INTRODUCTION
The FW2-Smoke detector is an advanced, fully
supervised low-current wireless detector that
includes a FW2 transceiver for reliable system
operation.
The FW2-Smoke detector includes special
chamber structure for best smoke detection
performances.
The FW2-Smoke detector uses smart message
control, which verifies that all messages are
successfully transmitted, so that no smoke or any
other event will be uninformed to the base.
The FW2-Smoke detector includes series of
messages for full communication administration
(Supervision, Tamper Status, Battery Status, Alert,
etc.) as well as test transmission signals.

OPERATION
This FW2-Smoke detector transmits the
following events data:
SUPERVISION
– A periodical transmission
(configurable)
indicating detector’s presence.
ALARM
– Alarm transmission triggered by the
device indicating Smoke detection. The Red LED
will blink once.
LOW BAT
– Whenever the battery reaches the
low level (2.5V), a Battery Low signal will be sent.
When Battery level drops below Cut Off level
(2.3V) the device will stop functioning and the Red
LED will blik for 10 seconds and then turned Off.
TAMPER
– Whenever the cover is removed from
Bracket or the device is tear off from the celling, a
message will be transmitted with “Tamper ON”
signal. When the device will be returned to its
place a
“Tamper OFF” signal will be transmitted.
INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
Smoke detectors shall be installed in accordance
with NFPA Standard 74. Here are few useful tips
for complete coverage in residential units:
Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside
every separate bedroom area. Two detectors
are required in homes with two bedroom areas.
Install a smoke detector on every floor of multi-
floor home or apartment.
Install a minimum of two detectors in any
household.
Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
Install smoke detectors at both ends of bedroom
hallway if hallway is more than 12m (40ft) long.
Install a smoke detector inside every room where
one sleeps with the door partly or completely
closed, since smoke could be blocked by the
closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake
up the sleeper if the door is closed.
Install basement detectors at the bottom of the
basement stairwell.
INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
(Continue)
Install second-floor detectors at the top of the
first-to-second floor stairwell.
Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the
path of smoke to the detector.
Install additional detectors in your living room,
dining, family, attic, utility and storage rooms.
Install smoke detectors as close to the center of
the ceiling as possible. If this is not practical, put
the detector on the ceiling, at least 10 cm (4 inch)
away from any wall or corner.
If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall
mounting is permitted by your local and state
codes, the wall-mounted detectors shall be
installed between 10cm to 15cm (4 - 6 inches)
from the ceiling.
If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or
gabled ceilings, try to mount detectors 0.9 m
(3feet) measured horizontally from the highest
point of the ceiling.

WRONG INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
False alarms occur when smoke detectors are
installed where they will not work properly. To
avoid false alarms, do not install smoke detectors
in the following situations:
Combustion particles are by-products of
something burning. Do not install smoke
detectors in or near areas where combustion
particles are present, such as kitchens with poor
ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle
exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters and
space heaters.
Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 m (20
feet) away from places where combustion
particles are normally present. If a 6 m (20 feet)
distance is not possible try to install the detector
as far away from the combustion particles as
possible, preferably on the wall. To prevent false
alarms, provide good ventilation in such places.
WRONG INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
The path of fresh air intake. The flow of fresh
air in and out can drive smoke away from the
smoke detector; thus reducing its efficiency.
In damp or very humid areas or near
bathrooms with showers. Moisture in humid air
can enter the sensing chamber, then turns into
droplets upon cooling, which can cause
nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at
least 3 m (10 feet) away from bathrooms.
In very cold or very hot areas, including
unheated buildings or outdoor rooms. If the
temperature goes above or below the operating
range of smoke detector, it will not work
properly.
In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can
build up on the detector’s sensing chamber, to
make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt
can block openings to the sensing chamber
and keep the detector from sensing smoke.
WRONG INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air
conditioners, heaters or fans. Fresh air vents
and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke
detectors.
In “Dead Air” spaces like at the top of a peaked
roof, or in the corners between ceilings and
walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from
reaching a detector.
In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a
detector’s sensing chamber, they may cause a
nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get
rid of them before installing the detector.
Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from
fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms.
Install smoke detectors at least 1.5 m (5 feet)
from such lights.

PAIRING PROCESS
1. Separate the Smoke from its bracket by
rotating the device counterclock wise.
2. If not done so before, shortly press the Pairing
button to power up the device. This activity
shall be done only once during the product life
time.
3. Wait until the Red LEDs stops blinking.
4. Refer to your control panel manual for learning
mode procedure.
5. When registration process is successfully
completed the Green LEDs will
constantly light On for 3 seconds and
then turn Off.
6. If registration process failed the Red
LEDs will blink. wait for few seconds
(~10sec) and repeate the pairing process
from step 4 above.
TESTING THE DEVICE
ALARM TEST
Press shortly the "Test" button (See Figure 4) -
the smoke detector shall respond with "Bip-Bip-
Bip" sound, indicating that the device is in the
normal mode. If the test fails, stop using the
detector immediately.
WARNING
D
ON’T TEST IT WITH FIRE !!!
TAMPER TRANSMISSION TEST
Attaching / Removing the device to / from its
bracket will cause tamper transmissions. Verify
receiving the indication on your Application / Base.
IDENTIFICATION TRANSMISSION TEST
Use your Application / Base to send
Identification Request to the Smoke. The
Smoke will blinking the Green & Red LEDs
alternately
– 5 times.
