WIRELESS INDEPENDENT 

SMOKE DETECTOR

«Ladoga PD-RK-A»

Installation Guide

1 General Information

1.1 The wireless independent smoke Detector «Ladoga PD-RK-A» (hereinafter, 

the Detector) is intended for:

- detecting ignitions accompanied by smoke;
- sound announcement about the fire accident;
- «Fire» message generating and sending within the 433.05 to 434.79 MHz 

frequency range via two-way communication by the «Rielta-Сontaсt-R» exchange 
protocol. 

Operating principle of the Detector is based on the detection of the optical 

radiation reflected from smoke particles.

1.2 The Detector is designed for operation as a component of a system, 

that is operated by any control panel (hereinafter, CP) supporting the «Rielta-
Contact-R» wireless exchange protocol or in stand-alone mode without the CP.

1.3 After ignition detection, the Detector generates Fire alarm message and 

transmit’s it to the CP (in case of operation with the CP), switches on light state 

indication and sound announcement.

1.4 In case of operation in independent mode, Norm state restoration and 

sound announcement takes place after smoke content reducing lower the 
threshold.

1.5 In case of operation with a CP, Norm state restoration and sound 

announcement is executed after smoke content reducing lower the threshold 
and getting «RESET» command from the CP.

1.6 In case operation with a CP, the Detector provides possibility to switch 

ON announcement by the relevant command from the CP, as well as to inhibit 
announcement automatic switching ON when ignition is detected.

1.7 The Detector provides pulse and continues modes of sound announcement. 

Mode of operation is configured by means of the CP.

1.8 The Detector provides compensation of the optical smoke chamber dust 

content and controls it’s operability.

1.9 Radio signals exchange with the CP is fulfilled via the wireless two-way 

communication in 433.05 – 434.79 MHz frequency range. The Detector provides 
automatical switch to a backup operating frequency in case of radio-frequency 
interference at the main one.

1.10 Transmitter power does not exceed 10 mW.
1.11 The Detector comprises functionality testing module with speed of 

response not more than 5 s.

1.12 The Detector status is displayed by two built-in LED indicators.

1.13 The Detector controls it’s removal from the base.

1.14 The Detector is powered from two galvanic power supply batteries CR123A 

type with nominal voltage 3 V: the main and backup ones.

1.15 Ignition is detected if at least one battery is in working order.
1.16 During operation in independent mode in case of any battery failure, 

short sound signal is generated once in 40 s.

1.17 The Detector generates and transmits via wireless communication channel 

the following messages:

- «Norm» – normal state;
- «Fire alarm» – ignition is detected;
- «Optical smoke chamber dusting» – upon reaching the dust concentration 

threshold;

- «Failure» – circuit fault or sensitivity drop;
- «Main power-supply low-battery» – if power-supply voltage drops below 

2.4 V ± 0.2;

- «Backup power-supply low-battery» – if power-supply voltage drops below 

2.4 V ± 0.2;

- «Tamper» – in case of the Detector removal from the base.
1.18 The following rates of radio exchange may be assigned: 10 s,  

15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 2 min or 5 min by the command from the CP. Messages  about 
ignition and failures are transmitted immediately.

1.19 The Detector provides safe operation in a standby mode* being powered 

by:

- main power-supply battery: not less than 5 years;
- backup power-supply battery: not less than 2 months.
1.20 The Detector designed to operate  in closed areas  continuously  around 

the clock.
