ABOUT THE 1164

1164/1164NS Wireless Smoke Detectors are 3.0V battery powered, wireless, low-profile,
photo-electric smoke detectors used with 1100 Series DMP Wireless Receivers. The
1164 synchronizes its Temporal 3-alarm cadence with other 1164s installed on the same
fire system. The 1164NS has the same functionality as the 1164, except the 1164NS does
not have a built-in sounder. The 1164NS is intended for use in installations with existing
notification devices.

INDICATOR LEDS

The 1164/1164NS provides two indicator
LEDs. Depending on how the LED is
operating, the red LED indicates there
is either smoke detected, a test alarm in
progress, low battery, or maintenance is
needed.

OPTIONAL TAMPER

The 1164/1164NS features a tamper switch
to send a trouble message to the panel
if the detector is removed from the
mounting base.

POWER SUPPLY

The 1164/1164NS is powered by one 3.0V
lithium battery. (Panasonic Model CR123A
or DMP Model CR123-FIRE). Typical
battery life expectancy for the 1164/1164NS
is at least one year.

CADENCE SYNCHRONIZATION

The Model 1164 only provides a cadence
synchronization with other 1164s on the
system. This option can be enabled in
device programming.

SELECT A LOCATION

Use the LED survey operation to select a proper location for the smoke detector. The LED
survey operation allows one person to confirm communication with the wireless receiver
or panel while the cover is removed. Because the smoke detector’s transmitter LED is not
visible, use a separate 1100 Series transmitter for the LED survey operation, such as the
1106 Universal Transmitter.

1. Hold the 1106 in the exact desired location.

2. Press the tamper switch on the 1106 to send data to the panel and determine if
communication is confirmed or faulty.

Confirmed: If communication is confirmed, for each press or release of the
tamper switch the LED blinks immediately on and immediately o.

Faulty: If communication is faulty, the LED remains on for up to eight
seconds or flashes multiple times in a quick succession. Relocate the wireless
receiver until the LED confirms clear communication.

AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION

A proper location is critical to ensuring proper operation. Equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72, Chapters,
2 and 8. You may need to reference other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.

Smoke detector regulations vary from state to state, so contact the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local,
or other regional department or individual (such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire
prevention bureau, labor or health department, building ocial, electrical inspector, or
others having statutory authority.

For insurance purposes, an AHJ may be an insurance inspection department, rating
bureau, or other insurance company representative. Sometimes, a property owner or
their designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the
commanding ocer or department ocial may be the AHJ.

1164/1164NS Installation and Programming Guide 15

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

SUPERVISION MESSAGE

When a wireless receiver is installed, a receiver is restarted, the panel is reset, or if
programming is complete, then the supervision time is reset. If the receiver has been
powered down for more than one hour, then the 1164/1164NS may take up to an additional
hour to send a supervision message. A missing message may display on the keypad until
the supervision message is sent.

INSPECTION TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

The smoke detector is designed for easy field service and maintenance. When installed and
used properly, they require minimal maintenance. The smoke detector should be functionally
tested per NFPA 72 for system type smoke detectors. See Smoke Testing. When a smoke
detector requires maintenance, the red LED blinks every 5 seconds.

Caution: Smoke alarms cannot provide warnings for fires resulting from explosions,
smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases, children
playing with matches or lighters.

1164/1164NS Series Installation and Programming Guide 20

WARNING! LIMITATION OF SMOKE DETECTORS

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 the battery is dead or not installed properly.

Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken drugs or
alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom. Closed or partially
closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not designed for the hearing
impaired.

Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough. Smoke alarms
only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof,
on the other side of closed doors, or on a dierent level of the property, enough smoke
may not reach the alarm for it to alarm.

Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury, and even death. However, no
matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under every circumstance
and we must warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm to ensure that you will never
suer any damage or injury.

1164/1164NS Installation and Programming Guide 21

FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE

The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early
stages and sound an alarm, giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely.

AVOID FIRE HAZARDS

• Do not smoke in bed.

• Do not leave children home alone.

• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.

• Properly store materials.

• Use general good housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A
cluttered basement, attic, or other storage areas are an open invitation to fire.

• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their
intended uses.

• Do not overload electrical outlets.

• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home.

• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared.
