Notifier SWIFT Site Survey (Link Test & RF Scan) Quick Start Guide

Required Tools and Equipment

• Small Flathead Screwdriver
• Batteries (CR123A 3v, Panasonic or Duracell) - One per device
• 2 or more SWIFT Devices (must be in factory default)
• SWIFT Bases for Detectors
• Windows Laptop with SWIFT Tools
• W-USB (may require update via SWIFT Tools)

Before Performing a RF Scan Test

Ensure all SWIFT devices are in Factory Default. Devices new out of the box are typically in factory default. If a device's code wheels are set to '000' and a battery is inserted, the LED on the front will blink red if it is in factory default. If not, follow the reset procedure.

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, select Site Survey, Create Mesh Network, or Diagnostics.
3. Click Operations and select Set device to factory default.
4. On the Reset Devices screen, select the desired device and click Reset.

Manually:

1. Start with the device powered off.
2. Insert one battery into any slot. The LED will blink yellow once every 5 seconds for one 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, confirming it is now on factory default.

Wireless Device Prep & Conduct Link Test

Wireless Device Prep:

1. Tamper each device by removing the base or cover plate and removing batteries.
2. Use a small flathead screwdriver to address each device. Addresses must be between 101-159 and in ascending order (e.g., 101, 102).

Conduct Link Test:

1. Insert one battery to power up the device with the lowest address. The device LEDs will blink red twice every 5 seconds if not in factory default.
2. Take the device to the exact location for installation for accurate Link & RF Scan results.
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 ready for a Link Test to the next highest SLC address.
5. Insert one battery to power up the device with the next highest address (e.g., 102 if the first was 101).
6. Take the device to its planned installation location.
7. Twist the device into its base.
8. Observe the Link Test progress: LEDs blink yellow every half second for 20 seconds, then results are shown.
9. Link Test Results:
   • 4 blinks = Excellent link
   • 3 blinks = Good link
   • 2 blinks = Marginal link
   • 1 blink = Poor link
   • Solid Red = No Link
10. Conduct RF Scan: After 5 minutes, the device transitions to RF Scan (max 70 minutes). Progress and results are shown via LEDs. If no RF channels are available, patterns will blink red instead of green.
    • RF Scan Test Progress:
      • 7 blinks every 30s = 70 min until completion
      • 6 blinks every 30s = 60 min until completion
      • 5 blinks every 30s = 50 min until completion
      • 4 blinks every 30s = 40 min until completion
      • 3 blinks every 30s = 30 min until completion
      • 2 blinks every 30s = 20 min until completion
      • 1 blink every 30s = 10 min until completion
    • RF Scan Test Results:
      • Solid Green = Good
      • Solid Red = Poor
11. To test additional devices, follow steps 5-9, using ascending SLC addresses higher than the currently testing devices.

Analyze Link Test & RF Scan Data in SWIFT Tools

1. Insert the W-USB into your laptop's USB slot and open SWIFT Tools.
2. Click 'Create' in the 'Create New Jobsite' section.
3. Enter jobsite name and location/description, then click 'Create'. (An existing jobsite can also be used).
4. Click the 'Start' button under Site Survey.
5. Return devices that completed the Link Test & RF Scan to factory default by placing them in tamper. Caution: Do not place the base or cover plate onto a device in the Pending Site Survey state, as existing results will be replaced.
6. In the Communicator Panel, select the devices you want to retrieve data from.
7. Click the 'Retrieve' button.
8. Once data is retrieved, click the 'Next' button to view Link Test and RF Scan results.
9. View results: Click 'Detailed View' for more details or 'Export to Excel' to export data. Note: RF Scan & Link Quality Test data only appear if a full test was completed.

Site Survey Summary: Evaluates the environment and determines optimal parameters. Provides a summary of aggregated results from all devices.

Link Test Results Summary: Indicates connection quality (Excellent, Good, Poor, No Link).

RF Test Results Summary: Shows Channel Availability (number of available and occupied channels) and Background Noise levels. All channels are available if idle more than 70% of the time monitored.
