Editable fields for WPA

DESCRIPTION

Enter a description to uniquely identify the WPA.

TRANSMITTER ID

Enter the WPA ID. The panel will not accept a WPA if the WPA ID is already in use.

FUNC. TO BUTTONS

Use this section to assign functions to button combinations. Available functions are Panic, Panic Silent, Holdup, Suspicion, RF User Output, Medical. More than one button combination can be selected for the same function. For example:

  • Yellow = Suspicion

  • Red + Green = Holdup

  • For Commercial or Domestic installations, the default is: Red + Green = Panic

Note: If no function is assigned to a button combination, it is still possible to use that combination by using a trigger. See Triggers.

SUPERVISION

The WPA may be configured to send periodic supervision signals. If supervision is enabled on the WPA (with the jumper), the WPA sends out a supervision message about every 7.5 minutes. The time between messages is randomized to decrease the chances of collision with other WPAs.

The supervision function must be enabled on the panel for the particular WPA for correct supervision operation. If the panel does not get a supervision signal, it raises an alarm that is shown in the keypad and logged.

If supervision is not enabled, the WPA sends out a supervision message about every 24 hours to transmit the WPA battery status to the panel. The message interval is randomized to decrease the chances of collision with other WPAs.

Select ENABLE if supervision has been enabled for that particular WPA.

TEST

Enables testing of the WPA signal.
