JB-TB-TC5126W Installation and debugging
process and precautions of wireless fire alarm control
panel
I. Installation flow chart

II. Device access to the network and product communication
distance test
1. Determine the position of the control panel according to the drawings.
2. Determine the type, quantity and installation position according to the
drawings.
3. Determine the number of control panels according to the number of
devices.
4. Device access to the network
4.1. Network segment setting: The device network segment should be set
before entering the network. In the network setting interface of the
control panel menu, set the network segment of the network according to
the actual situation on site.
4.1.1. Operation of network segment setting: (Menu→6 Network setting
→Enter password 111111→2 Wireless setting→Press the ENTER to set).

4.1.2. Set the number of loops: set according to the number of loops used
by the control panel.
4.1.3 Wireless address setting: the setting range of address on field
devices shall be between 1-254. (When the signal extender is debugged,
the address number of the panel's wireless address setting should be the
same as that of the signal extender's in the debugging software. If it is
different, normal communication may not possibly work).
4.1.4 When setting the network segment, the first network segment
should be set apart from the second network, (for example: the network
segment of the first channel should be set to 464.2MHz, the network
segment of the second channel should be set to 466.2MHz) Avoid mutual
interference in communication among field devices due to the same or
similar network segment.

4.1.5 The level of wireless power consumption: The wireless power
consumption level is divided into four levels (first level power
consumption: communication fault reporting time is 100 seconds, second
level power consumption: communication fault reporting time is 2 hours,
third power consumption: communication fault reporting time is 12
hours , Four-level power consumption: 15 hours for communication fault
reporting). When the wireless power consumption level is set to level one,
each loop of the control panel can carry up maximum 32 wireless field
devices; when the wireless power consumption registration is set to level
two, three, or four power consumption, each loop can take maximum 64
wireless field devices. Note: The power consumption level affects the life
of battery in the components and device. Choose them due to the on-site
situation. Set up the power consumption to level four is recommended)

4.2 The field devices are accessing and exiting the network: (Before
accessing the network, consider the number of devices to be installed in
each loop to avoid inconsistent loops when it is added later. The same
signal extender cannot be set to forward the data of two loop devices at
the same time. Example: 1 loop No. 1 The field device cannot share one
signal extender with the 2 loop No. 1 field device)
4.2.1 Devices access to the network: press menu → No.5 system settings
→ enter the password 111111 → 4 wireless registration → press the
enter key → F1/F2 to select the loop of the device to be connected to the

network → press enter to start the network → press the up and down
buttons of the control panel to select the sensitivity of networked field
devices (The sensitivity is effective for smoke detector, and the control
panel defaults to a first-level sensitivity). Press the left and right buttons
of the control panel to select the type of networked field device (the
control panel defaults to unlimited access to the network).

4.2.2 When the screen shows on the "wireless registration" and also the
device is not registered to the network, quickly press the network button 3
times, and the green light flashes 3 times, the device sends a network
connection request to the control panel. After the application is successful,
the control panel shows that total number of connections +1. (When the
indicator is always red, indicating that the device is not be connected to
the network. Solution: 1. Find the instruction to exit the network, and
refer to "4.2.3 Exit operation"; 2. Restore the device to factory settings,
refer to "4.6 Restore to factory default". When power on the device again
as the device's red light is always on, and press the "Networking" button 5
times, then the red indicator flashes 3 times and goes out. You can
re-access the network at this time.)
4.2.3 Exit network operation: When the screen is on the "wireless
registration" and the device is connected to the network already, press the

network button 3 times quickly, and the green light flashes 3 times, the
device sends an exit request to the control panel, after application success,
the total number of logout displayed by the control panel +1.
4.3 Status test: After the device is powered on, press the network button
once, and the green light flashes once. If the screen displays the loop
address number of the field device, it indicates that the device has
successfully connected to the network, otherwise the device is not
connected to the network.

4.3.1 Note: 1-01 represents the address of No. 1 device of loop 1. R and T
represent signal strength (unit: dBm). This data indicate that the field
device communicates with the control panel normally. (the value of R and
T indicates between 0 and 130. The smaller the value, the better the
communication with the control panel.)
4.3.2 If the device transmits the signal through the signal extender, then
the number displayed on the screen is: 1 loop and No. 1, device
communication is normal, at this time the signal strength of R and T is the
communication signal from the field device to the signal extender
strength.
4.4 Device alarm: When the device alarms or actives, the red light is
always on. The device sends an alarm signal or feedback signal to the
control panel, and the control panel responds to the alarm signal or
feedback signal.

4.5 Device reset: manual call point and fire hydrant button adopt special
key to reset, and other products reset on control panel.
4.6 Restore factory default: After the device is connected to the network,
when it is powered on again, the alarm light will last 10s. During this
period, you can restore the factory default by tapping the network button
5 times.
4.7 When there are multiple control panels in the same project, the
network access operation should be carried out separately to avoid the
situation where there are too many devices and the wrong control panels
are connected to each other.
5. Test the communication distance between the field device and the
control panel.
5.1 After the devices arrive at the designated installation position, press
the network button of the device to check whether the control panel can
receive the signal and signal strength of the device. If it can communicate
normally, continue to test the online situation if you want further. If the
control panel does not respond after pressing, you need to add a signal
extender at the appropriate position.
6. Debug and add signal extender
TC-ZJ402 wireless signal extender is used in the system of
JB-TB-TC5126W wireless fire alarm control panel, and its function can
be understood as the the bridge between the field devices and control

panels, it’s responsible for the data exchange between the smoke detector,
the MCP, the fire hydrant, the sounder strobe, the modules and the control
panel, which increases the monitoring range of the control panel and
extends the communication distance.
The signal extender setting is divided into two parts (the control
panel and wireless signal extender setting, the other setting is wireless
signal extender software part.)
6.1 (Control panel debugging) Enter the menu interface of the wireless
fire alarm control panel → 6 network setting → enter the password
111111 → 5 signal extender setting. (If the device address numbers in
the same loop are not consecutive, you need to set the device address
numbers of this loop multiple times.)
6.1.1 Wireless loop: The number of the wireless loop where the device to

transmit the signal through the signal extender. (For example: the loop 1,
1-64 device to transmit the signal through link 1, the setting content is as
follows: wireless address is 1, link is 1, start address from 01, end address
64, mode 0 press the confirm key to complete the setting) .
6.1.2 Relay link: Max 8 relay channels can be set for each panel, Max 5
signal extenders can be added to each relay channel, and each relay
channel works independently and does not affect each other. The channel
distribution diagram is as follows: (For example, the signal extender 1-5
in the figure are in channel 1, The number 1 in the front represents the
number of relay channel, and the 5 in the back represents the number of
signal extender)

Example of setting the control panel
For example: the 1-64 devices of loop 1 are all in channel 1, then the
settings are as follows: wireless loop 1, relay channel 1, start address 01,
end address 64, mode 0, press the Enter to complete the setting; if the first
32 points of the loop are channel 1, 33-64 are channel 2, it needs to be
completed twice, the first wireless loop 1, relay channel 1, start address
01 end address 32, mode 0, press the Enter to complete the setting. The
second setting, wireless loop 1, relay channel 2, start address 33 end
address 64, mode 0 press the confirm key to save.

6.3 (signal extender software debugging) Connect the RF470 wireless
communicator into the computer, find the com in Device Manager in the
software of the computer, open the wireless debugging software, select
the COM port settings, start com address number that founded, and then
Open the parameter configuration, fill in the control panel wireless

address number (refer to the "wireless address setting" in the control
panel wireless settings for the wireless address number), control panel ID
(control panel ID is at the fourth relay setting in the setting query), Loop
number and loop network frequency.

6.3.1 The setting method of the signal extender is as follows: (For
example, the control panel is in the control room on the first floor, and
there are seven floors in the building. Smoke detectors, MCP and other
device are installed. Due to the poor communication effect of the on-site
environment, it is necessary to add signal extender to ensure device.)

The device address number on the first floor is 1-7, the device address
number on the second floor is 8-17, the device address number on the
third floor is 18-24, the device address number on the 4th
floor is 25-29,
and the device address number on the 5th
floor is 30-34 , The address
number on the 6th floor is 35-39, and the address number on the 7th
floor
is 40-44. Due to the large field interference, it is necessary to add the
signal extender to ensure the normal communication of the device. After
the test, signal extender are added to the second, fourth, and sixth floors.
Then the debugging method is as follows.
6.3.1.1 The device on the 1st
floor communicates normally, so there is no
need to add a signal extender. The devices which at second floor and
above need to transmit data through the signal extender. The extender on

Relay channel 1 must be responsible for the address number of the
transmission device between 8-44. However, the device on the fourth
floor or above in the building is transmitted back through channel 1,signal
extender 2 and signal extender 3 ,so the signal extender should be set up
in accordance with the floor.
6.3.1.2 The above figure shows the model and address number of the
device that the floor 1 signal extender is responsible for transmission. The
selected part in the blue frame is the address number and type of devices
(No.8-24 device) to be transmitted by the signal extender at this floor, and
the other 25-34 is the address number of relay transmission device at
floor 2 and 35-44 is that of relay transmission device at floor 3. The type
of device responsible for transmission by the signal extender at this level
is shown in the signal extender debugging software as 00X (for example,

the type of smoke detector to be transmitted by the signal extender at this
level is 002, and the MCP is 004). Meanwhile, the type of device to be
transmitted by the signal extender after this level is shown as X0X (for
example, the types of signal extenders at lower levels are 202 and 404).
6.3.1.3 We set the content of the second floor signal extender down below.
As shown in the figure below (No. 25-44 in the box is the device address
number of the floor 2 signal extender transmission signal, of which 25-34
is the address number of the device to be transmitted by the floor signal
extender, so the device type is 00X, and 35-44 is the address number of
the device to be transmitted by the next floor signal extender, the device
type needs to use X0X).
6.3.1.4 The third floor signal extender is set as follow:

6.3.2 After the software is set up, you need to set the signal extender
corresponding to the floor. When setting, the signal extender is powered
on, and the running light is flashing after power on. At this time, press the
setting button 5 times continuously, and the three indicators flash at the
same time, then click on the software sending, and watch the progress bar
at the back. When 100% appears, the signal extender setting is completed.
After the setting is completed, you need to press the setting button on the
signal extender again to exit the setting mode and enter the working mode.
(Note: When setting the signal extender, only one signal extender can be
set at a time, and multiple signal extender cannot be set at the same time).

6.4 After the signal extender debugging is completed, start to test the
communication between the signal extender and the control panel.
6.4.1 Key points of on-site test and installation
The signal extender should be installed in a suitable position in the
wireless network, so that the signal extender can act as a bridge between
the panel and the detector. When the signal strength is not enough (signal
strength test method, if there is a 5-floor signal extender, first Turn on the
control panel, the signal extender of first floor is powered on, press the
button twice, observe the fault light, after flashing 3 times, if it is off, it
means the signal is good, if it is off after 3s, it means the signal is bad,
and the position of signal extender needs to be adjusted. By analogy with
the installation of continuous floor signal extender, the position of the
relays in the network can be reasonably arranged, so that the signal
extender can cover a larger area, and at the same time, it can avoid
channel collisions caused by too close distances.

6.4.2 Find the transmission device corresponding to the signal extender,
press the setting button of the device, and check the loop number, address
number and communication signal strength of the device on the control
panel. (The signal strength displayed at this time is the communication
signal strength from the device to the signal extender. Similarly, the
smaller the figure, the better the communication quality)
6.4.3 In the same way, when the communication distance of the first floor
signal extender still cannot meet the field requirements, it is necessary to
add two or more floors of signal extender. (JB-TB-TC5126W wireless
fire alarm control panel panel, each loop of the control panel can carry up
to 8 floors signal extender, and each floor can carry up to five floors of
signal extender)
III. Installation
After the product is commissioned, the installation starts. The
installation method should be selected according to the surface material
of the fixed device. The installation method is divided into 3M glue
installation and self-tapping screw fixing.
1. The installation is generally fixed by self-tapping screws. Generally,
the wall is normally drilled to install the expansion plug, and then fixed
with self-tapping screws.
2. For those who do not have the drilling conditions on site, you can also
choose to use 3M glue to fix.

2.1 If the 3M glue is used for fixing, check the test wall before fixing to
ensure that the installation surface is smooth, flat, firm, dry, and clean,
and whether it can be firmly bonded to the 3M glue. If there is water, dust,
oil stains, or peeling off the wall, the contact surface that is not easy to
stick needs to be wiped or cleaned before sticking. If the 3M glue fixing
method is not available, it is recommended to change the installation
method. After pasting, gently rotate the device with your hand to confirm
whether the pasting is secure. (When using 3M glue to install, it is
necessary to regularly check the adhesion of the device to avoid potential
safety hazards due to improper adhesion.)
3. After the installation is complete, press the setting button of the device
by the way, and see the online loop number and address number
communication signal strength displayed on the control panel screen. If it
does not display, it means that there is a communication problem, and a
signal extender needs to be appropriately added.
IV. The control panel debugging
1. Compile the annotation information and linkage program of the device
according to the coding table.
2. Control panel upload notes and linkage program: You can download
notes and linkage program through U disk or manually write note
information and linkage program by control panel.
V. Test linkage

According to the linkage programming, press the MCP or the
detection device such as smoke and temperature to trigger the alarm, and
the linkage device action. (After the linkage test is completed, reset the
field devices and control panel to avoid affecting the battery life due to
the devices being in the alarm state for a long time).
VI. Attention
1. Before entering the network, determine the type and quantity of device
to be installed according to the drawings. The loop is divided according
to the total number of wireless addresses of the control panel into the
network. (Avoid the lack of device during installation in this area, and
there will be no idle address points in the loop when the device is added
later, and the normal communication cannot be performed when the same
signal extender cannot transmit two wireless loop devices at the same
time in the additional loop).
2. Before the network, you must first set the control panel's loop network
segment and the control panel address number (after the device is
connected to the network, you cannot modify the wireless loop network
segment to avoid the device being unable to communicate with the
control panel normally).
3. After the devices connected to the network needs to add a signal
extender due to poor communication effect, it is necessary to set a signal
extender on the control panel side as well. (If you don't set or forget to set,

the device will alarm but the control panel will not respond).
4. Before the devices are installed, it is necessary to conduct a survey of
the on-site installation situation and what kind of installation method the
wall supports (self-tapping screw fixing method and 3M glue sticking
method, considering the fixing reliability, it is recommended to use
self-tapping screws to fix the device)
5. When setting the signal extender, each floor of signal extender needs to
be set correspondingly. Only one signal extender can be set at a time,
and multiple signal extender cannot be set at the same time.
6. signal extender setting, if there are multiple floor signal extender are in
the same loop, the control panel setting the "signal extender setting" start
address and end address can not directly set the start address 01 and end
address 64. It should correspond to the specific address number
transmitted by the floor signal extender. For example:No 1 floor signal
extender is responsible for devices No. 1-32, and No 2 floor signal
extender is responsible for devices No. 33-64, then when setting No 1
floor signal extender, the start address should be 01 and the end address is
32. When No 2 floor signal extender is set, the start at address 33, ends
at Address 64; If you set the start address 01 and end address 64 for No 1
floor signal extender and start address 01 and end address 64 for No 2
floor signal extender during setting, the control panel will take the last
setting as the standard. The result is that the No 1 floor signal extender

device set for the first time will not be able to communicate with the
control panel and transmit information normally.
7. When setting the signal extender software, the "control panel wireless
address number" in the signal extender debugging software should be the
same as the "wireless address setting" of the control panel. (The wireless
address setting range of the control panel is 1-254)
8. When the signal extender is in use, the power adapter should be

connected to ensure that the device is in the power supply state.
9. Due to installing the signal extender, it should not be installed in the
power distribution shaft, distribution box, humidity, electromagnetic
interference and signal shielding positions.
10. After the device alarms and device feedback, the device should be
reset to the control panel in time. Long-term device alarms will affect the
battery power and service life.
11. When the device wants to exit the network after entering the network,
try to exit the network on the control panel side.
12. After the device is connected to the network, when the control panel
wants to single-point clear a certain device or a channel device, it must
find this device to restore the factory operation to avoid the device being
removed by the control panel but the device is still here by default on the
control panel, frequently sending heartbeats to the control panel interferes
with other devices.
13. When multiple control panels are connected to the network at a short
distance, it should be avoided to connect to the network at the same time
or according to the type to prevent the device from entering the wrong
control panel or the device from leaving the network by mistake.
14. The antenna should be fixed near the control panel. (It is better not to
fix it on the control panel).
