Procedure for mains wired and interconnected alarm installation
1. 

Plan out and select the appropriate locations for the alarms to be installed following building code or local 
requirements and all workmanship must follow AS/NZS3000.

2. 

Mark out positions and install ceiling plugs and create holes for cabling (diagram 4).

3. 

Isolate power and establish required mains wired circuit to the locations for the alarms and connect to the appropriate 
terminals on the rear of the units. If more than one alarm is used, then the alarms must be interconnected either using 
the link wire on the I-connect terminal or using a wireless module BESMOKEY10WM.  
See section: ‘Introducing Wireless Alarm option into network.’

4. 

Follow wiring shown in diagram 5.

5. 

Insert the battery, remove the yellow tag and close alarm.

Introducing Wireless Alarm Option into the network with the BESMOKEY10WM module
1. 

Prior to installation determine if there is a need for the use of wireless alarms in the network.

2. 

This module can be installed into the BESMOKEY10 by first disconnecting the power and opening one of the mains 
powered alarms and disconnecting the battery, (if yellow tag has already been removed for battery to connect, then 
remove the battery from alarm), replace the blank housing with the BESMOKEY10WM wireless module (diagram 6). 

3. 

The BESMOKEY10WM communicates at 433MHz and can operate at range greater than 60m.

4. 

With the power off select one mains wired alarm to be the master for the wireless link and install the BESMOKEY10WM.  
Caution: Only install one pluggable BESMOKEY10WM module into a group of mains-wired interconnected alarms.  If 
there is more than one installed with wired connections, it will not work.

5. 

Insert the battery, remove the yellow tag and close alarm. The alarm will automatically search for the module after being 
closed. The red LED flashes continuously while the unit checks if the module is installed. 

6. 

If no other alarms are found to pair with, the red LED will extinguish after 8 seconds, and unit will beep 3 times in quick 
succession. The red LED will then flash twice quickly, every 8 seconds. This indicates that while the module has been 
recognized, the unit is not yet paired. 

7. 

If the module was not installed correctly, or otherwise not recognized by the alarm, the red LED will extinguish after 8 
seconds, no beeps will be heard, and the red LED will not flash twice every 8 seconds. 

8. 

Repeat these steps with all alarms to be interconnected. 

9. 

Additional Wireless 10 Year Lithium powered alarms can be added to the network by combining the BESMOKEY10 and 
inserting the BESMOKEY10WM module without wiring to the mains and using the 10 Year Lithium Battery option only.  
These can be paired with the wireless master (Pairing the Alarm, fig 5).

10.  If no wireless alarms are in circuit, jump from Step 3 to 11
11.  Turn ON Mains power 
12.  To test the alarms, press the TEST button for at least 2 seconds. The unit will alarm, and the light will flash for as long as 

the TEST button is pressed. 

 

WARNING: 

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

Pairing the Alarm
1. Press the TEST button of the first alarm 3 times in the space of 2 seconds. The Red LED should remain illuminated. This 
alarm remains the Master. (It is best to use the mains powered alarm as the Master if there is a mix)
2. Move to the next alarm and press the TEST button of this alarm 3 times in the space of 2 seconds. The red LED will 
illuminate briefly, and the unit will give one loud 0.5 second beep. The unit is now paired. 
3. Repeat this process with all remaining alarms to be paired. 
4. Return to the Master (first) alarm. The Red LED should still be illuminated. Press the TEST button for 1 second, to complete 
pairing. 
5. All paired units will have the red light flashing once every 40 seconds (example of network diagram 7). 
6. To run a test, press the alarm button for at least 2 seconds and the alarm will sound and the other interconnected alarms 
should go through their test cycle, with a series of beeps, within a few seconds.
