Firefighter WST-600 Installation Manual & Users Manual

Installation Manual & Users Guide
SPECIFICATIONS
Frequency: 433.92MHz
3Vdc lithium CR123A (1550 mAh)
Battery life: 4 years
Detection distance: 6 in max
OPERATION
The FireFighter™ sensor is designed to listen to any smoke, carbon or combo detector. Once confirmed as an alarm, it will transmit a signal to
the alarm control panel which if connected to a central monitoring station, will dispatch the fire department.
ENROLLING
Follow the instructions provided by your control panel, or wireless receiver manual. The 6 digit serial number is printed on back of each device. To
monitor smoke alarms, when prompted by the panel, enter the 6 digit serial number as printed on the device. Use either zone type 88 ( Standard 24
hour fire) or type 87 (Delayed 24 hour fire). Remember to set the wireless bit (bit 8) for that zone attribute.
To monitor a CO detector, take the printed serial number and replace the first digit with an 8. For example if the number printed is 436A48, you would
use 836A48 as the serial number for the CO portion. Use zone type 81 (24 hour Carbon Monoxide).
MOUNTING (see IMAGE: 2)
Included with this device is a mounting bracket, hardware and double sided tape. To ensure proper operation ensure the side of the device
with the small holes is directly facing the sounder holes on the smoke detector. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling using the
two mounting screws and double sided tape provided, then secure the audio detector to the mounting bracket using the small screw
provided. The FireFighter™ must be mounting within 6 inches of the detector for optimal operation.
***** It is possible that the sensor can hear other smoke detectors in close proximity so it is important to choose and to install the sensor close to
a detector that is relatively isolated from other detector. It that is not possible, the sensor will still function it will however take longer to register
and transmit to the panel. Smoke detectors to avoid are typically ones mounted in hallways outside of bedrooms that will also have additional
smoke detectors.
WARNING: Non-interconnected smoke detectors require an audio detector by each smoke detector sounder.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with Chapter 2 of the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance,
evacuation planning, and repair service is to be provided with this equipment. Warning: Owner's instruction notice: 'Not to be removed by
anyone except occupant'.
TESTING (see IMAGE: 1)
To test the RF transmission from the mounted position you can either generate a tamper by removing the cover or press the learn button located
next to the tamper switch. Press and release ONCE to send a Smoke signal or press and HOLD for 2 seconds to send a Carbon signal.
Within the first hour of power up the sensor is in a test mode. This mode is designed to work with the test button of the smoke detector so that
only 1 or 2 temporal patterns is required to trigger the sensor. After the 1 hour has elapsed the sensor will require at least 3 rounds of either
temporal 3 (smoke) or temporal 4 (CO) before it will send a transmission to the control panel. . Ensure the FireFighter™ cover is on and that you
wear hearing protection when doing the audio testing. Then simply press and hold the smoke detector test button.
If 24 Hr, delay fire zone type is used the alarm must be active for 30 second before the panel will transmit to the Central Station.
NOTE:
This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once every three (3) years. Please test the unit once per week to ensure proper
functionality.
Legacy Smoke Detectors
All Smoke detector should be replaced after 10 year. If you encounter a smoke detector that does not support Temporal 3 pattern, that smoke
should be replaced as per the manufacturer recommendation.
If replacement is not an option the FireFighter can be program to detect non-temporal detectors.
** In this mode, the sensor must not be located near any other audible device, like the security keypad or sounder. Those can be misconstrued
as a valid smoke alarm. To enter this mode press and hold the tamper button while inserting the battery. Release the tamper switch and note
the LED
ONE flash: Only a Temporal 3 and 4 signal will trigger an alarm (Default)
TWO flashes: Generic listening mode. (Will trigger after 30 seconds of continuous sound)
You can verify the mode the device is in by simply removing the battery and replacing it. The LED will flash once or twice depending on the
mode it is in. Repeat the steps above to change the mode as required.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the battery:
1. Remove the top cover to reveal the battery. This will send a tamper signal to the control panel.
2. Replace with a Panasonic CR123A battery ensuring the + side of the battery faces as indicated on the device.
