SA-61 Wireless Smoke Detector Installation Manual 1. Introduction September 2012 The SA-61 is a battery-operated Wireless Smoke Detector. Figure 1: SA-61 It is available in two frequencies:
433.92 MHz or 868.35 MHz. base unit (AS-60) for cleaning and maintenance purposes. The smoke sensor unit can easily be plugged into or detached from the wireless A mechanical key on the sensor is designed to avoid mismatching or incorrect installation of the sensor and base. The sensor chamber is engineered to sense smoke from a wide range of combustion sources. The chamber is well protected from insects and dust contamination. A LED indicator on the sensor unit shows the operating status and Alarm mode, while an RF LED is located in the base unit and indicates RF transmissions, such as alarms and tamper. The SA-61 smoke detector has a low profile, as well as a professional and trendy appearance.

Installation 3.1 A smoke detector should be installed according to NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standard 72. For complete coverage in residential units, smoke detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, and basements. At the least, one detector should be placed on each floor and in each sleeping area. Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible or at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from any wall or corner. Do NOT locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke. Avoid areas with turbulent air flow such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit and affected the accuracy. 2.4 Modes of Operation Normal Mode Signaling and Events Alarm Mode Low Battery Mode 2.5 Tamper Event Signaling Type Report Types The indicated LED flashes once every 344 seconds
(to save battery life) to show it is working. The detector goes into Alarm mode if it detects smoke. In Alarm mode, the indicated LED and the RF LED quickly flashes and the Piezoelectric sounder is activated. When the battery voltage is low, the detector beeps every 43 seconds. When the sensor is disconnected from the base or the base unit from the ceiling. Red LED on detector, red LED in base unit Alarm, Tamper, Low Battery Alarm Report:
Alarm event is no longer sent after 30 min or Every 20 seconds during first 3 min Every 3 min from 3 min till 30 min immediately upon Alarm Restore (When the am-
bient environment somke concetration is lower than the alarm level for a zone) 3.2 Smoke Detector Limitations Smoke detectors will not sense a fire if the smoke does not reach the sensor. Smoke detectors may not be heard. Be sure to locate the smoke detector within hearing distance. Smoke from a slow fire rises slowly and may not reach the smoke detector until the fire gets bigger. To keep your smoke detectors working properly, be sure to maintain the unit according to manufacturers recommendations and UL and NFPA standards. 1 Disassembly 3.3 The unit arrives assembled, so you must disassemble the unit into its three pieces before you can mount it. To disassemble:
1. Turn the sensor counter-clockwise to the Loose position as shown in Figure 2 and gently remove the sensor. Figure 2: Loose and Lock Positions 2. Gently separate the top part of the base unit from the lower part. 3.4 Mounting the Base Unit The AS-60 base unit provides different punch out options for different gang box standards for mounting to 3 1/2-inch and 4-inch octagonal, single-gang, and 4-inch square back boxes (Figure 3). Figure 3: Punch Out Options for Various Gang Box Standards To mount the base unit:
1. Mark two mounting points in the wall. 2. Drill into the marked points and insert wall plugs/gang box. 3. Screw and fix the base unit. Inserting the Battery 3.5 The battery compartment is designed to meet UL requirement. A lever has been inserted to avoid attaching the sensor unit without the battery being inserted. To insert the battery:
1. Load the battery into the base compartment as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Battery Installation Assembly 3.6 Once you have mounted the base unit and inserted the battery, you are ready to close the unit. To assemble the unit:
1. Replace the top part of the base unit with its bottom part that has been mounted by lining up the two lines as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: Base Cover Insertion 2. Attach the sensor unit onto the base unit as shown in Figure 6 and turn the sensor clockwise to the Lock position (Figure 2). Figure 6: Sensor Insertion 2 4. Testing General Testing Once the detector is installed, you should test the unit. 4.1 To test the unit:
1. Press and hold the Test button on the sensor. The following occurs:
Both LEDs flash quickly The Piezoelectric sounder is activated The smoke detector transmits an alarm to the wireless alarm panel Release the Test button to return to Normal mode. Cleaning 5. Maintenance 5.1 The unit runs a self-check for cleanliness every 43 seconds. If three consecutive tests fail, the unit beeps three times every 43 seconds. To clean the unit, pass a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment gently over the front frilled sections and the sides of the smoke detector. RF Testing 4.2 To test the RF connection:
1. Remove the sensor. 2. Remove the top cover of the base unit. 3. Press the S3 button (Figure 7) for more than 5 seconds. Figure 7: S3 Button The unit sends 10 RF messages to the system every four seconds and then returns to Normal mode Battery Replacement 5.2 When the detectors battery is low, the detector beeps once every 43 seconds. If the detector is connected to a wireless security network, it sends a low battery warning message. The smoke detector continues to operate with a low battery for at least 7 days. Replace the battery when a low battery is indicated. 6. FCC Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
