Switch 3 on the expander controls how MAG 2/COM reports to the control panel. By default the
switch is on and anything connected to MAG 2/COM will report as a tamper. When switch 3 is OFF
MAG 2/COM will report as alarm.
In the case of the Impaq Contact –W being used to trigger 24 hour circuits, or where the zone is
required to chime, the device attributes should be changed to Always Awake as detailed on page
46.
The two additional inputs may also be used to transmit N/C signals from any other locally powered
or self powered device, depending on the type of device used you should choose the device
attributes to suit.

9. System Attributes
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 44 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.
