Product Support

Your Power Fail Alarm connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (SpeakerHub or the original YoLink Hub), and it does not connect directly to your WiFi or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a hub is required. This guide assumes the YoLink app has been installed on your smartphone, and a YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network)

Installation

Pre-installation considerations:

• Your Power Fail Alarm detects the loss of power to itself. It must have charged batteries installed, in order to function during the loss of power.
• The Power Fail Alarm is a USB-powered device. Typically, this is supplied to the Power Fail Alarm via a plug-in USB power adapter, powered by your local AC mains power (120VAC, 220VAC, etc.). You can power the Power Fail Alarm from a USB outlet. This may be convenient if you have an outlet or power strip that lacks available AC outlets, but does have USB power. Or, your application may be supervising the status of USB power.
• Upon the loss of power, the Power Fail Alarm can activate the built-in alarm LEDs and sounder. The sounder has three sound level settings, and it can be entirely muted in the app.
• Upon the loss of power, the Power Fail Alarm reports the condition to the cloud server, which results in actions that can include various notifications and device actions. An example of a notification is an email message. An example of a device action is turning on a remote Siren Alarm.
• The Power Fail Alarm is a supervised device, meaning it is monitored 24/7 by the cloud server. If the power outage should also interrupt the internet connection, you will be notified per your settings in the app.

Please note: the Power Fail Alarm does not charge the batteries. Battery level is indicated in the app, and you will be notified when it is time to replace the batteries.

• Your YoLink hub is also a supervised device, and if the hub loses the connection to the cloud server, either due to loss of internet or due to the loss of AC power, you will be notified per your settings in the app.
• The Power Fail Alarm is an indoor-rated device. Do not use in environments where it can get wet or where the temperature or humidity will fall outside of the ranges allowed in the device specifications (refer to the full user guide or online product support resources for additional information).
• The Power Fail Alarm can be wall-mounted, hung from a screw or nail. It can be placed on any flat and stable surface. You may use alternative methods, such as two-sided mounting tape or Velcro.
• Consider the need to access the battery compartment later, if you do use methods that require taping or gluing something to the rear of the device. Command hooks by 3M are another way to hang the sensor from the wall or other surface.
• If you will rely on the built-in sounder at the primary notification, ensure the location of the Power Fail Alarm is optimized for this. Do not, for example, place the sensor behind an appliance or other large object which will dampen the sound transmission. You can use extension USB cables with the Power Fail Alarm, if you need to locate it remotely from the supervised outlet.
• Before installing your Power Fail Alarm, verify the power cable length is sufficient for the location you have chosen.

Install the Power Fail Alarm:
Instructions to hang the sensor from a nail or screw are as follows:

1. If using a wall anchor with a screw, install the anchor in the wall, per the anchor manufacturer’s instructions
2. Hammer a nail in the wall or insert the screw in the anchor/wall, as is applicable. Leave approximately a 1/8″ gap between the wall and the screw or nail head, as shown.
3. Hang the Power Fail Alarm from the screw or nail. Gently tug on it to ensure it will not fall down.

Power-up & Test the Power Fail Alarm

1. Using the supplied USB cable and plug-in USB adapter/power supply (or your own provided cable and/or USB adapter) connect the Power Fail Alarm to the monitored outlet.
2. Turn on the Power Fail Alarm by sliding the sound level button from OFF to one of the (H/M/L) settings.
3. Check that your Power Fail Alarm is now indicated as Online in the app.
4. The Power Fail Alarm should be silent at this time, in normal status. Disconnect power to the Power Fail Alarm. It should immediately activate its LED lights and sounder. You can silence it by pressing the SET button. The Power Fail Alarm will indicate the power outage in the app.
5. Restore power to the Power Fail Alarm. The Power Fail Alarm should return to normal status.

Refer to the full user guide and online resources to complete the setup of your Power Fail Alarm.
