General Information
The Model 4003 is designed for use with Sentrol's 4000 Wireless System, requiring a receiver with Revision J or later software. It is programmed as an RF User Device, not a point, meaning it does not occupy a zone on the control panel. It functions similarly to a user passcode from a keypad and can be restricted by "Authority Level" and "Areas of Operation" as per control programming instructions.
The "OFF" button is fixed for disarming. The "A" and "C" buttons can be programmed for functions such as Arming, Panic, Aux/Medical, or other ancillary tasks, selected via a "Key Function Option" during programming.
Installation
Battery Installation
The Model 4003 is powered by a 3-volt CR2032 Lithium battery.
- Rotate the battery door on the back of the unit counter-clockwise to remove it.
- Insert the CR2032 battery with the (+) positive marking facing upwards.
- Replace the battery door and rotate it clockwise to secure.
After battery installation, press the "OFF" button twice with a pause between presses. The LED should blink with each press, indicating the transmitter is ready for programming.
Programming
The 4003 Key Fob Transmitter comes pre-programmed with a 6-digit ID Address, found on the back label and the product box. This ID is crucial for programming the device into the RF Gateway Receiver and the Control Panel.
Programming into RF Gateway Receiver:
Select a "Device Number" on the RF Gateway. Program the keypad number, a "Key Function Option Number" (from the "A" and "C" Keys column in the Control's Programming Instructions), and the device's 6-digit ID Address.
Programming into the Control Panel:
Use the last four digits of the ID Address as a user passcode. Consult the Control Panel's Programming Instructions for specific details.
Testing
Testing is essential to ensure proper operation and identify potential "blind" or "non-operational" locations. If such areas are found, moving the device a short distance (up, down, left, or right) may resolve the issue. The device is an omni-directional RF transmitter.
Testing Procedure:
- Test all keys from multiple locations to verify proper operation and Control response.
- Ensure testing covers intended use scenarios (e.g., bedside, car, basement, garden, garage).
- Clearly identify any range or transmission limits found to the user.
- Review the functions of each key with the user.
Low Battery Indication:
When the LED does not blink upon button press, it signifies a low battery. A "Low Battery" message will also appear on the Control keypad. The battery should be replaced promptly.
User Passcode:
The ID Address label on the back contains the user passcode (last four digits of the ID Address). Users may choose to remove and store this label securely.
