This FireAngel Wi-Safe Home Safety System
consists of a Receiver Box with integrated Strobe
Light, an AC mains adaptor and Vibrating Pad to
be used in conjunction with FireAngel Wi-Safe
smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.
The smoke or CO alarms should be positioned
in recommended locations specied in the user
manuals accompanying those products. When
your smoke or CO alarm triggers, it will go into
alarm and will send a radio frequency signal to the
Wi-Safe Receiver Box.When the Wi-Safe Receiver
Box receives the signal, it will activate the Strobe
and Vibrating Pad and the red LED visual indicator
on the Receiver Box will illuminate to indicate
what type of signal is being received.
The Strobe and Vibrating Alert System consists
of two parts – a Receiver Box with integrated
Strobe and AC mains adaptor, which plugs into
your wall socket, and a Vibrating Pad to be placed
under a pillow or a cushion on a chair.
The AC mains adaptor is rated at 230V 50Hz
0.075A input.

APPLICATION
WARNING: The Strobe andVibrating
Alert System is only designed to receive
signals from FireAngel Wi-Safe smoke or CO
alarms. It will not respond to other models
or brands of smoke or re alarm systems or
other FireAngel non Wi-Safe smoke or CO
alarms. The FireAngel Wi-Safe Home Safety
System is not intended as a substitute for a
complete re alarm system, as specied in BS
5839-6: 2004.
Your Wi-Safe smoke or CO alarms contain
transmitters only and will communicate with the
Wi-Safe Strobe and Vibrating Alert System (and
other Wi-Safe receiving products only) and will
not communicate with each other.
POSITIONING
WARNING: The Strobe and
Vibrating Alert System will only warn
of smoke or carbon monoxide if it receives a
signal from a recognised active alarm.
In which room should the Strobe and Vibrating Alert
System be installed?
It should be installed in the primary room
where you sleep.Additional systems should be
installed in any room where you may need to
be alerted in the event of an alarm.
Where should the Vibrating Pad be positioned?

WHAT ARE THE
LIMITATIONS?
Your Strobe and Vibrating Alert System requires
a FireAngel Wi-Safe smoke or carbon monoxide
(CO) alarm to trigger it by radio signal.The Strobe
and Vibrating Alert System will not operate in
isolation (on its own), with non Wi- Safe FireAngel
smoke or CO alarms or any alarms made by other
manufacturers. Your Strobe and Vibrating Alert
System is designed to alert you by ashing a high
intensity light on the Receiver Box and vibrating
the Vibrating Pad when it receives a signal from
an activated smoke or CO alarm. Your Strobe
and Vibrating Alert System may not respond to
a signal from a smoke or CO alarm if the alarm
and the Receiver Box are too far apart; if there
are obstructions that signicantly reduce the signal
(e.g. steel reinforcement in concrete); or if there
are other electrical or electronic equipment that
creates interference and obscures the signal.Your
Strobe and Vibrating Alert System will only alert
you to the triggering of a smoke or CO alarm if

7
that alarm has been recognised (see ‘Connecting
toWi-Safe Alarms’ on page 13) by your Strobe and
Vibrating Alert System. After initial installation and
testing, the performance of the communication
between the smoke or CO alarm and your Strobe
and Vibrating Alert System may be compromised
by changes in the building’s structure, property or
contents. Always test to ensure the entire Wi-Safe
Home Safety System (all alarms and receivers) is
still working after any changes to your building’s
structure, wiring, plumbing, heating or changes in
position of major items of furniture (beds, sofas,
shelving units, etc.)
We recommend that, as a minimum, you install
a Vibrating Pad under each pillow you are likely
to fall asleep on or under a cushion on a seat
that you spend a lot of time on or are likely to
fall asleep on. To get you started quickly your
FireAngel WFSVP-629 has been designed to
detect a signal from any FireAngel product with a
Wi-Safe transmitter as soon as it is activated. We
highly recommend you uniquely code your Wi-
Safe system to your home, and isolate your Wi-
Safe system from other Wi-Safe systems nearby.To
do this go through the simple section ‘Connecting
to Wi-Safe alarms’ starting on page 13 of your
user manual.
The Strobe and Vibrating Alert System will
not respond and alert you of a smoke or re
situation without the triggering of a recognised
and operational FireAngel Wi-Safe smoke alarm.
Also it will not respond and alert you that a
high level of carbon monoxide (CO) has been
detected without the triggering of a recognised
and operational FireAngel Wi-Safe CO alarm.
The FireAngel Wi-Safe Home Safety System may
not alarm before a re causes damage, injury or
death, as the smoke may not reach the smoke
alarm in time. Examples include smoking in bed
and violent gas explosions. The smoke alarm
may not respond in a reasonable time if it is not
installed in the best position or if obstacles, such as
furniture or closed doors, are located between the
smoke alarm and the re.

8
The Wi-Safe Home Safety System may not
alarm before a dangerous CO level causes illness,
poisoning or death, as the CO may not reach the
CO alarm in time.The CO alarm may not respond
in a reasonable time if it is not installed in the
best position or if obstacles, such as closed doors,
are located between the CO alarm and the source
of CO.
The Strobe and Vibrating Alert System requires
both a continuously powered AC 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
Receiver Box.
WARNING: Use only the battery
included in this pack as it has been
chosen specically for this application. Use of
other batteries may damage the product.
The battery provided is rechargeable and is
continuously charged when plugged into the
mains. Installation of the wrong type of battery
is dangerous and may cause harm or damage.
If the electrical supply fails or is removed, the unit
will continue to operate on its back-up battery for
up to 3 days.The yellow LED will ash twice every
5 seconds in the event of a low battery condition.
WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU MUST RESTORE
POWER WITHIN 3 DAYS TO RECHARGE
THE BACKUP BATTERY AND MAINTAIN
CORRECT OPERATION.
The Strobe andVibrating Alert System is designed
to alert you with a combination of a visual
indication from the Strobe and vibration from the
Vibrating Pad. Heavy sleepers and residents under
the inuence of alcohol or drugs may not feel the
