01. INTRODUCTION
The Smoke Sensor is a smart smoke detector with a beautiful and minimalist
design. It is made from high quality materials and is resistant to high
temperatures. It has been designed to rapidly react to the least amount of
smoke. The optical sensor detects smoke at an early stage of a fire, often before
any flames appear and before the temperature starts to rise significantly around
it.
Our product is extremely easy to install in any location where a fire may occur.
The alarm is signaled by sound and a LED, it can be battery-operated or VDC
powered. The smoke sensor carries out an automatic efficiency test every 5
seconds. The Smoke Sensor is designed to be placed on a wall or ceiling.

The LED indicator warns of a fire in operating mode, and is used to check
whether the device is within the range of the Z-Wave network. The smoke
sensor is designed to operate in confined spaces, under normal conditions (free
from dust or condensed water vapor).
The Smoke Sensor is a universal, optical Z-Wave smoke detector. The device
can be hard-wired (12 or 24 VDC) or battery operated. Smoke detection is
signaled through a sound alarm and a flashing LED. Additionally, the smoke
sensor signal can be sent wirelessly to the Active SmartHome Gateway.

02. POWERING MODES
There are two powering modes for the Smoke Sensor. By default it is powered
by a factory-included battery. Alternatively it can operate with a constant current,
after connecting a 12/24 VDC power source to the +12/24 and GND terminals
(see figure 01). When powered by a battery, the Smoke Sensor communicates
with the Active SmartHome Gateway periodically, although smoke detection is
sent immediately. Some of the configuration parameters, including a low battery
warning, are sent periodically at specified start-up intervals, or at a manual start-
up (press the B-button three times, see fig. 01).

The Smoke Sensor can be battery operated. Battery life is approximately 3
years when in optimum mode. The low battery level warning is displayed in the
“Security” interface next to the icon in the “Main” tab. The device itself, separate
from the Active SmartHome Gateway, also monitors the battery level and a low
battery is signaled by a yellow flashing LED and an intermittent sound alarm.
The Smoke Sensor can signal a low battery level for approximately 30 days.
It is not possible to power the device from a battery and a VDC power
source at the same time. When using a VDC power source it is
recommended that another kind of power back-up is used. The Active
SmartHome checks the battery level twice a day.
2.2. Switching to a constant current powering mode
1. If necessary reset the Smoke Sensor (see section 6).
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Install the constant power connecting terminal (see fig. 02).
4. Add the Smoke Sensor to the Active SmartHome Platform (see section 03).
Incorrect wiring may cause a hazard or result in damage to the device.

04. SENSOR INSTALLATION
Installing the Smoke Sensor:
1. As before, ensure that the Smoke Sensor is near to the Active SmartHome
Gateway, as the process can ONLY be carried out within the direct range of
the Active SmartHome Gateway.
2. Test the Z-Wave network range by performing a Walk Test ensuring the
device is within range (see section 4.1.).
3. The Smoke Sensor must have been added to Active SmartHome Portal
first (see section 3).
4. If the sensor is to be hard-wired to a power source, drill holes in the
sensor’s cover (Fig. 08).

05. SMOKE DETECTION
The Smoke Sensor responds to the physical presence of smoke. The Smoke
Sensor performs a self-test every 5 seconds and checks for the presence of
smoke. When smoke is detected, the sensor checks 3 more times at a 1 second
interval to see whether the smoke is actually present. Once the presence of
smoke is confirmed, the Smoke Sensor triggers an alarm and also emits a
constant sound signal along with the LED flashing red.
Once the smoke alarm has stopped, the sensor checks 3 times at a 1 second
interval whether the smoke has actually disappeared before returning to normal
operation mode.
The Smoke Sensor is a multiple use device, however, for greater
safety, it is recommended that the device is replaced with a new one
after a fire has occurred.
