2. Description

3. About wireless interconnection alarms

1. Welcome

All Honeywell X-Series alarms can be wirelessly interconnected 
using the XW100 plug-in module. This means that if one X-Series 
Carbon Monoxide or smoke or heat alarm triggers an alarm, all 
interconnected units will give an audible alarm as well. This is 
especially useful, when living in a large or multi-story dwelling 
where the alarm may be triggered in another part of the building.

The device includes a wireless module button which is used to 

configure and operate the module, a blue Wireless Module LED 
which signifies various statuses and an antenna.

Interconnecting smoke, heat and Carbon Monoxide alarms is 
essential to provide the earliest possible warning of a danger 

in a building. The sooner occupants are alerted to a fire or the 

presence of Carbon Monoxide, the lower the risk of death or injury. 
Furthermore, the potential for property damage is reduced. Hard 
wired interconnection is expensive, time consuming and disruptive 

and a hard wired system is difficult and expensive to reconfigure 

when circumstances (or standards) change. 

Wireless module XW100 provides a solution for the interconnection 
of Honeywell’s X-Series alarms. Using XW100 module’s wireless 
capabilities, you can easily install your alarm network without the 
need for drilling, disturbing pipes or decor. The smoke alarms, 
heat alarms and Carbon Monoxide alarms are interconnected 
by wireless signals rather than cabling all the X-Series alarms, 
creating a safety system that is simpler, more convenient, and 
easier to change or extend as and when required. XW100 allows all 
the alarms in the network to see each other, allowing for a stronger 
and more responsive network.

As there is no wiring required, it allows a quicker, simpler and 
more cost effective solution to interconnected residential alarm 
installations.

operation

3. Place the wireless module in the cavity on the rear of the alarm, 
ensuring the antenna is on the side with the exposed connectors

4. Fold the antenna between the alarm outer rim and the module 
casing, ensuring it sits beneath the alarm’s outer rim 

5. Once the wireless module has been configured, clip the alarm 

back onto its mounting plate to reactivate it 

Caution: Do not repeatedly insert the wireless module into the host 

alarm as that will weaken the module connectors.
