The exit of the setup menus can be done at any time with pressing the programming button on the
control PCB - see item 6, position 4. The exit is also automatic after 2 minutes if there is no
activity with the module (pressed operation button).
12. Enrolling of Wireless Devices
Natron WE-A wireless expander (network gateway) module supports operation with Natron series
wireless devices. The enrolment algorithm is common for all devices.
1. Prepare the device for enrolment. Remove the mounting base to access the PCB with the
batteries compartment. The batteries of all new devices are protected from activation with a folio
strip.
Note: If the device is not new, you have to reset it before enrolment to the module. To reset a
device, power it on with the batteries and after that press and hold ENROLL button for 5-7
seconds. The reset is complete when the LEDs of the device flash 3 times in green, followed from
1 long flash in red and 1 long flash in green.
2. Enter in programming mode of Natron WE-A. Select menu 1. ADD DEVICE and press ENTER
button. A list with already enrolled devices is shown on the screen with an order number and type
of the device: SD (optical-smoke detector), TD (heat detector), MD (combined detector), MCP
(manual call point), WSS (sounder with strobe), MIO (input-output module) –you can find detailed
information about the wireless devices in their installation manuals.
3. Scroll down to find a free address to enroll the device. The free address is labeled as EMPTY.
4. Press ENTER button. Message SEARCHING >>> (arrows are blinking) appears on the screen
showing that the module is scanning for signals from wireless device in its covering range.
Note: If there is no signal from the device in 2-minute period, the module will exit automatically the
programming mode.
5. Power on the wireless device. If the device is new just remove the protective folio from the
batteries –the enrolling process starts automatically. If the device is powered and reset - single
press the ENROLL button. The LEDs of the device start flashing in red.
6. In case of successful enrolment, the LEDs of the device flash 3 times in green, the message
DONE appears on the screen and then the module automatically moves to the next free address
in the list. The enrolled wireless device is added to the list with its specific type.
7. Test the signal strength between the wireless device and the expander (network gateway)
module. Single press the ENROLL button of the device and wait for the LED indication:
- 3 flashes in green –excellent signal strength;
- 3 flashes in orange –good signal strength; but, if possible, change the place of installation;
- 3 flashes in red –poor signal strength; it is obligatory to change the place of installation.
You can also check the signal quality for the device in 4. DEVICE RSSI menu –see item 15.
8. If the signal quality and strength are excellent or good, mount the device at installation place*.
9. In iRIS8/iRIS4 programming menus, find the new enrolled wireless device and save it with
APPLY button to the system configuration*.
* Refer to the installation manual of the device for detailed information.
