**Hyfire HFW-SIM-01 Wireless Wall Sounder and Wall Sounder VAD Instruction Manual

**

OVERVIEW

This device is an assembly of an HFW-SIM-01 Sagittarius system interface module and a HFC-WSR-03 conventional sounder / HFC-SBR-23- 03 conventional sounder + visual alarm device.
Sounder’s output is activated following an alarm condition of the Sagittarius system.

INSTALLATION – IMPORTANT NOTES

  • The device must be installed following your national and/or international codes of practice and standards: check them before performing the installation of this device.
  • Test this device after installation

INSTALLATION

  1. Detach the front operating section from the sounder back box (→ SOUNDER OPENING PROCEDURE).
  2. Extract the HFW-SIM-01 from the sounder’s back box (→ MODULE’S EXTRACTION).
  3. Set the HFW-SIM-01’s link switch to ON.
  4. Extract the HFW-SIM-01’s battery covers.
  5. Insert both batteries into their HFW-SIM-01 holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
  6. Link the HFW-SIM-01 device to the Sagittarius system (→ LINKING).
  7. Reinstall the battery covers.
  8. Check the wireless link quality of the HFW-SIM-01 positioned in the final installation location (→ WIRELESS LINK QUALITY CHECK).
  9. Install the sealing pad if the sounder is to be installed outdoors and/or in damp environments (not EN 54-3 approved) (→ OUTDOORS AND DAMP ENVIRONMENTS INSTALLATION).
  10. Fix the sounder back box to the wall on the final installation location (→ WALL INSTALLATION).
  11. Reinstall the HFW-SIM-01 into the sounder’s back box (→ MODULE’S INSTALLATION).
  12. Set sounder’s tone and volume (→ OUTPUT TONE SETTING , →OUTPUT VOLUME SETTING).
  13. Reinstall the front operating section onto the sounder back box (→ SOUNDER CLOSING PROCEDURE).
  14. Test the HFW-SIM-01 + HFC-WSR-03 / HFC-SBR-23-03 to check if it works properly (→ TESTING).

SOUNDER OPENING PROCEDURE

In order to detach the upper sounder body from the base:

  1. Insert the pins of the compatible key into the holes of one of the two side locking mechanisms.
  2. Turn the key 90° to the left whilst applying light pressure.
  3. Repeat this step for the second side locking mechanism; the locking mechanism appears as in picture 1 when in the open position (flush).
  4. Detach the sounder body from the base by pulling gently to separate (picture 2).

When assembling or removing the front operating section of the sounder to/from the back box be careful to ensure the interconnection block is not twisted which may cause damage.
Perform such operations without using excessive force

MODULE’S EXTRACTION

  1. Gently release the locking catch allowing the module to lift and rotate to release from the side wall.
  2. Remove the module.

LINKING
The translator/expander module is waiting to achieve a wireless child device.

  1. Move the link switch’s cursor from ON to the opposite side (BLANK side); HFW-SIM-01 indicates “Linking to the system”.
  2. If linking outcome is ok: HFW-SIM-01 stops indicating “Linking to the system”.
  3. If linking outcome is not ok: perform the LINKING RECOVERY procedure.

LINKING RECOVERY
In case something goes wrong with the linking operation:

  1. Take out both batteries from their holders.
  2. Move alternatively the link switch to ON / BLANK five times.
  3. Move the link switch to ON.
  4. Reinsert both batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
  5. Perform the LINKING procedure.

During all the duration of the linking phase, the module must be only a few inches away from the translator / expander module you are linking to.

MODULE’S STATUS GREEN LED RED LED
Power up 1 second green, then 0.5 second red for 4 times
Linking to the system Blinking until linking is completed
Normal condition
Main battery fault __

| 0.5 second on and 10 seconds off (orange tonality)
Secondary battery fault| 0.5 second on and 10 seconds off| –
Both batteries fault| __

| 0.5 second on and 10 seconds off (orange tonality)
Lost link with wire to wireless translator / wireless expander| 0.5 second green and red (amber) and 1 second off

WIRELESS LINK QUALITY CHECK
It is possible to check wireless link quality between the sounder module and its linked-to translator or expander in this way:

  1. Move the link switch to the ON position.
  2. Module’s LED indicator will start blinking according to the following table:
    LINK QUALITY| EVALUATION| DEVICE’S INDICATION
    ---|---|---
    No connection| Fail| Two red blinks
    Link margin is less than 10 dB| Poor| One red blink
    Robust communication with link margin from 10 dB to 20 dB| Good| One green blink
    Robust communication with link margin over 20 dB| Excellent| Two green blinks
  3. Move the link switch to position BLANK again; device will NOT WORK if the link switch is on position ON !

OUTDOORS AND DAMP ENVIRONMENTS INSTALLATION

When installing the sounder outdoors or in a damp environment, carefully apply the self-adhesive sealing pad to the back of the sounder base **(picture 5).

**

Suitable, but not EN 54-3 approved for outdoor use.

WALL INSTALLATION
Fix the sounder base to the wall; the prepared location options for the fixing screws are highlighted in picture 6.

MODULE’S INSTALLATION

  1. Insert the terminal edge of the module between the securing points on the wall of the back box.
  2. Gently push down the module body so that the locking catch engages fully to hold the PCB in place.
    Check that it feels secure.

OUTPUT TONE SETTING

Use the DIP switch on the back of the sounder body to select the tone required; for this function the first five switches are used, highlighted in **picture 8.

**

The switches positioned upwards acquire value “1”; on the other hand, if positioned downwards acquire value “0”.

  1. From the →TONE SET table (table 4) select the output alarm tone triggered when the sounder is activated.
  2. Refer to the corresponding line of the “DIP configuration” column to select the five switch selection settings.

OUTPUT VOLUME SETTING
Use the DIP switch at the back of the sounder body to select the output volume; in particular, switches 6 and 7, highlighted in picture 9, are used.

The switches positioned upwards acquire value “1”; on the other hand, if positioned downwards acquire value “0”.

  1. Select the alarm volume required when the sounder is activated (table 3).
  2. Refer to the corresponding line of the “DIP configuration” column to set the two volume selection switches.

SOUNDER CLOSING PROCEDURE

In order to assemble the sounder body to the base:

  1. Assemble the sounder body to the base using gentle pressure (picture 10).
  2. Insert the pins of the compatible key into the holes of one of the two side locking mechanisms.
  3. Turn the key 90° to the right.
  4. Repeat this step for the second side locking mechanism, starting from point 2; the locking mechanism appears as in picture 11 once closed (recessed).
  5. To secure use the retaining screws, using the location holes on both sides of the base **(picture 12).

**

When assembling or removing the front operating section of the sounder to/from the back box be careful to ensure the interconnection block is not twisted which may cause damage.
Perform such operations without using excessive force.

TAMPERING DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION

Tampering attempts are detected by a pair of switches (one on the front, the other on the back of the module); once detected, a tampering event message is broadcasted to the system.

TESTING

  1. Activate the fire security system’s alarm condition.
  2. Check the HFW-SIM-01 + HFC-WSR-03 / HFW-SIM-01 + HFC-SBR-23-03 output activation.
  3. Press the SILENCE SOUNDERS button (or equivalent) on the control panel.
  4. Reset the system from the control panel.
    All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the translator module indicates a low battery condition on a child device, batteries must be replaced.
When a low battery condition is indicated, both batteries must be changed altogether.
During this procedure the linking switch must NOT be touched at all !

  1. Detach the front operating section from the sounder back box.
  2. Extract the HFW-SIM-01 from the sounder’s back box.
  3. Extract the HFW-SIM-01’s battery covers.
  4. Extract the batteries.
  5. Insert the new batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
  6. Reinstall the battery covers.
  7. Reinstall the HFW-SIM-01 into the sounder’s back box.
  8. Reinstall the front operating section onto the sounder back box.
  9. Test the HFW-SIM-01 + HFC-WSR-03 / HFW-SIM-01 + HFC-SBR-23-03 to check if it works properly.
