Product Information:

Specifications:

  • Manufacturer: Honeywell
  • Power Source: CR123A 3V Batteries
  • Required Tools: Small Flathead Screwdriver, Windows Laptop with
    SWIFT Tools

Product Usage Instructions:

1. Required Tools and Equipment:

To perform the RF Scan Test, you will need the following:

  • CR123A 3V Batteries (Panasonic or Duracell)
  • Small Flathead Screwdriver
  • 2 or more SWIFT Devices in factory default settings
  • SWIFT Bases for Detectors
  • Windows Laptop with SWIFT Tools

2. Before Performing a RF Scan Test:

Ensure that all devices are in factory default mode by setting
the code wheels to 000 and inserting a battery into each device.
The LED should blink red if the device is in factory default. If
not, follow the reset process.

3. Reset Devices to Factory Default:

Using SWIFT tools or manually with a screwdriver, reset the
devices to factory default settings. Follow the steps provided in
the manual to reset each device.

4. Wireless Device Preparation:

Tamper with each device by removing the base or cover plate and
batteries. Use a screwdriver to address each device with unique
addresses between 101-159 in ascending order.

5. Conduct Link Test:

Insert batteries into devices starting with the lowest address
and observe the LED patterns for each device. Take the device to
its installation location for accurate Link & RF Scan
tests.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How do I know if a device is in factory default mode?

A: Insert a battery into the device with code wheels set to 000.
The LED should blink red to indicate factory default status.

Q: What do I do if a device is not in factory default
mode?

A: Follow the reset process using SWIFT tools or manually with a
screwdriver as outlined in the manual.

Q: How should I address each wireless device?

A: Use a small flathead screwdriver to assign addresses between
101-159 in ascending order to each device for proper functioning
during tests.

BEFORE PERFORMING A RF SCAN TEST

Make sure devices are in

+

Factory Default

With the code wheels set to 000, insert one

­

battery into the device. The LED on the front

will blink red if the device is in factory default.

If the device is not in factory default, follow the process on the next page.

If the devices are new out of the box, they will be in factory default. Proceed to page 5.

RESET DEVICES TO FACTORY DEFAULT

Using SWIFT tools:
1. Insert the W USB dongle into your computer and launch the SWIFT Tools application.
2. On the home screen you can select Site Survey, Create Mesh Network, or Diagnostics.
3. Click Operations and select Set device to factory default.
4. You are now on the Reset Devices screen. Select the desired device, and click Reset.

Manually:

1. Start with the device powered off.

2. Insert one single battery into any slot in the device. The LED will blink yellow once every 5 seconds for a minute.

3. Turn the SLC address wheels using a common screwdriver to 0, then to 159, then back to 0.

4. The device will blink green five times,

followed by a single or double red blink.

This is your confirmation the device is now

A

on factory default.

WIRELESS DEVICE PREP
1 Tamper each device by removing the base or
cover plate and remove batteries.
+ ­
2 Use a small flathead screwdriver
to address each device. Addresses must be between 101 159 and must be in ascending order. For example, if the first device is addressed 101, the second device should be 102. When the test begins the devices will first perform a Link Test followed by the RF Scan Test.

CONDUCT LINK TEST

1 Insert one battery to power up the
device with the lowest address. +
Note: You can insert the battery into ­
any slot on the device. Also, once the battery is inserted the device LEDs will blink red twice every 5 seconds. If the device is not showing this pattern, it must be set to factory default, see previous page.

2 Take the device to the exact
location where you plan to install it, in order to increase accuracy of the Link & RF Scan.

3 Twist the device into its base.

4 Observe LED pattern.
It will blink yellow once every half second for about 20 seconds. Then turn solid red. The device is now ready to perform a Link Test to the device with the next highest SLC address. This device will be setup in step 5. The device will then perform an RF Scan.

5 Insert one battery to power up the
device with the next highest address. +
For example: 102 if the first device ­
that was placed was 101.

10 CONDUCT RF SCAN
After 5 minutes, the device will transition to the RF Scan. The scan will run for no more than 70 minutes. Progress and results of the RF Scan will be shown with the LEDs. Note: If no RF channels are available, the blink patterns that are shown below will blink red instead of green. RF Scan Test progress 7 7 blinks every 30 seconds = 70 minutes until completion 6 6 blinks every 30 seconds = 60 minutes until completion 5 5 blinks every 30 seconds = 50 minutes until completion 4 4 blinks every 30 seconds = 40 minutes until completion 3 3 blinks every 30 seconds = 30 minutes until completion 2 2 blinks every 30 seconds = 20 minutes until completion 1 1 blinks every 30 seconds = 10 minutes until completion RF Scan Test results
Solid Green = Good Sold Red = Poor
11 To test additional devices while the first and second devices are
mounted, follow steps 5 9, but use SLC addresses that are higher then those that are currently testing. These addresses must also be in ascending order.
