1. Introduction
This document is a translation
of the original German
operating manual.
This manual is valid for the Stand-
ardX radio module. Since the radio
module can only be used in com-
bination with a smoke alarm, the
operating manual for the Genius Plus
X or Genius Hx apply in addition.
They include all relevant information
on the smoke alarm.
This manual is available
for download as a PDF
le on our website
www.hekatron-brandschutz.de.
Our website also contains further
information as well as interesting
FAQs on re protection. Please note,
however, that our website is only
available in German.
Additionally, there are various
tutorials available for the assembly
and commissioning of the Genius
Plus X with the Standard X radio
module:

8 | 2. Intended use
2. Intended use
The radio module is designed
exclusively for use with the
GeniusPlus X and Genius Hx
smoke alarms.
The area of application includes
smoke alarms in apartments,
single-family homes or similar
environments.
Improper use
Smoke alarms connected in a
radio network must not be used
for forwarding alarms (e.g. to the
re brigade). For this purpose,
a re alarm control panel in
accordance with the national
directives and regulations must
be used.
If the radio module is not used as
intended, Hekatron Vertriebs GmbH
shall not assume any liability for
resulting damage.

3. Safety | 9
3. Safety
If the safety and operating
instructions are not observed,
noliability and warranty claims
against Hekatron Vertriebs GmbH
shall be enforceable.
General
To ensure the proper and safe use
of the radio module, please read
the operating manual thoroughly
and carefully and follow the
instructions.
Keep the operating manual for
future reference.
In addition, read and observe the
operating manual of the smoke
alarm.
Smoke alarm with Standard X
radio module:
Improper assembly, commission-
ing and maintenance of smoke
alarms with radio modules may
lead to gaps in the re protection
system. This work should
therefore be carried out by a
"Q-tested specialist for smoke
alarms".

4. General information
This chapter explains important
general terms and information.
These are important for a better
understanding of all subsequent
chapters.
Line
consists of min. 2, max. 30 users
xed coding on A.0
Identication code
Each line is automatically assigned
a unique identication code ( ID )
during radio commissioning, which
is allocated to all smoke alarms of
this line. After commissioning, the
radio modules can only be triggered
by messages from radio modules
of the same line and with the same
ID. Messages from neighbouring
systems are ignored.
Repeater
Each radio module is equipped with
a repeater that receives signals and
then transmits them at maximum
transmission power. Only signals
from the same line are transmitted.
Alarm transmission
If a radio smoke alarm detects a
re, the signal is sent to the radio
network after about 20seconds.
Thesmoke alarms connected in the
network remain in alarm status until
they are deactivated by pressing the
test button or until the triggering
smoke alarm no longer detects
smoke in the measuring chamber.

4. General information | 11
Signal propagation time
The signal propagation time within a
radio network depends on the
number of users and the number of
signals currently in circulation:
The signal propagation time of the
simultaneously alarming radio users
must not exceed 10 minutes, as
otherwise no acknowledgement is
possible.
Radio network Signal propagation
No signals Approx. 5 to
10 seconds

5.1 Functional
principle
Every radio module is equipped
with an integrated repeater that
receives signals and then transmits
them to the next radio smoke alarm
within the same line at maximum
transmission power.

Conformity
Hekatron Vertriebs GmbH hereby
declares that the Standard X
radio module is compliant with
EU regulations 2014/53/EU
and 2011/65/EU. The complete

Project planning
6.1 General
All specications in the operating
manual of the smoke alarm shall
apply to project planning and the
respective assembly position of the
smoke alarms.
Determine the following aspects:
number of smoke alarms with
radio module
their assembly positions
Also comply with the following
additional aspects:
connection of max. 30 radio
smoke alarms per line
distance between 2 radio users:
min. 0.5 m, max. approx. 30 m
distance to external radio
systems (e.g. router, DECT
telephones, radio loudspeakers,
babymonitor ): min. 2 m
observe signal propagation

7. Assembly
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the radio module
fDo not touch components
(circuitboards ) directly. Only hold
the radio module by the edge.
fMount the smoke alarm base.
For this purpose, observe the
specications in the operating
manual of the smoke alarm and
in the chapter "Projectplanning"
in this manual.
fRemove the cover of the interface
at the smoke alarm using a pair
of pliers.
fCarefully place the radio module
on the connector pins in the
smoke alarm.

16 | 7. Assembly
fFix the radio module to the
connector pins using the rubber
rings.
ÖThe radio module LED ashes
for approx. 5 seconds, then it
goes out.
ÖThe settings of the radio
module are read by the smoke
alarm
CAUTION
If smoke alarms with a radio module
are screwed into the base, but no
radio commissioning is carried out
within 2 hours, the smoke alarms
signal a fault.
fCommission the radio module.

8. Radio commissioning | 17
8. Radio commissioning
Radio commissioning is carried out
for each line, i.e. each line must be
commissioned separately. If 2 A.0
lines are to be operated in parallel,
2 radio commissioning operations
must be carried out in succession.
This ensures that the lines emit
alarms separately and independently.
Requirements
A radio smoke alarm of the line
is ready at hand, but not yet
screwed into the base.
All other radio smoke alarms of
this line are completely assembled
and signal their readiness for
commissioning by means of the
running light ( green-orange-red )
on the test button every
8seconds.
Performing radio commissioning
After the start of commission-
ing, all users of this line
must be conrmed within
15minutes by pressing the test
button.
fPress and hold the red operating
button on the ready but not yet
mounted smoke alarm for at least
5 seconds until the radio module
LED lights up permanently.
fRelease the red operating button.
ÖThe radio module LED con-
tinues to ash for a short
time.
fScrew the smoke alarm into the
base.
ÖAll smoke alarms of this
line within range will signal
the receipt of the signal for

15minutes by ashing green
on the test button and a
triple acoustic signal every
8seconds.
fAll smoke alarms of this line must
be conrmed within 15minutes
by pressing the test button.
ÖThe smoke alarms each signal
successful registration on the
line by a triple acoustic signal
and the test button ashing

ÖThe smoke alarms receive a
unique ID.
ÖRadio commissioning is
complete. The network-
connected smoke alarms go
into normal operation and
the test button ashes green
every 48seconds.

9.3 Preventing
transmission of
alarms
If a radio smoke alarm detects a re,
the signal is transmitted to the radio
network after about 20seconds.
Within these 20seconds, the
transmission and thus area-wide
alarm can be prevented as follows:
fPress the test button on the
triggering smoke alarm.
ÖThe triggering smoke alarm
is muted.
ÖThe transmission of the alarm
is prevented.

Adding users to
the radio
network/replacing
smoke alarms
Single or several users can be added
to an existing radio network at a
later point in time.
The maximum number per
lineis 30 users.
This procedure also applies for the
replacement of an existing smoke
alarm.
Requirements
The new users are prepared for
commissioning ( see chapters
"Project planning" and
“Assembly").
The new smoke alarms are
completely assembled in the base
and signal their readiness for
