The XW100 wireless module allows a smoke or heat alarm or Carbon
Monoxide alarm that senses a hazardous condition to alert all other
alarms on its network, making occupants aware of an alarm in
another part of the building and allowing them time to evacuate.
Configuration
Before operation, please follow these preliminary steps:
1. Insert the wireless module in the alarm unit, this will activate the
module. Follow the instructions in ‘Installation’ section
2. Briefly press the wireless module button
The blue LED will emit either:
- a short flash
the module must be configured to join a network
(see below), or
- a sequence of flashes (see note 1 on page 10)
it is already
configured to work in a network, this indicates the module is active.
Caution: The blue wireless module LED is visible on the front cover of
the alarm, so should not be confused with an alarm LED.
If your XW100 wireless module must be configured; remove the host
alarm rear cover (if fitted) to access the module.
Creating a new network
To create a new network, press the button on the front of each alarm
twice (when the wireless module is not in a configured state). The
blue wireless module LED on the front of the alarm will blink, refer to
Section 2 ‘Description’ for LED location.
During the network creation, the blue LED on the front of each alarm
will flash every three seconds to indicate how many modules are
5. XW100 wireless module operation
present in the network (see note 1). The XC100D LCD display, provided
that the alarm has been activated, will also display the antenna icon
and the number of paired modules in the network.
Please note the maximum number of devices that can join a network
is 32. When the number of flashes on each unit indicates the correct
number of modules present in the network, the configuration session
can be completed. To complete the process, either:
a. Press the wireless module button for three seconds or
b. Press the alarm button (provided that the alarm has been turned
on for more than 30 seconds, see also note 2)
If the configuration session is not stopped by the user, the units will
automatically stop the session after one hour from the beginning of
the process.
End of a configuration session is confirmed by the wireless module
LED blinking rapidly for 1 second. When a wireless module is
configured, and turned on, it automatically enters normal operating
mode.
Be aware that, in case a wireless module is turned off during the
network creation (e.g. by removing it from the alarm), the pairing
session must be restarted for the relevant device. Press the wireless
module button for three seconds to restart the procedure.
Note 1: Every long (half second) flash corresponds to 5
modules. Every short flash corresponds to 1 module.
Note 2: For CO alarms with Software 1.5 you may need to wait
up to 10 minutes before performing this test (Software version
is printed on the back of the alarm housing).
Should any module receive messages from another network, it
is sufficient to rebuild the network again, as described in section
‘Rebuilding a network’.
Expanding an existing network
If you are expanding a network with a new XW100 module, press the
wireless module button three times on both the new XW100 module
and a module already in the network.
If you are adding a XW100 module that has previously been in
a network, ensure all configuration data from that network is
removed from the module. Refer to section ‘Removing a module
from the network’ for how to remove configuration data. Once the
configuration data is erased, press the wireless module button three
times on both the new XW100 module and a module already in the
network.
When the number of flashes on each configured alarm indicates the
correct number of modules present in the network, the configuration
session can be completed as above.
Operation
Briefly press the wireless module button to see how many wireless
modules are present in the network. The LED will emit a sequence
of flashes indicating the number of modules present in the network
(see note 1). This confirms the wireless module is in normal
operating mode.
During normal operation, if the wireless module button is pressed
on one of the wireless modules, all the modules within the network
emit a sequence of LED flashes indicating the number of paired
modules. This indicates that all wireless modules are communicating
successfully with each other in the network. If the alarm button is
pressed (see note 2) on the smoke or Carbon Monoxide alarm, the
wireless module LED will flash indicating that it is communicating
with its host alarm.
When an interconnected alarm is in fault or alarm, all the
interconnected alarms will chirp. The alarm in fault or has detected
a threat will chirp and flash. Only the alarm that is in fault or
detected the threat can be silenced, silencing the interconnected
alarms.
Removing a module from the network
If you need to remove a module from a network, or reconfigure it, press
the wireless module button for five seconds, provided the module is in
normal operating mode.
The LED on the wireless module will blink rapidly for 5 seconds and
inform all interconnected modules it has left the network. This is
confirmed by each modules blue LED’s flashing for about 30 seconds.
Once the LED has stopped flashing, the module can be added to a new
network, as described in section ‘Expaning the existing network’.
Rebuilding a network
If a faulty XW100 module leaves a network, the network might still
recognise it as active. If it does, the network will need to be rebuilt.
Press the wireless module button for ten seconds on any module in
the network, provided the module is in normal operating mode. The
wireless module will then send a rebuild command to other modules
in the network. This is confirmed by each modules LED’s flashing for
ten seconds. A new network creation will then start automatically and
will need to be completed once the correct number of alarms in the
network has been recognised by each alarm’s LED flashes. Refer to
section ‘Creating a new network’ for how to complete the process.
Your alarm is a life saving device and should be tested regularly.
To test your alarm, refer to the product’s manual. To test the
XW100, follow the instructions in the ‘Testing your wireless
module’ section.
The wireless module conforms to the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive; Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC); Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACh) regulation; Radio and Telecommunications
Terminal Equipment (R&TTE); directive and Radio Equipment
Directive (RED). These declarations of conformity are available for
download from homesafety.honeywell.com.
6. XW100 Precaution during use
To test your XW100 wireless module, press the test/hush button
of the alarm in which the wireless module is situated for 18
seconds. Once the alarm has completed its alarm test cycles,
it enters a Remote Test state comprising 1 red LED flash with
a chirp every 6 seconds. This is repeated by all interconnected
alarms, enabling each connected alarm to be checked at the
same time. Pressing the same test/hush button again returns all
the alarms back to normal operating mode. Alternatively, if the
test/hush button isn’t pressed, units return to a normal operating
mode after 10 minutes.
