DESCRIPTION

The 2GIG-SMKT2-345 is a photoelectric smoke alarm with a built-in transmitter

designed for use with the 2GIG-CNTRL-345 security system. When smoke is

detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local

alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to

the Control Panel. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as

long as smoke is still present.

In addition to the photoelectric detector, the unit contains an integrated ﬁ xed

135° temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor that will send an alarm signal

based on temperature detected.

BUILT-IN WIRELESS TRANSMITTER

The smoke alarm can send three different wireless signals to the alarm Control

Panel: alarm, low battery, and status.

Every hour, the smoke alarm sends a status transmission to the Control Panel.

The hourly signal updates the Control Panel with the smoke alarm’s condition.

By monitoring status transmissions, the Control Panel can determine that the

smoke alarm is still operational in the installation and if it has a low battery.

The Control Panel must be programmed to the transmitter’s serial

number before system testing and operation. Refer to the Control Panel’s

instructions for details on programming.

INSTALLATION

1. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the unit to unsnap it and

lift it off. See Figure 2.

2. Observing proper polarity, insert the two 3V lithium batteries supplied into

the alarm battery compartment and replace the battery cover.

3. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the unit.

4. Refer to Page 3 for selecting a proper location for the smoke alarm.

5. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount the base.

6. Attach the unit to the base as follows:

• Line up the raised alignment tab on the lip of the unit with the alignment

arrow on the base. See Figure 3.

• Insert the unit into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15

degrees. It should snap ﬁ rmly into place.

• IMPORTANT: The unit cannot be attached to the base if no batteries

are installed.

PROGRAM SMOKE ALARM INTO THE CONTROL PANEL

Before testing the smoke alarm, the internal wireless transmitter must be

programmed into the Control Panel.

1. Refer to the Control Panel’s instructions to prepare the receiver to accept

the smoke alarm’s serial number.

2. Press the smoke alarm’s TEST/SILENCE button for 4 seconds. The

smoke alarm will perform a sounder test, a sensitivity test, and send a

test signal to the Control Panel.

3. Verify that the signal was received by the Control Panel and that the

sensor was entered into the system.

4. Exit Control Panel programming before testing the smoke alarm.

SMOKE TEST

Units should be tested in place annually using one of the following methods:

A. Use Smoke! in a can

and follow directions on the can.

B. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the unit and gently direct

the smoke into the smoke entry openings for 20 seconds or until an alarm

is indicated.

The smoke alarm LED should stay on and the sounder should emit a temporal

three pattern, and an alarm should be indicated at the Control Panel. Disarm

the system to reset the Control Panel alarm. Be sure to extinguish the

smoke source after testing!

SILENCE THE ALARM

Press the TEST/SILENCE button to silence the sounder during an alarm. After

a few minutes, the sounder and alarm resume if smoke is still present.

WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS BE PREPARED Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions. No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Smoke alarms require a source of power to work. This smoke alarm will not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly. Smoke alarms may not be heard.
