IDS Xwave2

Quick Guide

Introduction
The IDS X-Series Bi-directional Xwave2 Hub offers an additional 16 wireless supervised zones
and two programmable outputs. The hub can also learn up to 16 Xwave2 Bi-directional remote
transmitters. It is wired to the X-Series panel in the same way as all other peripheral devices, on
the keypad bus.

Bi-Direction
When a defaulted Xwave2 Hub is powered up it will register a unique Network ID (NID), this ID
cannot be changed unless the hub is defaulted. When a detector learns to a hub it joins that
Network ID and will only talk to that hub.

When a detector is triggered it will send a signal to the Xwave2 hub and it will keep sending until
it gets an acknowledgement from the hub.
1. Installation
Xwave2 works on the IDS X-Series panels, versions 2.7 and above.

When installing multiple Hubs you should learn the detectors to the Hub closest to it to avoid
any interference.

1.1. Addressing
To address the Xwave2 Hub, set the dipswitches as per the table below. Depending on what
address is used on the Hub will determine the zone numbers it uses.
Note: The unit must be powered down when selecting the unit’s address.

Binary value on switch Hub zones

Dipswitch 1 up 1 -16
Dipswitch 2 up 17 - 32
Dipswitches 1 + 2 up 33 – 48
Dipswitch 3 up 49 - 64
Dipswitch 6 up 3 second button panic disabled

1.2. XWave2 and Other Wireless Expanders

The Xwave2 Hub can work in conjunction with Xwave/Duevi. You can either have the Xwave2
operating with a different address to an Xwave/Duevi Expander using a different zone range or,
if needed, with the same address as an Xwave/Duevi Expander in which case it will share the
zone range.

Remember you can only have 1 wireless device learnt to a zone, so if you have a Xwave
detector learnt to zone 4, you cannot learn an Xwave2 detector to zone 4. You will have to use
another zone number or delete the Xwave detector in zone 4.

1.3. Xwave2 Hub Outputs

The Xwave2 Hub has two onboard programmable outputs. The address of these outputs are
based on the hubs ID.

Binary value on switch PGM Address

Dipswitch 1 up 6+7
Dipswitch 2 up 8+9
Dipswitches 1 + 2 up 10 + 11
Dipswitch 3 up 12 + 13
 1.4. Xwave2 Hub LEDs
There are 4 LEDs on the board marked “BEACON”, “NETWORK”, “TROUBLE” and “ALERT”.

BEACON: LED will flash when transmitting information.

NETWORK: LED will show if there is any activity on the keypad bus.
TROUBLE: LED indicates current operating errors. If the LED is ON
continuously then there are no errors. However if there are errors it will start
pulsing the error number.
ALERT: LED will pulse to indicate a message is being received.

1.5. Xwave2 Hub Trouble Display

The Xwave2 Hub will indicate any errors by pulsing the Network or Trouble LED. The LED will
pulse according to the error number shown below.
Network Pulse Number:
Pulse Error Description
1 Learn Mode The hub is in learn mode to add new devices to its network.
2 Remote Panic A panic has been received from a remote transmitter.
3 Low Detector A detector has reported that its battery needs to be replaced.
Battery
4 Detector Tamper A device has reported a tamper.
5 Supervision Loss A device has not checked in at the required time.
6 Low Signal A device on the network has a very low signal strength.
Strength
7 Signal Jam A signal at the same frequency has been detected and could
interfere with signals to and from detectors.

Trouble Pulse Number:

Pulse Error Description
1 Dead Keypad Bus There is no activity on the bus.
2 Not Registered The hub has not been able or is waiting for the X-Series panel to
be registered.
3 Not Receiving The hub is registered on the bus but is not receiving messages.
Messages
4 Invalid Dipswitches Dipswitches are set to an unrecognised setting.

1.6. Defaulting
If an Xwave2 Hub has been registered to a panel it would have received a unique network ID
and to remove the hub and attached it to a different X-Series panel it must be defaulted.

To default the Xwave2 Hub:

1. Remove all power
2. Put all dipswitches ON
3. Power the unit up and wait three seconds
4. Power the unit down
2. Location 260
All Xwave2 programming is done in location 260. Here you can learn a detector, delete a
detector and change a detectors configuration.

2.1. Learning an Xwave2 Detector (Sub Location 1)

If a detector is not learnt to a hub it will send out join requests every 20 seconds.

There are two ways you can learn an Xwave2 detector:

1. Go to Location 260 Sub Location 1, select the zone number and type in the serial
number of the detector.
If the detectors serial code is listed in the hub then the hub will learn the detector once it
receives a join request from that detector.

2. Go to Location 260 Sub Location 1, select the zone number and release the tamper of
the detector.
A hub will only learn a detector if it receives the detectors join request with a tamper signal. If
you have multiple defaulted detectors with their covers off then the hub will learn the first signal
it gets. NB: Only have 1 defaulted detector tampered at a time.

There will be a slight delay when moving a detector from one hub to another. You can learn a
learned detector to another hub by deleting the serial code from the existing hubs zone and
then entering the serial code into the new hubs zone. The detector can take up to 3 mins to
default once removed from the first hub, at which point it will join the new hub it is learned to.

2.2. Deleting an Xwave2 Detector

To delete a detector go to location 260 sub location 2, select the zone and press * to delete.
The detector will default itself within 3 minutes allowing it to be learned to another hub.

2.3. Xwave2 Configuration Settings

Due to the intelligence of Xwave2 you can now change the detectors configuration settings,
LED and Pulse count, from the X-Series panel.

Go to location 260 sub location 5, select the zone and enable/disable the bitmaps according to
your needs. See bitmap values below.

LED Default Action

1 ON Detector LED
2 ON On for a pulse count of 2 and Off for a pulse count of 4.
3. Remotes
The user menu is used to add/edit/delete remotes.

3.1. Remote Transmitter

Each remote transmitter has five buttons to control the alarm panel or query its status.

Stay Arm

3.2. Defaulting
If the remote transmitter was learnt to a different bi-directional installation it must be defaulted
before joining a new installation.
Defaulting procedure 1:
1. Remove the battery from the unit
2. Hold down button 1
3. Insert the battery while holding button 1
4. Release button 1.

Defaulting procedure 2:
1. Press and hold a remote transmitter button until it stops sending panics (Red Led
comes on) when out of range or if the bi-directional hub is off.

3.7. Remote Transmitter LED

The remote transmitter has bi-directional communication with the X-Series alarm panel and will
display different information by changing the colour of the LED and flashing a number of times.
The remote transmitter will respond with the status when you use a button or you can query the
alarm panel and get feedback e.g. armed or disarmed, current stay profile, outputs.

To query status:
1. Press the function button. (Button 1)
2. Then press the button that is allocated to the function that is being queried
3. The LED will indicate the status.

Example to query the arm status of the alarm using the default button assignments:
Press button 1 (Function button) then button 3 (Arm/Disarm button). The led will flash white
indicating transmitting message then blue if the alarm is ready to arm, red if armed or flash red
if armed but a violation has occurred.

4. Walk Test
The user menu is used to put the detectors in ‘Walk Test’.

Walk test mode will put certain capable devices into walk test mode from the X-Series keypad.
Once in walk test mode the device will trigger continuously when an object has been detected
and the LED will come on to indicate the detection.

To enter devices into walk test mode:

1. Enter the Master User Menu
2. Scroll to [Walk Test] menu or enter [1][9][*]
3. Enter the partition whose devices you want to walk test
4. Enter the number of minutes the walk test must stay active, 1 to 15 minutes. The system
will automatically exit walk test mode once the time entered expires.

5. I/O Module
5.1. I/O Module inputs and outputs
The Xwave2 I/O Module is a wireless device with two physical zone inputs and one output.

The module requires 12vDC power. You can wire two wired detectors into the zone inputs and
it will transmit as a wireless device. The module learns to the hub in the same way as any other
detector, however:
1. If you learn by tamper the module will learn its first input into the selected zone and the
second input will automatically learn into the following zone.
2. If you learn by serial number the module will learn the first input into the selected zone
and the second zone will be disabled.
The module has one programmable output, the address of the output is based on what zone
the I/O Module is learned to.

Zone Range I/O Module PGM

Address
1–4 42
5–8 43
9 – 12 44
13 – 16 45
17 – 20 46
21 – 24 47
25 – 28 48
29 – 32 49
