Tamper/Low Battery Reporting; Sensor Location Feature - Honeywell SiX Series Installation Instructions Manual

TAMPER/LOW BATTERY REPORTING

The SiXC2W reports this condition to the control. If a low
battery or tamper condition exists all zones used on the
module shows a trouble on the control.
MOUNTING
NOTE: This product must be installed in accordance
with ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
At the existing control panel, label and remove the
1.
zone wires to be transferred to the SiXC2W.
2. Select a mounting position for the module. In most
installations, the best mounting location is close to
the existing control panel.
NOTE: If needed, the SiXC2W can be located
remotely by extending the existing zone wires.
If needed, you may cut and splice (observing good
workmanship) the battery wires and extend their length
up to 3 ft. (0.9 meters) using 22 AWG wire, minimum.
NOTE: DO NOT mount inside the control panel
or oth
er metal enclosure.
Install the center screw to secure the back tamper to
3.
the wall.
4. Attach using the supplied screws.
Ensure the wiring is complete. Use cable ties as
5.
necessary to secure wiring. Plug the power
transformer into an un-switched outlet and secure
with screw. Then attach the backup battery wires.

SENSOR LOCATION FEATURE

To verify the location of each SiX device in an installation, enter programming mode and select a SiX device zone. The
device LED (located on the back) lights (can take up to 30 seconds). Select it again to turn the LED off or select the
next device to locate.
IMPORTANT:
The first battery test occurs 1 hour after power up. To
quickly verify a good backup battery, unplug and then
plug back in the power supply; the system will perform
a battery test within 1 minute.
NOTES:
• All zones used MUST have an EOL resistor.
• EOL resistor values must be from 1k to 10k ohms.
(Eight 2.2k ohm resistors are included for those
panels not using any resistors.)
• If the existing installation zones have EOL resistors
(from 1k to 10k ohms) they may remain.
• When the end of line resistor value is disabled, the
SIXC2W will not look for any end of line resistor
value, however if there are still end of line resistors
in place (up to 10K ohms) they will not need to be
removed unless the installer decides to do so.
• For a NC loop without an EOL resistor, you must
add one in series with the loop. Preferably it should
be located at the end of the loop furthest away
from the control panel for proper supervision.
• For a NO loop without an EOL resistor, you must
add one in parallel (across) the loop. Preferably at
the end of the line (EOL) for proper supervision.
Signal strength: Rang of 1-4 bars (green),
should be a minimum 1 green bar for the
zone being programmed. Four Red Bards
indicate poor signal strength; the device
should be relocated. See the controller's
instruction for bar indication signal strength
values.
