- To put an RF-PA on to a SecureWave system go into engineer mode.
- Plug out the SecureWave board to access the battery isolator; remove the isolator. The SecureWave board is now powered-up. Plug it back into the main body of the detector.
- If you have a number of RF-PA units you can open them too at this stage and remove their isolators.
- Select the Devices Menu. Then RF Devs Menu. Next select the Add & Id RF Devs option.
- Next, add and identify the RF-PA as a zone.
The sub-menu offers three device types:

1 Add&Id: RF Zones— add and identify RF zone devices (including RF-PA)2 Add&Id: RF Keyfob— add and identify RF Keyfobs3 Add&Id: RF Echo— add and identify the RF-Echo
The system displays Devs Found - 000 when it starts scanning and as it finds its first device the display will change to Devs Found - 001. When the system has found all its devices, press PLAY/QUIT.
- Select the zone number to be added & Id'ed.
- Next, press the tamper switch for about a second.
- As you press the devices' tamper switches in sequence, you will hear an audible indication as each device is identified into the system.
The RF-Echo can have a delayed reaction.
RF Device Options (Programmable Settings)

A three-column sub-menu flowchart. First column: 1 Add & ID RF Devices / 2 Locate RF Devices / 3 Remove RF Devices / 4 RF Device Options. Arrow to second column: 1 RF Zone Opts / 2 RF Keyfob Opts. Arrow to third column: Z01 Zone 1 / Z02 Zone 2.
The RF-PA's programmable options can be accessed as follows:
Menu navigation: 1 Service Menu → 2 Devices Menu → 1 RF Devices Menu → 4 RF Device Options
Go to the Devices Menu. Then RF Devs Menu. Next select the RF Device Options.
Sub-menu path: 4 RF Device Options → 1 RF Zone Opts → Select the RF-PA number in question (Z01, Z02, etc.)
From there go to RF Zone Opts and then select the RF-PA number in question.
Mon Sup (Monitored Supervisory)
You can now select Mon Sup (Monitored Supervisory signal). This is defaulted to YES. When the device is "lost" for >120 minutes, a supervisory alarm is flagged by the panel. This can be turned off by selecting NO.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Mon Sup YES | Supervisory alarm enabled (default) |
| Mon Sup NO | Supervisory alarm disabled |
We recommend that this feature is left as YES.
