RED RFMOD User manual

Model: RFMOD
Wireless RF Module
COMPATIBLE MODELS WITH RFMOD
IMPORTANT: If you are installing this product for use by others, you
must leave this manual (or a copy of it) for the end user.
Add the RF module (RFMOD) to Red smoke/heat alarm to enable
wireless connection with other RF wireless alarms/products from Red
Smoke Alarms.
The purpose of the RF Module is to wirelessly connect with all Red
Smoke Alarm RF Paired devices within a system. If one alarm detects a
fire, the RFMOD module connected to that alarm will send out an RF
signal, triggering all other alarms in the system to sound off.
RFMOD removes the necessity of setting up wired connections between
alarms on various floors and rooms to convey warnings.
The RFMOD cannot function independently, it requires attached alarms.
It must be connected to the Red Smoke RF compatible alarm unit (refer
to the section "Compatible Models with RFMOD"). We advise end-users
to carefully read the installation instructions for correct RFMOD setup.
WARNING : DO NOT BEND THE ANTENNA OR THE PIN.
CAUTION : DO NOT TOUCH THE RF PCB CHIP. HOLD THE
PLASTIC HOUSING PART OF THE RFMOD FOR
INSTALLATION.

SECTION 1 - EXAMPLES OF INSTALLATION
AND REMOVAL OF THE RFMOD
Fig. 3.2

Temperature Range: 0°C to 45°C
Humidity Range: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
Maximum Lifespan: 10 years
Transmit Frequency: 433.92 MHz
Interconnecting: 40 units
RF Range 100 m free air / 30 m indoors (line of sight)
For optimal performance, it is advised to maintain a maximum distance
of 30 metres between any RF paired alarm or device. This recommenda-
tion takes into consideration that walls and other obstructions within the
building may potentially decrease the effective range.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
TESTING RF NETWORKS
• Press and hold the alarm's test button for 3 seconds, then release.
• The alarm will activate the test mode, the paired alarms and devices
will also trigger within 60 seconds. The alarm's red LED will flash for 60
seconds.
• It is advisable to conduct a self-test of all units within your RF network
on a weekly basis.
TESTING THE RF PAIRING NETWORK
Clear the RF pairing memory by pressing the RF Pairing Button five
times. The alarm's Red LED will flash ten times.
Please note: Once the RF Pairing network has been set up, the RF
Wireless Pairing Memory will persist. Activating or deactivating the
device will not eliminate the units from the RF network. The sole
approach to remove a device from the RF network is by erasing the RF
Wireless Pairing memory from the device.

SECTION 2 - RF WIRELESS PAIRING
Condition A
To set up a new RF Pairing network, the simplest approach is to gather
all RF devices and conduct the RF pairing process collectively.
Please review the conditions below to set up the RF Wireless
Pairing Network.
1. Choose an RF alarm device to act as the "Master" of the network.
2. Place the label "MASTER" onto the chosen device. Treat all other
units as "BRANCH" units.
3. To enter the self-pairing mode on the MASTER device, press and
hold the RF pairing button for 10 seconds until the alarm's red LED
turns solid.
• Refer to Figure 5 for locating the RF Pairing Button on the RHA240SL.
• Refer to Figure 5.1 for locating the Test/Hush Button on the RFMDUAL.
• Refer to Figure 5.2 for locating the Test/Hush Button on the RHA10RF.
NOTE: To exit the self-pairing mode, press the RF pairing button
once, the Red LED will turn off.
4. While the LED of the MASTER unit is illuminated, pair the BRANCH
units by pressing their RF pairing button twice. The LED of the
BRANCH unit will flash five times to indicate successful connection.
5. To confirm the success of the RF Pairing network, conduct the
testing procedure (refer to the section "TESTING THE RF PAIRING
NETWORK").
Condition B
If an existing in-house RF network has already been established and you
intend to incorporate an additional device.
Condition C
If the RF network already exists but you are uncertain about the device
designated as the master, you might consider resetting the RF network
within your premises.
1. Clear the RF Memory on all the alarm devices (refer to the section
"CLEAR RF MEMORY").
2. Carry out the RF network setup as detailed in Condition A.
3. Conduct a test to ensure the success of the RF Pairing network (refer
to the section "TESTING THE RF PAIRING NETWORK").
1. Look for the Master alarm device within the premises.
2. Proceed with steps 3 to 5 as outlined in Condition A.
• An additional alarm or ancillary product is added to the system.
• There are changes to the structure of your property.
• There are significant changes in the position of large items of furniture
or electrical products in your home.
