Set up and Interconnect Smoke Alarms

All XS01-WR alarms contain a built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more smoke alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected units will sound an alarm.
The XS01-WR wireless smoke alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. The alarms in each multi-pack have their own independent interlinked network. So, if you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to add them all into the same interlinked network.

How to Interconnect

1. To power on 2 smoke alarms, remove the battery insulating fi LMS from their battery compartments.
   Note : Make sure that only 2 smoke alarms are powered on at a time to ensure successful interconnection.

2. Press the test/silence button on one of the 2 smoke alarms 4 times, and this alarm will beep once and the red LED will fl ash continuously, indicating it has entered the interconnecting mode. After successfully creating an interlinked network, this alarm will beep once and automatically exit the interconnecting mode. To ensure that all smoke alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure only one smoke alarm enters interconnecting mode at a time.

3. If you want to interconnect a third smoke alarm, power it on and press the test/silence button 4 times to interconnect to the previously interconnected smoke alarms. Up to 24 smoke alarms can be interconnected this way.

4. Test the smoke alarm according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.
   

NOTES:

1. The smoke alarm will be in the interconnecting mode for 60 seconds, during which the red LED light ashes. After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. If needed, manually press the test/silence button to stop sending out an RF signal, and the red LED will stop ashing and the alarm will enter normal status.
2. Test all your wireless smoke alarms to ensure that they are interconnected before installation.
3. A maximum of 24 wireless smoke alarms can be interconnected.
4. Note that the X S01-WR alarm can only be interconnected with other X-sense wireless alarms.
   How to Disconnect
   Press the test/silence button 4 times and the smoke alarm will beep once, then hold down the button until it beeps once to disconnect. After disconnecting, you can connect it again to let it enter the interlinked network.
   Alarm Test
   The alarm must be properly attached to the mounting bracket before it can be tested.
   If your X S01-WR is interconnected to other wireless smoke alarms, we recommend that every individual smoke alarm is tested during the weekly test.

Test all interconnected smoke alarms

---|---|---
Action| Press the test/silence button.| Hold down the test/silence button.
Indication| ·The alarm will sound 3 short quick beeps.
·The red LED will flash once every second during the audible signal.| ·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.

NOTE : The test function accurately tests the alarm’s smoke sensing circuit without the need for test 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.

Installation Positioning

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 fl door 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 a minimum distance away from the corner.
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 space.
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.  Nea r large metal surfaces and/or bundles of wire.
2. Near fl fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment, or other devices that may transmit an RF signal, as electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.

WARNING!

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

Installation Method

1. Use the mounting bracket to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.
2. Drill holes at the two marks using an appropriately-sized drill bit. Insert the anchor plugs and screw the mounting bracket using the screws provided.
3. Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
4. Test the smoke alarm according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.

NOTE : Before installation, it is recommended to test the interconnected smoke alarms in diff event rooms where you intend to install these alarms to ensure that they are within the transmission range. Battery Replacement

• To replace the battery, detach the smoke alarm from the mounting bracket by twisting counterclockwise.
• Pull the battery removal tab to remove the battery, and then install a new battery, matching the correct polarity markings.
• Test the alarm, and then mount the alarm onto the mounting bracket by twisting clockwise
  to lock the alarm.

Maintenance

To keep your smoke alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:

1. Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing the unit once a week.
2. As a minimum, your smoke alarm should be cleaned once every 3 months: Remove the unit from the ceiling and clean the alarm cover and vents with your vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt.
3. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect fi re.
6. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
7. When removed, place the smoke alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fi re.
8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
