INSTALLING THE FSA-50000 MODULE AND UTILISING WIRELESS INTERCONNECT  (If applicable)

The FSA-50000 Wireless Module has been developed exclusively for the MATelec FSA-60000 and FSA-30000 Smoke Alarms. This enables both wired and wireless smoke detectors to be utilised in one installation. The FSA-60000 Smoke Detector is supplied separate to the FSA-50000 Module. Please contact your dealer for all enquiries. The FSA-60000 comes without the module installed. Only install the module if the alarm is being interconnected. If multiple units are being wire interconnected, then only 1 module per group of wired alarms should be installed.

1. Isolate Mains/AC power.

2. Select optimum location for your smoke alarm as per earlier details.

3. Remove the ‘blank module’ from the smoke alarm.

4. Insert the FSA-50000 Wireless Module in slot provided.

5. Insert the battery and close the alarm. The alarm will automatically search for the module after being closed. The red LED flashes continuously while the unit checks if the module is installed.

6. If no other alarms are found to pair with, the red LED will extinguish after 8 seconds, and unit will beep 3 times in quick succession. The red LED will then flash twice quickly, every 8 seconds. This indicates that while the module has been recognized, the unit is not yet paired.

7. If module was not installed correctly, or otherwise not recognized by the alarm, the red LED will extinguish after 8 seconds, no beeps will be heard, and the red LED will not flash twice every 8 seconds.

8. Repeat these steps with all alarms to be interconnected.

DEVELOP AN ESCAPE PLAN
As part of your plan, all family members should know and/or practice:

1. The two quickest ways out of each room
2. How to exit from upstairs, for homes with a second story. A rope or chain may be required.
3. An agreed upon meeting place outside, such as the letterbox
4. The sound of the smoke alarm and practice leaving your home when they hear it.
5. A fire drill at least every six months including drills at nights. Practice allows you to test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important that they know what to do!

WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS

1. Alert any small children and elderly persons.

2. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting
   dressed or picking up valuables.

3. In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

4. Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if possible.

5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

6. Call the Fire Brigade on 000.

7. Don’t return to your home until officials say that it is safe to do so. For further information on fire safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
