.If the results for SNR fluctuate significantly, the location is:– OK if you subtract the dB difference between the highest (H) result and the lowest

(L) result from the lowest (L) result, and the number equals more than 13 dB. Confirm that the location is OK by testing with the actual wireless device for this location. (L - (H - L) >= 13 dB = OK)

– Not OK if you subtract the dB difference between the highest (H) result and the lowest (L) result from the lowest (L) result and the number equals less than 13 dB.(L - (H - L) <= 13 dB = Not OK) Use the Installation Tool to find a suitable location and re-install the device.

3.1.2 The control center flashes and announces “Wireless receiver jammed 50”. If the Wireless Receiver Jammed Report (Item Number 367) is enabled, the report is also sent to the central station.

Cause:The signal between the wLSN Hub and a wLSN device is weak, causing the Hub to report the device missing intermittently. The control panel interprets this behavior as jamming event at the wLSN Hub.

Solution:– If a device has reported missing, that is probably the device causing this symptom. Install

that device in a different location that provides a stronger signal with the wLSN Hub.– If the system had been working reliably and this is a new problem, determine if anything

has changed in the home that is generating new RF interference.

3.2 RFSS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Table 3.2 RFSS FAQs

3.2.1 What do I need to do to optimize the wLSN system's reliability?SNR and RSS are the key to wLSN reliability. Installing wLSN devices in locations that would require radio signals to pass through materials such as cement, brick, stone, or metal decreases system reliability. Whenever possible, install the wLSN Hub and the wLSN devices on the same side of walls made from these materials. Also, do not install the wLSN Hub within 15 cm (6 in.) of the control panel's metal enclosure.

3.2.2 How do I translate the telephone menu's SNR HEX value into a decimal value?Multiply the first digit x 16, then add the second digit.The HEX values are:– A = 10– B = 11– C = 12– D = 13– E = 14– F = 15For example, if the telephone menu's SNR HEX value is 2A, then:(2 x 16) + 10 = 42.

3.2.3 Why doesn’t RFSS Mode work with some detectors?RFSS Mode only works with defaulted devices, which therefore the system has not discovered.
