This user manual contains important information about your combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm’s operation. To ensure proper use and trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully and store it in a safe place for future reference.

Introduction

All X-Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms conform with regulatory requirements, including EN 14604 and EN 50291 Standards and are designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide. This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally more sensitive than ionization technology. It is effective at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smouldering fires. These types of fires may smoulder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless, tasteless and invisible-it’s a silent killer. Using electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect increased levels of carbon monoxide early, protecting your
family from the dangers of carbon monoxide.

• The installation of the apparatus should not be used as a substitute for the proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
• This apparatus is to be installed by a competent person.
• It is not tested for use in a caravan or boat.

NOTE: For maximum protection, use smoke and CO alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!
Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your X-Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. The buzzer will inform you of the type of situation occurring.

THIS COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IS DESIGNED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT KNOCK OR DROP THE ALARM. DO NOT OPEN OR TAMPER WITH THE ALARM AS THIS COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTION.

Test/Silence Button

• SC06-W: The Test/Silence button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to silence the unit during an alarm. When testing the alarm weekly, press and hold the test button until you hear a short beep, indicating that the alarm has entered the test mode. Please refer to the “Alarm Test” section for further information. The alarm goes back to the standby mode after testing.
• SC07-W: The Test/Silence button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to silence the unit during an alarm. When testing the alarm weekly, you should first wake up your alarm by pressing the test button; once the alarm has woken up, the LCD will activate, then press and hold the test button again until you hear a short beep, indicating that the alarm has entered the test mode. Please refer to the “Alarm Test” section for further information. The alarm goes back to the standby mode after testing. To save power, the alarm is designed to automatically turn off the LCD if there has been no operation for 5 minutes.

NOTE: After a test has begun, the alarm will sound and the LED will flash red. This does not indicate that smoke/CO is present.

Silence Mode
Smoke Silence Mode: Press the test button during an alarm to have the unit enter silence mode for 9 minutes. If the smoke concentration has reached an alarm level, after the silence time has expired, this unit will continue to alarm until the smoke concentration decreases to a safe, low level. Otherwise, the alarm will enter the normal mode after 9 minutes.

CO Silence Mode: Press the test button during an alarm to have the unit enter silence mode. If the CO density still exceeds the alarm threshold, the unit will re-enter the alarm state. Otherwise, the unit will exit the silence mode after 9 minutes and resume normal operation. If the CO concentration is above 300 ppm, the silence function cannot be enabled.

NOTES

1. You can silence all interconnected units by pressing the Test/Silence button on one of the units. If one unit is still alarming, it is the initiating unit (the unit that detected danger); to silence all interlinked units, you must also press the Test/Silence button on the initiating unit.
2. While interconnected, the initiating unit cannot be triggered again during the 9-minute silence duration. However, all other interconnected units can be triggered again if they detect danger during the silence mode.

Buzzer
The alarm will sound when there is smoke or CO present, when you test the alarm, and when there is a fault.

LED Indicator
The LED indicator will flash in conjunction with the buzzer. Therefore, it will flash during the following states: when powering on, in standby mode, during smoke or CO alarm states, when exiting an alarm state, during test mode, when there is a low battery, in silence mode, when there is a fault and when the unit is at the end of its life.

Low Battery
The LED indicator will flash yellow together with one beep every 60 seconds. THE UNIT MUST BE DEACTIVATED (see “Deactivation of the Alarm” section) AND REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you press the test button when there is a low battery, the low battery signal will temporarily cease for 10 hours.

End of Life
Once the maximum lifetime (10 years) is reached, the alarm will deliver 3 beeps and the LED indicator will flash yellow 3 times every 60 seconds. This end-of-life signal can be temporarily silenced for 22 hours by pressing the test button. The end-of-life silence feature can only be used for a total of 30 days. After 30 days, the end-of-life signal cannot be silenced.

CO Alarm Levels
This X-Sense combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarm is programmed to sound an alarm at the following CO concentrations within the periods listed:

• 30 ppm over 120 minutes,
• SO ppm for 60-90 minutes,
• 100 ppm for 10-40 minutes,
• and 300 ppm for 0-3 minutes.
• SC06-W: When CO is detected and the alarm sounds, the LED indicator will flash red and the alarm will issue 4 short beeps, repeating the cycle every 5.8 seconds.
• SC07-W: When CO is detected and the alarm sounds, the CO concentration will be displayed on the LCD and a blue backlight will be lit. The LED indicator will flash red and the alarm will issue 4 short beeps, repeating the cycle every

How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms
All X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms contain a built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more interlinked alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound. The X-Sense Link+ series contains wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense Link+ alarms but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers. The X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected, and the alarms in each multi-pack have their independent interlinked network. If you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to connect them all to the same network. Choose one multi-pack as your base network and connect the other multi-packs to it.

NOTE: The following instructions regarding wireless interconnection apply to the X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms only.

How to Interconnect

1. Make sure you only work with 2 units at a time, and make sure that they are both turned on to ensure a successful connection.
   NOTE: To turn on SC06-W/SC01-l1V, attach the alarm properly to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to Jock it. To learn how to turn on different models of wireless interlinked alarms, please refer to their specific user manuals for more details.

2. Quickly press the test/silence button on one of the 2 units 4 times; it will beep once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode and is waiting for a new unit to be added. Quickly press the test/silence button on the other unit twice; it will beep once and the LED will flash red rapidly, indicating it is searching for a device to connect to.

3. After the search is successful and an interconnected group is created, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode. At this point, both units will only flash once 60 seconds, indicating they are in normal standby mode.

4. lf you want to connect a third alarm to this group, first activate a new device according to its operating instructions, and then quickly press the test/silence button on either of the 2 previously interconnected units 4 times. This unit will beep once, and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it is ready to add a new device to the network. Next, quickly press the test/silence button on the new unit twice, and the LED will flash red rapidly as it searches for a network to connect to. After the third unit successfully joins the interconnected network, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode.

5. If you want to connect more units, simply repeat step 4. Up to 24 alarms can be interconnected this way. To ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you only work with 2 units at a time-one unit enters the pairing mode and the other unit enters the searching mode.

6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test’.’

NOTES

1. The alarm will enter the searching mode or the pairing mode for 60 seconds with the LED flashing red. After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. If needed, press the test/silence button once while the alarm is in the searching mode or the pairing mode, and the LED will stop flashing red and the alarm will quit the pairing mode to enter normal status.
2. Test all wireless alarms to ensure they are interconnected before installation.
3. A maximum of 24 wireless alarms can be interconnected on the same network.
4. The model con only be interconnected with other X-Sense Link’ wireless interlinked alarms.

How to Disconnect
Press the test/silence button 4 times; the alarm will beep once. Then, hold down the button until it beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can be reconnected to the same network, or added to a new network.

NOTE: The X-Sense Link’ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. To create a new network, you will first need to disconnect each alarm individually in this multi-pack to avoid having them all join the same network.

Alarm Mode
X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms can be interconnected such that any unit that senses danger will cause all other units in the interconnected network to alarm.

If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke:
When one smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times, paired with the LED that flashes red every 4 seconds. Any other SC06-W/SC07-W units will follow suit-they will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession.

If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO
When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other SC06-W/SC07-W units in the network will follow suit-they will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep. When the CO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.

NOTES

1. When one unit is triggered, other interconnected units will sound. If the smoke alarm and CO alarm are triggered in the network at the same time, the alarm signal of the smoke alarm will take priority over that of the CO alarm.
2. This alarm has a relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection coverage.

Alarm Test
Be sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or when the group configuration has changed. In addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning from a long trip or vacation. If your X-Sense Link+ SC06-W/SC07-W is interconnected to other X-Sense wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual alarm is tested during the weekly test.

NOTE: The test function accurately tests the a/arm’s circuits without the need to test with smoke and CO. If your alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please refer immediately to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

NOTE: Before installation, it is recommended to test the interconnected alarms in the rooms where you intend to install them to ensure that they are within transmission range and that nothing will interfere with their communication.

Installation Locations

1. Prioritize the installation of a smoke/CO alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In a home with several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm in your home, install the alarm near all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every Aoor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure the alarm is within working distance of all corners of the room.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 50 cm (20 inches) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed on a wall, it should be at a distance of 10-30 cm (4-12 inches) below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 900 cm (30 feet), several alarms should be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 90 cm (3 feet) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. In multi-level houses or apartments, install at least one wireless alarm on each level and keep them installed in a straight vertical line (see diagram) with as few obstacles between each of the interconnected alarms as possible to ensure optimal signal transmission.

Locations to Avoid

1. Near large metal surfaces and/or bundles of wire.
2. Near fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment, or other devices that may transmit an RF signal, electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.

Recommended Placement

WARNING

1. THIS ALARM SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON.
2. INSTALLATION OF THE ALARM SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE OF FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES INCLUDING APPROPRIATE VENTILATION AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS.
