INTRODUCTION
This guide is designed to help you get your WES3 system up and running
as soon as possible.
This guide covers how to easily setup your system using the WES3 Base Station,
which is the central control for your whole system. There is also a Trouble
Shooting section which outlines some basic issues that could be encountered.
Signing up to the ‘VIP’ area of the ramtechglobal.com website will allow you
access to various ‘How To’ videos related to the system in addition to other
literature, such as a complete User Guide and Operation Manual.

SETTING UP WES3
Installing WES3 on your site is easy. You will need to start by activate / powering
on each unit and add the units to the group so that they can communicate
with each other.
1INITIAL SETUP
STEP 1 Activate and power on
To activate/power on the WES3 Base Station unit, hold down ‘A’ and press
‘B’ three times in quick succession. All three LEDs will illuminate and then the
amber LED will ash.
Initial setup of the WES3 Base Station is through a series of on-screen options.
Language, Inspection Delay and Pre-Alarm mode options can be congured
STEP 2 Language selection
Select language - the available options are English, German, French, Spanish,
Italian and Swedish. Language settings can be changed at any time.
STEP 3 Set inspection delay
The Inspection Delay setting allows an optional delay period between
triggering a Call Point and the site wide alarm being raised.
The default setting is 00 minutes (i.e. no delay), but can be set in 1 minute
increments up to a maximum 10 minutes.
A conrmation screen will be displayed to validate the settings. The Inspection
Delay can only be set during the initial activation process.

STEP 4 Pre-alarm function
The Pre Alarm function denes site-wide behaviour of the network during an
Inspection Delay period.
With Pre Alarm mode enabled, the entire network will emit a site-wide,
intermittent sound and (on strobe-equipped call points) an intermittent ash.
With Pre Alarm mode disabled, only the local call point which has been
triggered will sound. All other call points around site will remain in non-alarm
mode.
Pre Alarm can only be set during the initial activation process. Once set, the
Pre Alarm can only be changed by turning o and reactivating the WES3 Base
Station.
On completion of initial set up, settings for Inspection Delay and Pre Alarm
mode are displayed on the Base Station home screen.
Check the settings displayed on screen are the desired settings, and if not,
repeat the Initial Setup process before proceeding. The display is shown for the
WES3 Base Station is shown below.

2ACTIVATE UNITS
To activate any WES3 unit, hold down ‘A’ and press ‘B’ three times in quick succession.
All three LEDs will briey illuminate and then the amber LED will ash.
This operation activates the unit – no radio connection is established at this point.
3UNIT NUMBERING
Activated Call points, Detectors, and other WES3 units can be added to create a WES3
network using the Unit Numbering process.
During Unit numbering, WES3 devices receive details of network conguration from the
WES3 Base Station, including Inspection Delay and Pre Alarm settings. This is the only
way of creating and adding to a WES3 network.
Access the Settings Menu on the WES3 Base Station home screen. The Settings menu
can be accessed from the Main Menu by selecting Settings with the directional pad
then pressing Enter.
You’ll be required to enter the PIN code before proceeding. This is set as default to
1234, but can be changed (refer to WES3 Installation and Operation Manual).
From the Settings menu select the rst option, Unit Numbering: Ensure that any WES3
devices to be paired are activated and has an amber ashing LED. This indicates the
unit is ready to pair.
Units can be numbered with any three of four digit number (depending on rmware
version) from 001 to 9999 in accordance with your site plan. Numbering allows
messages and alerts during operation to be referenced to a specic unit location on
site, using the construction project site plan.
From the Unit Numbering screen, use the up and down arrows to select the desired
number for your rst unit.
Press and hold ‘A’ on both units. The amber LEDs will illuminate followed by the
green LEDs to indicate that the units have been successfully paired and a site group
created. Release the ‘A’ buttons.
After successfully numbering a unit, change the number displayed on the WES3 Base
Station and repeat the process above for all required units.
If the red LED illuminates, pairing has failed. Ensure the unit to be numbered is
activated, and repeat the Unit Numbering process.

4ADD UNITS TO AN EXISTING SITE GROUP
Repeat sections 2 and 3.
5POSITION UNITS
Once activated and paired, WES3 units can be installed on site. Ensure any
applicable local guidelines or standards regarding locating units on site are adhered
to, such as BS 5839-1 in the UK.
Wherever possible, avoid positioning the unit directly adjacent to metal frames,
electric cables and similar equipment that may interfere with the signal strength.
6SECURELY FIX THE UNITS IN PLACE
Each WES3 unit must be securely xed in place and the tamper switch on the rear of
the unit must be in contact with the wall or ceiling.
Detector units are ceiling mounted and intended for indoor use only. Ensure a risk
assessment has been carried out and all reasonable safety precautions are in place
before commencing work.
Call Points must be securely xed, with the antenna upright, to a robust vertical
surface such as a wall or trolley. Where the existing surface is unsuitable for direct
xing, use backing board such as plywood or similar sheet material.
Each unit should be securely mounted using its two integrated mounting points
with M4 x 50mm pan head screws and wall plugs or other xings selected for the
particular wall or ceiling type.

For more information on System Test, refer to the full WES3
User Guide and Operation Manual available in the VIP area of
ramtechglobal.com.
Note: Following initial installation, wait for a minimum of 60
minutes before starting the rst system test. During this time,
the WES3 units will self-calibrate to adjust for background radio
noise which may impact the accuracy of the system test.
Note: Powering o the WES3 CONNECT unit will reset the entire
system as a ‘factory reset’, so avoid powering o
unless necessary.

7TEST THE SYSTEM
After installation of the units, it is essential to perform a system alarm test to
conrm proper operation of the system. Following initial installation, wait for a
minimum of 60 minutes before starting the rst system test.
The System Test is started from the WES3 Base Station Settings Menu. The
access code is required to access the Settings Menu. The default PIN number is
1234. From the Settings Menu, select System Test to start test mode.
The WES3 Base Station will display a conrmation message that the test has
started. Walk the site to check all units in the network.
During System Test mode, the WES3 network isolates all devices in the network,
allowing full physical test of each unit, without activating the site-wide alarm.
Once the System Test is complete, return to the WES3 Base Station and press
the button to complete the test and exit System Test mode.
The test result is indicated as follows:
Pass Green LED solid illumination
Radio OK, other fault
detected
Red LED ashes followed by Amber
LED group ashes to indicate fault
(see ‘Amber LED Indication’).
No Radio Signal
Amber LED group ashes to
indicate fault (see ‘Amber LED
indication’).

It is important to be aware that, whilst in System Test mode, the WES3 network is
inactive and a site-wide alarm cannot be triggered from any unit. System Test mode
must be exited from the Base Station in order to reactivate the network.
