Do you have a question about the Arrowhead Alarm Products RM-8003B and is the answer not in the manual?

The provided document is a manual for an ESL Wireless Kit Expansion Pack, detailing how to integrate various additional security components into an existing system. It covers both hardwired and wireless devices, including PIRs, smoke detectors, radio pendants, and external sirens.

Function Description

The ESL Wireless Kit Expansion Pack allows users to extend the capabilities of their existing ESL wireless security system by adding a variety of sensors and control devices. This expansion pack supports both hardwired and wireless components, providing flexibility in system design. It enables the integration of additional passive infrared (PIR) detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, radio remote controls (pendants), and external sirens (both wired and wireless solar-powered). The manual provides detailed instructions for programming these devices into the system, configuring their operational parameters, and managing user permissions for remote controls.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual references several specific models for expansion:

SWAN QUAD (PIRs): Hardwired passive infrared detectors.
VST-LS881AH (Auto Resetting Smoke Detector): Hardwired photoelectric smoke detector.
DFW-915 (Supervised Wireless PIRs): Wireless passive infrared detectors.
VST-FW-915 (Supervised Wireless Smoke Detector): Wireless smoke detectors.
Radio Pendants:
- RM-8006B: 4-button, 915 MHz with sliding cover.
- RM-8003B: 4-button, 915 MHz.
- It is crucial to ensure the remote's frequency matches the receiver's frequency.
SS-SOLARBELL-AAP (Wireless Solar Powered Satellite): Wireless external siren.
SS-1C (Wired External Siren): Wired external siren.

Resistor Colour Codes for Hardwired Zones:

2K2: Red, Red, Red, Gold (used for hardwired zones).
4K7: Yellow, Violet, Red, Gold (not needed for the diagrams in this manual).
8K2: Grey, Red, Red, Gold (not needed for the diagrams in this manual).

System Capacity:

Up to 80 radio users can be loaded under address 18, slots 21 to 100.
Radio users share user slots with standard pin code users, with a maximum of 100 combined users.
The system supports up to 16 zones for detectors (both hardwired and wireless).

Usage Features

Adding Hardwired Zones:

Only Zones 3 and 4 should be used as hardwired zones, as wireless PIRs are pre-loaded into Zones 1 and 2.
Hardwired PIRs (e.g., SWAN QUAD) are connected to Gnd, 12V, and Zone 3 (or 4) with a 2K2 resistor across EOL Tamper and EOL Relay terminals.
Hardwired Smoke Detectors (e.g., VST-LS881AH) are connected to Gnd, 12V, and Zone 4, with a 2K2 resistor across EOL Tamper and EOL Relay terminals.
Enabling Zones: To use hardwired zones, the wireless zone option must be deactivated in Installer Mode (PROGRAM 122 ENTER, select zone 3-4, turn option 5 OFF).
Changing Entry Delays: Entry delays (0-9999 seconds) can be set for each zone in Installer Mode (PROGRAM 144 ENTER, select zone, enter new time).
Smoke Detector Setup: For smoke detectors, the panel must be configured to recognize the zone as a 24-Hour Fire zone (PROGRAM 123 ENTER, select zone, turn option 5 ON).
Changing Output Pulse Time: The siren's pulse time for smoke alarms can be adjusted (PROGRAM 39 ENTER, select output 1-2, enter new time in 1/10th seconds, e.g., 0.4 seconds for 4).

Adding Radio Zones (DFW-915 PIRs & VST-FW-915 Smoke Detectors):

Only one detector can occupy one zone. If a new device is loaded onto an already used zone, the old device will be wiped.
The two supplied PIRs are pre-loaded into zones 1 and 2.
Loading Radio Detectors: In Installer Mode (PROGRAM 164 ENTER, select zone slot 1-16), the keypad will beep. Open the detector cover (for PIRs) or press and hold the test button for 4 seconds (for smoke detectors). The keypad will triple beep upon successful learning.
Changing Entry Delays: Same as hardwired zones (PROGRAM 144 ENTER, select zone, enter new time).
Smoke Detector Setup: Same as hardwired smoke detectors (PROGRAM 123 ENTER, select zone, turn option 5 ON).
Changing Output Pulse Time: Same as hardwired smoke detectors (PROGRAM 39 ENTER, select output 1-2, enter new time).

Adding More Radio Pendants (RM-8006B & RM-8003B):

Slots 21 to 28 are already assigned to the two supplied pendants; avoid using them for new pendants.
Adding Radio Users: In Installer Mode (PROGRAM 18 ENTER, select slot 29-100), the keypad will beep. Press the button on the pendant to be learned. The keypad will triple beep.
User Permissions: Default permissions allow Arm, Disarm, and Disarm Stay Mode. These can be customized in Installer Mode (PROGRAM 4 ENTER, select user 21-100, turn off unwanted options). Options are: 1=Arm, 2=Arm Stay Mode, 3=Disarm, 4=Disarm Stay Mode.
Radio Pendants Controlling Outputs (e.g., Garage Door):
- Requires an extra relay connected to output 4.
- User Mapping to Outputs (Step 1): In Installer Mode (PROGRAM 12 ENTER, select user 21-100), map the user to output 4.
- User Command to Outputs (Step 2): In Installer Mode (PROGRAM 13 ENTER, select user 21-100), configure the user to turn on output 4.
- User Permissions (Step 3): To prevent the pendant from arming/disarming, modify user permissions (PROGRAM 4 ENTER, select user, turn off options 1, 2, 3, 4).

Adding External Sirens:

Wireless External Siren (SS-SOLARBELL-AAP): These come pre-programmed with the transmitter and do not require learning into the SS-Solarbell unit. Jumpers on the main panel must be in specific positions (indicated in the diagram). Connections are Gnd, 12V, and Tmp Gnd.
Wired External Siren (SS-1C): Connections include Gnd, 12V, Tmp Gnd, Bell, Strobe, and LED. The diagram shows wiring to the main panel's Gnd, 12V, Tmp Gnd, and outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 for Bell, Strobe, and LED functions.

Maintenance Features

Battery Check: Before programming radio detectors, ensure they have a good battery.
Resistor Management: The manual explicitly states that the extra 4K7 and 8K2 resistors included in the expansion pack are not needed for the wiring diagrams provided, only 2K2 resistors are required for hardwired zones.
Device Replacement: If a new device is loaded onto an already used zone, the old device's data will be wiped and replaced, simplifying device management.
