5) Insert both batteries into their HFW-SIM-01-AS holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
6) Link the HFW-SIM-01-AS device to the Hyfire system (→ LINKING).
7) Reinstall the battery covers.
8) Check the wireless link quality of the HFW-SIM-01-AS positioned in the final installation location (→ WIRELESS LINK QUALITY
CHECK).
9) Install the sealing pad if the sounder is to be installed outdoors and/or in damp environments (not EN 54-3 approved)
(→ OUTDOORS AND DAMP ENVIRONMENTS INSTALLATION).
10) Fix the sounder back box to the wall on the final installation location (→ WALL INSTALLATION).
11) Reinstall the HFW-SIM-01-AS into the sounder’s back box (→ MODULE’S INSTALLATION).
12) Set sounder’s tone and volume (→ OUTPUT TONE SETTING , →OUTPUT VOLUME SETTING).
13) Reinstall the front operating section onto the sounder back box (→ SOUNDER CLOSING PROCEDURE).
14) Test the HFW-SIM-01-AS + HFC-WSR-03 / HFC-SBR-23-03 to check if it works properly (→ TESTING).

SOUNDER OPENING PROCEDURE
In order to detach the upper sounder body from the base:
1) Insert the pins of the compatible key into the holes of one of the two side
locking mechanisms.
2) Turn the key 90° to the left whilst applying light pressure.
3) Repeat this step for the second side locking mechanism; the locking mechanism appears as in picture 1 when in the open position (flush).
4) Detach the sounder body from the base by pulling gently to separate (picture 2).
MODULE’S EXTRACTION
1) Gently release the locking catch allowing the module to lift and rotate to release from the side wall.
2) Remove the module.

When assembling or removing the front operating
section of the sounder to/from the back box be
careful to ensure the interconnection block is not
twisted which may cause damage. Perform such opera-
tions without using excessive force.

Table 1
LINKING
The translator / expander module is waiting to achieve a wireless child
device.
1) Move the link switch’s cursor from ON to the opposite side (BLANK
side); HFW-SIM-01-AS indicates “Linking to the system”.
2) If linking outcome is ok: HFW-SIM-01-AS stops indicating “Linking to
the system”.
3) If linking outcome is not ok: perform the LINKING RECOVERY
procedure.
LINKING RECOVERY
In case something goes wrong with the linking operation:
1) Take out both batteries from their holders.
2) Move alternatively the link switch to ON / BLANK five times.
3) Move the link switch to ON.
4) Reinsert both batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
5) Perform the LINKING procedure.
WIRELESS LINK QUALITY CHECK
It is possible to check wireless link quality between the sounder module and its linked-to translator or expander in this way:
1) Move the link switch to the ON position.
2) Module’s LED indicator will start blinking according to the following table:
3) Move the link switch to position BLANK again; device will NOT WORK if the link switch is on position ON !

OUTDOORS AND DAMP ENVIRONMENTS INSTALLATION
When installing the sounder outdoors or in a damp environment, carefully apply the self-adhesive sealing pad to the back of the sounder base
(picture 5).
WALL INSTALLATION
Fix the sounder base to the wall; the prepared location options for the fixing screws are highlighted in picture 6.
MODULE’S INSTALLATION
1) Insert the terminal edge of the module between the securing points on the wall of the back box.
2) Gently push down the module body so that the locking catch engages fully to hold the PCB in place. Check that it feels secure.

OUTPUT TONE SETTING
Use the DIP switch on the back of the sounder body to select the tone required; for this function the first five switches are used, highlighted in
picture 8.
The switches positioned upwards acquire value “1”; on the other hand, if positioned downwards acquire value “0”.
1) From the →TONE SET table (table 4) select the output alarm tone triggered when the sounder is activated.
2) Refer to the corresponding line of the “DIP configuration” column to select the five switch selection settings.
OUTPUT VOLUME SETTING
Use the DIP switch at the back of the sounder body to select the output volume; in particular, switches 6 and 7, highlighted in picture 9, are
used.
The switches positioned upwards acquire value “1”; on the other hand, if positioned downwards acquire value “0”.
1) Select the alarm volume required when the sounder is activated (table 3).
2) Refer to the corresponding line of the “DIP configuration” column to set the two volume selection switches.

SOUNDER CLOSING PROCEDURE
In order to assemble the sounder body to the base:
1) Assemble the sounder body to the base using gentle pressure (picture 10).
2) Insert the pins of the compatible key into the holes of one of the two side locking
mechanisms.
3) Turn the key 90° to the right.
4) Repeat this step for the second side locking mechanism, starting from point 2; the
locking mechanism appears as in picture 11 once closed (recessed).
5) To secure use the retaining screws, using the location holes on both sides of the
base (picture 12).

When assembling or removing the front operating
section of the sounder to/from the back box be
careful to ensure the interconnection block is not
twisted which may cause damage. Perform such opera-
tions without using excessive force.

TAMPERING DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION
Tampering attempts are detected by a pair of switches (one on the front, the other on the back of the module); once detected, a tampering
event message is broadcasted to the system.
TESTING
1) Activate the fire security system’s alarm condition.
2) Check the HFW-SIM-01-AS + HFC-WSR-03 / HFW-SIM-01-AS + HFC-SBR-23-03 output activation.
3) Press the SILENCE SOUNDERS button (or equivalent) on the control panel.
4) Reset the system from the control panel.
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the translator module indicates a low battery condition on a child device, batteries must be replaced.
When a low battery condition is indicated, both batteries must be changed altogether.
During this procedure the linking switch must NOT be touched at all !
1) Detach the front operating section from the sounder back box.
2) Extract the HFW-SIM-01-AS from the sounder’s back box.
3) Extract the HFW-SIM-01-AS’s battery covers.
4) Extract the batteries.
5) Insert the new batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks.
6) Reinstall the battery covers.
7) Reinstall the HFW-SIM-01-AS into the sounder’s back box.
8) Reinstall the front operating section onto the sounder back box.
9) Test the HFW-SIM-01-AS + HFC-WSR-03 / HFW-SIM-01-AS + HFC-SBR-23-03 to check if it works properly.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are
highly resistant to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years of continu-
ous operation, it is advisable to replace the devices in order to minimize the risk of
reduced performance caused by external factors. Ensure that this device is only
used with compatible control panels. Detection systems must be checked, ser-
viced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.
Smoke detectors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus
application advice should be sought for special risks. Detectors cannot respond
correctly if barriers exist between them and the fire location and may be affected
by special environmental conditions.
Refer to and follow national codes of practice and other internationally recognized
fire engineering standards.
Appropriate risk assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct
design criteria and updated periodically.
WARRANTY
All devices are supplied with the benefit of a limited 3 years warranty relating to
faulty materials or manufacturing defects, effective from the production date
indicated on each product.
This warranty is invalidated by mechanical or electrical damage caused in the field
by incorrect handling or usage.
Product must be returned via your authorized supplier for repair or replacement
together with full information on any problem identified.
