System overview

The RFSM-A smoke detector is designed to be used as a standalone smoke detector. The RFSM-A includes a built-in sounder for alarm alerts and a visual status LED.

2 ￚ LED

3 ￚ Sounder vent

Under normal (non-alarm) conditions, the LED flashes once every 8 seconds while the sensor monitors the surrounding conditions. When the RFSM-A detects smoke, the LED changes from flashing to on and the built-in sounder produces a loud continuous tone. The RFSM-A uses two 3-volt lithium batteries, which are included with the sensor. The RFSM-A also provides the following features: – Self-diagnostic monitor sensor sensitivity and operational status. – A tamper switch triggers a tamper signal transmission when the detector is removed from

its mounting base.

– A replaceable optical chamber provides easy maintenance when required.

Internal signal outputs

When the smoke sensor is listed with a transmitter, it provides the following signals for interfacing: – Alarm – Alarm restore – Low battery – Maintenance alert – Tamper
