Polling
Polling occurs between the devices and the receiver at a pre-determined interval of 15 minutes. This
helps to conserve battery life. Poll intervals are set to 4 minutes when the system is in Commission
Mode. Please see page 32 for details. The standard poll time is not adjustable. If the system is
powered down for more than 1 hour, the devices will go into an Offline Mode to conserve battery life,
in this case it can take up to 2 hours for all devices to come back online, alternatively each device
should have its tamper circuit opened to force communications. When forcing the devices to come
back online the same setup principles should be used and devices closest to the receiver should be
activated first, this will again allow the mesh network to be established.
System Devices
Auto Mode
Auto Mode is the default device setting for the Prestige XT-W QD-W, and should be used for all
devices where possible. When in Auto Mode, devices poll at 15 minute intervals. Following
activation, devices will not transmit the same activation again for a period of 3 minutes.
Always Awake
This mode should only be used on devices which are required to signal at all times and is the default
setting for the Impaq Contact-W and Impaq Plus-W. For example a Impaq Contac-W on a door
which you need to know is opened, regardless of system state; or devices such as PA buttons &
smoke detectors which have been connected to the inputs of the Magnetic Contact. See page 33 for
details. The number of devices on a system in this mode should be kept to a minimum.
as this is a dynamic bi-directional system any device which is Always Awake has the capability
to shorten battery life of other devices. Please see the Battery Considerations section on page
