1 General Description and Specifications
1.1 General Purpose
The Perenio® PECSS01 Photoelectric Sensor is a ZigBee-based device intended to
detect visible smoke particles (flameless stage). It is used as part of the Perenio
Smart Building Management System and provides for timely alert in the event of
smoke in the room.
The principle of operation is based on the Sensor triggering in the case of IR light
scattering when visible smoke particles enter the detector area, which increases the
accuracy of ignition source detection.
NOTE. The Smoke Sensor is NOT intended to detect gas, flame and high
temperatures, as well as to extinguish fire.
The PECSS01 Smoke Sensor has a number of distinctive features, namely:
High alarm level (up to 85 dB/3 m);
Timely detection of smoke in a room;
iOS and Android smartphone compatibility;
Support of ZigBee;
Ultra-low power consumption (up to 3 years of operation with one battery);
Impact- and heat-resistant casing material;
Installation using 3M Tape or screws;
Standalone operation;
Small size and stylish design.

1.6 Standalone Operation of Perenio®Sensors
The Control Gateway in not necessarily required for all Perenio® Sensors in order to
alert Users on potentially dangerous situations.
So, the Smoke Sensor can operate as a standalone device, i.e. when it detects smoke
in a room, it will beep.
However, to receive notifications on a smartphone and run active scenarios, the User
must have an installed mobile app and an activated Control Gateway, as well as unite
the above devices in a system.

2 Installation and Setup
Before installation, the User shall select one of the following possible locations and
mounting modes for the device:
On a horizontal surface (ceiling);
On a vertical surface (walls, furniture, etc.);
Using 3M mounting tape or screws.
The User shall also make sure that the selected location meets the following
requirements:
The selected location is a potential fire hazard area and it does not contain high
levels of vapor, dust and grease;
Flat and stable surface in the installation site of the Sensor.
NOTE. It is not recommended to install the device in areas with a high level of
noise and a high-frequency interference. Reinforced concrete floors may reduce
the distance of wireless signal transmission.
It is recommended to install the Smoke Sensor at a minimum distance from the
Control Gateway.
For installation of the Smoke Sensor using 3M tape (for example, on a ceiling), it is
necessary to prepare the surface as follows:
1. Wipe the surface of the Sensor to which the 3M tape will be attached with alcohol
and wait until it is dry.
2. Attach the 3M tape to the Sensor surface.
3. Make sure that the place of the Sensor installation is free from dust, dirt, etc.
4. Wipe the surface to which the 3M tape will be attached with alcohol and wait
until it is dry.
5. Attach the device in the place of installation using the 3M tape.
The entire process of setting-up the Sensor can be divided into several key stages:
Logging in to the User Account of the Perenio Smart Mobile App;
Checking for the availability of the CG connected to the mains and the Internet;
Connection of the Sensor to the Control Gateway.

distance of at least 30 cm from lamps and decorations, as well as at a distance
of at least 15 cm from walls and corners (See Figure 4).
If the length of the room exceeds 9 meters, it is recommended to install two
Smoke Sensors (one on each side of the room).
Do not install the Sensor in rooms with high level of humidity, insects, dust and/or
grease, as well as near air conditioners and ceiling fans.
Replace the Smoke Sensor at least once every ten (10) years, even if it is not
damaged.
