GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RISCO Group’s RWX34S Wireless Smoke and Heat Detector combines advanced
technologies within a compact and streamlined design, the ideal choice for
homeowners seeking the highest safety standards.
Smoke is detected employing an advanced photoelectric chamber, while
temperature is monitored with two separate heat sensors that measure the rate-of-
rise, as well as the absolute temperature. With a choice of selecting either smoke or
heat detection or a combination the two, the Smoke and Heat Detector offers a
more sensitive and dependable product for early detection of fire hazards in
different environments with a reduced risk of false alarms.
The Smoke Detector is EN14604:2005/AC:2008 certified, easy to install, and is
compatible with all RISCO Group’s 1 and 2-way wireless systems.

WARNINGS:
This smoke and heat detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which means that
it should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies,
hallways, basements, or another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already
working detectors in each family unit. Smoke and heat detectors placed in common areas outside
of the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early warning to
residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit should set up its own detectors.
This detector is not to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or commercial
buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm
systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems for
places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories,
hospitals; nursing homes or group homes of any kind, even if they were once single-family homes.
Please refer NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke
and heat detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as “households”.
