1184 Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector

Description

The 1184 is a 3V battery powered wireless carbon
monoxide (CO) detector that provides early warning
when its electrochemical sensing technology measures
carbon monoxide levels in the air.

The detector consists of an electrochemical carbon
monoxide sensor assembly coupled with an 1100 Series
wireless transmitter. The transmitter can send alarm,
trouble, tamper and low battery condition messages to
the alarm panel.

The 1184 is an ideal carbon monoxide detector for

difcult to wire locations, applications where room

aesthetics are critical or where hazardous materials
exist.

Compatibility

All DMP 1100 Series Wireless Receivers and Panels

What is Included

The 1184 Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector package includes the following items:

• One 1184 Carbon Monoxide Detector with DMP wireless transmitter installed

• One 3V lithium CR123-Fire battery

• Hardware pack

• Zone name and number label

• Serial number labels

Transmitter Serial Number

For your convenience, an additional pre-printed serial number label is included. Prior to installing the device,
record the serial number or place the pre-printed serial number label on the panel programming sheet. This number
is required during programming. As needed, use the zone name and number label to identify a specic transmitter.

Programming the Transmitter in the Panel

Locate and record the detector serial number. This number is required during programming. Program the device as
an Emergency (EM) type zone in Zone Information during panel programming. At the Serial Number: prompt, enter

the eight-digit serial number. Continue to program the zone as directed in the panel programming guide.

Note: When a receiver is installed, powered up, or the panel is reset, the supervision time for transmitters is reset.
If the receiver has been powered down for more than one hour, wireless transmitters may take up to an additional
hour to send a supervision message unless tripped, tampered, or powered up. This operation extends battery life for
transmitters. A missing message may display on the keypad until the transmitter sends a supervision message.

Selecting the Proper Location
(LED Survey Operation)

For optimum wireless performance, install the transmitter away from large metal objects. Mounting the transmitter

on or near metal surfaces impairs performance. The 1183 Series transmitters provide a survey capability to allow

one person to conrm transmitter communication with the receiver. The 1183 transmitter PCB Red Survey LED

turns on whenever data is sent to the receiver then immediately turns off when the receiver acknowledgement is
received. The survey button is located within the battery compartment and the transmitter survey LED can be seen
near the survey button location. When the transmitter does not receive an acknowledgement from the receiver
the LED remains on for about 8 seconds to let you know communication is not established. Communication is also
faulty when the LED blinks multiple times in quick succession. Relocate the transmitter or receiver until the LED
immediately turns off indicating the transmitter and receiver are communicating properly.

Test the communication between the control panel and the detector before permanently mounting the detector as
follows:

1. Program the transmitter into the panel. See Programming Transmitter in the Panel. Install the battery.
Note: Survey operation requires that the detector have the mounting base installed to engage the tamper switch.

2. Hold the detector up in the location where you plan to install it.

3. Press the survey button (See Figure 2) to send data to the receiver to conrm operation.

General Location Guidelines

In addition to NFPA 720, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance from the detector:

•

Locate ceiling-mounted detectors at least 12 inches from any wall

• Locate wall-mounted detectors at least as high as the light switch and at least 6 inches from the ceiling.

• Mount the detector on a rm permanent surface

•

Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature does not exceed 104° F (40° C)
or drop below 32° F (0° C).

• When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent

tile removal

• Locate in the vicinity of ame-fueled appliances, but no closer than 10 feet.

• Keep detectors away from vents and the reach of children and pets.

• Mount the detector on a rm permanent surface

Installing the Detector

Note: When setting up a wireless system, it is recommended to program zones and connect the wireless
receiver before installing batteries in the transmitters.

Install the Mounting Base

1. Using the two screws provided,
mount the base in the location
previously surveyed for proper
communication.

Attaching and Removing the Detector

1. Using the alignment notch on the
lip of the mounting base as a guide,
align the detector with the alignment
tabs.

2. Insert the detector into the

mounting base and turn clockwise
approximately 15 degrees. It should

snap rmly into place.

To remove the detector from the mounting
base, grasp the detector and turn it
counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees.
The detector should snap off of the

mounting base. See Figure 3.
