FW2-SMK
Wireless Smoke & Heat Detector
ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING LTD
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
P/N
INTRODUCTION
The FW2-SMK as a part of the FreeWave wireless security system is an
advanced, fully supervised SMOKE DETECTOR transmitter.
 Photoelectric smoke& heat detector
 State-of-the-art wireless security system.
 Low current Technology.
 Powered by a 3 Volt Lithium battery.
 Battery life: at least 3 years.
 Frequency Band: 916.5 MHz
 Supervision transmission.
 Battery condition signal transmission.
 Tamper protected
 Unique ID number.
Compatible FreeWave receivers are designed to "learn" the specific ID
of FW2-SMK detectors and respond only to them. Alarm and other data
are forwarded to the control panel for specific event indication.
A periodic test transmission for supervision purposes takes place
automatically once in ~7min.
The receiver is informed that the FW2-SMK detector is taking an active
part in the wireless security system.

Smoke - Drift Compensation
The detector automatically compensates for long-term environmentally
induced changes to maintain a constant smoke sensitivity. When the drift
compensation has reached its high or low limit of adjustment, the detector
will go into the trouble state.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal level exceeds
the heat alarm threshold (135°F/57°C); and will automatically restore
when the heat signal level falls bellow the heat alarm threshold (restore).
Tamper
The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a "tamper"
transmission. The tamper condition is restored after the detector is
mounted on the plate.
WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential
unit only, which means that it should be used inside a single-family home
or apartment. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas outside the
individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide
early warning to residents
WARNING: This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert
people who are hard of hearing.
WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA
Standard 74. For complete coverage in residential units, smoke
detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas,
basements and attics in each family living unit. Minimum coverage is
one detector on each floor and one in each sleeping area. Here are a
few useful tips for you:
o Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate
bedroom area.
Two detectors are required in homes with two bedroom areas.
o Install a smoke detector on every floor of multi-floor home or
apartment.
o Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
o Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
o Install smoke detectors at both ends of bedroom hallway if the
hallway is more than 12m (40ft) long.
o 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.
o Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
o Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor
stairwell.
o Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the
detector.
o Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family
room, attic, utility and storage rooms.
o 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.
o If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between 10-15
cm (4 - 6 inches) from the ceiling.
o If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to
mount detectors 0.9 m (3 feet) measured horizontally from the highest
point of the ceiling.
