  • Relay stay latched or continuously activated while smoke and /or heat alarm in alarm condition
• SM Pulse Relay(SM-P):
  • Relay activate momentarily for 2 seconds when the smoke and /or heat alarm in alarm condition

LED indication

• There are two LED indicators. Each of them has a unique function:
• This relay module has two LED indicators (Red and Green).

The LEDs indicate the following:

Green

• ON – AC Power is Present
• OFF – AC Power is not Present

Red

• LED flashes one second ON and one second OFF : Out of box, searching for network, ready to join or create a new network.
• Two quick LED flashes every 2 seconds : CRD – Unit is set as Master
• Three quick flashes every 2 seconds: RFD – Unit is set as Slave
• LED blinks four times twice: Unit is in general reset condition and is now in stand-alone mode
• LED flashes every 2 seconds: Indicates loss of wireless interconnection.
• LED flashes every 30 seconds: Indicates low battery

Installation Instructions

The wireless relay module must be on a circuit breaker and be installed in a suitable location such as the ceiling or wall. Refer to the local building regulations and codes of practice.

Disconnect mains power before commencing work.

• Remove cover (cover screws) to allow access to wire connections. See Figure 2.
  • Use a small screw driver to open the cover.
  • Please note: The cover is clipped into place and can only be closed in one direction.
• Mount base plate on proper location.
• Wire the cables into the appropriate terminals. Then turn ON the battery switch.
• After the cables are connected, re-install the module cover. See Figure 5 below.

Wiring Instructions
The wireless interlink relay module can be used for signalling compatible Lifesaver equipment or to activate auxiliary warning devices such as external bells and sirens, hallway or stairwell lighting. It provides isolated (no internal connection to 240 volts AC), normally open, and normally closed contacts.

WARNING!
Alarm and relay module wiring installation must comply with the current edition of AS3000 and Wiring Regulations and all appropriate prevailing local regional / national building regulations / codes of practice.

To be installed by a qualified electrician.
Failure to install this product correctly may expose the user to electric shock or fire risk hazards. This relay module is not rated as waterproof and must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water. The relay module must be installed correctly in order to function. The electrical circuit used to power the alarms and the relay module must be 240 volt AC 50Hz. This relay module has a rechargeable battery backup to allow it to function in the event of mains power outage.

WARNING:
This product cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These type of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in ‘off grid’ installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that can damage the device.

IMPORTANT:
Whenever alarms and relay modules are interconnected they must be powered on a single circuit. It is recommended to connect the module and alarms to a dedicated circuit that is separately electrically protected. This helps minimise interference (EMI) on alarm interconnect line from CFL’s, dimmers, LV transformers etc.

• This 6000WIRM relay module will not detect smoke or heat and must be installed in conjunction with the specified alarms. Only connect to the specified models of smoke or heat alarm. Do not connect to any other brand of alarm/auxilary device unless approved by PSA.
• The earth terminal connection provided is for termination purposes only and is NOT electrically connected within the sealed alarm / base units.

WARNING: THIS WIRELESS MODULE MUST BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED (LICENSED) ELECTRICIANS ONLY.

• In the interests of safety, this wireless module and all wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the relevant requirements of the SAA Wiring Rules – AS3000.
• This wireless module can only interconnect with compatible smoke alarms. Interconnection with other brands may cause damage, result in electric shock, fire risk and void warranty.
• It is important that the alarm be wired correctly to ensure correct operation. Incorrect wiring to the Smoke Alarm will damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Terminals on the module are marked as follows:

MARKINGS

WARNING:
Connecting the Switch wire terminal to any other supply conductor may result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate or shock hazard and void the warranty of the alarm.

RELAY OPERATION
The wireless relay may take a few seconds to operate when the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide alarm is activated. This is due to the time to receive the wireless signal. Conversely, when the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide deactivates, the relay may take a few seconds to deactivate.

The wiring connecting the module with the external device is not supervised. Be sure to test the operation of all the devices controlling the module or controlled by the module. Devices controlled by the module can be tested by pushing the Link button on the relay and verifying that the controlled device responds in the desired manner. Devices controlling the module can be tested by activating the device and verifying that all of the interconnected alarms enter into alarm.

Connecting to Auxiliary Devices, see Figure 6.

By installing the LIF6000WIRM in this manner it will allow you to operate devices such as sirens, strobes, bells, lights, air conditioners or any devices which do not exceed 240VAC @ 5 Amps.

Connect all the wireless devices using only the Active & Neutral lines. Do not connect to the SW terminal. See Figure 7 below.

To connect a hardwired device such as a heat alarm to a wireless network, install the wireless module onto the heat alarms. See Figure 8.

Activation and RF Interlink Network

Setting Up(6000WIRM) an RF Interlink Network
For easy first time setup, we recommend unpacking all the units together on a desk or counter. Regarding 6000WIRM relay module please refer to below steps table.

– Join Mode will timeout in 15 minutes.

Step 4| Close the network, press the LINK button twice on cover.| All LEDs are Off| The unit will enter Standby Mode.

Adding A Device (6000WIRM) To An Existing RF Interlink Network
At some point, you might want to add another unit to your existing RF interlink network. Follow the steps in the following table.

the Coordinator of the Network;

Three quick flashes every 2 seconds if it is a RFD in the Network – Join Mode is open.

| – All devices interconnected will turn ON LED

– Join mode will be open

– Join Mode will timeout in 15 minutes

Step 2| Connect the 6000WIRM and turn on the module.| Unit will flash one second ON and one second OFF. Unit will automatically join the network. And if successful, its Red LED will flash three times every 2 seconds. This indicates it is configured (as a RFD) in the network.| Join Mode will timeout

in 15 minutes after last unit joins.

Step 3| Single press.| Number of blinks corresponds to number of connected wireless devices.| – Network should be open and in join mode.

– Join Mode will timeout in 15 minutes.

Step 4| Close the network, press the LINK button twice on cover.| OFF| The unit was transfer to standby mode.

Resetting The Wireless Connection
This section explains how to perform a general reset on a 6000WIRM unit. This restores the unit to when it was first powered up. This procedure can also remove a 6000WIRM from a network.

Follow the steps below to resolve any of these situations:

• If you have problems connecting the 6000WIRM to a wireless network. Or if the network configuration has become confused.
• If a 6000WIRM is consistently out of range, and needs to be removed from the wireless network.
• If you decide to transfer a 6000WIRM from your network to another wireless network (eg. at your friend’s or family’s place).

Red LED either:

(1)  Twice every 2 seconds – denotes Coordinator

(2)  Three times every 2 seconds – denotes RFD

OR (3) 1 second ON, then 1 second OFF – denotes Network Search.

|
Step 2| Press and hold its LINK button for at least 4 seconds to reset the 6000WIRM unit.| The Red LED will blink four times, which is repeated, to indicate the unit has been reset. It is now in standalone mode, and will not be part of any network until its LINK button is pressed twice to re-enter Join Mode.|
Step 3| Press the LINK button twice on any other wireless unit to close the Join Mode.| Red LED on each unit will power off indicating Standby Mode|
Step 4| To re-join a network, please start over with Section 4.2 If any issues occur, please call PSA Technical Support.|  |
