DESCRIPTION
2
The 1166 Wireless Smoke Ring can
be installed with any traditional
AC-powered interconnected smoke
alarm system.
Traditional smoke alarms only
provide an audible alert in the event
of a fire. The 1166 monitors the
interconnected smoke alarm system
and sends a message to the alarm
panel when any smoke alarm is
triggered.
Only one 1166 is required per smoke
alarm system if all the existing
smoke alarms are interconnected.
Each smoke alarm in a protected
residence must be tested to verify
interconnection prior to installing
1166 devices.
with three-wire AC-powered smoke alarms with an interconnected
wired output. It will not work with two-wire AC-powered smoke
alarms, wireless smoke alarms, or battery powered smoke alarms.
See Compatibility for specific smoke alarm models the 1166 has
been tested with.
PROGRAM THE PANEL
Program the 1166 Wireless Smoke Ring into the panel. Each 1166
programmed takes up one zone in the panel. Refer to the panel
programming guide as needed.
1. In ZONE INFORMATION, enter the ZONE NO: and press
CMD.
2. Enter the ZONE NAME.
3. Select FI (fire) as the ZONE TYPE.
4. At the NEXT ZN? prompt, select NO. If you see the
WIRELESS ZONE prompt, select YES.
5. Enter the eight-digit SERIAL# and press CMD.
6. Enter the SUPRVSN TIME (supervision time) and press
CMD.
7. At the NEXT ZN? prompt, select YES if you are finished

SELECT A SMOKE ALARM
Choose one of the smoke alarms in the interconnected system
onto which you will add the 1166.
Since the 1166 does not have a visible Survey LED, use a wireless
device with a Survey LED to confirm that the 1166 will be within
communication range of a DMP wireless receiver or panel. DMP
recommends using an 1106 Wireless Universal Transmitter that has
been programmed into the panel.
Check the Location Using a Survey LED
1. Open the wireless device and hold it over the smoke alarm
onto which the 1166 will be added.
2. Press the tamper switch to send data to the panel and see if
communication is confirmed or faulty.
Confirmed: If communication is confirmed, the Survey
LED blinks immediately on and immediately o for
each press or release of the tamper switch.
Faulty: If communication is faulty, the Survey LED
remains on for up to 8 seconds or flashes multiple
times in quick succession. Chose a dierent smoke
alarm or relocate the wireless receiver until the Survey
LED confirms clear communication.

REMOVE THE SMOKE ALARM
Once you have confirmed that the 1166 will be within communication range of a receiver or panel, remove the
chosen smoke alarm and install the 1166 mounting base.
1. Turn o power to the smoke alarm system at the breaker before beginning the installation.
2. Remove the chosen smoke alarm from its mounting base by twisting it counterclockwise or clockwise
(depending on the brand).
3. Unplug the pigtail connector and detach the smoke alarm.
4. Remove the screws from the mounting bracket to detach it from the electric junction box.
5. Insert the pigtail wire and wire taps through the center opening in the 1166.
6. Place the 1166 where the mounting base was on the ceiling or wall and then place the mounting base
over the 1166. Line up the screw openings.
7. Use the mounting screws included with the 1166 to attach the mounting base and 1166 to the electric

Figure 3: Connecting the
1166’s Wiretaps
WIRE THE 1166
Follow these steps to connect the wires on the 1166 to the smoke alarm pigtail wires. The 1166 only connects
to the white neutral and yellow, orange, or red interconnect wires. The interconnect has a maximum voltage
of 9.0 volts.
Caution: Do not crimp a wiretap onto the hot black wire.
1. Place the 1166’s yellow wiretap over the yellow, orange, or red signal wire and crimp it in place using
pliers. See Figure 3.
2. Place the 1166’s white wiretap over the white neutral wire and crimp it in place using pliers.
3. Fit the wires back into the wiring opening in the smoke alarm mounting base.
4. Reconnect the pigtail connector to the smoke alarm and twist the smoke alarm back into place on its
mounting base.
5. Turn power back on at the breaker to complete the installation.
