Operating principle
When a radio linked device (MCP, stand alone alarm or
smoke detector) is in alarm, it sends the information to
the radio link alarm interface module which changes its
state (change-over contact), thus transmitting the alarm
information to the intrusion control panel (or else).
Features
• External supply : 12 V (supplied by a control panel
for example)
• Standby consumption: 0.1 mA @ 12 V
• Alarm consumption : 25 mA @ 12 V
• Indoor environment
• Operating temperature : -10°C to +50°C
Housing
• Dimensions : H 83 mm x l 83 mm x D 46 mm
• Hole pitch : 40 mm
• Colour : red
Interconnection Capacity
• Number of smoke detectors and stand alone alarm
per radio link alarm
• Interface module : non restrictive
• Up to 10 radio link alarm interface module within a
system
• Radio range in free-eld condition : 100 meters

Wiring
The radio link alarm interface module allows to transmit a re alarm from radio linked alarm devices (MCP, stand alone alarm and smoke detector) to an
anti-intrusion control panel, a remote transmitter, a sounder, a beacon, etc.

Follow the steps to connect the radio link interface module to a smoke detector or a stand alone alarm
Cancel the connection with a smoke detector or a stand alone alarm
While in step 2, press for 10 seconds the conguration key (instead of 5 seconds) (see step 2 above). 4 long beeps will be heard indicating that the connection
is cancelled.
Checking radio link quality
When the slave element is in setting optimization mode, 1 to 5 beeps can be heard in steps of few seconds. Check the radio link quality according to the
number of beeps.

USE
Test
Regularly perform this test on all the connected smoke detectors. This test can’t be carried out on the connected manual call points or stand alone alarms.
2. All smoke detectors test
The all smoke detectors TEST function allows to check at any time the radio link quality between all the connected smoke detectors and the radio link alarm
interface module.
→ Press the interface module key (short press).
→ Test is activated for all the connected smoke detectors. A sound signal indicates that the radio signal is being sent.
Note : this function is inhibited in case of alarm.
→ Alarm signal
The interface module receives alarm information from connected smoke detectors, manual call points and stand alone
alarms.
When an alarm information is sent, the interface module red indicator is steady on.
20 seconds after the original alarm has disappeared, the interface module is automatically reset.
Test Signal Note
For 1 minute Beeps + red blinking indicator The number of beeps and blinking correspond to the radio link quality of
the last received signal.
Then for 4 minutes Red blinking indicator
→ To stop the TEST signal before the end of the test, press the interface module key.
1. One smoke detector test
The one smoke detector TEST function allows to check at any time the radio link quality between one smoke detector and the radio link alarm interface
module.
→ Press the TEST key of a connected smoke detector.
→ The TEST signal is sent to the interface module (for 5 minutes).
