maintained (see Heat Detector Maintenance section) and installed in
line with current local legislation. If proper maintenance is not carried
out, there is a likelihood of malfunction, including false alarms, which
could disrupt operation on site.
Heat Detectors are intended for internal use in enclosed spaces.
Detectors will not function correctly if installed in open spaces without
ceilings, walls etc.
Smoke Detectors
WES3Smoke Detectors are silent but communicate with sounding
units automatically to raise the alarm if smoke is detected.
All Smoke Detectors are sensitive to dust and steam - use the WES3
Smoke Detector in dusty areas, or a WES3 Heat Detector in areas
exposed to excessive levels of dust or steam. If a detector has raised

WES3Smoke Detectors should be securely mounted to the ceiling and
should be regularly maintained (see Smoke Detector Maintenance
section) and installed in line with current local legislation. If proper
maintenance is not carried out, there is a likelihood of malfunction,
including false alarms, which could disrupt operation on site. Smoke
Detectors are intended for internal use in enclosed spaces. Detectors
will not function correctly if installed in open spaces without ceilings,
walls etc.
Link
WES3Link units are used solely to relay WES3radio messages on
large or complex sites if there is no need for additional Fire Points. Link
units should be securely wall mounted.
Interface
WES3Interface units allow input or output devices to be connected to
or via the WES3 network. They can also take an input from an external
trigger and set off the alarm on the WES3system.
System Overview
All WES3units have three indicator LEDs, plus two push buttons,
labelled A and B. Some units have additional buttons and features.
At least one CONNECT unit or Base Station needs to be included in a

The tamper switch on the rear of each unit must be in contact with the
wall or ceiling for the unit to function correctly.
All WES3units relay all WES3radio messages for the relevant site.
CONNECT
WES CONNECT includes a alphanumeric key pad, colour LCD display
and a 4G GSM module to include a 4G-enabled sim card.
CONNECT units can be used as mobile units (see Mobile Base
section).
Base Station
WES3Base Stations include a buzzer, an LCD display, a navigation
pad, and if the 3G GSM model has been selected, a modem to allow
SMS message sending.
Base Stations can be used as mobile units (see Mobile Base section).

rises above a safe level. Heat Detectors are silent, but communicate
with Fire Points and Base Stations to raise an audible alarm. If a
