3. Wireless FAQs
ID FAQ Answer
1Can the wireless units be connected
together (on the bench) before
installing them?
Yes, the 6000WB and any 6000DCW smoke alarms can be paired
together before installing them onto the ceiling. See Section 2.1 for
details.
2What happens if units are powered
up for the first time but no buttons
are pressed?
Units will search for a network for 15 minutes after which all units will go
into Standby and the LEDs will be turned off.
To retry, press the LINK button twice quickly to re-enter Join Mode. See
Section 2.1 for details.
3What happens if a RFD doesn’t find
a network during the joining
process (eg. due to defective radio
link, being out of range, or couldn’t
find a Coordinator)
Unit will go into standby and LED will flash every 2 seconds indicating
Network not found. The unit will then become a stand alone smoke alarm
with no interlink.
4What happens if a Coordinator
doesn’t find any RFD to join after
being set as Coordinator.
Coordinator times out after 15 min, becomes a stand alone smoke alarm
with no interlink.
RFD times out after 15 minutes, becomes a stand alone smoke alarm.
Red LED will flash every 2 seconds indicating that they are not joined.
5What happens if an RFD drops from
the network?
The RFD will enter fault mode after approximately 30min.
6What happens if an RFD drops
from the network and comes back
online?
Nothing within ~30min.
After 30 minutes it will go into error mode - network fault. Once the RFD
comes back online, pressing the LINK button twice on any unit in the
network will allow it to re-join.
7What happens if the Coordinator
drops from the network?
IF no other units can hear the Coordinator AND RFD1 can hear all the
others: RFD unit 1 becomes the coordinator after 30 min and other RFD’s
will re-join.

4. Installation Instruction
It is recommended to connect alarms and bases to a dedicated circuit that is separately electrically
protected. This helps minimise interference (EMI) on alarm interconnect line from CFL’s, dimmers,
LV transformers etc.
• This wireless base will not detect smoke or heat and must be installed in conjunction with the
specified alarms. Only connect to the specified models of smoke or heat alarm. Do not connect to
any other brand of alarm/auxilary device unless approved by PSA.
• The earth terminal connection provided is for termination purposes only and is NOT electrically
connected within the sealed alarm / base units.
WARNING: THIS Wireless base MUST BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED (LICENSED)
ELECTRICIANS ONLY.
Wiring Instructions:
• In the interests of safety, this wireless base and all wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician
in accordance with the relevant requirements of the SAA Wiring Rules - AS3000.
• This wireless base plate can only interconnect with compatible smoke alarms. Interconnection with
other brands may cause damage, result in electric shock, fire risk and void warranty.

12
• There are five terminals in the supply terminal block, marked 9V, A, SW, N and LOOP. It is important
that the alarm be wired correctly to ensure correct operation. Incorrect wiring to the Smoke Alarm
will damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Terminals on the back of base plate are marked and coloured as follows:
MARKINGS
9V 9VDC POSITIVE POWER SOURCE
A ACTIVE
SW SWITCH WIRE (FOR INTERCONNECTION ONLY)
N NEUTRAL
LOOP DEAD TERMINAL
WARNING: Connecting the Switch wire terminal to any other supply conductor may
result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate or shock hazard and void the warranty of
the alarm.
A
N
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER

12 13
To connect all wireless bases use only the Active and Neutral lines. Do not connect to
the SW terminal. See diagram below.
To expand an existing interconnected system, connect a wireless base to one alarm of the hardwired
system and then install an additional wireless base at each new location. DO NOT HARDWIRE THE SW
TERMINAL OF TWO ALARMS WITH WIRELESS BASE TOGETHER.

5. Operation
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operational, once it is connected onto the 6000WB base, which had
been successfully configured into the wireless network (See Section 2). When products of combustion
are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared. If the cause of the
alarm is unknown, you should assume it was triggered by a real fire, and evacuate immediately.
TESTING: To test the smoke alarm, press its TEST button. If the unit is interlinked to other devices
in the network, all other alarms will sound. A short delay may happen before the alarms activate.
Pushing the button will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working. If
no alarm sounds, the unit has a defective battery or other failure, and should be replaced with a new
alarm. If RF interlinked to other wireless smoke alarms in the same network, all smoke alarms will
sound. It may take a few seconds for other interlinked units to alarm.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST YOUR ALARM, YOU COULD DAMAGE
THE ALARM OR IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND START A FIRE ACCIDENTALLY. USE
SMOKE TESTER LIFLT711 TO EFFECTIVELY TEST THE OPTICAL CHAMBER.
NOTE: MONTHLY TESTING IS RECOMMENDED.
HUSH & LOCATE FUNCTIONS: If smoke alarms are interlinked in a network, when one smoke alarm
activates (initiating unit), other units will also activate. For interlinked network of smoke alarms with
6000WB only, pressing the HUSH button on the initiating smoke alarm will hush all the smoke alarms
in the network.
If LIFESAVER 6000DCW smoke alarms are interlinked in the same network, pressing the HUSH button
on any non-initiating 6000DCW smoke alarm will silence all smoke alarms EXCEPT for the initiating
smoke alarm for 2 minutes. The LOCATE feature can be used repeatedly to find the initiating alarm or
until the smoke has cleared.
Lifesaver 6000 series smoke alarms are compatible with the Lifesaver 6000THL
Smoke Alarm Remote Control to conveniently test, locate and hush your smoke
alarm system.

14 15
6. Cleaning Your Alarm
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum
cleaner hose to blow or vacuum through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm.
The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by pressing the Test Button. If cleaning does not
restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should be replaced.
WARNING : Reinstall the Alarm as soon as possible to ensure continuous protection.
Please note: False alarms triggered by contaminants such as dust and insects inside the smoke alarm
will not be covered under warranty. Please ensure the smoke alarms are properly maintained and
cleaned regularly.

7. Good Safety Habits
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE AN ESCAPE PLAN
• Install and maintain Fire extinguishers on every level of the home, in the kitchen, basement and
garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each
room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
•
Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs.
• Familiarise everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave your home
when they hear it.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at night. Ensure that small
children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in order to execute the
escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to test your plan before an emergency. You may not
be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Do I Need More Smoke Alarms?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable warning for areas separated by a door
from the protected areas with smoke alarms.
For this reason, we recommend installing additional smoke alarms for increased protection. These
additional unprotected areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, utility room, and hallways.
It is not recommended for smoke alarms to be installed in the kitchen, attic or garage; as these
locations can experience conditions that would result in improper operation..

16 17
8. Limitations Of Smoke Alarms
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY.
• Fire safety in residential occupancies is primarily based on providing early warning to the
occupants of the need to evacuate the building. This must be followed by their appropriate
actions. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the
occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often either trapped by the fire, too old or young,
physically or mentally impaired, such that they cannot escape even when early warning was
given. For these people, other strategies such as assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to ensure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good
operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke
alarms may not sense fires that have started in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a
closed door or on a different floor.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound
sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning of a fire, they are not
a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance
to protect their lives and property.
