HomeAware HA360SSSCK2.1 Installation Manual

INSTALLATION AND SET UP FOR HOMEAWARE™ TRANSMITTER
™
The HomeAware Smoke/CO transmitter will alert you to the
sounds produced by the smoke and CO detectors already
installed in your home. This transmitter alerts you through the
HomeAware™ Main unit and remote receivers located in
other rooms.
Battery Backup Installation
Install a new 9 volt alkaline battery into the battery
compartment located on the back of the unit. See diagram for
battery door location. Battery backup will provide power
when a power outage has occurred. Power will be provided
for a continuous outage lasting 7 days, or for short outages
up to two years.
Link Button Set Up
This procedure will link your transmitter to your Main unit. The
Main unit will also provide an alert to all HomeAware™ remote
receivers. When using the Bridge unit HA360BU all original
Sonic Alert receivers (SA101, SA201, BL300, and SB1000) will
also alert you.
It is best to do the link procedure in the same room with the
HomeAware™ Main unit, make sure the unit is plugged in.
To link a transmitter to your HomeAware™ Main unit:
1. Press set up button and the word LINK will be shown on
the display, press Enter. LINK will begin blinking.
(If LINK mode is entered by accident, simply press the
BACK button to exit and return to the clock.)
2. Press and hold down the Link button on the back of your
transmitter for about 1 second. The red LED on the
transmitter will light up. Release the button.
3. Upon successful connection, the red LED on the
transmitter will flash 2 times, then turn off. The
HomeAware™ main unit will briefly show DONE, and
return to the time display. Your transmitter is now
connected and ready to test and use.
HA360SSSCK2.1 – Smoke / CO
Detecting the Different Alert Sounds
This transmitter detects loud sounds and will alert you to the
source of that sound.
When a sound is detected from the HA360SSSC it will send a
signal to the HomeAware™ base unit and all HomeAware™
remote receivers, also the red LED light will flash on the front
of the unit.
If this transmitter detects a loud sound from a smoke detector
that meets the T3 standard used for SMOKE DETECTORS,
"SMOKE" will scroll on the display of the HomeAware™ Main
Unit.
(The T3 standard is on for 0.5 sec, off for 0.5 sec, repeated 3
times, and followed by 1.5 sec of silence, as defined by NFPA
code 72.)
If the transmitter detects a loud sound from a CARBON
MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTOR that meets the T4 standard,
"CO" will scroll on the displayed of the HomeAware™ Main
Unit.
(The T4 standard is on for 0.1 sec, off for 0.1 sec, repeated 4
times, and followed by 5 sec silence, as defined by NFPA
code 720.)
For All Other Sounds
If a loud sound is detected that does NOT match the T3 or T4
standard, then "ALERT" will scroll on the HomeAware™ Main
unit in a loud, repeating pattern.
You can control the sensitivity level for the "ALERT" detection
using the switch on the back of the unit. There are three
levels to choose from: The HI setting is the most sensitive
setting and will alert you to more sounds. Moving this switch
to MED makes it less sensitive and will alert you to less
sound. The LO setting is the least sensitive. If you're not
picking up the sound you need to be alerted to simply move
the sensitivity switch to a higher setting. If you have set this
setting to HI and you are still not picking up the sound, try
moving the transmitter closer to the sound.
Power Input
The HomeAware™ Smoke/CO transmitter uses an included
12V DC power adapter. Plug the power adapter into an 120V
AC power outlet, then plug the other end into the Low Voltage
12V DC input on the left side of the unit as show in the
diagram.
