8. Modes of Operation
Commission Mode
Expander
The expander has a Commission Mode, which when operated ensures secure communications with
devices on the system. Commission Mode is automatically enabled when the expander is in tamper.
When in commission mode the RF signal is attenuated by -6 dB, and will reject weak signals. This
means that when devices are placed into their final locations and communications are established,
you can be sure that the signal path is secure, and robust.
After entering Commission Mode the expander will also instruct the devices to poll in every 4
minutes, rather than the standard 15 minute poll time. The instruction will be sent with the next
available poll to the device.
Device Commission Mode
At any time, when a tamper is generated on a device it will enter commission mode, the devices will
do this regardless of the state of the receiver. Closing the tamper circuit will activate the LED for a
short period of time whilst communication with the receiver is established.
The LED will flash, indicating the device is trying to communicate with the receiver, once
communication is successful the LED will come on solid and then go out.
If the LED does not flash but simply comes on solid when the tamper is closed, then a valid & secure
communication has taken place. If the LED flashes and then goes out, without going solid
communication has failed.
This method of commissioning devices ensures that valid and secure communication is taking place
and that signals are reaching the receiver. It is recommended that Device Commission Mode is used
in conjunction with Expander Commission Mode. See Above.
Device Specific Functions

Impaq Contact-W
The Impaq Contact-W has 3 additional inputs labelled MAG 1 COM MAG 2, these inputs can be
used for any N/C device. If the Reed switch is disabled the device can be used as a transmitter for
any device wired into one of the two inputs.
The two additional inputs are NOT independently programmable of the reed switch, when mapped
to a panel zone if either the reed switch or any of the inputs are triggered the zone which the device
