  • Page 6: Introduction

    RFS1 V2 must be flexible, have design integrity, be reliability and be conscious occupant amenity. The RFS1 V2 has features that allow the occupant to use and manage the system, but controls that prevent accidental disablement. Australian Standard AS3786:2014 and AS1603.3:2018 have established a performance standard for Smoke and Heat Alarms for Domestic/Residential applications.

    It will give off visible smoke and toxic fumes at much greater levels. For this reason, Brooks has used only photoelectric Smoke Alarms in the RFS1 V2 system. Research indicates this technology is superior in performance to ionisation in residential applications and is the overall best and most reliable type of smoke alarm technology for use in the modern dwelling.

    However independent authorities have stated that they may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a number of reasons for this: • The Alarms will not work if the mains power supplied by RFS1 V2 control panel is off and the back-up battery is depleted.
  • Page 11: Locating Smoke / Heat Alarms

    A Heat Alarm should only be used in a room adjoining an escape route, and must be used in conjunction with Smoke Alarms on the escape routes. The Heat and Smoke Alarms are interconnected with RFS1 V2 to ensure the early warning will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly designed early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes become blocked with smoke or heat.

    Operation & Installation Manual RFS1 V2 MA365 Rev 3 Important: These Smoke/Heat Alarms are designed for use in a residential type environment. 2.4.3 Checking Audibility of Smoke / Heat Alarms With the Alarm sounding in its intended location, check that you are able to hear it in each bedroom with the door closed above the sound of your radio.
  • Page 13: Interconnecting Smoke/Heat Alarms

    Interconnecting Smoke/Heat Alarms The Brooks Smoke Alarm EIB650iWX and Heat Alarm EIB603CX provide an interconnect facility to RFS1 V2. When one Smoke/Heat Alarm activates all Smoke/Heat Alarms and panel buzzer will sound, this provides not only an increased sound pressure level but also an alarm warning throughout the entire dwelling. Up to 15 Smoke/Heat Alarms models EIB650iWX, and/or EIB603CX can be interconnected to the RFS1 V2.
