thermal enhancement, providing fast response
to both fast aming and smouldering res,
eliminating the need for ionisation sources
which can be harmful to the environment.
The state of the art thermally-enhanced optical
sensing chamber provides a fast reaction to
both slow smouldering and fast aming res
in a single alarm. Thermoptek technology
constantly monitors temperature changes and
if a rate of temperature rise is detected the
sensitivity of the alarm is increased meaning it
has a fast response time to fast aming res as
well as slow smouldering res.
APPLICATION
WARNING: Your smoke alarm can be installed
into a new build property as additional
protection to an existing smoke detection
system only. It cannot be used as a substitute
for a hard wired system as required in new
build properties. In this type of property the
building regulations require alarms to be
interlinked. You can obtain further information
from your local re service or building control
department at your local council ofces. These
sources generally provide advice on new builds
or projects that require planning permission.
Your smoke alarm typically meets the minimum
requirements for family living units in existing
buildings, as long as at least one unit is
installed on each oor/level of your property.
In order to achieve the earliest re warning,
we recommend that a smoke alarm is tted in
all rooms where the temperature is normally
between 4°C (40°F) and 38°C (100°F). Check
the section on ‘Positioning’ to ensure that the
INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT: This user manual contains
important information regarding the operation
of your smoke alarm. Ensure you read this user
manual fully before installing and operating the
alarm. If you are installing this smoke alarm for
use by others, you must leave this manual (or a
copy of it) with the end user.
Your 10 year life smoke alarm is powered by an
internal lithium power pack which is supplied
in a deactivated state. The power pack is
automatically enabled when the alarm is fully
locked on to the base plate and disabled when
removed.
IMPORTANT: Your alarm will not work until it
is correctly located and secured onto the base
plate.
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Traditionally 3 types of sensor technology
have been used in domestic self-contained re
alarms. Optical smoke alarms are typically more
effective at detecting slow burning res, which
can smoulder for hours before bursting into
ames. Ionisation smoke alarms are generally
more effective at detecting fast, aming
res which consume combustible materials
rapidly and spread re quickly. Heat alarms
are triggered when room temperature reaches
a set point (typically 56°C). These alarms are
generally used in locations where other alarm
types are not suitable, such as kitchens.

Your smoke alarm can also be used in
individual ats and bedsits, providing the
same conditions are met as for a single-family
residence. However, there must already be
a primary re detection system that meets
regulatory requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways
Institutions and Hotels
This includes motels, hospitals, day care
facilities, long-term health care facilities,
boarding houses and dormitories. Your
WST-630 smoke alarm can be used in
individual sleeping/resident rooms, providing
the same conditions are met as for a single-
family residence. However, there must already
be a primary re detection system that meets
regulatory requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways. Use of the
WST-630 smoke alarm in common areas may
not provide sufcient re warning to residents
or meet regulatory requirements.
Mobile Homes and Caravans
This smoke alarm is suitable for use in mobile
homes and caravans.
Commercial and Industrial Premises
This smoke alarm is not intended for any
non-residential, commercial or industrial
application, nor for any other purpose than
described above.
POSITIONING
Thermoptek smoke alarms are less prone
to false alarms from cooking fumes, and are
therefore suitable for locations near kitchens.
However like other types of smoke alarms,
smoke alarm is to be correctly positioned for
the particular dwelling into which it is intended
to be installed.
WARNING: The alarm positions shown below
are based on typical homes. Construction and
layout of individual dwellings will vary, so this
should be regarded only as a guide. Check with
your local re station for further guidance.

SMOKE ALARM
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have read and
understood this manual before installing your
smoke alarm.
1. Preparation
The base plate should be attached to the
ceiling or wall.
Break out the tabs from the base plate.
Use the xing slots on the base plate as
Thermoptek smoke alarms can be susceptible
to nuisance alarms from steam and should
not be located too close to bathrooms and
showers.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
temperatures outside those stated above will
reduce product life.
IMPORTANT: Obstructions such as steel
reinforcement in concrete could block
or impede the wireless signal. While
the wireless range is over 200 metres in
clear air / clear line of sight, the effective range
may be reduced by wall and other obstructions
in the building. Always ensure that after any
building work or after repositioning large items
of furniture (beds, sofas, shelving units etc.),
you carry out an alarm test on all networked
smoke alarms to ensure they are all still
working. It is recommended not to exceed
35m as the maximum distance between smoke
alarms in the network.
Note: Up to 50 WST-630 smoke alarms and/
or Wi-Safe 2 accessories can be learned in
to a single network.

2. Install Base Plate
Fit the base plate to the ceiling or wall using
the screws provided.
3. Fit Your Smoke Alarm
To t to the base plate included in this pack,
position the alarm on the base plate then
twist it clockwise until the alarm is locked in
position. Make sure the alarm is twisted on
fully.
The power pack will now activate. The red
LED on the front of the alarm should ash
approximately once every 45 seconds to show
that it is active.
WARNING: Removing the smoke alarm from its
base plate will de-activate the unit and prevent
it from detecting smoke.
4. Test Your Smoke Alarm
After tting the alarm to the base plate, wait
for 5 seconds for the alarm to settle then test
the alarm, see ‘Alarm Test’.
INTERLINKING YOUR
WST-630 SMOKE ALARMS
This smoke alarm contains an inbuilt RF
module, and enables you to wirelessly
interlink two or more smoke alarms and
create a network. Therefore WST-630 alarms
need to be “learned in” or interlinked in
order to communicate with each other. If
one alarm activates, all other interlinked smoke
alarms will also sound. Note that WST-630s can
only be interlinked with other WST-630s and

7
products within the Wi-Safe 2 range.
“Learning in” (interlinking) your Smoke
Alarms:
The process below describes ‘learning in’
two alarms into a network, “Alarm 1” and
“Alarm 2”.
1. Alarm 1: Install Alarm 1 as described
previously.
2. Alarm 2: Install the base plate for Alarm 2
in one of the recommended locations. Do
not t the second alarm to its base plate
yet.
3. Alarm 2: Using a pen, a paper clip that has
been opened out, briey push and release
the learn button located in a circular hole in
the back of Alarm 2.
Circular hole
The red LED next to the learn button will ash
briey then light up for approximately ve
seconds to show that it is ready to receive the
“learn in” signal. During these ve seconds
you will need to briey press the test button on
Alarm 1 to wirelessly interlink the two alarms.
Alarm 1 will give an audible sound consisting of
2 cycles of 3 loud beeps.
Alarm 2 The red LED on the wireless module
of Alarm 2 will ash to indicate that it has been
“learned-in” successfully.
Note: If the test button is not pressed quickly
enough (before the red LED on the wireless
module of Alarm 2 has extinguished), the learn-
in process will fail. If this happens, repeat the
process again, as described above.
5. Fit Alarm 2 onto its base plate to
complete the installation.
6. Additional alarms should be “learned-in”
the same way. When learning in additional
alarms, any alarm already in the network,
can be used as ‘Alarm 1’. This means that
you can “learn-in” the additional alarm to
any alarm already in the network. It will
then become part of the whole network.
You do not have to “learn it in” to each
alarm in the network.

8
7. After completing the “learn-in” procedure,
test the alarms as described in “Alarm Test”.
If any interlinked alarm fails to respond to the
“Alarm Test”, remove it from its base plate and
repeat the learning in process.
Unlearning a Wi-Safe 2 Alarm
To remove an alarm from a network, push and
release, then push and hold the learn button.
When the red LED goes out, release the button.
Once the LED has ashed 5 times you have
successfully ‘Unlearned’ the alarm.
When removing an alarm from any
Wi-Safe 2 network it is generally good practice
to “unlearn” every alarm (in the same way as
mentioned above) and rebuild the network
once again by following the “learn-in” process
on page 7.
Please note: it is important not to rush the
Wi-Safe 2 system and is also good practice
to allow several minutes after un-learning the
system before rebuilding the network once
again.
OPERATION
Normal Condition
The red LED on the front will ash approximately
every 45 seconds to show that the alarm is
active.
Low Power Pack Condition
IMPORTANT: Your smoke alarm requires the
power pack to have sufcient capacity of power
to operate correctly. Should your smoke alarm
enter a low power pack condition, the unit will
emit an audible ‘chirp’ approximately once
every 45 seconds and the amber LED will ash
at around the same time. When this occurs it is
strongly recommended you replace the alarm
immediately and in any event within 30 days.
Your smoke alarm will continue to warn of this
low power pack condition for at least 30 days.
However, failure to change the alarm after this
time would mean your smoke alarm may have
insufcient power to alert you in a real re
situation. When the alarm is removed from the
base plate the power pack will automatically
deactivate and the low power warning chirp will
stop, allowing you to dispose of the alarm.
IMPORTANT: If your WST-630 smoke alarm
enters a low power pack condition, it will emit
an audible “chirp” approximately once every
45 seconds. All other WST-630 alarms in the
network will also emit an audible low battery
chirp once every 4 hours. This will continue
until the smoke alarm which has the low battery
condition is removed.
Fault Indication
If the amber LED ashes and an audible ‘chirp’
is heard at a different time, this indicates that
there is a fault; the unit may not detect smoke
and may not go into alarm in the event of a re.
If this occurs it is strongly recommended that
you replace the alarm immediately.
Alarm Condition
If the WST-630 goes into alarm, all interlinked
alarms will also sound 3 loud beeps which
continually repeat until the cause of the alarm
being activated is found and resolved.The red
LED will only ash rapidly (once per second) on
alarms that have responded directly to smoke.

ALARM TEST
a) Briey press the test button in the centre
and release.
b) The unit will give an audible alarm
consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud beeps,
then stop automatically.
c) The red LED on the alarm will ash rapidly
during the audible signal.
NOTE: The button tests the alarm’s smoke
sensing circuit. There is no need to test your
alarm with smoke. If your smoke alarm fails
to give an audible test signal, please refer
immediately to Troubleshooting, at the end of
this manual.
WARNING: As with all electronic products you
should test your smoke alarm every week.
If your WST-630 is interlinked with other smoke
alarms, we recommend that every individual
smoke alarm is tested during the weekly test.
a) Briey press the test button in the centre
of the smoke alarm and release.
b) The unit you are testing will give an
audible alarm consisting of 2 cycles of
3 loud beeps, then stop automatically.
The red LED on this alarm will ash rapidly
(once per second) during the audible
alarm. All interlinked alarms will give an
audible alarm consisting of 2 cycles
of 3 loud beeps, then stop automatically,
indicating the test is complete. The red
LED on all interlinked alarms will not ash
rapidly. If any alarm fails to self-test, see
Troubleshooting.
ALARM SMART SILENCE™
DANGER: If your smoke alarm emits the
full alarm signal and you are not testing the
unit, the smoke alarm is warning you of a
potentially dangerous situation that requires
your immediate attention. Only use the alarm
silence function after making sure that there
is no re. Do not block the vents on the alarm
or disable the smoke alarm in any way, as this
will remove your protection. Smoke alarms can
sometimes react to cooking fumes or other
non-emergency situations.
Your smoke alarm features “Smart Silence”
technology. In the event of a known false alarm
your smoke alarm can be temporarily silenced

11
by briey pressing the central test button. Your
alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity
within 10 minutes.
NOTE: If the level of smoke reaching the alarm
is very high the alarm silence will be overridden
and the alarm will continue to sound.
1. Briey press and release the test button.
The alarm sound will soon stop.
2. Your alarm will silence and enter into a
reduced sensitivity mode for
approximately 10 minutes.
3. During the reduced sensitivity mode the
red LED on your alarm will continue to ash
more rapidly than normal, approximately
every 10 seconds.
4. Your alarm will automatically return to full
sensitivity after a maximum of 10 minutes
and the red LED will revert to ashing
every 45 seconds.
DANGER: Never ignore any alarm. Ignoring
the alarm may result in injury or death. If
your smoke alarm activates and you are not
absolutely certain of the source of the smoke,
get everyone out of the house immediately.
If your WST-630 is interlinked with other alarms,
pressing the test button will also silence other
alarms in the network. However, any alarm
that has sensed smoke (an instigating alarm)
cannot be remotely silenced. This means that
any alarm that has sensed smoke will continue
to sound allowing you to locate it.
If any instigating alarm in the network has not
been silenced after a short period (2-4 minutes),
all other alarms will start sounding again to alert
you.
WARNING: If any alarm in the network is
sounding, it is warning you of a potentially
hazardous situation. Do not ignore it.

12
MAINTENANCE
Your smoke alarm has been designed to be
as maintenance-free as possible, however
there are several things you must do to keep it
working properly.
Your smoke alarm is a sealed electrical device
and no attempt should be made to open
the case. Attempting to open the case will
invalidate your Warranty.
WARNING: This device contains a powerful
lithium battery. If tampered with, the battery
may be shorted and create a re hazard. Never
attempt to open or damage the battery.
Test your smoke alarm once every week,
see ‘Alarm Test’. Any test failures should be
reported to Technical Support (see page 14).
As a minimum your smoke alarm should be
cleaned once every 3 months using your
vacuum cleaner tted with the soft brush
attachment.
Your smoke alarm may false alarm when it is
being cleaned using a vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents or cleaners
on your smoke alarm, as they may cause
damage to the sensor or circuitry. The unit can
be wiped with a slightly damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not paint the smoke alarm
as this may block the openings and prevent
smoke from entering the sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Your smoke alarm
does not sound
during testing
• Make sure the alarm has been rotated clockwise as far as it can go and is
securely located on its base plate.
• If testing after rst activating the alarm, allow a few seconds for the alarm to
settle before testing.
• Make sure you push the centre of the test button rmly.
• If the unit has been silenced and is in low sensitivity mode it may not test.
Wait 15 minutes then try again.
• Check positioning. The wireless signal might be blocked or out of range.
• If you are in the process of learning in the alarm and it does not test – repeat
the process.
• If the alarm still fails to self test, please contact Technical Support (page 14).
Your smoke
alarm cannot be
removed from its
base plate
If you nd that you cannot remove the smoke alarm from its base plate, the
locking mechanism may have been engaged. Undue force may result in damage
to the smoke alarm, the base plate or both. For more information contact your
installer, or Technical Support (page 14).
Your smoke alarm
activates when no
smoke is visible
• Check the location of your smoke alarm (see ‘Positioning’).
• Clean the smoke alarm (see ‘Maintenance’).
• If the alarm is sounding but the red LED is only ashing once every 45
seconds, this indicates that an interlinked alarm has detected smoke. Vacate
the property if there is a re hazard.
Other interlinked
units fail to silence
when one unit is
silenced
• Interlinked units that have sensed smoke can’t be silenced. If one or more
unit remains in alarm, all other interlinked units will emit their audible warning
again within 4 minutes. Vacatethe property if there is a re hazard.

14
Problem Solution
Your smoke alarm
chirps intermittently
• Check the location of your smoke alarm (see Positioning’).
• Check that your smoke alarm is denitely the source of chirping; make
sure the noise isn’t coming from another alarm (smoke/carbon monoxide/
burglar/gas alarm) by process of elimination.
• If the alarm is chirping once every 45 seconds and the amber LED is
ashing around the same time, it indicates that the power pack is low. The
unit should be replaced within 30 days.
• If your smoke alarm is chirping once every 4 hours, it is indicating that
another alarm in the network has entered a low power pack condition.
Locate the alarm with the low battery condition and replace the alarm as
soon as possible and in any event within 30 days.
You experience
frequent unwanted
alarms
• Check the location of your smoke alarm (see ‘Positioning’).
• Clean the smoke alarm (see ‘Maintenance’).
• Any activated alarm will cause other interlinked alarms to sound. Carry
out these checks on the activated alarms in particular (red LED ashing
rapidly during alarm).
• If the frequent unwanted alarms continue contact Technical Support for
advice.
The amber LED is
ashing and the
alarm is making a
“chirping” sound
• If the amber LED is ashing at around the same time as the chirp, this
indicates a low power pack condition and the alarm should be replaced as
soon as possible and certainly within 30 days.
• If the amber LED is ashing at a different time to the chirp, this indicates a
fault and the alarm should be replaced as soon as possible.
• If the amber LED is double ashing and the alarm is making a “chirping”
sound, this indicates that the wireless module has a low power pack
condition, or is faulty. The alarm should be replaced as soon as possible.
If the alarm fails to
operate correctly,
the advice of the
manufacturer should
be sought
If you have any questions about the operation of your alarm, please contact
Technical Support between 9am - 5pm Monday – Friday. Telephone: 0800
141 2561 or e-mail: technicalsupport@reangel.co.uk You can also visit
the support section of our website www.reangel.co.uk.
