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 contain wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense LinValarms, 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 own 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 are applicable 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 successful connection
   NOTE: To turn on XS01-WR, remove the battery insulating film from the battery compartment. To learn how to turn on different models of wireless interlinked alarms, please refer to their specific user manual for more details.

2. Quickly press the test/silence button on one of the 2 units 4 times; it will beep once and the red LED will flash 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 red LED will flash 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.

How to Add X-Sense Link’ Wireless Interlinked Alarms to the X-Sense XS01-WR Network
The XS01-WR model has 2 versions: the old version, XS01-WR, and the new version, X-Sense Link XS01 WR, which have different interconnection methods. The new version belongs to the X-Sense Link series and there is a “Link*” icon on the label on the back of the unit. Check whether the”Link+” icon is on the label to distinguish between these 2 versions

NOTES:

1. The following instructions for wireless interconnection are only applicable to the old version of the X Sense XS01-WR wireless interlinked smoke alarms, not the X-Sense Link’ wireless interlinked alarms. If you have purchased the old version of the XS01-WR alarms, you can add X-Sense Link’ wireless
2. If you have purchased the old version of the XS01-WR alarms, you can add X-Sense Link’ wireless interlinked alarms into the existing XS01-WR interconnected network.
   • To ensure that an X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarm successfully connects to an X-Sense XS01 WR network, choose one of the previously interconnected XS01-WR smoke alarms, remove it from the mounting bracket, and keep this alarm at least 33 ft (10 m) away from the other alarms in the existing network.
   • Turn on one X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarm according to its operating instructions. Quickly press its test/silence button twice; the alarm will beep once, and the LED will flash red rapidly as it searches for a network to connect to. Next, quickly press the test/silence button 4 times on the XS01 WR alarm that was removed from the mounting bracket; it will beep once and the LED will flash red rapidly, indicating it is ready to add a new device to the network.
   • After the two units successfully pair, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode. At this point, the X-Sense Link* alarm has also joined the existing XS01-WR network. Both units will only flash once per minute, indicating they are in normal standby mode.
   • If you want to connect more X-Sense Link wireless interlinked alarms, simply repeat step 1-2. Up to 24 alarms can be interconnected this way. To  ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you add X-Sense Link wireless interlinked alarms one at a time.
   • Test the alarms according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test’

How to Disconnect
Quickly press the test/silence button 4 times; the smoke 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 Test

Be sure to test your smoke 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* XS01-WR is interconnected to other wireless smoke alarms, we recommend that every individual smoke alarm is tested during the weekly test.

| Test a single alarm| Test all interconnected smoke alarms
---|---|---
Action| Press thetest/silence button.| Hold down the test/silence button.
·   The initiating smoke alarm will beep continuously with the red LED flashing.

·   Other interconnected smoke alarms in the network will receive the

signal after 5 seconds, and they will beep continuously with the red LED flashing. Release the test/silence button and all the smoke alarms will stop testing.

·   The alarm testing should be completed within 3 minutes.

·   After testing, the alarm will automatically enter standby mode.

NOTE: The test function accurately tests the alarm’s smoke sensing circuit without the need to test with smoke. If your smoke alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please refer immediately to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Never use an open flame to test this device.

Installation Positioning

NOTE: If a smoke alarm is installed in a kitchen, ensure it has an accessible silence button, and install it as far away from the stove and sink as possible to avoid false alarms

1. Prioritize the installation of an 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 to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor 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 that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. In multi-level houses or apartments, install at least one wireless smoke 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, as electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
