DSC Wireless Motion Sensor Compatability

[David Myers]

I’m hoping that someone could advise... I have 6 wireless motion sensors WLS904L-433EU and a smoke detector WLS-906NB-433EU. I’ve used DLS 5 to program the RFK5501 ENG keypad which is connected to the PC1832 V4.6 board. The wireless module V5.3 is enrolled, all serials are in and each zone (zone 9 and onwards) has been assigned and set to 05 Interior, Stay–Away, and 109 – 8 Wireless/AML Zone has been set to yes.

All wireless devices are working with flashing LED’s as expected. The alarm doesn’t see any faults or open zones when the sensors are triggered with movement. I can arm the alarm and set the alarm off with the tamper trigger in the bell box, but can’t trigger the alarm with the sensors.

I’ve spent hours trying to Google this problem with not much success, could I be right in thinking that these wireless devices are not compatible with the RFK5501? It’s worth mentioning that although the devices are 433EU, the keypad is from the US, although the frequency of the wireless receiver in the keypad also operates on 433mhz.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

although the frequency of the wireless receiver in the keypad also operates on 433mhz.

But does it also use the same communication protocol as the sensors. If they don't speak the same language they cannot communicate with each other. ( language = protocol )

Thanks Bernard, something I need to investigate.

I think that says it all, (US), I would not expect something from the US to work here, conversely the same to be said about EU devices in the US.

Unless they have been made in the US specifically for EU that is, no matter what the frequency is.
