Compiling the Unordered Heads list
1. Establish a UCM connection to the gateway (USB or TCP/IP).
2. On the Config tab, select the Sequence button.
3. Select the Record button below the Unordered Heads table and wait for the LM100 gateway to
2. On the Config tab, select the Sequence button.
3. Select the Record button below the Unordered Heads table and wait for the LM100 gateway to
compile the list of unordered heads (this process can take several minutes).
4. Select the Stop button once the compiled list is displayed in the Unordered Heads column.
Verify that all of the installed luminaires have been added to the list to ensure that each
luminaire in the system is communicating properly (e.g., If there are 38 luminaires in your
Senstar LM100 system there should be 38 luminaires in the unordered list.)
If the unordered list is incomplete, repeat this process extending the wait time, before selecting
the stop button. If the list is still incomplete, you must determine which head is not
communicating, and rectify the situation.

Compiling the Ordered Heads list
Location testing is done to identify the physical location of each installed luminaire. Each luminaire
is moved from the Unordered Heads list into the Ordered Heads list in the order that the tests are
conducted. To do the location testing, use a screwdriver (or a length of wood like a broomstick) to
strike the shaft of the luminaire (if it is not possible to strike the luminaire’s shaft, strike the fence
post on which the luminaire is mounted). Strike the shaft once firmly, to register the luminaire in the
Ordered Heads list. This will cause the luminaire to flash twice, pause for a second, and then flash
three times to indicate the luminaire has been moved into the Ordered Heads list. In the Ordered
Heads list, the luminaire is identified by a number indicating the test order and by its 5-digit
network Id (see

1. Select the Record button below the Ordered Heads table and proceed to the designated first
luminaire (usually the luminaire AP).
2. Strike the shaft of the first luminaire firmly once.
The luminaire will flash twice pause and then flash three times.
The number one and the luminaire’s 5 digit Id are displayed at the top of the Ordered Heads
list.

4. Proceed around the perimeter doing a location test at each luminaire, thereby, moving each
luminaire to the Ordered Heads list in the desired sequence.
5. After conducting the test at the final luminaire on the perimeter, return to the UCM computer
and select the Stop button.
6. The Ordered Heads table is now populated by luminaires in the same order that the location
tests were done.
7. Proceed to
