This user manual contains important information about your smoke 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

Thank you for your purchase. This smoke alarm uses photoelectric technology, which is effective at detecting large particles commonly produced during smoldering fires that may smolder for hours before igniting. Multiple XSOB-MR smoke alarms can be connected to the X-Sense 5B550 base station using the X-Sense Home Security app. After connecting to the base station, these alarms will be interconnected, so when one alarm is triggered, all will sound an alarm.
This alarm supports Link+ Pro. Please note the following:

  1. Only devices that are advertised as supporting Link’ Pro can be connected to the app via the base station.
  2. Link’ Pro supports both base station connection and a customizable wireless network as separate networks. You can only connect a device to one of them at a time. If you connect them to the base station, you’ll receive app notifications but lose the customizable wireless network. Choosing the customizable wireless network means disconnecting from the base station and losing app notifications. Wireless interconnection is supported regardless of your choice.
  3. This device can be interconnected with other Link’ series devices to create a customizable wireless network.
  4. Switching between the base station and a customizable wireless network is simple and can be done at any time by following the corresponding adding method.
  5. Please note that the interlinked test function is not supported by the base station.

How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms

All X-Sense 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 wireless interconnected alarms contain 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 alarms, but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.
The X-Sense 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 toit.
NOTE: The fa/lawing instructions regarding wireless interconnection are applicable to the X-Sense Link’ Pro and 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.
  2. Quickly press the test/silence button on one of the 2 units 4 times. The device will say “Searching for a new device”; it will beep once and the LED will fiash blue slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode. Quickly press the test/silence button on the other unit twice. The device will say, ‘Ready to connect’, the device will beep once and the LED will fiash blue 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 say “Connected,” then beep once and automatically exit the pairing mode.
  4. If you want to connect a third alarm to this group, quickly press the test/silence button on either of the 2 previously interconnected units 4 times. Then quickly press the test/silence button twice on the third device.
  5. To add more units, repeat step 4. Please note that simply press the test/silence button 4 times an any device in the network and twice an the device you want to add. However, for the XH02-M, you should press its pairing button located an the back, not the test/silence button on the front.
  6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section ‘Alarm Test.’

Installation Positioning

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.X-Sense-‎XS0B-MR61-Smoke-Alarm-With-Base-Station-fig
\(9\)

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.

Installation Locations

  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 fioor 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 at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
  5. If an alarm is installed on a wall, it should be at a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling.
  6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), you will need to install several alarms 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 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.

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.
  3. TO PREVENT INJURY, THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE CEILING OR WALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
  4. BATTERIES SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT SUCH AS DIRECT SUNLIGHT, FIRE, ETC.

Mounting Steps

Alarm Mode

For devices connected to the base station:

  • When an alarm is triggered, an in-a pp message will appear and an alarm push notification will be sent to yoursmartphone.
  • When one alarm is triggered, all devices connected to the system and the base station will sound an alarm simultaneously.
  • The base station will automatically mute after 10 minutes of continuous alarm. After the base station stops the alarm, all devices in the interconnected system will still alarm.
  • In the case that the base station powers off and is disconnected from the network, all devices are still interconnected, so when one alarm is triggered, all will go off.
  • The volume level of the base station is adjustable. The alarms and base station can be remotely muted through the app. An app push notification will be sent to your phone when the smoke drops below the alarm threshold.
  1. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke:
    When one XS0B-MR smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with LED flashing red. Any other units will follow suit-they will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession. When the smoke concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.

  2. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO:
    When one CO alarm in the interconnected network trigger an alarm, the CO alarm will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. The XS0B-MR and other interconnected units 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. When theCO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease. For more details, please see “LED Indicator and Audible Alarm~

NOTES

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. If the initiating alarm is a voice alarm with location support (such as XSOB- MR), the other interconnected voice alarms with location support will also provide location information. However, if the initiating alarm is without location support, the father interconnected voice alarms with location support (such as XSOB-MR) will relay the voice alert without specifying the location.This alarm has a relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection coverage

Silence Mode

You can silence the device by pressing the test/silence button on the device or tapping the silence button in the app. If you press the silence button during an alarm state, the device will say’Smoke alarm silenced”and a push notification will be sent to your phone (when connected to the base station). Then the unit will be in the silence mode for 9 minutes. During the silence mode, the LED flashes red 3 times every 4 seconds. After 9 minutes, the LED will flash green 3 times and the alarm will enter the normal mode.
When Connected to the Base Station When an alarm is triggered, you can press the Silence button on the base station to silence all passive interlinked alarms except the initiating alarm. To silence the initiating alarm, simply press the test/silence button on the device. Additionally, you can tap the “Silence All” button in the app to silence the base station and all alarms, including the initiating one. You can tap the Locate button in the app to find the initiating alarm; all devices will stop alarming except the initiating alarm. Simply silence the initiating alarm by tapping the silence icon in the app or by pressing the test/silence button on the device.

When Not Connected to the Base Station

Simply press the test/silence button on one of the devices to silence the interconnected system, however only silencing the initiating alarm will silence all other interconnected alarms. The initiating alarm will report the voice”Smoke alarm silenced” and all other interconnected alarms won’t.

NOTES

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. 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.

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 anddirt.
  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 fire.
  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 fire.
  8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated
