6. Activation and RF Interlink Network
This model is capable of interlinking with other PSA 6000DCW alarms in domestic residential
applications. When one RF interlink unit sounds an alarm, all other compatible RF units in the RF
interlink network will alarm. Follow the steps in section 6.1 to interlink up to 24 units in your interlink
network. If you have problems during setup, see section 6.3 to start over.
NOTE : Wireless units will emit a series of LED flashes and beeps as the unit(s) search for an RF
interlink network. If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these
notifications, and the wireless function will eventually turn off. You can turn the wireless function on
again at a later date if desired. See Section 6.2.
NOTE : The battery is switched ON when the smoke alarm is installed onto its mounting plate; and
turned OFF when the device is removed from its bracket. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge
Battery section13.

General Reset mode:
Resets a unit to when it was powered on for the first time after being removed from the

6.1 Setting Up an RF Interlink Network
For easy first time setup, we recommend unpacking all the units together on a table. If you prefer
to install the alarms on the ceiling before setting up the wireless network, then first attach all the
mounting brackets to the ceiling. Next, choose the most centrally located unit and begin with Step 2
below.
