AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual
AES Corporation 25 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
3.7 Power Up
Note: When a unit is powered up, it immediately attempts to enroll itself on an
available IntelliNet network, generating signals to the central station. Central Station
operators must be forewarned of this activity to minimize the chance of false alarms.
To avoid possibly unknown signals from a unit that its programming is not positively
known, disconnect the DB-9 connector from the transceiver before powering the unit.
This is a highly recommended procedure to adopt in all cases until programming is
complete and confirmed. Be aware that the unit may have been installed at another
installation still having that ID for which you would not want alarm signals sent
causing a false report and dispatch to the other site.
If using a programmer, connect it to J1/Programmer jack on the 7788F board. (See
Diagram 3) With the 16.5V transformer de-energized or unplugged, connect the
terminals of the 12VDC battery to the Red Positive (+) and Black Negative (-) battery
leads from the BAT section on the 7788F board. The unit will energize.
Plug in or energize the transformer. Be certain that the power supply’s power source
is connected to a dedicated branch circuit. After AC power is energized, push the
Reset button on the 7788F for a fresh restart of the program. The controller runs a
“self test”.
After a few seconds, a message will appear on the handheld programmer:
SELFTEST-PASS (or FAIL ###)
SUB [rev#] 7788F
ID#: [4 digit ID number] (C)YYYY AES
If the message reads SELFTEST - PASS, you may proceed with programming the
unit. Note that the current ID# for this unit is displayed, as well as the firmware
version (rev#) and copyright date (YYYY). If the message reads SELFTEST - FAIL
[Error Code], retry the procedure by pushing the controller RESET button. If the Fail
message persists, refer to Status Error Codes listed on the following page, for
explanation and resolution.
Note: 001 = low battery. 100 = AC fail. 101 = AC fail with low battery. If the
message reads SELFTEST – FAIL 001, you may proceed with programming the unit
if the reported condition is expected and you know or feel that the battery has
sufficient capacity to complete programming.
