SPECCHI

Carefully follow all operating regulations applicable to the installing of electrical and security system, further to the specifications supplied by the manufacturer in the instruction manual which comes with the products.
Provide the operators with all the instructions for use and the limits of the installed system, specifying that there are specific standards and different levels of safety performance that must be adjusted to the relative user requirements.
Make sure the operator acknowledges the warnings provided in this document.
FOR THE OPERATOR:
Periodically and carefully check that the system is functional and the enabling and disenabling procedures are performed correctly.
Perform period maintenance on the system using specialised personnel who have the qualifications foreseen by the laws in force. Ask the installer to check the adequacy of the system if any operating conditions change (e.g. variations in the extension of the areas to be protected, change in the access procedures etc...)
This device has been designed, built and tested with maximum care, adopting control procedures which all conform to the regulations in force. Full compliance of the functional characteristics is exclusively achieved in the case where its use is limited to the functions it was designed for, and that is:
RF transmitters
for wireless burglar alarm systems using GW 20470 and GW GW20481 control units
No other use or implementation is contemplated and it is therefore impossible to guarantee it will function correctly.
The production processes are carefully supervised to prevent defects and malfunctions; nevertheless the components used are subject to extremely low percentages of faults, as in the case of all electronic or mechanical part. Due to the destination of use of this device (protection of persons and things) we invite the user to adjust the levels of protection provided by the system to the actual risk levels in loco (assessing the possibility that this system can operate in a degraded manner due to malfunctions or faults etc) bearing in mind that there are precise regulations foreseen for the planning and installation of systems destined to this type of application.
The attention of the operator (system user) is recalled to the need to perform regular periodic maintenance on the system, and at least comply with what foreseen by the regulations in force, and also check, at intervals which are appropriate to the risk levels, that the system functions correctly, testing the signals on the control unit, the sensors, acoustic alarms, telephone combiners and all other connected devices. On completing the periodic controls, the operator must promptly notify the installer of the results.
The planning, installation and maintenance of the systems incorporated in this product are reserved to personnel who are duly trained and qualified to operate in a secure manner in compliance with accident prevention regulations. It is essential that they are installed in compliance with the regulations in force. The internal parts of some devices are connected to the mains and therefore there is a risk of electrocution in the case where maintenance operations are performed without disconnecting both the primary and emergency power supplies. Some products use rechargeable or normal batteries for emergency power supplies. If they are connected incorrectly it could damage the product, damage things and endanger the situation of the operator (explosions and fires).
The device is also compatible with the new burglar alarm control unit GW 10 931; for the configuration, refer to the control unit programming manual.
Stamp of the installer company:
1. INTRODUCTION
This transmitter is used to control door and window frames or perimeter access guarding devices managed by wireless systems which use GW 20470 and GW 20481 control units.
The main characteristics are the following:
- It incorporates a magnetic contact and transmits every time that the magnet, which touches the mobile part of the frame, is moved away (frame open) and towards (frame closed) the same.
- It transmits low battery and tamper status; a monitoring transmission is generated every 30 minutes which can not be modified. It runs on a 3.6V Lithium battery (Lithium – Thionyl Chloride) which has a predicted operating life of 4 years. It has a preset ID code generated from a base of over 2 billion combinations (2 ^31 ).
- Transmission on frequency foreseen for low power devices (LPD).
- It has an operating range of 100 metres in open field; the actual range can alter according to installation and operating conditions.
- The radio signal is compatible with the GW20470 and GW20481 control units.

The GW 20478 is a component for wireless burglar alarm systems using GW 20470 and GW 20481 control units.
It complies to the following Standards: CEI 79-16, CEI 79-2, ETSI 300-220, ETSI 301 489, EN 50130-4, EN 55022, EN 60950, 89/336/CEE, 73/23/CEE, EN 50131-1.

NOTE: the illustration shows the recommended orientation for the transmitter to achieve the best possible wireless signal. Using the transmitter with the GW20470 or GW20481 control units, it is possible to obtain the best signal by observing the LED indicator bar on the front panel before fixing the transmitter in its final position.
ATTENTION: The GW 20478 transmitter is only suitable for installation inside the areas to be protected, it should not be installed in positions where it is exposed to condensation, for instance on a balcony.
ATTENTION: The magnetic contact only works on the side where the indicator led is located.

5. FIRST POWER-UP PROCEDURE
Great care must be taken when powering up the GW 20478 transmitter for the first time, please follow the procedure below step by step:
1) Remove the insulating protection tab from the battery, as seen in the Fig. above.
2) Press and release the Tamper button 3-4 times.
3) Reset any low battery signals in the control unit or the compatible reception device.
WARNING: when new batteries are used, or batteries that have not been used for a long time, they may generate a low battery error message during power-up. This is caused by the chemical composition of the Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries and can be resolved by following the instructions above. If the battery is to be exposed to low temperatures, it is recommended to store the battery at room temperature before loading it.
6. MEMORIZING THE CODE
6.1 Procedure for memorizing a GW20478 transmitter on the GW20470 and GW20481 control units.
A. Open the transmitter's plastic casing.
B. Check it is powered correctly by removing the battery protection tab.
C. Enter the programme menu on the control unit and go the wireless device learning section.
D. Cause a transmission by pressing and releasing for instance the Tamper button, once the transmitter code has been memorized proceed to the menu to assign the relative attributes to the device in question.
E. Install the transmitter in permitted positions, to this purpose please refer to the drawings in the chapter 'INSTALLATION', and check it to ensure it works correctly with some test transmissions.
F. Close the transmitter casing checking that the Tamper button is in the correct position.
WARNING: If the casing is not closed properly, there will be a malfunction in the Tamper circuit which will activate a tamper alarm during each supervision transmission and every time the magnetic contact sends an open/close transmission signal.
7. REPLACEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
The transmitter uses a 3.6V 1.2Ah Lithium battery - ER14250 or LS1425 (1/2AA), and must only be replaced with a new one of the same model.
When loading the battery follow the instructions below carefully:
1) Remove the dead battery.
2) Press and release the Tamper button 3-4 times to discharge any condensers which may still be charged.
3) Load the new battery.
4) Press and release the Tamper button 3-4 times.
5) Reset any low battery signals in the control unit or the compatible reception device.
The old batteries must be disposed of according to the laws in force using the specific collection bins.
The disposal of the transmitter must be implemented in compliance with the laws in force in the country where the system is installed.
7. INSTALLATION
The installation of the sensors must comply with a number of rules to avoid a decrease in performance due to placement errors, in fact it is vital to accurately define the operative area of the receiver system within which the sensor is installed, the actual range of the sensors and the correct installation paying particular attention to the type of materials used to build the premises.
The drawings below show correct and incorrect installation positions, objects that can decrease RF signals and the obstruction caused by some building materials.
