FW2-SMK
Wireless Smoke & Heat Detector
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.

WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN MOBILE HOMES
AND RVs
Mobile homes and RVs built after about 1978 were designed and
insulated to be energy-efficient. In mobile homes and RVs built
after1978, smoke detectors should be installed as described above.
Older mobile homes and RVs may have little or no insulation compared
to current standards. Outside walls and roofs are often made of noninsulated metal, which can transfer thermal energy flow from outdoors.
This makes the air right next to them hotter or colder than the rest of the
inside air. These layers of hotter or colder air can keep smoke from
reaching a smoke detector. Therefore, install smoke detectors in such
units only on inside walls. Place them 10 - 15 cm (4 - 6 inches) from the
ceiling. If you are not sure how much insulation is in your mobile home
or RV, then install the detector on an inside wall. If the walls or ceiling
are unusually hot or cold, then install the detector on an inside wall.
Install one detector as close to the sleeping area as possible for
minimum security, or install one detector in each room for more security.
Before you install any detector, please read the following section on
"Where Not to Install Smoke Detectors".
WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
False alarms occur when smoke detectors are installed where they will
not work properly. To avoid false alarms, do not install smoke detectors
in the following situations:
Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. Do not
install smoke detectors in or near areas where combustion particles are
present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages
where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters
and space heaters.
Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 m (20 feet) away from
places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens. If
a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the
detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible,
preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide good ventilation
in such places.
PREPARE YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR FOR INSTALLATION
Battery Connection
1. Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise
to release the base down.
2. The FW2-SMK comes with special mechanism within the battery
holder that prevents the cover from closing if there is no battery
inside.
3. The smoke detector is supplied with a 3V lithium battery.
4. Insert the battery into the battery compartment with the flexible
contacts on the detector.
ID Registration - "LEARN" Procedure
In order to learn the FW2-SMK detector into the control panel, please
refer to the Installer Manual.
NOTE: It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target
receiver "learn" the transmitter’s ID before actual installation.
Refer to the target receiver’s installation instructions and follow the
procedure given there for "learning" transmitter IDs.
Make sure that the receiver is at learning mode - according to control
panel installation instruction.
Use the Back Tamper in order to enroll the unit into the Control Panel.
Enroll the detector
Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise to
release the base down.
The tamper switch will be activated and issue a tamper event
transmission that is used to enroll the smoke detector.
HOW TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
Remove the red cover from detector body.
Hold mounting base firmly and turn it anti-clockwise to release it from
the detector body.
Hold the mounting base against the ceiling and mark the center of
each slot. Drill 2 holes and install the mounting base with the screws .
Insert the battery according to the polarity into the detector body.

SETTING UP THE DETECTORS
The FW2-SMK Detector can be set to detect Smoke and H eat or Heat
only.
The default setting is on Smoke & Heat.
If change setting from default is not required - skip this paragraph!
Remove the battery
Open the detector body by releasing 3 plastic snaps at the bottom.
Reassemble the body cover on the base by aligning the snaps against
their holders and pressing them together.
Mode Setting:
Set the Slide switch according the printed on board.
SMK-Smoke & Heat
TEMP- Heat only
Hold the detector against the mounting base and turn it clockwise
until it fix.
When reassembling the body, pay attention not to bend the Heat Sensor.
Insert the battery
Hold the Base against the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise until it
"clicks".
