X-Sense SCO6-W/SCO7-W - Wireless Smoke and Carbon Manual

This user manual contains important information about your combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm's operation. То ensure proper use and trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully and store it in а safe place for future reference.

Introduction

AII X-Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms conform with regulatory requirements, including EN 14604 and EN 50291 Standards and are designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.

This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally more sensitive than ionization technology. lt is effective at detecting large particles, which tend to bе produced in greater amounts bysmoldering fires. These types of fires may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

Carbon monoxide (СО) is odorless, tasteless and invisible - it's а silent killer. Using electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect increased levels of carbon monoxide early, protecting your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide.

• The installation of the apparatus should not bе used as а substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
• This apparatus is to bе installed byа competent person.
• lt is not tested for use in а caravan or boat.

NOTE: For maximum protection, use smoke and СО alarms оn each level and in every bedroom of your home.

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!

Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your X-Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. The buzzer will inform you of the type of situation occurring.

How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms

AII X-Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms contain а built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more interlinked alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound. The X-Sense Link+series contain wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to bе wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense Link+ alarms, but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.

The X-Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected, and the alarms in each multi-pack have their own independent interlinked network. lf you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to connect them all to the same network. Choose one multi-pack as your base network and connect the other multi-packs to it.

NOTE: The following instructions regarding wireless interconnection are applicable to the X-Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms only.

How to Interconnect

1. Make sure you only work with 2 units at а time, and make sure that they are both turned on to ensure successful connection.
   NOTE: То turn оn SC06-W/SC07-W, attach the alarm properly to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock it. То learn how to turn оn different models of wireless interlinked alarms, please refer to their specific user manuals for more details.
2. Quickly press the test/silence button on one of the 2 units 4 times; it will beep once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode and is waiting for а new unit to bе added. Quickly press the test/silence button on the other unit twice; it will beep once and the LED will flash red rapidly, indicating it is searching for а device to connect to.
3. After the search is successful and an interconnected group is created, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode. At this point, both units will only flash once 60 seconds, indicating they are in normal standby mode.
4. lf you want to connect а third alarm to this group, first activate а new device according to its operating instructions, and then quickly press the test/silence button on either of the 2 previously interconnected units 4 times. This unit will beep once, and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it is ready to add а new device to the network. Next, quickly press the test/silence button on the new unit twice, and the LED will flash red rapidly as it searches for а network to connect to. After the third unit successfully joins the interconnected network, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode.
5. lf you want to connect more units, simply repeat step 4. Up to 24 alarms can bе interconnected this way. То ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you only work with 2 units at а time-one unit enters the pairing mode and the other unit enters the searching mode.
6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section "Alarm Test:'

NOTES

1. The alarm will enter the searching mode or the pairing mode for 60 seconds with the LED flashing red. After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. lf needed, press the test/silence button once while the alarm is in the searching mode or the pairing mode, and the LED will stop flashing red and the alarm will quit the pairing mode to enter normal status.
2. Test all wireless alarms to ensure they are interconnected before installation.
3. А maximum of 24 wireless alarms can bе interconnected оn the same network.
4. The model can only bе interconnected with other X-Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms.

How to Disconnect

Press the test/silence button 4 times; the alarm will beep once. Then, hold down the button until it beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can bе reconnected to the same network, or added to а new network.

NOTE: The X-Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. То create а new network, you will first need to disconnect each alarm individually in this multi-pack to avoid having them all join the same network.

Alarm Mode

X- Sense Link⁺ wireless interlinked alarms can bе interconnected such that any unit that senses danger will cause all other units in the interconnected network to alarm.

lf the Initiating Unit ls Triggered by Smoke

When one smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times, paired with the LED that flashes red every 1.5 seconds. Any other SC06-W/SC07-W units will follow suit-they will beep 3 times every 1.5 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession.

lf the Initiating Unit is Triggered bY СО

When one СО alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other SC06-W/SC07-W units in the network will follow suit-they will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep. When the СО concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.

NOTES

1. When one unit is triggered, other interconnected units will sound. lf the smoke alarm and СО alarm are triggered in the network at the same time, the alarm signal of the smoke alarm will take priority over that of the СО alarm.
2. This alarm has а relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection coverage.

Alarm Test

Ве sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or when the group configuration has changed. ln addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning from а long trip or vacation.

lf your X-Sense Link⁺ SC06-W/SC07-W is interconnected to other X-Sense wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual alarm is tested during the weekly test.

NOTE: The test function accurately tests the alarm's circuits without the need to test with smoke and СО. lf your alarm fails to give аn audible test signal, please refer immediately to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual.
