Description
The TX-6010-03-1 and RF581I4 are Learn Mode wireless
smoke / heat alarms, designed for use in a security system
with a compatible control panel. Both devices comply with
EN14604:2005/AC:2008. The installation and operation
methods are the same for both devices.
The device has a Test button (Figure 1, item 1) that is
surrounded by a status LED, (Figure 1, item 2), and a built-in
sounder for alarm indication.
The status LED flashes red every 45 seconds to indicate
normal status (no alarm). When smoke or heat is detected (as
configured), the status LED changes from flashing to on
continuously, the built-in sounder is activated, and an alarm
signal is sent to the control panel.
The device sends a supervisory signal to the control panel
every 15-18 minutes to report its status.
The device also includes the following features:
•A tamper switch that triggers a tamper signal transmission
when the device is removed from its mounting base
•Self-diagnostics to monitor the device’s sensitivity and
operational status.
Installation
Caution: Refer to your control panel documentation for
detailed information on the corresponding communications,
configuration, and test requirements.
Where to install a smoke / heat alarm
Regulations for smoke /heat alarm installation vary from region
to region. For full details, contact your fire service or local
authority having jurisdiction.
In addition to local regulations, use the following installation
guidelines to optimise performance and reduce the chance of
false alarms from the device:
•Install ceiling-mounted detectors in the center of a room or
hallway at least 300 mm (12 in.) from any walls or
partitions.
•Install wall-mounted detectors so that the top of the
device’s sensor is 150 to 300 mm (6 to 12 in.) below the
ceiling and above the level of any door opening.
•Install the detector within 30 m (98 ft) of the control panel
•Install the detector away from air conditioners, fans, and
any other devices that may interfere with smoke entering
the sensor.
•Install detectors on a firm permanent surface away from
large metallic objects.
•Ensure that the environmental conditions (temperature,
relative humidity) comply with those indicated in the
technical specifications.
Note: A supplementary ‘Siting Guidelines’document (MK304)
is available, providing additional installation guidelines, written
in conjunction with the British standard BS5839-6.

Caution: To avoid a fire department dispatch, contact the
remote monitoring station or put the control panel into the
corresponding test mode before performing this test.
Detectors should be tested annually using canned smoke (for
smoke detectors only). Follow the instructions on the can.
Heat detectors can also be tested, using heat detector testers.
During the test, the status LED is on and the device sounds the
selected tone. The device automatically resets when smoke is
no longer present.
If the device fails to activate, return the unit for service.
Maintenance
Replacing the batteries
Insert a minimum of two specified batteries, whilst observing
the correct polarity. Up to four batteries can be fitted for
extended battery life.
When batteries are low, the device’s status LED remains off
and the device chirps 3 times in quick succession every 45
seconds until the batteries are exhausted. Replace batteries
immediately.
Note: The low battery alert can be silenced for 24 hours by
pressing the Test button for one second.
Always test the device after replacing the batteries.
Sensor maintenance
Remove dust cover before use.
The device should be tested upon installation and in
accordance with local requirements.

person.
The Manufacturer recommends regular functional testing of at
least once per annum or in accordance with local codes of
practice.
Caution: Do not open the case to clean inside the detector.
The detector cannot be cleaned. If the device’s sensor has a
contamination fault, it should be replaced.
Limitations of smoke / heat alarm detectors
WARNING: Risk of personal injury or death. Smoke / heat
detectors can not provide warnings for fires resulting from
explosions, smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of
flammable liquids, vapors and gases, or children playing with
matches or lighters. Failure to properly install, test and
maintain detectors and associated alarm systems may cause it
to fail, resulting in loss of life or property.
Smoke / heat detectors may not work under all conditions.
Smoke / heat alarms can not provide total protection of life or
property and are not a substitute for insurance. All alarms are
subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety
of reasons. For example:
•This device will not operate and an alarm will not sound if
its batteries are dead, removed, or installed incorrectly.
•Radio signals transmitted by this device may be blocked
or reflected by metal objects. Adjacent devices or systems
using radio frequency signals may interfere with the
operation of this alarm. Test the system weekly to ensure
signals are transmitted and received properly.
•Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block or
reduce the alarm sound from this device. This device is
not designed for the hearing impaired.
•Smoke / heat detectors cannot sense smoke inside
chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed
door.
•Smoke / heat detectors may not detect smoke on other
levels of the building.
•Smoke / heat detectors may not warn in time when fires
are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper
storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or
other hazardous conditions.
•Current studies have shown alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of
individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

P/N MK256 • REV 01 • ISSUE 2 • AJM 5 / 6
Fire prevention and escape
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM! IF THERE
IS ANY QUESTION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE ALARM, IT
SHOULD BE ASSUMED THAT THERE IS A FIRE AND THE
BUILDING SHOULD BE EVACUATED IMMEDIATELY.
The purpose of an early warning alarm is to detect the
presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving
the occupants time to exit the premises safely.
Avoid fire hazards
•No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially
dangerous situations as follows:
•DO NOT smoke in bed.
•DO NOT leave children home alone.
•NEVER clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
•Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping
techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered
basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation
to fire.
•Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses.
•DO NOT overload electrical outlets.
•DO NOT store explosive and/or fast burning materials in
your home.
•Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can
start. Be prepared.
In case of a fire
In the event of a fire, do the following:
•Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
•In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if
necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
•If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the
door and doorknob to see if undue heat is present. If they
seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door
with your hip against the door and one hand against the
top edge. Open it slightly. If you feel a rush of hot air, slam
the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build
up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the
household realize and understand this danger.
•Use your neighbour’s phone or a street fire alarm box to
call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire
should be left to the professionals.
Be prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in
the event of a fire:
•Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
•Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is
important that children be instructed carefully, because
they tend to hide in times of crisis.
•Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that
everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate
the tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a
missing member who is actually safe.
•If you have children or physically challenged people
residing in your household, use window decals to help
emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of
these individuals
False alarms
Smoke / heat detectors are designed to minimise false alarms.
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off an alarm, unless the
smoke is blown directly into the device’s sensor.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the device if the
alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities
of combustible particles are generated from spills or when
broiling.
Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-
recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible
products from the kitchen. If the device does sound, check for
fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire
department.
If no fire is present, check to establish may have caused the
alarm. Check the area of the device, only when certain that it is
safe to do so and check that the device’s sensitivity selection is
appropriate for its environment.
Additional information
The points below must also be followed:
•DO NOT paint the device, as this can cause contamination
of the sensor.
•Ensure that detectors are kept accessible and that there is
clear space around all devices.
•The operation of devices should be checked upon the
reoccupation of premises after vacation, etc.
•For details on the connected alarm panel’s smoke / heat
alarm capacities, refer to the alarm panel product guides
for details.
•This device is not suitable for installation in LAVs.
