EWF1 is a wireless photoelctric type smoke detector intended to use with ELDES alarm systems. Photoelectric smoke detectors are gener-
ally more eective at detecting smouldering res which smoulder for hours before bursting into ame. An optical method is used for the
detection of visible smoke. When the concentration of smoke in the optical chamber exceeds a given threshold, EWF1 sounds the alarm
and sends out a signal to the ELDES alarm system using the wireless connection and the system triggers the alarm. By default, when more
than one EWF1 device is used, the system will automatically activate the interconnection feature. See 4.1. Interconnection.
ESIM264 and EPIR2 alarm systems support up to 16 EWF1 devices, while ESIM364 - up to 32 EWF1 devices. The maximum wireless con-
nection range is 150 meters (in open areas).

3.PLACEMENT
1. Install the wireless smoke detector as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not practical, mount no closer than 10
centimeters from a wall or corner. Also, if local codes allow, install wireless smoke detectors on walls, between 10 and 30 centimeters
from ceiling/wall intersections.
2. Install a minimum of two wireless smoke detectors in every house, no matter how small the house is.
3. Install a wireless smoke detector in each room that is divided by a partial wall (either coming down from the ceiling at least 20 centim-
eters, or coming up from the oor).
NOTE: For best protection we recommend that you install a wireless smoke detector in every room.

ATTENTION: Incorrect placement will result in a decrease of operational eectiveness.
4.INSTALLATION
1. Detach the mounting plate by turning it counter-clockwise from
the back of EWF1 (see Fig. No. 5).
2. Secure the mounting plate to ceiling or wall with mounting
screws.(see Fig. No. 5).
3. Lift to open the battery pocket door (see Fig. No. 7)
4. Insert the battery into the battery pocket considering the po-
larity terminals indicated on the enclosure of EWF1. Ensure the
battery is securely connected. Red LED may ash briey when
the battery is being installed.
5. Close the battery pocket door by snapping it into place.
6. Position the smoke detector to the mounting plate by turning
it clockwise to lock into place. Note that the device will not lock
into the mounting plate without the battery being present in
the battery pocket.
7. Push the TEST button to verify if the wirless smoke detector is
operational. See 4.1. Testing EWF1.
8. Bind the device to the alarm system using ELDES Conguration
Tool software. Open Wireless Device Management section
and enter a 8-digit wireless device ID located on the EWF1
enclosure and click the Add button (see Fig. No. 6). The device
can also be bind by sending a corresponding command via SMS
text message. For more details, please refer to the software‘s
HELP section and ELDES alarm system installation manual.
9. Upon the successful binding process, EWF1 device icon be-
comes visible in Wireless Device Management section as
well as Battery Level and Signal Level (see Fig. No. 6).
10. EWF1 wireless smoke detector is ready for use.

4.1. Interconnection
The interconnection feature automatically links all wireless smoke detectors to each other that are connected to the same alarm system
unit. When any EWF1 detects smoke, it sounds the alarm and sends the signal to the alarm system that causes an instant alarm along
with the rest of EWF1 wireless smoke detectors. The device that detected smoke will auto-reset when the smoke clears, while the rest of
EWF1 detectors will sound according to the set time period (by default - 60 seconds). By default, the interconnection feature is enabled,
but can be disabled using ELDES Conguration Tool software.
