Wiring Instructions
The wireless interlink relay module can be used for signalling compatible Lifesaver equipment or to activate
auxiliary warning devices such as external bells and sirens, hallway or stairwell lighting. It provides isolated (no
internal connection to 240 volts AC), normally open, and normally closed contacts.
!WARNING! Alarm and relay module wiring installation must comply with the current edition of AS3000
and Wiring Regulations and all appropriate prevailing local regional / national building regulations / codes of
practice.
To be installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to install this product correctly may expose the user to
electric shock or fire risk hazards. This relay module is not rated as waterproof and must not be exposed to
dripping or splashing water. The relay module must be installed correctly in order to function. The electrical
circuit used to power the alarms and the relay module must be 240 volt AC 50Hz. This relay module has a
rechargeable battery backup to allow it to function in the event of mains power outage.
!WARNING: This product cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square
wave or modified sine wave inverter. These type of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the
structure in ‘off grid’ installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce
high peak voltages that can damage the device.
!IMPORTANT: Whenever alarms and relay modules are interconnected they must be powered on a
single circuit. It is recommended to connect the module and alarms 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 6000WIRM relay module 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 MODULE MUST BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED (LICENSED)
ELECTRICIANS ONLY.
• In the interests of safety, this wireless module and all wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician in
accordance with the relevant requirements of the SAA Wiring Rules - AS3000.

• This wireless module can only interconnect with compatible smoke alarms. Interconnection with other
brands may cause damage, result in electric shock, fire risk and void warranty.
• 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 module are marked as follows:
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.
RELAY OPERATION
The wireless relay may take a few seconds to operate when the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide alarm is
activated. This is due to the time to receive the wireless signal. Conversely, when the smoke alarm or carbon
monoxide deactivates, the relay may take a few seconds to deactivate.
