FireAngel FIR-FUNKMODULE Z Wave Plus Device
INTRODUCTION
This wireless module is designed to be installed in a Wi-Safe 2 compatible
smoke/heat alarm or Wi-Safe 2 compatible Carbon Monoxide alarm which offers an
additional option for wireless connectivity (and which is not already wireless
enabled). For the current range of Wi-Safe 2 compatible products see
www.fireangeltech.com
When the wireless module is fitted into a Wi-Safe 2 compatible FireAngel
Safety Technology Limited smoke/heat alarm or carbon monoxide alarm it enables
the unit to be wirelessly interlinked with other Wi-Safe 2 enabled products.
When any of the interlinked products are triggered by smoke/heat (or carbon
monoxide in the case of CO alarms), that unit will transmit messages to the
other units in the network, sounding all the alarms in the system
simultaneously, which means they provide the earliest warning of fire, to the
maximum number of people. Any number of units from two, up to fifty alarms can
be interlinked into a single network.
NOTE
You will need the User Manual of the product into which you are installing the
wireless module in order to then wirelessly interconnect the product with
other alarms in the network. If this is not available please contact Technical
Support on 0330 094 5830 or download from

HOW TO INSTALL A WI SAFE 2 WIRELESS MODULE W2-MODULE
When you’re ready to install the wireless module into the compatible alarm, ensure you observe ESD handling guidelines.
- Remove the label which covers the module aperture at the back of the unit.
- Avoid carpeted areas in cool, dry areas if possible, and reduce static electricity if necessary by touching a grounded metal object.
- Carefully remove the module from its packaging, handling the module only by the protective plastic cover, to avoid electrostatic discharge.
- Be careful not to touch the components or connector pins.
- Carefully plug the module into the aperture in the unit as shown, pushing down until it lies flat within the base of the unit.
The unit is now ready to be “learned – in” (interlinked) to additional Wi-Safe 2 products.
LEARNING IN INTERLINKING YOUR WI SAFE 2 UNITS
The process below describes ‘learning in’ two Wi-Safe 2 alarms into a network, Alarm 1 and Alarm 2. Alarm 2 will be the unit into which you have installed the Wireless Module. It is recommended that you read through these instructions prior to starting the process.
Alarm 1
Before starting, refer to the product’s to ensure the alarm is activated and ready to be learned in, with its mounting plate (if appropriate) attached. Please test the unit once after mounting to baseplate.
Alarm 2
Using a pen, a very small screwdriver or paper clip that has been opened out, briefly push and release the learn button located in a small hole in the wireless module.
The red LED next to the learn in button will flash briefly then light up for approximately five seconds to show that it is ready to receive the “learn in” signal. During the next 5 seconds you will need to briefly press the test button on Alarm 1 to wirelessly interlink the two alarms.
- Alarm 1: Will give an audible sound consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud beeps.
- Alarm 2: The red LED on the wireless module of alarm 2 will flash to indicate that it has been “learned-in” successfully.
NOTE
If the test button is not pressed quickly enough (before the red LED on the
wireless module of Alarm 2 has extinguished), the learn-in process will fail.
If this happens, repeat the learn- process again, as desc Additional products
should be learned in in the same way. When learning in additional alarms, any
alarm already in the network, can be used as Alarm 1. This means that you can
learn the additional alarm into any unit already in the network. It will then
become part of the whole network. You do not need to learn in the additional
alarm into each alarm in the network. After completing the learn in
procedure, test the alarms. If any interlinked alarm fails to respond to the
alarm test repeat the learning in process. If the product continues to fail to
operate correctly, please contact Technical Support on 0330 094 5830 or email
technicalsupport@fireangeltech.com
NOTE
The wireless range of the module is over 200 metres in clear air/clear line of
sight. Always ensure that after any building work or after repositioning large
items of furniture (, sofas, shelving units etc, you carry out an alarm test
on all networked alarms to ensure they are all still communicating. It is
recommended not to exceed 35m as the maximum distance between any interlinked
Wi-Safe 2 alarm. Ideally, each unit should have three or more units within 35m
of its location.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Problem | Solution Alarm with W2 Module |
|---|
Your alarm does not sound during testing.
| Check positioning. The wireless signal might be blocked or out of range.
If you are in the process of learning in the alarm and it does not test – repeat the process.
If the alarm still fails to self test, please contact Technical Support.
Your smoke alarm activates when no smoke is visible.| If the alarm is sounding
but the red LED is only flashing once every 45 seconds, this indicates that an
interlinked alarm has initiated alarm. Vacate the property if there is a fire
hazard.
Your alarm chirps intermittently.| If your alarm is chirping once every 4
hours, it is indicating that another alarm in the network has entered a low
power pack condition. Locate the alarm with the low battery condition and
replace the alarm as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days.
Other interlinked units fail to silence when one unit is silenced.
| ****
Interlinked units that have sensed a hazard can’t be silenced. If one or more unit remains in alarm, all other interlinked units will emit their audible warning again within 4 minutes. Vacate the property if there is a fire hazard.
You experience frequent unwanted alarms.
| ****
Any activated alarm will cause other interlinked alarms to sound. Carry out these checks on the
activated alarms in particular (red LED flashing rapidly during alarm).
The amber LED is flashing and the alarm is making a “chirping” sound.
| ****
If the amber LED is double flashing and the alarm is making a “chirping” sound, this indicates that the wireless module has a low power pack condition, or is faulty. The W2 Module should be replaced as soon as possible.
If the alarm fails to operate correctly, the advice of the
manufacturer should be sought.
| ****
If you have any questions about the operation of your alarm, please contact Technical Support.
