AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In fire and/or safety systems, the remote addressable device may be unintentionally installed in the wrong location, resulting in difficulty in verifying the installation location and normal operating status, especially if another staff member is not required to verify at the fire panel.

Method used

By embedding radio frequency (RF) transceivers in a remote addressable device and embedded RF sensors in a base, the device can send and receive RF signals at the installation location, encode the address and physical location of the device, thereby automatically verifying the installation location and configuration of the device.

Benefits of technology

This method requires no additional staff to verify the installation location and operating status of the remote addressable device, reduces verification time and labor costs, and is suitable for situations where wireless connections are unavailable or prohibited.

Abstract

A system includes a plurality of remotely addressable devices, each of the plurality of remotely addressable devices being individually programmed with configuration data for the respective addressable device. Each remotely addressable device includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver to transmit an RF signal encoded with an address and a physical location of the remotely addressable device transmitting the RF signal. The system also includes a plurality of pedestals. Each of the plurality of pedestals includes an RF sensor that receives an RF signal from an RF transceiver of a corresponding remotely addressable device after the remotely addressable device is positioned in the pedestal.
