NUBI 4.0 – PLUG & PLAY
Model: NB40PP
Power suppl : 3,6V lithium batter
PIR: YES
Thank ou for purchasing NUBI 4.0, the wireless,
intelligent and Plug & Pla securit smoke screen device. It
can be used with an anti-theft s stem, coupling the device
to an internal siren.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THE
ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING TO
PRODUCT INSTALLATION.
1. OVERVIEW
The device is powered b a 3.6V AA size lithium batter
supplied with the product, such as SAFT LS14500 or
similar. This batter provides the necessar energ to the
device for a period of 10 ears. The ignition of the smoke
cartridge is ensured even when the batter is ver low
(2.2V). When the batter is about to run out, the device will
beep ever hour.
NUBI 4.0 efficientl protects volumes up to 100 m3. The
smoke generated b NUBI 4.0 is based on incense and
does not produce toxic atmosphere as tested according to
the TLV-STEL directive EU 2017/164 and ACGIH. After use
the room must be ventilated before sta ing there.
The device is completel wireless, it can be installed onl
with two dowels. In the same room where NUBI 4.0 is
installed, an internal siren is required. Programming
operations are not necessar on the burglar alarm control
panel. The sound of the siren is digitized during the pairing
operation to be performed during installation. Thanks to
digital learning, sounds other than the specific coupled
siren will not produce an effect, even the sound of the
same siren model, but installed in a different room, will not
activate NUBI 4.0.
While the coupled siren sounds, NUBI 4.0 switches to the
"active state" and as soon as it detects movement with its
infrared sensor it triggers the emission of smoke. It is
possible to extend the "active state" of NUBI 4.0 for 5
minutes even after the siren has stopped sounding (see
chapter 6: select the operating mode).
For the first 20 minutes after performing the siren coupling
operation, or inserting the power suppl batter , it is
possible to perform the functional test of NUBI 4.0 without
causing smoke emission.
The smoke cartridge works onl once, the smoke
emission, when triggered, can no longer be interrupted.
The replacement of the smoke cartridge is ver simple, the
conductors of each cartridge end with the activation card
which will be easil plugged into the appropriate connector
on the motherboard.
NUBI 4.0 is a famil of products, in addition to the Plug &
Pla version, other models are available to be connected
to the alarm control panel through the inputs and outputs.
The are available with 12V power suppl or batter , with
or without built-in infrared sensor. For more information,
visit www.smarteksrl.it.
2. INSTALLATION
NUBI 4.0 can be easil
installed on the wall or
even in a corner at a
height between 150 and
250 cm.
WARNING
Do not insert an obstacle at a distance of less than 1.5
meters from the smoke outlet hole.
The best performance is achieved when the jet of smoke
coming out from NUBI 4.0 directl hits the floor, in this wa
the smoke will cool and spread better.
NUBI 4.0 Plug & Pla must be installed in the same room
where an internal alarm s stem siren is located.
Do not place NUBI 4.0 in particularl nois places, as well
as near strong sound sources, such as television or
speakers. Strong and continuous sound sources will
reduce batter life.
The distance between NUBI 4.0 and the siren should be
approximatel between 0.5 and 2 m, but this parameter
strongl depends on each siren. In principle it is better to
keep the siren close to NUBI 4.0 to obtain better noise
immunit , but if it is too close it could be reached b an
excessive sound level or influenced b sound reflection
phenomena.
To obtain maximum immunit to anomalies due to ambient
sound reflections, it is recommended to install the siren
and NUBI 4.0 at a height greater than 2 meters.
Before definitivel fixing NUBI 4.0 to the wall, proceed to
carr out the sound tests described in chapter 3 and 4
below.
3. TEST OF SOUND THRESHOLD
Open the box, insert the batter into the motherboard
without connecting the smoke cartridge, then close the
container. The green LED reports a sound level lower than
the 90Db threshold, the red one reports a higher level that
causes the device to wake up.

NB40PP
REV 02 – November 2019 - ENGLISH
Perform the sound tests with the closed box, so as to
simulate the real working condition.
For longer batter life, ambient noise should not frequentl
turn on the red LED, while it is essential that the sound of
the siren do it.
The LEDs are offset from the slots to allow the
best frontal observation.
4. TEST OF THE SIREN
This test controls if the sound level of the siren is suitable
to be digitized. Pressing the "PAIR" button alternates the
"sound threshold test" (blue LED off) and the "siren test"
(blue LED on).
1. Sound the siren
2. Hold the appliance in the installation position.
3. Press the "PAIR" button (blue LED ON).
4. Wait about 2 seconds
5. Observe the red and green LEDs:
# Red Green Result
1 SF OFF Sound too weak
2 SF ON Sound OK, but too weak
3 OFF ON Sound OK
4 FF ON Sound OK, but strong
5 FF OFF Sound too strong
SF = Slow flashing, FF = Fast flashing
Table 1: siren test result
Condition 3 is the ideal one, in conditions 2 or 4 the
appliance works, but if it is possible to improve the
positioning. In conditions 1 or 5 the positioning must
necessaril be modified.
To re licate the test in another osition:
•Reach the new location
•Press the "PAIR" button twice to reset the
previous test (blue LED OFF, blue LED ON)
•Wait 2 seconds and see the new result.
Once the sound tests have been erformed,
o en the device and remove the battery.
5. FIXING THE DEVICE
After opening the
top cover, fix the
lower part of the
box on the wall
using the holes
(A).
6. SELECT OPERATING MODE
Use the appropriate JUMPER to select whether to dela
the return of NUBI 4.0 to the "sleep mode" when the sound
of the siren ceases.
MODE1 => Jum er o ened => no delay
NUBI 4.0 will return to "sleep mode" at the end of the siren
sound, regardless of its duration.
MODE 2 => Jum er closed => 5' delay
When the duration of the sound of the siren does not
exceed the time recorded in the pairing phase, NUBI 4.0
will return to the "sleep mode" when the sound stops, as in
mode 1. Otherwise, if the duration of the sound of the siren
exceeds that recorded in the phase of pairing, NUBI 4.0
will remain active and will return to "sleep mode" 5 minutes
after the sound of the siren stops.
MODE 2 allows ou to discriminate between two
situations: an alarm caused b a user mistake, which
disarm the s stem within a reasonable time or a real alarm
that will last longer. During the 5 minutes after the end of
the siren sound, NUBI 4.0 will emit a short acoustic signal
ever 8 seconds to indicate that it is still active, a useful
signal especiall for the s stem owner.
7. INSTALL THE SMOKE CARTRIDGE
WARNING
Before mounting the smoke
canister, check the color of the
shock indicator. Do not mount the
smoke canister if the indicator is
stained red.

NB40PP
REV 02 – November 2019 - ENGLISH
1) Insert the smoke cartridge into its housing.
2) Insert the smoke cartridge connector into the
appropriate one on the motherboard.
WARNING
Remove the batter from the motherboard before
connecting the smoke cartridge and wait at least
10 seconds.
Finall close the box.
8. SIREN PAIRING
Perform this operation when both NUBI 4.0 and the siren
are fixed in the final position. Changing the installation
location after pairing will result in the failure of the siren
recognition. Press and hold the pairing button for 3
seconds, until the blue LED flashes and a beep is emitted.
NUBI 4.0 is now in pairing state.
When the red and green LEDs flash, wait a few seconds
for them to switch off before pressing the "PAIR" button.
Battery test: As soon as ou enter pairing state, the green
LED will light up for 5 seconds if the batter is charged, or
the red LED if it is exhausted.
Walk test: After the batter test, NUBI 4.0 will beep ever
time the integrated infrared sensor detects movement,
allowing the detector's range to be tested. The test ends as
soon as the siren sound recording starts or exited
prematurel from the pairing state.
Exit airing state: You can cancel the pairing state
before start recording the sound with a short press of the
“PAIR” button. In this case, an previousl stored siren
pairing will not be erased from the memor . It ma be
useful to exit prematurel from pairing state when ou want
to perform onl the walk test.
Pairing the siren: Sound the siren for at least 20 seconds
or for a longer time at will, especiall if ou have selected
MODE 2 for operation.
Avoid to stay close the device during
registration, this could alter its qualit . Look at the
result of digitization on the LEDs, after turning off
the siren.
The result of the recording is the one alread shown in
Table 1. When the sound of the siren stops, the LEDs will
remain lit for a minute to allow control. To switch them off
prematurel simpl press the "PAIR" button briefl . The
best result is that the blue and green LEDs are on and the
red LED is off.
9. PAIRING CHECK
The right siren pairing can be checked in the following
wa s:
With the NBCT test cartridge accessory:
The NBCT test
cartridge simulates the
behavior of the smoke
cartridge, but instead of
dispensing the smoke it
emits a series of beeps
and lights up its LEDs. NUBI 4.0 Plug & Pla with the test
cartridge is immediatel operational and ignores the 20
minute test time described below.
With the smoke cartridge su lied, but without
causing the emission of smoke:
For 20 minutes after pairing the siren, or after inserting the
batter , NUBI 4.0 enters a special "test mode". Regardless
of how the operating mode 1 or 2 is set, the behavior is
alwa s the following:
•When the siren sounds nothing happens, even
passing in front of the infrared sensor.
•If the siren sounds for a shorter time than the one
learned during the pairing phase, when the sound
stops NUBI 4.0 emits a series of beeps and
renew again 20 minutes to carr out a new test.
•If the siren sounds longer than the one learned
during the pairing phase, when the sound stops
NUBI 4.0 emits a beep ever 8 seconds and
remains active. When the infrared sensor detects
movement, NUBI 4.0 emits a series of beeps and
renew again 20 minutes to carr out a new test. If
no movement is detected for 5 minutes, NUBI 4.0
returns to the "sleep mode", still renewing the 20-
minute timer to perform a new test.
After 20 minutes from the last event that renew the timer
(power suppl , coupling with the siren or a test performed),
NUBI 4.0 enters into standard operating mode.

NB40PP
REV 02 – November 2019 - ENGLISH
10. OPERATING MODE
NUBI 4.0 is normall in "sleep mode". When it recognizes
the sound of the paired siren it goes into the "active state",
read to trigger the emission of smoke as soon as the
infrared sensor detects movement. When the sound of the
siren ends, NUBI 4.0 will return to "sleep mode"
immediatel or after 5 minutes, depending on the selected
operating mode 1 or 2 and the duration of the siren sound.
When it switches from "active state" to "sleep mode" it
alwa s emits a series of 8 beeps. When NUBI 4.0 remains
in the "active state" and the sound of the siren has ceased,
it emits a beep ever 8 seconds.
11. SMOKE CANISTER REPLACEMENT
Onl use original spare parts, remove the empt cartridge
and install the new one, as described in chapter 7.
12. MAINTENANCE
We recommend replacing the smoke cartridge ever 4
ears, using onl the original spare part.
If the installation place of the siren or NUBI 4.0 is changed,
carr out a new coupling.
If obstacles are inserted between the siren and NUBI 4.0,
such as bookcases or cabinets, proceed with a new
pairing.
In the case of using self-powered wireless sirens, alwa s
keep the siren batteries in good condition so that the do
not produce a distorted sound.
13. WARRANTY
SMARTEK s.r.l. It guarantees its products against all
manufacturing defects for a period of 30 months from the
production date shown on the label.
14. RECOMMENDATIONS
Before leaving, ventilate the rooms thoroughl after the
smoke has been delivered.
15. ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS
Below we describe the behavior of the LEDs when an
advanced diagnostic operation is required:
PAIRING STATE:
The blue LED flashes. As soon as ou enter in pairing
state, the batter test is performed for 5 seconds: Green
LED ON = batter charged, red LED ON = batter to be
replaced. After the initial 5 seconds, when it receives
sound > 90db, in the first 5 seconds the blue LED will flash
ver quickl , if the sound stops the LED will return to
flashing normall . If the sound persists for more than 5
seconds, the blue LED lights up steadil indicating that the
recording phase has begun. When the blue LED is ON
stead and the green LED flashes the digitization of the
siren sound is finished, it is continuing to memorize the
pla ing time. At the end of the sound the blue LED is ON
and the result on the green and red LEDs as described in
table 1.
OPERATING MODE:
During the "test mode" (first 20 minutes), the red and
green LEDs flash alternatel to indicate that NUBI 4.0 is
anal zing a sound> 90db to recognize the siren.
The green LED flashes: NUBI 4.0 has recognized the siren
sound and it is in "active state".
