PREPARING AND PROGRAMMING
Important: The ORIGO SA422WS smoke alarms are equipped with transmitters and receivers, so
they can communicate with each other. For this function to work, the smoke alarms must be pro-
grammed to link up.
WIRELESS TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER
»
Radio frequency: 433 MHz
»
RF receiver: < 5 mA
»
RF receiver: < 10 mA
»
Range: > 20 metres
IMPORTANT:
The signal range may vary depen-
ding on position, the design of the building and
its materials. Make sure that all the installed
smoke alarms are within signal range.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
Smoke alarms emit a loud audible signal. We
recommend that you always use earplugs or other
hearing protection when programming and testing
your smoke alarms.
FITTING THE BATTERIES AND TESTING EACH SMOKE ALARM
Twist off the smoke alarm’s mounting plate and install 2 x AA/ LR6 batteries. Make sure you have the
right po/- . Test each smoke alarm by pressing the test button for around 5 seconds. The alarm
should emit three short audible signals with around 1.5 seconds between them. Then release the test
button. Repeat with all the smoke alarms that are being installed.
PROGRAMMING THE SMOKE ALARMS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER
Choose one of the smoke alarms as the main unit and mark it with an M on the back, so you know which
one it is later on. The main unit is used to send the radio code to the other alarms, so they all connect up.
1. Press the main unit’s test button for around 12 seconds, until the LED light stays on continuously. The
main unit is now in programming mode and ready to transmit the radio code to the other alarms. The
main unit remains in programming mode for around 30 seconds, before returning to normal mode.
2. While the main unit is in programming mode, take the slave unit and press the test button for around
1 second, until the LED light begins to flash. Then release the button. Both the main unit and the slave
unit’s LED lights should now flash quickly for 2 seconds. This shows that the two are connected.
3. Repeat step 2 with all the slave units that are being connected to the same system.
DELETING THE PROGRAMMING (Re-setting)
1. Press and hold in the test button for around 16 seconds, until the LED light begins to flash quickly.
Then release the button.
2. Once the LED light is lit, quickly press the test button twice. If re-setting is successful, the smoke alarm
will give out a short audible signal.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with all the units that need re-setting.
WARNING: There are a number of factors that could interfere with the wireless communication. You
should therefore test the smoke alarms every week to check that the units are communicating properly.
