WIRELESS SMOKE ALARM INTERCONNECT BASE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base part number 51000-300 is a 120V AC
powered sensor. It monitors the interconnect line on interconnected hardwired smoke
alarm systems and sends out a transmission when any of the smoke alarm units on the
same circuit enter an alarm state. The device has LEDs to visually indicate the status of the
interconnect base. A single CR2032 baery provides backup power in the event that AC
power is lost on the alarm system circuit. The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base
communicates with a compable control panel and can send alarm, low baery, AC power
loss, and supervisory messages to the system's receiver.

Figure 7. Crimping Wiretaps onto Wires
Figure 8. Wiretap Connecons
Wiring the Connections
Before connecng the wires from the interconnect base, idenfy the (+) line (hot)
120VAC wire and the neutral wire. Usually the (+) line (hot) 120VAC wire will be black
and the neutral wire white. Use a voltmeter or voltage sensor to verify that the proper
wires are selected. You may need to reconnect power to the electrical circuit powering
the interconnected hardwired smoke detectors in order to do this (Figure 8).
WARNING: Remember to disconnect or shut oelectrical power to the interconnected
hardwired smoke detector if it was powered on in the previous step to idenfy the
120VAC wires.
Use an electrician’s linesman plier or equivalent tool (See Figure 8) and using the installed
wiretaps on the device, crimp the wiretap with the black wire onto the 120VAC line
(hot) wire.
ATTENTION : Ne pas oublier de déconnecter ou couper le courant électrique pour le
détecteur de fumée câblé s’il avait été alimenté auparavant pour idener les ls 120 AC.
Uliser une pince d’électricien ou un oul équivalent (voir image 8) et en ulisant les
connecteurs installés sur l’appareil, serr le connecteur avec le l noir sur la ligne 120VAC
(posif).
✓NOTE: Wiretaps must be used on a secon of stranded wire. This is typically located
between the connector to the smoke detector and the wire nut.
The wiretap with the yellow wire should be aached to the wire lead connected to the
interconnect wire of the smoke detector. This wire is typically yellow or orange.
Once all (3) three wiretaps have been installed (Figure 8), reaach the electrical wire
pigtail to the back of the smoke detector unit and mount the smoke alarm on the
mounng base (Refer to Figure 3).
Installing the Back-Up Battery
Figure 9. Installing Back-up Baery
WARNING: Ensure that the interconnect base has been wired correctly. Damage to
the interconnect base may occur if the 120 VAC line (hot) wire neutral wire are reversed.
The unit may fail to funcon properly if incorrectly wired.
Turn on or reconnect power to the primary electrical circuit that powers the
interconnected hardwired smoke alarm system. The device should now power on.
Use a at bladed tool, slide out the baery tray that holds the backup baery. Insert
a CR2032A baery (included) into the baery slot. Slide the baery tray back into the
device (Figure 9).
ATTENTION : S’assurer que le détecteur de fumée a été branché correctement. Le capteur
du détecteur de fumée pourrait être endommagé si le l de la ligne 120AC (posif) et
le l neutre sont inversés. L’appareil pourrait ne pas fonconner correctement s’il était
mal branché. Etablir ou rétablir le courant du circuit électrique principal qui alimente
le système câblé de détecon de fumée. L’appareil devrait à présent s’allumer. Ulisant
un oul à lame plate, coulisser le roir de la pile de sécurité. Insérer une pile CR2032A
(incluse) dans l’emplacement. Coulisser à nouveau le roir pour le refermer (image 9).
✓NOTE: Orient the (+) baery terminal up so that it is visible when facing the unit.
Programming the Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base
Follow the instrucons on how to program a sensor into a compable control panel. See
the control panel’s Installaon & Programming Guide for more informaon on how to
learn a sensor into the control panel.
The device should learn in as a sensor device. Use a small paper clip or other sharp
object and carefully insert into the learn/test buon hole. This will send out an alarm
transmission ID so the the sensor can be learned into a compable control panel or can
be used to test that the transmier is working properly.
Replacing the Battery
If the compable control panel shows that this sensor has a low baery, the backup
baery may need to be replaced.
Use a at headed screw driver or other tool to slide the baery tray out of the device.
Remove the baery from the tray and replace with a new CR2032A baery. Slide the
baery tray back into the unit, making sure that the tray is fully inserted into the unit.
✓NOTE: Use Panasonic CR2032A baeries or equivalent. Use of another baery may
damage or negavely aect the operaon of the device.
End-of-Life
The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base does not have an End-of-Life (EOL), however
the smoke alarm(s) that this device monitors may have an EOL condion. Follow the
owner's manual for the smoke alarm regarding instrucons on proper smoke alarm EOL
condions.

Testing the Smoke Alarm System
Figure 10. Locaon of LEDs and Learn/Test Buon Hole
The device should be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 guidelines. The following
instrucons are intended to provide a general guideline on how to test the smoke alarm
system, wireless smoke alarm interconnect base and communicaons to an alarm panel.
Follow the smoke alarm instrucon manual on tesng the smoke alarm and any
interconnected units. There usually is a test buon on the smoke alarm that can be
pressed to iniate a test mode. This should cause the sounder to alarm and also any
smoke alarms that are interconnected to also alarm.
The interconnect base should send out a transmission to a compable alarm panel.
If this transmission is not received, rst check if the Smoke alarm is properly programmed
into a compable alarm panel. Please follow the alarm panel instrucons on learning in
a sensor.
Also, check that the interconnect wire on the smoke alarm is properly connected to the
Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base. The LEDs on the interconnect base should
ash red indicang that it has received the alarm signal from the smoke alarm .
Testing the Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base Radio Trans-
mission Only
The Wireless Interconnect Base incorporates a small test buon. This test buon can be
acvated by inserng a straightened paper clip or sharp object into the Learn/Test hole.
The Smoke Detector Sensor will then send an alarm signal transmission to a compable
alarm panel. This can be used to test that the Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base
will send a proper transmission to an alarm panel. This DOES NOT test if the wiring
between the smoke alarm and the interconnect base is correct.
