CAUTION!!

Ÿ

Batteries should be protected from excessive heat, such as direct light beams or fire.

Ÿ

Consult the manufacturer's advice if the device doesn't work properly.

Ÿ

Do not charge batteries

Ÿ

Do not mix new and used batteries or batteries of different types or brands

The BS-506/WL is a

alarm with an optical sensor. It 

 wireless interconnect battery operated smoke 

 

has the ability to connect wirelessly without the need of additional equipment to create a network 
of smoke alarms. Before installation, always consult local regulations for smoke alarms

 

.

Ÿ

To  prevent  injury,  the  device  must  be  securely  attached  to  the  ceiling  in  accordance  with  the 
installation instructions.

Ÿ

Do not install the 

alarm in leisure accommodation vehicles

Ÿ

Do not paint or cover the smoke alarm.

Ÿ

Do not install the 

alarm in direct sunlight. Keep at least 0.5m from light sources.

Due to the loudness of the alarm, make sure that you always stand at arm's length distance from 
the unit when you are testing.

Device Test (Local)

Ÿ

Clean the battery contacts and also those of the equipment prior to battery installation

Wireless communication allows to perform device test for all smoke alarms of a network by giving 
command  from  one  device  only.  To  start  the  test,  long  press  the  test  button  from  any  network 
smoke alarm once. This smoke alarm performs a check such as described in the section "Device Test 
(local)"  and  transmits  the  test  command  to  all  smoke  alarms.  The  network  smoke  alarms  will 
perform the test and produce a loud sound (not necessarily at the same time).

Manual Battery Test

You can test the battery level by pressing the test button 2 short times. The number of flashes that 
will follow, will show the battery level according to indication table on page 4.

Ÿ

Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and properly disposed of

The BS-506/WL provides wireless signal strength test with power level indication. First, perform the 
"Remote Device Test" function on the neighboring smoke alarm on the same network. Then on the 
smoke alarm under test, press the test key 1-time momentarily and 1-time long press. The number 
of  flashes  of  the  green  LED  that  will  follow  represents  the  signal  strength  level  of  the 
communication between them, according to the indication table on page 4.

Ÿ

Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.

Ÿ

Ensure that the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –)

Store unused batteries in their original packaging away from metal objects. If already unpacked, 
do not mix or jumble batteries

If the battery's level is low, the siren will sound as a short pulse every minute, it will continue until 
the batteries are replaced. The sound of the battery low level can be muted by pressing the TEST 
Button briefly. The Red LED will turn on to indicate the low battery condition. After the TEST button 
is released, the unit enters in Low Battery Hush mode and the device is silenced for 8 hours. After 8 
hours, the audible indication will resume. The activation of the TEST button will also initiate the 9 
minutes Hush mode.

Ÿ

Do not dismantle batteries

Ÿ

Remove exhausted batteries promptly

The device is checked by briefly pressing the test button. If the device works properly, it will produce 
a loud sound. When the sound stops, the device will enter hush mode. After 9 minutes it returns to 
normal operation.

Ÿ

Do not deform batteries

When the network smoke alarms are in an alarm state, a device may issue a hush command to all of them; To 
activate the hush command to the entire network, long press the test button from any smoke alarm.

Smoke  alarms  with  factory  default  settings  do  not  belong  to  a  private  network  and  communicate  with  all 
smoke  alarms  that  also  retain  their  factory  settings.

 

It  is  possible  to  group  them  into  networks  of  smoke 

alarms that communicate with each other, preventing the interaction of smoke alarms belonging to different 
locations only. Refer to the 'Network Installation Guide' section.

Alarm mode

Alarm Memory

When  the  device  is  in  alarm  mode,  Hush  can  be  initiated  with  1  short  press  of  the  test  button.  Hush  is 
activated  and  the  siren  is  silenced.  The  duration  of  Hush  is  9  minutes  and  the  Red  LED  flashes  faster. 
Afterward, the device returns to normal operation. While in Hush, the sensitivity of the device is reduced 
and  a  higher  concentration  of  smoke  is  required  to  put  it  back  on  alarm.  It  is  possible  to  cancel  the  Hush 
mode by repeating the short press of the test button. 

If a smoke alarm detects smoke, it immediately goes into alarm mode. In addition, it transmits the alarm signal 
to the other smoke alarms in the network, where they go into remote alarm mode. When the original smoke 
alarm ceases to detect smoke, it shall transmit an end-of-alarm signal and the remaining smoke alarms will 
return to the quiescent state. During an alarm, the user can silence the devices with the 'Hush' and 'Remote 
Hush' functions.

Hush mode

Remote Hush

Note:

 If a smoke alarm in hush mode detects the presence of smoke in an ultra-high concentration, then the 

entire network will return to alarm mode.

The Alarm Memory allows easy identification of any unit that had previously been in Alarm. When a smoke 
alarm exits an Alarm mode, the Yellow LED flashes three times and this pattern repeats every minute. This 
visual indication will stop after 24 hours. The user will still be able to identify a unit that had previously been 
in Alarm, by pressing the TEST button. The horn will sound in short pulses and the Alarm memory will reset. 
The initial 24 hour visual indication is not displayed when a low battery condition exists.

Fault Warning

When the smoke alarm is not functioning properly, it will turn into the Fault warning mode and will produce 
three  short  acoustic  signals  every  minute.  Try  cleaning  the  smoke  alarm  (see  paragraph  maintenance) 
otherwise replace it!

Network Installation Guide

2. 

On the central device, press the test button 2 times momentarily and the 3rd time long. When you release 

it, the green LED will flash, indicating that the installation process has started.

3.

 On the peripheral device press the test button momentarily 3 times, you will notice rapid flashes of the 

green LED that will stop when it is installed on the network. For each new device that is installed, you will 
observe a prolonged flash of the green LED on the central device .

4. 

 Repeat step 3 for each peripheral device you want to install on the network.

5. 

  When  all  devices  are  installed,  wait  for  the  central  device  to  stop  flashing  the  green  LED.  Perform  a 

network check as described in the "Remote Device Test" section. If all devices respond then your network 
has been successfully created. Otherwise, see the "Troubleshooting" section.

The function is provided in case where the network settings on a smoke alarm need to be initialized.

1. Remove one of the two batteries.
2. Press and hold the 

test 

button.

4. Wait five seconds and release the button. The green led 

flash rapidly 

four times.

1. 

Make sure that the smoke alarms have their batteries installed correctly. Consider a smoke alarm to be 

the  central  network  installation  device.  The  peripheral  devices  must  be  installed  one  by  one  on  the 
network of the main one.

6. 

 You can add new peripheral devices to the host device network in the future by repeating steps 2 to 5. For 

this purpose it is recommended that you have noted the central device.

3. With the button 

pressed

, replace the battery you removed.

Reset to factory settings

This  may  be  desirable  when  you  want  to  install  a  smoke  alarm  on  another  network  or  when  you  want  to 
change the role of a device, e.g. from a peripheral device to a host device or vice versa.

Test  the  smoke  alarm  weekly  for  correct  operation  by  using  the  Device  Test  facility.  If  the  smoke  alarm 

functions correctly, it will generate a loud beep otherwise must be replaced immediately! 

Clean the smoke alarm once per month to remove dirt, dust or debris.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and clean all sides and covers of the smoke alarm. Do not remove 

the top cover of the smoke alarm to clean it inside.

Do not attempt to repair this smoke alarm. If the smoke alarm shows a damage it must be replaced!

In accordance with EN14604 standard, is recommended to replace the device after 10 years of operation.
