Challenger SMART FORCE ASFSM Installation And Operating Instructions

ASFSM Wireless Smoke Detector
Installation and Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW
This battery operated photoelectric Wireless Smoke Detector is designed to sense
smoke that comes into the detector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or flame.
It consists of a Smoke Detector and a RF module, which is designed to be worked
with a series of ASFK1 Smart Force Hub, operating at 868MHz only. The working
principle is when the smoke detector detects a certain density of smoke, the internal
sounder of smoke detector will sound and in the meantime, the RF module will emit
the signals to the control panel you have connected for further execution. It can
provide early warning for you and your family to escape before a fire spreads.
Please note that this detector is not interlinkable.
By pressing the Learning (Binding) key on the detector, it will emit the ID code to the
ASFK1 Smart Force Gateway Hub. As an indication of normal operation, the LED
on the detector will be flash once every 30 seconds. When battery level drops, the
detector will beep once every 30 seconds and emit radio signals to the control panel.
When this occurs, the battery should be replaced immediately.

Compliance with the building Control or local authorities may need to be sought
prior to installing to ensure the smoke detector is suitable for the property type.
Optical Smoke Alarms are best at detecting smoldering fires such as those started
in electrical equipment, clothing and soft furnishings such as seating, bedding,
curtains and carpets. They are, therefore, ideally suited for living rooms, bedrooms
and escape routes in domestic accommodation. The detector is designed for use in
a single residential property only, and not dwellings of Housing Multiple Occupancy.
Smoke detectors, placed in common areas outside of the individual living unit, such
as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early warning to residents. In
multi-family buildings, each family living unit should set up its own detectors.
The detector is not meant to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses,
industrial or commercial buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings
require special fire detection and alarm systems. This detector is not a suitable
substitute for complete fire detection systems for places where many people live or
work, such as hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing
homes or group homes of any kind, even if they were once single family homes.
For complete coverage in residential units, it should be installed in all rooms, halls,
storage areas, basements and attics in each family living unit. Minimum coverage
is one detector on each floor and one in each sleeping area.
Useful tips:
1. Install a detector in the hallway outside every separate bedroom area as shown
in Figure 1. Two detectors are required in homes with two bedroom areas as
shown in Figure 2.
