DuoFern Smoke Alarm Radio
Module 9481
for ESYLUX PROTECTOR K 9 V
Operating and Installation Manual
The use of defective equipment can lead
to personal injury and damage to prop-
erty.
Never use defective or damaged equipment.
Please contact our Customer Service depart-
ment in this event.
7. Functional description
Monitoring the battery charge
In addition, the DuoFern Radio Module transmits the bat-
tery's state of charge on a daily basis. This way, the battery
condition can be easily monitored and an empty battery can
be exchanged in time.
NOTE
The alarm signal is the only safety-related function of the
smoke alarm and this is not influenced by the radio module.
Only use the DuoFern Radio Module in connection with:
◆the Smoke Alarm ESYLUX PROTECTOR K 9 V
◆a HomePilot® in the DuoFern network
◆DuoFern actuators
Operating conditions:
◆Only use the DuoFern Radio Module in:
– private apartments or in rooms with apartment-
like use
– dry rooms
◆Avoid installation in rooms with large temperature
fluctuations.
◆The DuoFern Radio Module is battery-operated; no
mains connection is required.
◆The installation and operation of the DuoFern radio
system and its components (e.g. DuoFern Radio Mod-
ule) is only permitted for systems and devices where
a malfunction in the transmitter or receiver would not
cause a danger to personnel or property or where this
risk is already covered by other safety equipment.
Important information on the radio technology
◆Radio systems which transmit on the same frequency
(see technical specifications) can cause interference.
Avoid installation near such radio systems and near
large electrical appliances.
◆The radio range and susceptibility to interference can
also be influenced by:
– insulation foil
– aluminium foil
– metallic surfaces
6. General view
8. Installation of the smoke alarm
The battery-operated DuoFern Radio Module serves to inte-
grate smoke alarms of the ESYLUX PROTECTOR K 9 V series
into the DuoFern network.The power supply for the DuoFern
Radio Module shall be effected via the smoke alarm battery.
It reacts to the alarm signal of the smoke alarm and trans-
mits these to a registered HomePilot® or DuoFern actuator.
Alarm signals to a HomePilot®:
◆"Start smoke" as soon as smoke is detected
◆"End smoke" as soon as smoke is no longer detected
Reporting an alarm signal to the HomePilot® serves as an
additional signal to trigger scenes.
Alarm signal to a DuoFern actuator:
◆"Open" as soon as smoke is detected
◆"Stop" as soon as smoke is no longer detected
This way, escape routes can also open without HomePilot®
or, e. g., a lamp or siren can be switched on via a socket actu-
ator.
3. General safety information
◆Using the DuoFern Radio Module for purposes other
than previously mentioned is impermissible and is
regarded as improper use.
◆Do not install the DuoFern Radio Module outside.

7. Functional description
Please consider the installation instructions
as well as the recommended installation ar-
eas in the enclosed operating manual of the
ESYLUX PROTECTOR K 9 V Smoke Alarm.
The DuoFern Radio Module is mounted in the
base of the smoke alarm.
The power supply for the DuoFern Radio Module shall be ef-
fected via the smoke alarm battery.
Recommended battery type
An optimum battery life is only achieved by using a 9 V
lithium monobloc battery. Alkaline monobloc batteries do
not suffice, see also Chapter 13.
9. Connect the DuoFern Radio Module to the
smoke alarm
The wrong connection may lead to
malfunctions.
◆Therefore, pay attention to the correct
polarity of the connection.
◆The correct polarity, or respectively, con-
nector position is printed on the smoke
alarm, see Figure 2. / 2.1.
1. Plug the three-phase terminal of the DuoFern
RadioModule ontotheplug contactsof thesmoke
alarm.
Figure 2
◆Never use the DuoFern radio system and its compo-
nents for the remote control of appliances and systems
with increased safety-relevant requirements or where
there is an accident risk. This shall require additional
safety equipment. Observe the respective statutory
regulations for the installation of such systems.

Base
Indicator light
(green/red)
Correct con-
nector position
The cables must point
in the direction of the
battery compartment.
1. Connect the battery to the smoke alarm. In doing
so, check for correct polarity.
2. Insert thebatteries intothe batterycompartment
of the smoke alarm and then close it.
NOTE
The DuoFern Radio Module and the smoke alarm can
only be put together with the battery inserted and con-
nected, see also Chapter 11.
3. If the battery is correctly connected, the indi-
cator light (LED) of the smoke alarm will briefly
light up every 45 seconds.
To check this, the test button on the smoke alarm can
be briefly pressed to carry out a function test, see also
Chapter 12.
NOTE
During each self-test, the smoke
alarm will sound a very loud alarm
signal.
The DuoFern Radio Module must be connected to the
DuoFern network.
For the alarm signals to be received in the DuoFern network,
the DuoFern Radio Module must be logged-on to a DuoFern
HomePilot® or to a DuoFern actuator, see also Chapter 10.
Further information on the DuoFern system can be
found at:

8.1 Instructions on the correct assembly position
for the DuoFern Radio Module
The radio range
The range of the DuoFern Radio Module inside a building
is approx. 30 m. Through mains-operated actuators and
sensors, the range in the DuoFern network is multiplied by
means of routing.
An incorrect installation position may lead to inter-
ference with reception.
Therefore, do not install the DuoFern Radio Module near
large electrical appliances or near metallic areas.
