When I press a button on the controller it displays “Cd”
The keypad has been locked and the controller is prompting you to enter the security code.
To unlock, refer to the “Locking the Keypad” section further on. If you do not know what
code has been set, use the preset code 3142. Once the keypad is active, select command
code option 00 and enter a new code 00 to disable the lock function.
System Configuration
I want to connect a timer to release all doors during the night time
This can be done using the fault input to the controller if it is spare. Please consult your
Salamander system installer / maintainer.
Note that in the controller default setting there will be a 30 minute delay before the doors
switch back on unless the Activate button is pressed. To remove the 30 minute reset delay,
enter command mode, select option 08 and press release. This toggles the reset delay
between 60 (30 minute delay, default setting) or 01 (no delay). With a 01 delay, once the
timer contacts close, the controller will reset at the next 32 second broadcast.
When this method is used to retain the doors, a fire alarm state triggered by the fire alarm
panel will override a period of door release and will show as “AL” on the control panel
display. If this state is cleared before the time for holding the doors again, “FA” will again be
displayed on the control panel and the doors will re-hold correctly at the end of the door
release period.
During Use
After a fire test or false alarm, the controller displays “AL”, and the doors will not hold
Press Activate to clear the alarm on controller, otherwise the alarm will automatically clear
after 30 minutes. If this is inconvenient, the reset time can be reduced to zero by selecting
command option 8 on the controller.
Some doors keep releasing for no reason
The units in question are not receiving a consistent radio signal and are failing safe. This will
also lead to premature battery failure. Consult your Salamander system installer /
maintainer.
The controller is flashing the Low Signal LED but the door holder indicated is still working
The unit number on the display has not replied to the controller. If the unit continues to
operate correctly, and the warning eventually clears by itself, there is no cause for concern.
Pressing the black button to release the door, or performing the weekly fire test, will confirm
if this unit is still operating. If it seems unresponsive, unscrew the battery cover then take the
batteries out. Wait 10 seconds for the electronics to discharge before then replacing the
batteries and refitting the battery cover. Check that the unit turns on to hold the door; this
may take up to 30 seconds. If this warning appears or the unit becomes unresponsive
regularly, consult your Salamander system installer / maintainer.
