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 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 alarms, but is not designed to communicate with
wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.

The wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected to each other, so
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, but you do not have to
disconnect each alarm individually. 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 X-SENSE
wireless interlinked alarms only.
How to Interconnect
1. Make sure you only work with 2 units at a time, and that they are both activated to ensure successful
connection.
NOTE: To activate your alarms, remove the back cover from the device and pull out 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 manuals for more details.
2. Press the pinhole pairing button on the back of one of the two units using the included pin. It will beep
once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode and is waiting for a new
unit to be added. Hold down the pinhole pairing button on the other unit until it beeps once and its
LED flashes red rapidly as it is searching for a unit 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 every 60
seconds, indicating they are in normal standby mode.
4. If you want to connect a third alarm to this group, first activate the new device according to its
operating instructions. Press the pinhole pairing button on either of the two previously interconnected
units using the included pin, it will beep once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it has
entered pairing mode and is waiting for a new unit to be added. Hold down the pinhole pairing button
on the new unit until it beeps once and its LED flashes red rapidly as it searches for a network to
which it can connect. After the third unit successfully joins the interconnected network, both units will
beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode.
5. If you want to connect more units, simply repeat step 4.Up to 24 alarms can be interconnected this
way. To ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you only work
with 2 units at a time—one unit enters the pairing mode and the other unit enters the searching
mode.
6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.

NOTES
1. The alarm will enter the searching mode or the pairing mode for 60 seconds with the LED flashing red.
After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. If needed, press the pinhole pairing button once
while the alarm is in the searching mode or the pairing mode, and the LED will stop flashing red and
the alarm will quit the pairing mode to enter normal status.
2. Test all wireless alarms to ensure they are interconnected before installation.
3. A maximum of 24 wireless alarms can be interconnected on the same network.
4. The model can only be interconnected with other X-SENSEwireless interlinked alarms.
How to Disconnect
Press the pinhole pairing button using the pin and the unit will beep once. Then, hold down the pairing
button until the unit beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can be reconnected to the same
network, or added to a new network.

Alarm Test
Be sure to test your 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 S-RF500is interconnected to other wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual
alarm is tested during the weekly test.

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 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 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.

Alarm Mode
The X-SENSE wireless interlinked alarms can be interconnected such that any unit that senses danger will
cause all other units in the interconnected network to alarm.
1. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke:
When one smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times, paired with
the LED that flashes red every 4 seconds. Any other interlinked units will follow suit—they will beep 3
times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession.

2. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO:
When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8
seconds, paired with the LED flashing red.Any other interlinked units in the network 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 once with every beep. When the CO concentration level drops below the
alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.
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.
This alarm has a relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection
coverage.
Silence Mode
If you press the silence button during an alarm state, the unit will be in the silence mode for 9 minutes.
During the silence mode, the LED will flash red once every 5 seconds. The alarm will enter the normal
mode after 9 minutes.
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.
Technical Specifications
Power Supply Replaceable 3 V CR123A lithium battery
Operating Life 10 years

NOTES
Battery life is calculated on the current ratings in the standby mode with weekly testings. If its
operation mode changes to an alarming condition, the battery life will be decreased accordingly.
The smoke alarm functions between 40 and 100°F (4.4 and 37.8°C). Prolonged exposure to
temperatures outside of this range can reduce battery life and affect accuracy. We do not
recommend operating the device outside of this range.
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.
