Set up the WH52

The WH52 Wireless Hub is PoE-powered and connects locally to the BP52 to transmit wireless sensor events from connected devices. Multiple hubs can be added as needed to ensure proper coverage throughout your building.

---

Requirements

• A BP52 Alarm Panel.

• The WH52 requires 15W PoE (802.3af) and must be on the same subnet (LAN) as the BP52 Alarms Panel for local communication. See Alarm Network Settings for more information.

Installation best practices

Install the WH52 facing down to ensure proper coverage of the Alarms signals.

Avoid installation near metal surfaces as these will reduce range.

See Wireless Installation FAQ for more information on optimal hub placement.

Ensure that a BP52 is added to your New Alarms site and online.

2

Add the WH52 serial number to your Command account.

3

Move the WH52 from unassigned devices to your New Alarms site.

On the Devices page of your New Alarms site, verify the WH52 displays a "connected" event, confirming communication with the panel and readiness to route alarm events.

The WH52 will show online first and then connected.

  Note: This is a requirement for the WH52 to update its firmware from the cloud.
