HFW-RI-02
STATIC WIRELESS REMOTE INDICATOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The wireless remote indicator is an output device which, activated by the control panel, switches on its red light in the event of an emergency fire alarm.
The activation command is sent from the control panel to the indicator through the wire to wireless translator interface module and other possible wireless expander modules.

DEVICE’S POWER SUPPLY AND LINKING
The remote indicator device becomes part of the wireless system after only after it is linked to a parent translator or a parent expander.
It is possible to perform the linking in two ways:
– From the translator module interface: it can be done if the system hasn’t got any expanders; nevertheless the suggested “Period of control signals transmission” and “Supervision period” (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS table) cannot be applied.
– Through the “Wirelex Fire” software: if the system has one or more expanders; suggested “Period of control signals trans mission” and “Supervision period” (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS table) parameters can be applied.
EITHER WAY IS LINKED, THIS REMOTE INDICATOR MODEL MUST BE LINKED AS A BATTERY POWERED OUTPUT MODULE.
The following procedure does not change whether is made through the translator or the Wirelex.
- Move the link switch to position “ON”.
- Insert the backup battery into its housing (picture 3).
- Insert the primary battery into its housing; the visual LED indicator switches on accordingly (check “Power up” in table 4).
-
When the translator / expander is looking for a new device for linking, move the link switch to position “1” in order to initiate communication with the translator / expander odule; the visual LED indicator switches on accordingly (see “Programming and linking to the system” in table 2).
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Programming is considered to be completed successfully only if there is an indication of programming success either by the translator or the Wirelex software.
If the linking and programming operation fails, check if mistakes were made with the translator or the Wirelex, remove the batteries, switch alternatively the “ON / 1” switch a few times in order to discharge the internal capacitor and then start again from point 1) re-performing the linking procedure.
COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT
It is possible to assess the wireless communication quality between the wireless remote indicator and the translator / expander by using a testing feature built in the device.
After a successful linking operation, by positioning the link switch on the “ON” position, the device’s LED will start blinking according to table 3.
Always remember to reposition the switch to “1” after the assessment operation: device will NOT work operatively while the switch is set on the “ON” position.
| Communication quality | Assessment | Device’s indication |
| No connection | Fail | Two red blinks |
| Link margin is less than 10 dB | Poor | One red blink |
| Robust communication with link margin from 10 dB to 20 dB | Good | One green blink |
| Robust communication with link margin over 20 dB | Excellent | Two green blinks |

HOW TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL THE FRONT COVER
Remote indicator’s installation requires the device’s top cover to be removed from the its bottom; position the tip of a small screwdriver in the slot portrayed in picture 5, then lever off the cover GENTLY and CAREFULLY.
Reinstalling the cover consists in performing the operation portrayed in picture 6.
DEVICE’S PLACEMENT
For specific information regarding detector and device’s spacing, placement and special applications refer to your specific national standards.
It is strongly advised to mount the device as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors, cables (especially from computers), otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop.
The device should not be installed near electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with the reception’s quality.
- Select the position of the remote indicator before installing and fixing it.
Verify, from that position, that the communication between the device and the translator /expander is correctly established and working (see the COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT paragraph). - Install and fix the device’s rear cover in the selected position using the screws provided in the product’s packaging (picture 7).
- Install the front cover onto the wall-fixed rear cover: see the HOW TO REMOVE AND REIN-STALL THE FRONT COVER paragraph.
BATTERY FAULTS
If a battery fault condition is detected on the wireless remote indicator, a low battery fault message is sent to the control panel and notified to the user by the panel itself. This condition is locally signaled by the module’s status indicator LED (check table 2).
WHEN A LOW BATTERY CONDITION IS INDICATED, BOTH, MAIN AND SECONDARY, BATTERIES MUST BE CHANGED ALTOGETHER.
TAMPER DETECTION FEATURE
The opening of the wireless remote indicator’s case is signaled by the control panel as a tampering attempt; the device’s PCB is equipped with a spring-tactile switch assembly: if the case is closed this spring is kept pressed, but when released (and this occurs if the case is opened) the remote indicator sends a tamper attempt message to the control panel which provides the signalization of such event.
The signalization of this event is automatically revoked a short time after the case is properly closed again.
TESTING
In order to test the functionality of the installed wireless indicator proceed as follows: activate an alarm condition on the control panel (by a call-point or sensor in the installed system): the control panel will lit the alarm indicator.
After each test the device must be reset from the control panel (see the RESET paragraph).
If the test fails check whether the batteries are charged, if mistakes were done previously or even if the system is activated. If the remote indicator’s functionality is hopeless, send back the device to your distributor for repair or substitution.
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
RESET
To reset the wireless remote indicator from alarm it is necessary to reset the system from the control panel: alarm indication will deactivate.
MAINTENANCE
- Before starting any maintenance work (e.g. batteries substitution), disable the system.
- Remove the front cover from the device’s box.
- Perform the planned necessary maintenance operations.
- After the device has been serviced, reinstall correctly the front cover, reactivate the system and check correct operation as described under the TESTING paragraph.
