INTRODUCTION
Please carefully read and retain this manual for the entire duration of
the device's use, as it contains vital information on the installation
and operation of the OM866RB-10RF Pairing Relay Base. The
manual should be considered an integral part of the product, and if
you are installing the device, it is mandatory to provide a copy of the
manual to the homeowner and any subsequent users.
The OM866RB-10RF Pairing Relay Base is a versatile device that
switches a relay upon receiving a wireless alarm signal from a
compatible Red RF smoke alarm. The electrically isolated contacts
1. Connect the power supply wires (Live & Neutral) to the mains
terminal block according to Fig.2. (Screw tightening torque: max
0.5Nm (5.1kgf.cm)).
Note: Do not connect a green/yellow or copper earth wire to any
terminal, as the unit must not be earthed.
2. Connect the L (Live) wire from the power supply of the auxiliary
device to the COM (Common) terminal.
3. Connect either the NC or NO contact of the relay (depending on
what is required for controlling the auxiliary device) to the auxiliary
device.
• If the relay is used to cut out a boiler in case of alarm, use NC.
(see Fi.g 4)
• For a Beacon that should only be on in case of alarm, use NO.

4. Alternatively, if the auxiliary device is powered from the same
circuit as the relay (i.e. 230VAC), insert a link wire between the L
(Live) terminal and the C (Common) terminal of the relay. Then,
connect either the NC or NO contact of the relay (depending on
what is required) to the auxiliary device. Connect the N (Neutral)
terminal from the relay to the auxiliary device as shown in the

signaling and turning on lights. The OM866RB-10RF is specially
designed to operate with Orca Gen 2 RF devices.
The OM866RB-10RF Pairing Relay Base is powered by the 230V
AC mains and features Lithium backup cells. By default, the relay
operates continuously, meaning it switches on when one of the
smoke alarms detects fire and switches off when the alarm condition
ceases.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
• The installation of mains-powered OM866RB-10RF Pairing Relay
Base should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the relevant local Regulations for Electrical Installations.
Incorrect installation may expose the user to shock or fire hazards
and damage the product. This unit is not waterproof and must not be
exposed to dripping or splashing.
• It is mandatory to incorporate an all-pole mains switch into the
electrical installation of the building.
• For connecting the pattress to Alternative Energy Sources – (Wind,
solar, UPS, etc.) - This product is designed to be connected to a
Pure or True Sine Wave 230V AC supply. If you plan to connect it to
a power source that utilizes an inverter, such as a PV solar panel,
ensure that the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less than 5%. If
you are unsure, please consult the inverter manufacturer. The same
applies to battery-powered UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
inverters.
• The relay base must not be powered from a light dimmer circuit.

4. SET UP LITHIUM BATTERY STATUS FROM "OFF" TO "ON"
1. Turn on the lithium cells by gently sliding the switch to the "ON"
position (see Fig. 2). This switch must be in the 'ON' position to
ensure correct operation.
2. Fit the cover to the module pillars and screw it in place using the
two screws supplied.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
1. BEFORE WIRING THE RF PATTRESS
NOTE: USER IS STRONGLY RECOMMANDED TO READ THE
MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE STEPS IN CHRONOLOGICAL
ORDER TO COMPLETE THE SET UP OF RF RELAY PATTRESS.
Carefully read and follow these instructions:
1. Disengage the mains from the circuit before installing the
apparatus to ensure safety.
2. To prevent injury, securely attach the apparatus to the ceiling or
wall according to the installation instructions. Choose a suitable
mounting position near the mains supply and the device to be
connected to the relay.
Note: Keep the apparatus away from metal surfaces or large metal
objects that may interfere with the RF signal range.
3. If the incoming wiring is on the surface of the wall/ceiling, use
appropriately sized trunking/conduit to mate with the unit. Remove
the material from the knockout with a sharp knife, ensuring that
there is no gap when mated with the trunking/conduit. There is one
suitable surface cabling knockout
Note: the other two surface entries are not recommended as the
wiring will reduce the antenna signal). There is one rear entry
knockout. Refer to Fig.2 for details.
2. WIRING INSTRUCTION
At this point, the OM866RB-10RF module should already been
screwed
to the wall/ceiling and there is a house wires out bringing through it.

2. Check if the green light is on. If the green light is not present,
check if the wires have been connected correctly (see Fig. 2).
Note: The green LED will be on whenever AC power is present.
Switch on the backup battery to ensure that the battery power has
been charged.

6. RF PAIRING SET UP
1. PROGRAM THE RF PAIRING
Find the RF Pairing Button on the RF Relay Pattress.
1.1 Press and hold the RF Pairing switch through the hole in the
cover using a small screwdriver (see figure 1a) until the Red LED
is illuminated. The Red LED Light will stay illuminated for 150
seconds.
1.2 RF Code all other RF Alarms and devices in the network.
Consult the instruction manuals on how to RF Pair the Alarms and
devices. Ensure that each individual Alarm/device is put into RF
network in its final location.

1.3 To complete the commissioning, the RF network must exit RF
Pairing mode.
1.4 The OM866RB-10RF will automatically exit RF Pairing mode
after 150 seconds. To manually exit RF Pairing mode, press the
RF Pairing button again on the OM866RB-10RF one time. The Red
C
LED indicator will lights off and the system will return to standby
(Continuous)
mode.
Note: If some devices continue to flash amber/red, consult their
instruction manual to manually exit RF Pairing mode. Check that
the RF indicators have stopped flashing on all devices.
Note: Once RF network is made, the system will not communicate
with any other RF Alarms and RF devices outside of RF paired
group.
