INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT: If you are installing this product for
use by others, you must leave this manual (or a copy
of it) for the end user.
Wi-Safe 2 technology enables wireless interlinking
between Wi-Safe 2 products.
The Strobe and Vibrating Pad, when interlinked with
Wi-Safe 2 smoke, heat and/or carbon monoxide (CO)
alarms will provide warning of danger from smoke
and/or carbon monoxide.
In addition to the audible sound from your smoke,
heat or CO alarm, the flashing Strobe and Vibrating
Pad will be triggered to alert those who may not be
able to hear the audible alarm. The flashing strobe
provides a visual warning for waking hours, while
the vibrating pad is designed to be placed under a
pillow or a mattress and is suitable for waking an
individual to alert them when an alarm sounds. If
placed under a mattress, ensure the thickness of the
mattress does not cushion the pad to the extent it
cannot be felt adequately.
KEY FEATURES
• Wi-Safe 2 products can be interlinked to create
a network, meaning if smoke or CO triggers any
alarm in the network, all other networked alarms
and ancillary devices activate.
• When used with Wi-Safe 2 enabled smoke, heat
and/or CO alarms, the kit provides additional
protection when sound alone may not be enough.
• Provides a simple two button “learn in” process to
wirelessly interlink with Wi-Safe 2 smoke, heat or
CO alarms.
• The Strobe provides a remote low level testing
facility for testing interlinked smoke and CO

5
alarms, avoiding the need to reach up to ceiling
mounted alarms to test.
• Mains powered with rechargable battery back-up
(must be replaced after 5 years).
• The Strobe will detect and demonstrate a fault or
low battery warning with any smoke alarm or CO
alarm within the interlinked network.
• The Strobe is suitable for wall mounting with 2
screw fixings or free standing.
• Designed for use with smoke, heat and CO alarms
from the Wi-Safe 2 range.
Wi-Safe 2 Strobe and Vibrating Pad Pack

NOTE: The Strobe and Vibrating Pad is only
compatible with Wi-Safe 2 alarms from Sprue
Safety Products. It cannot be wirelessly
interlinked with other manufacturers’
products. It is not compatible with products
from Sprue Safety Products original
Wi-Safe range.
INSTALLING THE STROBE
AND VIBRATING PAD
PREPARATION: Please ensure you have read
and understood this manual before installing your
Strobe and Vibrating Pad.
It is recommended that for optimum protection
from smoke and/or carbon monoxide, one
Wi-Safe 2 smoke alarm is fitted in each living
room of your home, including bedrooms, and one
Wi-Safe 2 CO alarm is fitted in every room containing
a fossil-fuel appliance, connected to your Strobe and
Vibrating Pad.

6
NOTE: Up to 50 Wi-Safe 2 enabled Smoke
alarms, CO alarms and/or Wi-Safe 2 accessories
can be interlinked (“learned in”) to a single
network.
Ensure all smoke alarms and/or CO alarms to be
used are installed, tested and working correctly as
per the instructions in their respective user manuals.
CONNECTING THE
BATTERY/MAINS POWER
NOTE: The Strobe and Vibrating Pad requires both
an AC (mains) electrical supply and internal battery
for its normal operation. The battery accompanying
this product is rechargeable and charges when there
is mains power to the Strobe.
1. Plug the Vibrating Pad connector into the Strobe
(as shown in fig1). Route the wires through the
wire guide.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the
Strobe by pulling back the clip to release.
Connect the rechargeable battery, by aligning the
terminals (red wire to red wire) and pushing the
connectors together.You may hear the Strobe
beep twice as you do this.
CAUTION: Connect the battery with mains
power disconnected.

3. Place the battery into the recess. The battery
cable needs to be positioned underneath the
battery. Place the cable at the bottom of the
recess with the battery lying over the top with the
text on the battery face down. This will ensure
that the battery is installed correctly.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Assemble the power cable and adaptor by
positioning the plug head as shown. Rotate onto
the adaptor clockwise until it clicks into position
(fig2).
fig2
6. Plug the power cable in to the Strobe. Route the
wire through the wire guide (fig3).
7. Plug the mains adaptor into a 230V socket and
turn the power on.The green power LED should
illuminate.
NOTE: When power is first provided to the Strobe,
the amber LED and both red LEDs will flash twice
and the unit will ‘bleep’ three times; the amber LED
will then illuminate continuously to indicate that the
unit has not been “learned in” to any network. Both
alarm LED’s (smoke and CO) will extinguish.This will
typically happen when the battery is connected. If
the battery does not retain any residual charge, it
will happen when the mains power is connected.

WIRELESSLY INTERLINKING
THE WI-SAFE 2 STROBE AND
VIBRATING PAD TOYOUR
WI-SAFE 2 SMOKE OR
CO ALARM
It is recommended that you read through these
“learn in” instructions before starting.
Learning a Strobe into a new Wi-Safe 2 system:
1. Place one of your smoke, heat or CO alarms
on to its base plate.You will use this product to
interlink with the strobe to create a network.
2. Using a ballpoint pen, briefly push and release
the ‘learn button’ located on the back of the
strobe (fig4).
3. The red LEDs on the front will flash briefly then
light up for approximately five seconds.
4. During these five seconds, press the test button
on the smoke, heat or CO alarm to wirelessly
interlink the two products.The alarm will emit an
audible signal, the red LED on the alarm will also
flash.
5. After learning in the Strobe and Vibrating Pad
into the alarms, test the units individually to
ensure they are wirelessly interlinked.
fig4

9
Once the Strobe and Pad is wirelessly interlinked
to the detectors, all products can be installed. We
recommend you install smoke, heat and CO alarms
before installing the Strobe and Pad.
Network Reset
We recommend you carry out a network reset once
the Strobe is located in its final location. Make sure
the Strobe is unplugged from the mains and remove
the battery, unclipping it from the Strobe. Wait 10
seconds, and then replace the battery, connect the
wires and plug the strobe back into the mains.
The Strobe should beep twice once connected to the
battery, and when connected to the mains should
show the green (power) LED. Test the network by
pressing the test button on the front of the Strobe.
Removing (“unlearning”) the Strobe from the
wireless network
In the event that you need to remove the Strobe
from a network (e.g. if moving house) you will need
to ‘unlearn’ it from the network using the following
procedure:
Learning a strobe into an existing Wi-Safe 2
system:
1. Locate a smoke or CO alarm that is already part
of the existing Wi-Safe 2 system.You will use this
product when adding the strobe into the network.
2. Follow steps from point 2 above.To add any
further alarms to the network, press the learn
button on the new alarm then the test button on
the Strobe, or on any alarm already learned in to
the network.
NOTE: The battery is supplied in a discharged or
partially discharged state and will require up to 24
hours of charging (continuous connection to the
mains supply) to ensure that it is fully charged.
During this period the amber fault LED may flash
once every five seconds to indicate that the battery
is low. The following tests however may be carried
out before the charging is complete.
NOTE: The amber fault LED will also flash (once per
second) if the Vibrating Pad is not correctly installed.
After learning the Strobe and Vibrating Pad into the
alarms, test the units individually to ensure they are
wirelessly interlinked.

TESTING THE WI-SAFE 2
STROBE AND VIBRATING
PAD WITH SMOKE /
CO ALARMS
Testing the network from the smoke alarm or
CO alarm
Briefly press the test button on the smoke alarm
or CO alarm and release (fig5). The alarm will give
an audible sound (consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud
beeps on smoke alarms, 2 cycles of 4 rapid beeps
on CO alarms), then stop automatically. The red
(alarm) LED on the alarm will flash rapidly during
the audible signal. Any other wirelessly interlinked
alarms which are also part of the network will also
give an audible alarm, and then stop automatically.
1. Briefly push and release the learn button located
in the circular hole in the back of the Strobe
as shown (fig 4). The red LEDs on the front of the
Strobe will illuminate as you push the button.
2. Push and hold the learn button a second time.
The red LEDs will illuminate. Release the button
once the red LEDs extinguish.
3. The red LEDs will then perform a sequence of
two long and three short flashes. The amber fault
LED will illuminate continuously to confirm that
the Strobe is no longer interlinked to the wireless
network.
4. Press the test button on the Strobe. It should
not cause other Wi-Safe 2 alarms to sound. If
the Strobe is still interlinked, repeat the above
procedure.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to remove the Strobe
and Vibrating Pad from the wireless network, it is
important to “unlearn” the unit from the network.
Failure to do so means that the unit continues to try
and communicate with the removed unit, and will
result in a system fault.
