Introduction

This device is intended to work with smoke/CO alarms that meet the UL standards and last 10 years or less, however it does not detect fire, smoke, or carbon monoxide. The smoke and CO alarm listener sends you real-time mobile notifications whenever it hears alarms from the nearby existing smoke or CO alarms in your home. All listeners connected to the SBS50 base station are wirelessly interconnected, so when one device is triggered, all will be triggered and report a voice with location.

Signal Reception Test
After the listener is attached to the mounting bracket, tap “Next” and you will go to the “Signal Reception Test” page. The signal reception test ensures that the listener can receive alarm signals from your smoke/CO alarm. The device will say, “Press the smoke or CO detector’s test/silence button.”

  1. Press the smoke or CO alarm’s test/silence button. The listener will flash red and say, “smoke alarm detected” or “CO alarm detected,” then an in-app message “Alarms Signal Received” will appear below the page when the listener receives an alarm signal.
    Note: If the listener does not hear your alarm, it cannot monitor your alarm. This is possibly because you didn’t press the smoke/CO alarm’s test/silence button, or the smoke/CO alarm is too old and needs to be replaced.

  2. After the test is done, the device will say, “The test is finished.” The signal reception test lasts 3 minutes. Tap the Test Cancelation button or press the button on the side of the listener to cancel the test. The device will say, “Test canceled.”

Testing your smoke/CO alarm may trigger the listener (including the device’s test after battery replacement).
To avoid false alarms, press the button on the side of the listener or enable the signal reception test in the app before testing your smoke/CO alarm, then press the test/silence button on the smoke/CO alarm.
Test Without Using App
You can start the listener’s signal reception test without using the app, which will facilitate the monthly test of your smoke/CO alarms.
Step 1: Press the button on the side of the listener to start the reception test. The listener will flash red quickly and say, “Press the smoke or CO detector’s test/silence button.”

Step 2: Press the smoke/CO alarm’s test/silence button. If the listener receives alarm signals, the LED indicator will flash red, and the listener will say, “Smoke alarm detected” or “CO alarm detected.” At the same time, a push notification will be sent to your phone.

The signal reception test lasts for 3 minutes. If you press the side button of the listener again during the 3 minutes, the listener will exit the test and say, “Test canceled.” If you do not press the detector’s test button or the listener’s side button, the listener will automatically exit the test after 3 minutes and say, “The test is finished.” Then it will return to standby mode.

Wireless Interconnection

When the listeners are successfully connected to the SBSSO base station, and properly installed on the wall/ceiling, they are wirelessly interconnected. So, when one device is triggered, all will be triggered and report using a voice with location.
NOTE:

  1. The SAL 100 listener and the SAL51 listener can be interconnected.
  2. If the initiating alarm is the SAL 100 listener, all interconnected SAL 100 listeners will report using a voice with the location where the initiating one is triggered; if the initiating alarm is the SAL51 listener, the other interconnected SAL 100 listeners will still report using a voice but without the location.
  3. The SAL 100 listener can only be connected to the 58550 base station, and cannot be connected to the X-Sense link- series alarms.

Battery Replacement

  1. To replace the battery, detach the listener from the mounting bracket by twisting counterclockwise.
  2. Remove the batteries, then install new batteries matching the correct polarity markings.
  3. Test the device, then mount the listener onto the mounting bracket by twisting clockwise to lock the device.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION

In the “Signal Reception Test” step, the listener cannot hear the smoke/CO alarm and there is no prompt in the app.| The distance between the listener and the smoke/CO alarm is too close or too far apart.| Please install your listener within 2-6 in (5-15 cm) of a smoke/CO alarm, making sure the arrow on the bracket points to your existing smoke/CO alarm.
The test button on the smoke/CO alarm was not pressed.| In the “Signal Reception Test” step, push the test button on the smoke/CO alarm to allow the listener to hear it, and make sure that the alarm can be heard as normal.
The smoke/CO alarm is too old and cannot be heard by the  listener.| Replace the alarm with a new smoke/CO alarm.
It is unclear how to judge if the listener is working properly.| None.

| After completing the installation steps for the listener, light a piece of paper on fire and use the resulting smoke to trigger your smoke alarm. Allow the alarm to continue sounding and if the listener is functioning properly, you should receive a push notification through the app and the device
will say, “Warning! Smoke detected in location. Evacuate.” Please note, that
attempting to trigger the listener by pressing the alarm’s test button may result in failure, so it’s best to use the smoke from a piece of paper as instructed.
It is unclear how to judge which listener is
triggered first.| | Look in the app: only the initiating listener will be displayed as being triggered, and the other listeners will not.
Determine by the voice: All listeners in the network will report the voice with the location where the initiating one is triggered.
Judge by the color of the LED indicator:
the initiating listener flashes red, and the other listeners alternate flashing red and blue.
Testing the smoke/CO alarm will trigger the
listener.| None.| Once the listener is installed, it will continuously listen to your alarm, so testing your alarm will trigger it (including the device’s test after battery replacement).
Before testing your smoke/CO alarm, first press the test button on the side of the listener, or go to the “Signal Reception Test” page in the app.
When the smoke/CO alarm stops alarming, the LED indicator of the listener is still flashing, and the base station is still alarming.| None.| After the smoke/CO alarm stops alarming, the listener will continue to monitor for a short period of time to confirm that the alarm has ended. Within 30 seconds, the LED indicator of the listener will stop flashing and the base station will stop alarming.
When the listener is triggered, the base station mutes after a short period of alarming, while the listener continues to alarm.| None.| To avoid disturbing people, the base station’s alarm sound will automatically mute after 10 minutes of continuous alarming. The base station’s silence has no effect on the listener’s ability to continue to alarm.
The listener cannot be added to the base station.| The listener did not enter pairing mode.| Quickly press the test button twice on the listener until it flashes blue rapidly, indicating it has entered pairing mode.
The app push notification is delayed or there are no push alerts.| The app push notification
permission is disabled.| Turn on the push notification permission on the phone.
The base station is not within the network coverage of the router.| The distance between the base station and the router should be within 170 ft (50 m). Please ensure that the base station is always within the network coverage of the router.
The communication between the listener and base station is not stable or they are too far apart.| Reduce the obstacles between the listener and base station. The maximum distance between the listener and the base station in an open environment is 1,700 ft (500 m).
The network connection of the router and the mobile phone is abnormal.| Make sure the network connection of the router and the mobile
phone is normal.
The app shows that the listener is offline.| The communication between the listener and the base station is blocked or the distance is too far.| Reduce the obstacles between the listener and the base station. The maximum distance between the listener and the base station is 1,700 ft (500 m) in an open environment.
The batteries have run out.| Replace the batteries.
The app prompts low battery, and LED indicator of the listener flashes once every 60 seconds.| Low battery warning.| Replace the batteries.
