Locations
This smoke alarm can be used in all residential homes and apartments and positioned in accordance with building
regulations and state legislation. Refer to figure below when deciding the number of and location of smoke alarms.
Avoid dead air space positions. Install smoke alarms along exit paths from bedrooms. Locate alarms in stairways as
stairways act as chimneys for smoke and heat. Locate a smoke alarm in any area where a smoker sleeps or where
electrical appliances are used in bedrooms. Smoke, heat and other combustion materials rise to the ceiling and
spread horizontally. In a residential dwelling, mount the smoke alarm in the centre of the ceiling. In mobile homes,
wall mount the smoke alarm on an inside partition to avoid the thermal barrier that may form under the ceiling.
Alarm Locations to Avoid
Within 1 metre of air conditioner ducts, ceiling fans and other high air flow areas. Smoke may be blown away or
diffused in these areas.
In areas where the temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above 45°C. Failure to alarm, improper alarms or
nuisance alarms may result.
In damp or very humid areas such as bathrooms or laundries, where the normal humidity may rise above 95% or
fall below 5% relative humidity. False alarms and unstable operation may result.
In areas where particles of combustion are normally present, such as garages or kitchens, as this can cause false
alarms.
In dusty or dirty areas, as an accumulation of dust and dirt in the sensing chamber may block the openings and
prevent an alarm, or may cause false alarms.
Where bugs or insects are present as they may block the openings and prevent an alarm, or may cause false
alarms.
Within 1 metre of electrical noise sources, e.g. fluorescent lights, LED lights and fan motors. Electrical noise may
cause nuisance alarms.

Wired and Wireless Interlinked Smoke Alarms
Where an installation incorporates both wired and wireless interlinked smoke alarms (hybrid networks), special care
is needed during setup to avoid an “alarm signal loop”. An alarm signal loop causes all alarms to sound, without
stopping, once one alarm has activated. To stop the alarms sounding, all wire interlinked alarms must be removed
from their bases to break the loop. An easy way to avoid an alarm signal loop is to ensure that no more than one
wired and wireless interlinked (SS10MAMA) smoke alarm in the dwelling, has its radio interlink enabled. Refer to
the Enable Switches section below. Exceptions to this rule include very large dwellings or where difficult radio paths
exist. In this case, use of multiple wireless networks linked by wired alarm segments can provide the solution.
Wired Interlinked Smoke Alarms
Interlinking smoke alarms ensures that if one alarm
senses smoke, all of the connected alarms will operate
(alarm). While all interlinked alarms will sound, only the
alarm(s) that sensed smoke will fast flash their red LED. A
signal is applied to the interlink wire (referenced to
neutral) to connect to the other interlinked alarms. This
smoke alarm also incorporates radio interlinking
functionality. As such it can operate as a gateway device
to connect wired and wireless interlinked alarms. Refer
to ‘Installation’ for the interlink connection arrangement.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION HAZARD
• All interlinked smoke alarms must be supplied from the
same circuit. A common Neutral must be used
• DO NOT connect the Interlink wire to Active or Neutral.
• Maximum of 40 interlinked smoke alarms.
• Only SmokeSight alarms can be interlinked.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
equipment damage or injury
Installation
1. If tamper prevention is required, prevents alarm removal without the use of a tool, remove the Tamper Clip from
the mounting base by twisting it back and forth until it breaks loose.
2. Strip the Active, Neutral and Interlink (if used) wires. Use a minimum of 1mm2250VAC insulated wire for all
wiring, including the interlink wiring.
3. Connect the wires to the correct terminals on the base and ensure that the terminal screws are tight.
4. Slide the terminal cover closed to avoid contact with the live terminals.

section.
Operation
This smoke alarm incorporates an option card that supports the following features:
Auto Test –Automatic alarm, scheduled self-testing
Clap Silence - Hush a false smoke alarm with a hand clap
Escape Lighting –Escape path visibility during an alarm
Radio Interlink –Allows one smoke alarm to activate all smoke alarms wirelessly
During normal operations the white LED flashes once every 5mins to indicate that the option card and battery
backup is functional. The option card functions in two modes. In operation mode the option card displays option
card alerts as well as accepts and responds to status requests. In the various configuration modes the option card
functions can be configured. Option card status requests and configuration commands are made using sequential
quick taps on the Test+Hush button. Responses from the option card include status, white LED flashes and beeps.
Configuration command success is reported by one long flash/beep while command failure is reported by two long
flashes/beeps. The current configuration mode (menu) is reported every 10secs if no command is received. If no
command is received for a period of 2mins while the alarm is in a configuration mode, the option card returns to the
operation mode. The modes are navigated as follows:

Radio Interlinked Smoke Alarms
Interlinking smoke alarms ensures that if one alarm senses smoke, all of the alarms connected to the radio network
will operate (alarm). The smoke alarm, radio interlink is a separate network that the smoke alarms establish. A
problem with a Wi-Fi network, for instance, will not affect operation of the radio interlink. The radio interlink,
enable switch is required to be switched ON to allow network configuration and operation of each alarm that will be
connected to the radio link network. Once the radio interlink network has been configured, it is saved internally such
that replacing option card batteries will not result in loss of the configuration. Access to Radio Interlink,
Configuration Mode is only possible if the Radio Interlink switch is switched to ON. The radio interlink network
comprises one master node and one or more slave nodes. The node type (master = 1 Beep/Flash for 3secs, slave = 1
Beep/Flash for 1sec) followed by built node count (node count = number of Beeps/Flashes) can be determined in the
operation mode. Failure of any node will not prevent alarm transmission as the network is self-healing.
Initial Setup
1. Switch on/Confirm that the Radio Interlink switch is set to ON. Refer to Configuration Switches for details.
2. Before powering any smoke alarm, place all smoke alarms and their two AA option card batteries on a table in
readiness for radio interlink, network setup.

SmokeSight SS10MAMA V0.5
Page 9
3. Apply option card power to the first smoke alarm by inserting its
batteries into the top battery bay of the smoke alarm. The alarm will
listen for a network that is in ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network
Mode’ for 30secs during which the white LED will flash every 2secs.
If a network is not detected, this alarm will allocate a unique Home
ID to this network and assign itself as the master node. It will then 1
Beep/Flash for 3secs confirming that it has established a network as
the master and enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’
indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs.
4. Apply option card power to the second smoke alarm by inserting its option card batteries into the top battery
bay of the smoke alarm within 2mins of the previous node being established. This slave node will then 1
Beep/Flash for 1sec confirming that it has joined the network as a slave and enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio
Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs.
5. Repeat step 4 above on the next alarm, and each subsequent alarm, on your network taking care to only apply
power to each alarm following confirmation that the previously powered alarm has joined the network as a
slave.
6. Once all alarms have been configured they will all be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last alarm has
joined the network as a slave or by 4Tap of any node’s Test+Hush button to exit ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio
Network Mode’. On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation Mode’ agrees
with your expected node count.
Configuration after Initial Setup
Build Radio Network
If you are powering up your smoke alarm and setting up the radio interlink network for the first time use the ‘Initial
Setup’ above procedure. Use this procedure if your network is not functioning correctly and it is not convenient to
perform individual ‘Return to Factory Defaults’ on each smoke alarm eg the smoke alarms are mounted on a high
ceiling. ‘Return to Factory Defaults’ would allow the ‘Initial Setup’ procedure to be repeated. It is assumed that the
Radio Interlink switch is set to ON for the smoke alarm(s) requiring this function.
1. Confirm that either no or only one network exists by proceeding to each smoke alarm and securing its node type
+ built node count. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved by 2Tap of the Test+Hush button. Any alarm
reporting a node count less than another alarm’s node count should have its network deleted using ‘Delete
Radio Network’. Alarms reporting only one node do not belong to a network so they don’t need to be deleted.
2. At any smoke alarm select ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be
achieved by 4Tap, 1Tap, 1Tap of the Test+Hush button. The alarm will listen for a network that is in ‘Add Radio
Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ for 30secs during which the white LED will flash every 2secs. If a network is
not detected, this alarm will allocate a unique Home ID to this network and assign itself as the master node. It
will then 1 Beep/Flash for 3secs confirming that it has established a network as the master and enter ‘Add Radio
Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs. If a network is detected but this
alarm is not a member, this slave node will then 1 Beep/Flash for 1sec confirming that it has joined the network
as a slave and enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs. If
this alarm is already part of the network it will simply enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’
indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs.
3. Proceed to the next alarm that is not indicating it is active in ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’
indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs and select ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’. From
‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved by 4Tap, 1Tap, 1Tap of the Test+Hush button within 2mins of the
previous node being established. This slave node will then 1 Beep/Flash for 1sec confirming that it has joined

SmokeSight SS10MAMA V0.5
Page 10
the network as a slave and enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash + 5beep
every 10secs.
4. Repeat step 3 above on the next alarm, and each subsequent alarm, on your network taking care to only add
each alarm following confirmation that the previously powered alarm has joined the network as a slave.
5. Once all alarms have been configured they will all be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last alarm has
joined the network as a slave or by 4Tap of any node’s Test+Hush button to exit ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio
Network Mode’.On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation Mode’ agrees
with your expected node count.
Add Radio Node
This function adds a new alarm node to an existing network. Refer to ‘Initial Setup’ or ‘Build Radio Network’ if you
are setting up an entire network.
1. Before powering the smoke alarm that you wish to add, select ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ on
any networked alarm. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved by 4Tap, 1Tap, 1Tap of the Test+Hush
button. All alarms on the network will enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash +
5beep every 10secs.
2. Apply option card power to the new smoke alarm by inserting its option card batteries into the top battery bay
of the smoke alarm within 2mins of all network alarms entering ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’.
This new slave node will then 1 Beep/Flash for 1sec confirming that it has joined the network as a slave and
enter ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio Network Mode’ indicated by 5flash + 5beep every 10secs.
3. Repeat step 2 above on the next alarm, and each subsequent alarm, on your network taking care to only apply
power to each alarm following confirmation that the previously powered alarm has joined the network as a
slave.
4. Once all alarms have been configured they will all be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last alarm has
joined the network as a slave or by 4Tap of any node’s Test+Hush button to exit ‘Add Radio Node / Build Radio
Network Mode’.On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation Mode’ agrees
with your expected node count.
Remove Slave Radio Node
This function removes an existing alarm node from an existing network. First check the Node Type (master or slave)
of all of the nodes that you wish to remove. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved by 2Tap of the Test+Hush
button. If one of the nodes you wish to remove is the master you will need to perform ‘Delete Radio Network’.
1. If the existing alarm or alarms that you wish to remove are functional perform a ‘Return to Factory Defaults’ on
those alarms only. From Operation Mode this can be achieved by 4Tap, 5Tap, 5Tap of the Test+Hush button on
those alarms to be removed only.
2. Remove power to the existing alarm or alarms that you wish to remove from the network.
3. On any remaining smoke alarm select ‘Remove Slave Radio Node’. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved
by 4Tap, 1Tap, 2Tap, pause, 2Tap of the Test+Hush button. The network will then check to see which alarm
nodes are active and will remove any inactive alarm nodes from the network. This alarm only will remain in
‘Radio Interlink Configuration Mode’ as indicated by 3flash + 3beep every 10secs.
4. This smoke alarm will be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last tap of the Test+Hush button or by
4Tap of the Test+Hush button. On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation
Mode’ agrees with your expected node count.
Delete Radio Network
This function deletes an existing radio interlink network.
1. Select ‘Delete Radio Network’ on any networked alarm. From ‘Operation Mode’ this can be achieved by 4Tap,
1Tap, 3Tap, pause, 3Tap of the Test+Hush button. The master node will then remove all alarm nodes, including

SmokeSight SS10MAMA V0.5
Page 11
itself from the network. All alarms will remain in ‘Radio Interlink Configuration Mode’ as indicated by 3flash +
3beep every 10secs.
2. All smoke alarms will be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 1hr after the last tap of the Test+Hush button or by 4Tap
of the Test+Hush button. On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation Mode’
agrees with your expected node count.
Auto Test
The Auto Test function provides scheduled, automatic testing of the smoke alarm. Testing consists of momentarily
simulating smoke internal to the smoke alarm which activates the smoke alarm’s siren. The option card listens for
the correct smoke alarm tone and reports an option card alarm if the test failed. The test establishes, on a regular
basis, that the smoke alarm’s smoke sensor, controller and siren are functional. Test duration is 5secs and can be
configured to be performed at a convenient time. The Auto Test establishes that only the local smoke alarm, on
which the test is performed, is functional. While interlinked alarms may also sound, Auto Test does not confirm
operation of interlinked smoke alarms. Access to Auto Test, Configuration Mode is only possible if the Auto Test
switch is switched to ON.
Setup
1. Switch on/Confirm that the Auto Test switch is set to ON. Refer to Configuration Switches for details. The
factory default, test settings are every two weeks from the day and time that the option card is first supplied
with power. Continue with the following steps only if you wish to change Auto Test times.
2. Select ‘Auto Test Configuration Mode’ - From Operation Mode this can be achieved by 4Tap, 2Tap of the
Test+Hush button. Confirmation of this mode is reported by 4flash+4beep.
3. If you wish to alter the test ‘Frequency’ 1Tap, followed by 1Tap for every week, 2Tap for every two weeks, 3Tap
for every four weeks.
4. If you wish to alter the test day ‘Days from Now’ 2Tap, followed by 1Tap for tomorrow, 2Tap for two days time
up to 7Tap for the current day ie 0 days from now.
5. If you wish to alter the test hour ‘Hours from Now’ 3Tap, followed by 1Tap for 1 hour from now, 2Tap for two
hours from now up to 24Tap for the current hour ie 0 hours from now.
6. The smoke alarm will be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last tap of the Test+Hush button or by
4Tap of the Test+Hush button. Confirm that the Auto Test Time from Now reported in ‘Operation Mode’ agrees
with your expected test time.
Example

Days from Now = 3Tap (Tuesday to Friday = 3 days)
Hours from Now = 4Tap (8am to 12 Noon = 4 hours)
Confirmation: 3 beep/flash, 4 beep/flash (3 days from today, 4 hours from now)
Clap Silence
If the smoke alarm is in alarm state, two loud hand claps in quick succession immediately below the alarm is
equivalent to pressing the Test+Hush button on that alarm. An alarm in alarm state is evidenced by its red LED
flashing rapidly. As clap volume and timing may vary, you may need to repeat clap silence more than once. The
alarm must incorporate an option card for clap silence to function.

SmokeSight SS10MAMA V0.5
Page 12
Escape Lighting
If the smoke alarm is in alarm state or receives an interlink signal from a smoke alarm that is in alarm state, the
option card, white LED flashes in high intensity mode. This feature assists evacuation by illuminating the escape path
or could be used to better signal an alarm to a hearing impaired resident.
Replacing the Option Card Batteries
The power to the smoke alarm option card is supplied by two AA 1.5VDC alkaline
batteries, located in the top battery bay of the smoke alarm. The batteries should
last a minimum of 5 years under normal operating conditions. If you experience
white LED flash/beep refer to Troubleshooting above. It is recommended to
replace the batteries on a memorable day eg 1st April, April Fool’s Day.
RECOMMENDED BATTERIES: Energizer E91, Duracell MN1500, Fujitsu LR6
TEST THE OPERATION OF THE SMOKE ALARM BY PRESSING THE TEST+HUSH
BUTTON AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Smoke Alarm
This section relates to smoke alarm operation only. For option card operation, refer above to the option card
section.
Operation
Once the mains supply is connected and the batteries are installed correctly, the smoke alarm is operational. If
smoke is detected the alarm will sound and the red LED will flash rapidly. This will continue until the air is cleared of
smoke. During normal operations the red LED flashes once every 5mins and 45secs to indicate that the smoke alarm
and battery backup is functional. The green LED is illuminated when the mains power is applied.
When the Alarm Sounds
1. Alert small children in the home.
2. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
3. When leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside the door is cool, place your
shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
4. Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
6. Call the Fire Brigade from your neighbour’s home - not from yours!
7. Don’t return to your home until officials say that it is safe to do so.
For further information on fire safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
Testing
TEST THE SMOKE ALARM ONCE PER MONTH TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION. Test by pushing the Test+Hush
button on the smoke alarm until the alarm sounds. The alarm will sound if all electronic circuitry, siren and battery
are functional. Any Interlinked alarms will also sound. If no alarm sounds, check that the battery is installed correctly
or replace the battery. If the battery is new and installed correctly and the alarm still doesn’t sound, replace the
smoke alarm. If the smoke alarm is installed in a mobile home, test weekly and after every journey. After the
Test+Hush button has been pressed, wait 10mins before any additional testing is conducted to avoid any false alarm
responses as the alarm is in reduced sensitivity mode during this period. Refer to ‘Hush‘.

IMPORTANT: If premises are unoccupied for a period of time (more than a few days) then a battery test should be
undertaken upon return. If the low battery warning sounds, test and replace the battery if necessary.
Never use an open flame of any type to test your alarm. Check that all interlinked smoke alarms operate during
the test.
Hush
This smoke alarm has a built-in Hush feature incorporated into the Test button. If cooking or other non-hazardous
sources cause the alarm to sound, it can be temporarily silenced by pressing the Test+Hush button. The alarm then
enters a low sensitivity period for 9mins. If the smoke density increases during this period from a smoke or fire
event, the unit will go into alarm mode.
Before using the alarm HUSH feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that a safe condition exists.
Replacing the Smoke Alarm Backup Battery
The backup power to the smoke alarm is supplied by two AA 1.5VDC alkaline
batteries, located in the bottom battery bay of the smoke alarm. The batteries
should last a minimum of 5 years under normal operating conditions. An audible
chirp once per minute indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Pressing
the Test+Hush button will silence the low battery chirp for up to 8 hours. It is
recommended to replace the batteries on a memorable day eg 1st April, April
Fool’s Day.
RECOMMENDED BATTERIES: Energizer E91, Duracell MN1500, Fujitsu LR6
TEST THE OPERATION OF THE SMOKE ALARM BY PRESSING THE TEST+HUSH
