8

mounted horizontally on the ceiling in centered position with
a minimum distance of 0.5m to walls and objects. On slanted
ceilings >20° it is to be mounted 0.5m to 1m from the top of
the ceiling. (2.A), (2.B), (2.C), (2.D)

2. Connecting devices, page 10. For testing the network,
position the devices near to the determined mounting
locations: Testing the network, page 10. If necessary switch
the repeater function on for one device, see Repeater
function, page 11.

3. For each device: Mounting the base. (5) Observe the mark
(5.2) for adjusting the emergency light and the marks (5.1)
for alignment with BOSCH label/siren.

4. Functional check, page 12, for each device after setting it up
into operation. (6) (7)

Unsuitable locations for mounting

– Kitchen/bathroom (steam)
– Rooms with open fireplaces (fumes)
– In the immediate vicinity of halogen lamps, transformers,

fluorescent or energy-saving lamps

– Garages (exhaust fumes)
– Dusty and dirty rooms
– In the vicinity of windows, ventilators (air movement)
– In the vicinity of areas where people smoke

Audibility

You must hear an alarm at any place in your building or flat. The
alarm really has to wake you up. If necessary adapt the number of
the devices for achieving audibility in your whole building or flat.

08.15 | 2.1 | F.01U.309.850 Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

Wireless Smoke Alarm Graphics | en 9

Mounting the base

Mount the base with one central screw and plug. (5.A) Or
optionally use two screws and plugs. (5.B) To set the device into
operation you screw the detector head to its base by twisting it
clockwise until it latches. (6)

4 Radio Network

Up to 40 FERION 5000 OW can be interconnected to create a
network. Thus, an alarm is raised at all devices giving the chance
to react faster to a distant fire. Before mounting to the ceiling,
position the devices you want to connect next to each other.
Leave a minimum distance of 1 m in between.

Notice!

FERION 5000 OW is not compatible with FERION 3000
OW. Both types cannot be integrated in one network.

Notice!

Hereby, Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH declares that
the radio equipment type FERION 5000 OW is in
compliance with Directive 1999/5/EC and is designed
for the use in all countries of the European Union. The
full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available
at the following internet address:
www.boschsecurity.com/ferion/

Attentively read the following instructions before programming.

Connecting devices

If the device which you want to connect was not in use before
proceed with step 1. If the device which you want to connect was
already in use, disassemble head and base. Then press and hold
the button for about 4 s to clear for installation. If it was already
element of a network, then reset it first, see Disconnecting a
device (Reset), page 12.

1. Both devices must be in operation (head and base
assembled) and in normal mode (no optical signal).

2. For both devices, press and hold the button for about 4 s
until both devices flash orange (connecting). -> After a short
delay the devices light up green (connecting successful) or
red (connecting failed).

To connect a further device, repeat the procedure for one device
of the existing network and the unprogrammed device. (Up to 40
devices can be interconnected.)
Once you have connected all devices and the devices are in
normal mode again (no optical signal), test the network.

Testing the network

In addition to the Functional check, page 12 (7), for each device,
test the network:

1. Select the device that has to cover the longest distance to
connected devices. To send a radio test signal, press and
hold the button for about 4 s until the LED flashes orange
(connecting).

2. Press and release the button (< 2 s).

08.15 | 2.1 | F.01U.309.850 Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

Wireless Smoke Alarm Graphics | en 11

After short delay all devices in the network flash green 5 min (no
audible signal). If not, the connecting procedure failed or the
distance between the connected devices is too large (the
connected devices cannot reach each other). To extend the
operating range switch the repeater function on.
To stop the flashing earlier you press and hold the button for
about 10 s.

Notice!

The radio signal transmission can be obstructed due to
buildings or vegetation, walls, ceilings, radio frequency
interference. Significant inhibition of the wireless
signal results from the vicinity of solid steel beams,
large metal surfaces, or similar. The device does not
automatically indicate a reduced operating range or
loss of network connection.

Repeater function

If the network test has shown that not all devices can be
reached, then select the last reachable device and switch its
repeater function on to extend its operating range. One device in
the network can be configured as a repeater to cover long
distances. (1) See also www.boschsecurity.com/ferion/.

1. If the device is in normal mode (no optical signal) press and
hold the button for about 4 s until LED flashes orange
(connecting).

Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH 08.15 | 2.1 | F.01U.309.850

12 en | Graphics Wireless Smoke Alarm

2. Press and hold the button for about 4 s. -> The LED lights up
red (repeater function off) or green (repeater function on) for
30 s. To change the mode of the repeater function press and
release the button (< 2 s). -> LED changes the color promptly.
After 30 s the device will switch to normal mode again.

Adding devices to an existing network

Perform Connecting devices, page 10 for one device of the
existing network and the unprogrammed device. (Up to 40
devices can be interconnected.)

Disconnecting a device (Reset)

For disconnecting a device you restore the factory settings. The
device will continue to work, but it will not be connected any
longer with other devices.
– If the device is in normal mode (head and base assembled, no

optical signal) press and hold the button more than 10 s. ->
LED flashes first orange (connecting), then red (reset). After
releasing the button the LED changes from red, green to
orange (LED test).

5 Maintenance

Functional check

A visual inspection and a functional check must be done for each
device monthly. After the functional check the device is muted
for 10 min, even when an alarm will be triggered.

08.15 | 2.1 | F.01U.309.850 Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

Wireless Smoke Alarm

Graphics | en 13

– The device is in normal mode (no signal). To perform the

functional check press and release the button (< 2 s). (6) ->
Siren sounds 3 times ≥85 dB(A), LED flashes red, emergency
light on. Then LED flashes red once every 10 s (muted). After
10 min the device will switch to normal mode again.

If the functional check fails the device is defective and must be
replaced.

Siren off (alarm signal)

LED of the device that triggered an alarm flashes red fast.
– If you press and release the button (< 2 s) of a device that

has triggered an alarm, then all devices stop sounding and
emergency light turns off (delay up to 16 s).

– If you press and release the button (< 2 s) of another device

in the network, then all devices (except the device that
triggered the alarm) stop sounding and emergency light turns
off (delay up to 16 s).

After turning the siren off, the LED of the device that has
triggered the alarm flashes red once every 10 s (muted). After
10 min the device will switch to normal mode again.

Polluted smoke chamber/weak battery

If the siren sounds short 3 times every 43 s (polluted smoke
chamber), then you have to replace the device. If the siren
sounds short once every 43 s (weak battery), also then you have
to replace the device.
If the siren sounds short once every 3 h the device indicates
weak battery of another device in the network. The device with
weak battery sounds every 43 s and must be replaced.
