PROGRAMMING
Remove the blocking film from primary battery clips. Wait for about 12 seconds.
The “Prog.” button on the call point is used for initializing the device in the system.
Please refer to the translator manual for full instructions on how to add a child device
to the system. The device can also be initialized using the “Streletz-Wizard” software.
INSTALLATION AND TESTING
Link the call point to the EK-WL8-TRH translator.
Verify that communication between call point and translator is correctly working.
Choose the installation position taking into account national directives.
Fix the base with the screws provided and insert the call point.
Test the device by pushing the button on the front panel of
the device. The device will send an alarm message to the
control panel.
To reset the call point put the reset key in the hole and ro-
tate it counterclockwise and reset the system with a com-
mand from the control panel.
For disassembly (for example, to change batteries) you
should insert the back side of reset key into a removal holes
and pull on call point.

ANALOG DATA
The device provides the translator module with analog data about air temperature and
voltage levels on its batteries. This information can be viewed in the “Streletz-Wizard”
software.
By analyzing the voltage levels, you can manage your maintenance procedures and
predict when you will have to replace the batteries. Please refer to the software manual
for full instructions on how to use the program for system maintenance.
WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
Devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly
resistant to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years continuous operation
it is advisable to replace them to reduce the risk of reduced performance caused by
external factors. Ensure the devices are only used with compatible control panels. De-
tection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to con-
firm correct operation.
Refer to and follow National Codes of Practice and other internationally recognized
fire engineering standards. Appropriate Risk Assessment should be carried out ini-
tially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
WARRANTY
All devices are covered by a 5-year limited warranty (does not apply to batteries). The
warranty is voided by mechanical or electrical damage caused by incorrect handling
or usage. Product must be returned via an authorized supplier for repair or replace-
ment along with full information on the identified problem.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When a battery requires replacement, both batteries must be changed together.
a. Open the case of the device.
b. Remove the batteries.
c. Insert the new batteries as detailed in the installation manual above –take care
to observe + / - polarity.
d. Close the case of the device.
e. Test the device in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
It is recommended to change both batteries after 10 years of operation despite of their
indicated discharge level.
To replace the batteries, use Panasonic CR123A (primary battery) and Varta
CR2032 (secondary battery) or other with similar characteristics. The batteries must
meet the following standards: UL 1642 lithium batteries, UL certified at www.ul.com or
IEC 60086-4 Primary batteries, Part 4: Safety of lithium batteries.
The remaining shelf time of the new batteries must be not less than 8 years.
Failure to observe these instructions will void the device warranty and any liabilities.
CAUTION
- Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type can defeat a safeguard (for ex-
ample, in the case of some lithium battery types).
- Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting
of a battery can result in an explosion.
- Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment
can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
- A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or
the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
DISPOSAL
- Follow local regulations regarding disposal of the batteries.
