Digital Monitoring Products Inc PC0134 User Manual

Observe polarity when installing the battery.  Use only 3.0V lithium batteries,  DMP Model CR123-FIRE or Panasonic 

Model CR123A.    
Note: When setting up a wireless system, it is 

1.  Slide the battery compartment cover away 

from the detector to unsnap it and lift it off.  

See Figure 4.

2.  If replacing the battery, remove the old 

battery and dispose of them properly.

3.  Observing correct polarity, insert the new 3V 

lithium battery into the battery compartment 

and replace the cover.  Use only new 

batteries when replacing old ones.

4.  Reattach the detector to the mounting base.  

See Attaching and Removing the Detector.

5.  Test the detector.  See Testing the Detector.

  Caution: Properly dispose of used batteries. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or 

 

incinerate.   Risk of fire, explosion, and burns.

The 1183 Series detectors provide a test button to verify the detector operation.  

1.  To test the detector, first enable Walk Test operation on the control 

panel.  If the system is monitored, the system sends a System Test Begin 

report (System message S66) to the central station.  

 

To conduct the Walk Test, reset the control panel by momentarily 

placing a jumper on J16.  From the keypad, enter the code 8144. The 

keypad displays WALK TEST.  Refer to the panel programming guide for 

complete information on Walk Test operation.

2.  For the XTL or XT30/XT50 Series panels, select STD (Standard Walk Test).  

For the XR100/XR500 Series panels, select FI (Fire zones).  A sensor reset 

occurs after each detector tested.

3.  Remove the cover over the test button opening and insert a small 

screwdriver in the test button opening and press the test button.  The 

detector sends an alarm signal to the control panel.  Verify that the walk 

test trip counter increments to indicate a successful test.  Once testing 

is completed, replace the cover over the test button opening.

4.  Select END to stop the Walk Test.  When the Walk Test ends or a 

20-minute time-out expires, a final Sensor Reset occurs. The System Test 

End message (System message S67) is sent to the central station along 

with verify and fail messages for each zone under test.  Faulted zones 

then display on the keypad.

Important: The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be verified for a complete test of the system.  

See the panel programming guide for additional information.

Typical battery life expectancy for DMP wireless heat detectors is at least 2 years.  DMP wireless equipment uses 

two-way communication to extend battery life.  
The following situations can reduce battery life expectancy:

•  If a receiver is unplugged or not installed.
•  Frequent transmissions, such as how often the detector is tested.
•  When installed in extreme hot or cold environments.
