Introduction
2.1 Product information
Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm (hereinafter referred to as the device) is
designed to continuously monitor smoke concentration. Adopting advanced split-
spectrum photoelectric chamber and a built-in high-volume buzzer, it responds
quickly and becomes highly sensitive with stable performance and low false
alarm. Once the surrounding smoke concentration reaches the alarm value, it
will promptly send out visual and audible alarm signal to remind the user to
take immediate measures. With a built-in RF module, the device enables you to
wirelessly connect up to 24 smoke alarms, constructing an interlinked network.
Once one device triggers an alarm, the alarm signal will be pushed to every
alarm in the interconnected network and they will raise the alarm in unison.
This product is designed for household or similar residential application such
as family home or apartment.

Interconnection
Prerequisite
- Remove the insulating film from the battery compartment to turn on the device.
- Make sure all smoke alarms are powered on to ensure a successful interconnection.
WARNUNG
Make sure that only 2 smoke alarms are powered on at a time to ensure
successful interconnection. Otherwise, the interconnection will fail or device
malfunction may occur.
How to interconnect
Step 1
Press the Test/Silence button on the device 1 continuously 4 times (the
interval between each press is less than 1 second), this device emits 1 short
quick beep and the red LED indicator flashes continuously (about once every
0.5 seconds), indicating the device 1 enters the interconnecting receiving
mode.
To ensure that all smoke alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure
only one smoke alarm enters interconnecting mode at a time.
Step 2
Press the Test/Silence button on device 2 twice (the interval between each
press is less than 1 second), this device emits 1 short quick beep and the red
LED indicator starts to flash rapidly (about once every 0.25 second),
indicating the device 2 enters the interconnecting transmission mode.
Step 3
Red LED indicator on device 2 will go solid and it will emit 1 short quick
beep, then the green LED indicator will flash continuously, which means the
pairing between two devices succeed. The green LED indicator will flash
continuously until device 1 quit the interconnecting mode, or you can press
the Test/Silence button on device 2 to force it enter the normal standby
state immediately.
Device 1 will be in interconnecting mode for 3 minutes with red LED indicator
flashing once every 0.5 seconds. During this period, you can pair several
wireless interconnected smoke alarms one by one. If needed, you can manually
press the Test/Silence button to help device 1 quit the interconnecting
mode, the red LED indicator will go solid for 3 seconds and green LED
indicator flashes once, then device 1 will emit 1 short quick beep, indicating
the device has already quit the interconnecting mode and enters normal standby
state. Once you press the button on device 1, the device 2 will follow device
1 to quit the interconnecting mode and enter the normal standby state.
Sten 4
(Optional) Interconnect device 3.
- If device 3 is in the interconnecting receiving mode of device 1 within 3 minutes, then press the Test/Silence button twice on device 3 to enter the interconnecting transmission mode. If the interconnecting receiving mode of device 1 surpasses 3 minutes, then press Test/Silence button on either of the two previously interconnected devices 4 times to enter the interconnecting receiving mode, then press the Test/Silence button twice on device 3 to the join interconnected network.
- If enters the interconnected network successfully, red LED indicator on device 3 will go solid and it will emit 1 short quick beep, then the green LED indicator will flash continuously until device 1 quit the interconnecting mode, or you can press the Test/Silence button on device 3 to force it enter the normal standby state immediately.
Step 5 If you want to connect more devices, please repeat
Step 4.
Up to 24 wireless smoke alarms can be interconnected this way.
Step 6
Refer to “Chapter 5 Operation; test all wireless interconnected smoke alarms
before installation to ensure they are interconnected well.
How to disconnect
Step 1 Continuously press the Test/Silence button 4 times on the
device that needs to unpair with other smoke alarms, and the device emits 1
short quick beep and red LED indicator starts to flash continuously.
Step 2
Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the red LED indicator goes solid,
then release the button. If the disconnection finished, the red LED indicators
on all smoke alarms in the interconnected network will go solid for 3 seconds,
then the green LED indicator will flash once together with buzzer beeps once.
You can connect it again to join an interlinked network.
Please disconnect all the wireless interconnected smoke alarms if you want to use them in another interconnected network.
Operation
After the installation of the Device or regular maintenance, a test must be
carried out to confirm that the Device is operating properly. During the
testing process, the defective Device should be addressed according to
“Frequently Asked Questions” and “Maintenance*, and then tested again. If it
fails to complete the test successfully, please send the Device to the
manufacturer for repair.
5.1 For a single smoke alarm
Test
Press the Test/Silence button, the red LED indicator will flash once, then the
buzzer will beep 3 times continuously together with red LED indicator flashing
3 times. Silence//Pause the alarm
When the smoke concentration reaches a predetermined threshold, the LED
indicator flashes, and the buzzer beeps (85dB). Press the Test/Silence
button on the device to temporarily mute alarm sound and the device will be in
the silence mode for 12 minutes.
CAUTION
You can silence this device with an infrared remote controller by pressing the
button on it and the device will pause the alarm. The alarm will automatically
exit silence mode after 12 minutes.
5.2 For interconnected smoke alarms
Test
- Press and hold the Test/Silence button on any interconnected smoke alarm until other interconnected smoke alarms in the network start to beep. The initiating device will beep continuously with the red LED indicator flashing. After receiving a signal, other interconnected devices in the network start beeping with the indicator lights flashing red and green alternately.
- Release the Test/Silence button on initiating interconnected device, the initiating device stops flashing and beeping, and other interconnected devices stop testing soon.
Release the Test/Silence button on initiating interconnected device, the
initiating device stops flashing and beeping, and other interconnected devices
stop testing soon.
Silence/Pause the alarm
Once the initiating device triggers an alarm, the device beeps with red LED
indicator flashing once per second. After several seconds, other
interconnected devices receive alarm signal with red LED indicator flashing
and the buzzer beeping 3 times (once per second).
- Press the Test/Silence button on initiating interconnected device. All interconnected devices are temporarily silenced.
- Press the Test/Silence button on any other interconnected device. The device that has been pressed is temporarily silenced, but the initiating interconnected device keeps beeping.
