7. Activation and Wireless Alarm Network
Upon initial power being applied (from rotating onto mounting plate or moving the red activation wheel to the
“ON” position - see Figure 7.1-B) these units are ready to connect to a network.
note:
At any time during wireless alarm setup, if you have a problem, you can push and hold the Test/Hush
button on any problem unit until you hear three (3) beeps (approx 8 sec), and then release the button. The unit
will reset the unit’s wireless settings (described in Section 7.3). Once wireless settings are reset, the unit will
prompt the user to follow Quickstart instructions.
note:
Wireless units will emit a series of LED blinks, tones, and voices as the unit(s) search for a wireless alarm
setup. If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these notifications, and
the wireless function will eventually turn off. You can turn the wireless function on again at a later date if desired.
See Section 7.2.
note:
The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can
only be discharged at the end of product life. If the alarm is removed from the mounting plate, the battery will
remain active. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section.
Wireless
These models have wireless alarm interconnect capability. When one interconnected unit sounds an alarm, all other
compatible wireless units in the wireless alarm network will alarm. These alarms connect to each other wirelessly
via communication on the 915-928 MHz band.
•
A maximum of 24 Quell Safety devices may be interconnected. The interconnect system should not exceed
the following individual limits: 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, CO, Smoke/ CO Combination,
heat, etc.) and/or 6 remote signaling devices and / or relay modules.
•
Maximum distance between wireless interconnect models is greater than 100 meters in open air.
