Wireless Devices

In this mode, the devices are not associated with the gateway. A profile must be assigned to associate the device with the gateway. For 
further information on assigning a profile, refer to “Assigning a Profile to a Device (Detector or Module) Using a Gateway or Distribu-
tor” on page 31. A device cannot perform any fire protection in the factory default state. In default mode, the devices will be viewable in 

the communicator window of SWIFT Tools with the state displayed as “Factory Default”. A device in factory default can be used for site 
survey.

A site survey assesses and qualifies a site for installing a SWIFT network. The site survey view in SWIFT Tools gives the Radio Fre-
quency (RF) assessment of the site. The tool reports the suggested device spacing based on the data collected during the site survey. This 

helps to improve the reliability and performance of a SWIFT network in the wireless fire alarm system. A device cannot perform any fire 
protection in the site survey mode. A device that is ready to enter site survey will indicate “pending site survey” in the communicator 
section of SWIFT Tools. A device in site survey will not communicate with SWIFT Tools and will be listed as “offline” in the communi-

cator section. For more information on performing a site survey, refer to Appendix B.

In this mode, devices are associated with the gateway but are not active participants in the mesh network. A device that is not in the tam-
pered state can join a mesh network in formation or during rescue mode. For further information on mesh formation, refer to “Mesh For-

mation Mode” on page 35. For more information on rescue mode, refer to “Rescue Mode” on page 35. A device with an assigned profile 
can also be used to distribute profiles. Refer to Section 3.5.2. 
Devices are not enabled for fire protection until they become part of a mesh network. A device will show a or no answer/missing at the 

FACP. 
In this mode, devices are viewable in the communicator window of SWIFT Tools. If the device has a profile and is in the tampered state, 
it will indicate a status as “Profile Assigned-Tamper”. A non-tampered device will indicate “active scan” as it searches for a mesh net-

work.

In this mode, a device is ready for an update. It cannot participate in a mesh network and cannot provide fire protection. The device is 
viewable in the communicator window of SWIFT Tools with the status “Bootloader”. To remove a device from bootloader mode, refer to 

In this mode, a device is functioning as a profile distributor. The device cannot participate in a mesh network and cannot provide fire pro-
tection while it is in distributor mode. A device in distributor mode will be used as a mobile unit to share the profile with other devices. 

The distributing device will be available in the communicator window of the SWIFT Tools with the status “Distributor”. For more infor-
mation, refer to Section 3.5.2.

Devices that are in the mesh network no longer communicate directly with SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must communicate with the 

gateway for status information on a device that has joined a mesh. The gateway will respond to the FACP for the device at the address set 
with the SLC rotary address wheels.



In this mode, a device is an active participant in a mesh that is forming. The LED will blink green then yellow every 6 seconds. The 
device cannot perform any fire protection in this state. The device responds to its SLC address with an “INITIALIZING” trouble. For 

further information on mesh formation mode, refer to “Section 3.5.3”.



In this mode, the mesh network is formed and is in the process of establishing stronger communication paths. The LED will blink yellow 
every 6 seconds. The device cannot perform any fire protection in this state. The device responds to its SLC address with a “INITIALIZ-
ING” trouble.



In normal mode, the mesh network is formed and provides fire protection. The LED will blink every 18 seconds. The LED flash can be 
disabled by panel configuration. If a device is in trouble, it is indicated by the trouble messages. 



In rescue mode, a devices is an active participant of a mesh network. It will search and retrieve any device that has lost communication 

with the network. Rescue mode is indicated by an LED blink every 12 seconds.
