4) If linking failed, the LED will indicate “linking failure mode”; perform this procedure again.
CHECKING THE WIRELESS LINK QUALITY
It is possible to check wireless link quality between the detector and its linked-to translator or expander module in this way:
1) Move the link switch onto the “ON” position.
2) Detector’s LED indicator will start blinking according to table 2:
3) Move the link switch to position “1” again; device will NOT WORK if the link switch is on position “ON”!
DETECTOR INSTALLATION
For detector spacing, placement and special applications refer to your specific national standards.
Mount the detector as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors,
cables (especially from computers), otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop. The detector must NOT be installed near
electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with its wireless link quality.
1) Choose for the detector a placement position that:
a) Compliances with your specific standards.
b) Is reached by a strong wireless signal from its linked-to translator or expander module.
c) Is not interfered by environmental factors (as per note above).
2) Install and fix the base, in the selected position, with the screws provided (picture 3).
3) Install the detector onto the base (picture 3).
4) Carry out a test of the device to meet local regulations (see TESTING).
5) If the detector fails the test:
- Clean it if dirty (see MAINTENANCE - CLEANING).
- Change batteries if low battery is indicated on the translator (see MAINTENANCE - BATTERY CHANGING).
6) Test the detector again (see TESTING).
7) If the detector fails the test again replace it (see WARRANTY).
LINK QUALITY EVALUATION DEVICE’S INDICATION

Picture 3
From the moment you switch
on “1” to the moment linking
comes to an end, the detector
must be only a few inches
away from the translator or expander
you are linking to.
Dust covers DO NOT provide
complete protection against
contamination: detectors
should be removed before construc-
tion, major re-decoration or other dust
producing work is started.
Dust covers MUST be removed before
the system can be made operational.

DETECTOR BLOCK
To lock the detector to the base:
1) Cut off the small plastic lug on the plastic blocking grip on the detector base (picture 4).
2) Install the detector onto the base.
3) Check if the detector is effectively locked!
To unlock the detector from the base:
1) Insert the tip of a small screwdriver into the side hole of the supporting base (picture 5).
2) Push and keep down, with the tip of the screwdriver, the blocking grip on the base.
3) Uninstall the detector from the base.
TAMPER DETECTION CAPABILITY
The wireless optical smoke detector is provided with a tamper switch: in case of removal of the detector from its base, a tamper detection
message is sent to the control panel.
TESTING
All detectors must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
After each test reset the fire security system from the control panel, as per your control panel instructions.
TEST 1 - MAGNET TEST
Purpose: checking the alarm capability of the detector by using the built-in test circuitry;
no alarming agent (aerosol) is used.
1) Hold a suitable magnet in correspondence of the indicated area (picture 6).
2) Wait a few seconds.
3) If it works, the detector will switch into “Alarm mode” (as indicated by the LED indicator).
TEST 2 - AEROSOL TEST
Purpose: checking the alarm capability of the detector by using aerosol.
Use only suitable aerosol testers supplied by approved manufacturers.
1) By following its specific instructions, apply the aerosol test device to the detector.
2) Wait a few seconds.
3) If it works, the detector will switch into “Alarm mode” (as indicated by the LED indicator).
MAINTENANCE - CLEANING
1) Remove the detector from its base.
2) Smoke entry areas: use a small, soft bristle brush to dislodge any obvious contaminants such as insects, spider webs, hairs, etc.
3) Smoke entry areas: use a small vacuum tube or dry, clean, compressed air to suck up or blow any remaining small particles away.
4) Wipe the exterior housing of the detector with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to remove any surface film that can later attract airborne
contaminants.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant to environmen-
tal deterioration. However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to replace the devices in order to
minimize the risk of reduced performance caused by external factors. Ensure that this device is only used with
compatible control panels. Detection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to
confirm correct operation. Smoke sensors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus
application advice should be sought for special risks. Sensors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist between
them and the fire location and may be affected by special environmental conditions. Refer to and follow national
codes of practice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards. Appropriate risk assessment
should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
