Installation and Operating Instructions

Read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the WS8916 Wireless Smoke Detector.

Introduction

NOTE:

The WS8916 is a wireless photoelectric smoke detector with a fixed
temperature and rate of rise heat detector, and an internal piezoelectric
alarm.

Operation

Approximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke or heat
alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also performs self
diagnostics, and checks for tampers and faults. During normal
operation the LED will flash every 50 seconds and the siren will not
sound.

Smoke Alarm

The smoke detector will go into alarm when the signal level exceeds
the 'alarm' threshold and automatically restore when the signal level
falls below the alarm 'restore' threshold. During an alarm the LED will
flash 1/second and the siren will sound the evacuation temporal
pattern.
The smoke detector has a preset warning threshold at 75% of the
alarm threshold. If the signal level stays above this threshold, but below
the alarm threshold, for more than 120 seconds, the detector will go
into the 'warning' state. If the signal level falls below the early warning
'restore' threshold, the detector will restore to its normal state
automatically. If the signal level rises above the alarm threshold, the
detector will go into alarm. The LED will flash and the siren will chirp
every 50 seconds when in the warning state.

NOTE:

This feature is intended to provide a warning if the environ­ment is persistently close to the alarm threshold and provide more
time to investigate and either escape or correct the situation.

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 (57ºC/135ºF); and will automatically restore when the
heat signal level falls below the heat alarm threshold (restore). The detector
will also go into heat alarm if there is a rapid increase in the temperature
over a short period of time. During an alarm the LED will flash 1/second and
the siren will sound the evacuation temporal pattern.

Tamp er

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.

Wireless Transmissions

A supervisory message is transmitted at 12 minute intervals to the
control panel. If the signal is not received the control panel determines
that the detector is missing.
The detector transmits the following:

• Alarm / Alarm Restore - (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted at time
of occurrence.

• Ta mp e r / Ta m p e r R e s t o re - (tamper switch activated) 10 second
maximum delay on restore before transmission.

• Low Battery - (battery voltage falls below threshold). The batteries are
tested & transmitted at the time of a supervisory or other transmis­sions.

• Trouble - (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached). Trou­bles are transmitted at the time of occurrence (one trouble per super­visory interval).

Batteries

The

WS8916

tion section).

Do NOT use any other batteries than those listed.

The low battery threshold is set so the batteries will provide not less
than 14 days of operation and at that point the detector will send a
'low battery' signal. If the battery is still low 7 days after falling through
the low battery threshold, the horn will 'chirp' once every 48 seconds
until battery failure. During the first 7 days after low battery detection,
(non-chirp period), if the detector is tested or goes into alarm, the horn
will 'chirp' once the test or alarm is restored and remain 'chirping' until
battery failure.
Replacement batteries can be purchased from the distributor, the
installation company, hardware stores or supermarkets etc.

Installation Instructions

The WS8916 Series wireless smoke dete ctor s hall be installed and used
within an environment that provides the pollution degree max 2 and
overvoltages category II in NON HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, indoor only.
The equipment is designed to be installed by SERVICE PERSONS only;
(SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the appropriate
technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to
which that person may be exposed in performing a task and of
measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons).

1. Smoke Detector Placement

On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a
guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air
movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult
appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.

•Do NOT locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceil-

•Do NOT locate detectors in areas of high humidity.

•Do NOT locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above

is powered by two, 3VDC lithium batteries (see Specifica-

ings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit from
detecting smoke. Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near
doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector
may prevent smoke from entering the unit.

Installer Compensation Reset

Cleaning or replacement of the smoke sensor chamber changes the
background signal/noise of the detector; this requires the drift
compensation be reset. Compensation trouble is one of the faults
indicated when the LED indicator is off while the siren is chirping.

1. Remove batteries, then short the detector battery contacts for 5
seconds to power down unit.

2. Replace batteries to power up unit while pressing the test button.

3. The tamper switch must not be pressed.

4. The LED will flash when 5 seconds has elapsed. Release the test
button within 2 seconds of the LED flash.

5. The LED will flash every 2 seconds for 1 minute. During this
period, the detector must be mounted.

Allow an additional 2 minutes for the detector to make
background level checks.

6. Test the detector to verify normal operation.

5. Test Unit

NOTE:

The central monitoring station (if used) should be notified
prior to the test being generated. This will prevent a false alarm and
an unnecessary response from the central monitoring station.

Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds minimum. Alarm
activation is indicated by the flashing LED, the siren, and transmission
of the alarm signal to the control panel. The detector restores to
normal when the test button is released.

NOTE: Allow a minimum of 20 seconds after power up and , after
test, alarm or tamper restore activations. Do not use test button
when smoke is present.

NOTE: If the detector is in one of the following states when a test is
initiated; it will not enter an alarm state.

• Tamper, (detector not installed on mounting plate)

• Compensation Trouble

• Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat alarm.

NOTE: Smoke sensitivity of installed detectors can be measured
without removal or an alarm being generated using the FSD-100
Smoke Detector Test Meter.

To test the unit using the FSD-100, set the test meter up to read
devices as per the instructions supplied. Depress the test button on the
smoke detector for 1 second and release.

NOTE: If the test button is held for 5 seconds or longer, an alarm
will be generated.

Move the test meter over the center of the detector, wait until you
hear the test meter beep, remove the unit and the information can be
immediately reviewed. Please see the instructions supplied with the
FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter for more information.

6. Device Enrollment

The 6 digit serial number located on the back of the smoke detector
housing must be enrolled into the alarm control panel with Installer
programming. Refer to the receiver
For placement tests remove detector from backplate for one second
(tamper) then reattach. Wait at least 30 seconds for test result before
activating again.

Owners Instructions

Fire Safety In The Home

Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is
recommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a
family escape plan be developed.

Household Fire Safety Audit

1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition?
Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you
are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances
or household service, have a professional evaluation.

2. Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers,
and in a cool and well ventilated area? Cleaning the unit
with flammable liquids should be avoided.

3. Are hazardous materials (i.e. matches) out of the reach of
children?

4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly
installed, clean, and in good working order? If in doubt,
have a professional evaluation.

Family Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the
time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very important that a
family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

• Every family member should participate in the escape plan.

• Study the possible escape routes from each location within the

house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be
given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.

• It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without

opening the interior door. Consider the following when making
your escape plans:

• Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily

opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and that the locking
mechanisms operate smoothly.

• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly

or handicapped, plans for their rescue should be developed. This
plan includes making sure that those who are to perform the res­cue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.

• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope

should be provided, as well as training in its use.

• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove

snow from exterior patio doors in the winter and that outdoor fur­niture or equipment does not block exits.

• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where

everyone can be accounted for; for example, across the street or at
a neighbor’s house.

• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.

• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first or

attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings
or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, do not re-enter
the house; wait for the Fire Department.

• Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an

emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the
plan as conditions change; for example, when there are more or
fewer family members in the home or if there are changes to the
house.

• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting

weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact
your smoke detector installer or dealer.

• DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Department and

request further information on home fire safety and escape plan­ning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an
in-house fire safety inspection.

Testing Your Smoke Detector

Follow the test procedure described here or contact your
smoke detector dealer or installer for testing instructions. DSC
recommends that you test the entire alarm system at least
once a week to verify the operation of all system functions.

Smoke Detector Unit Test

Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds (min.), the siren
makes clicking noises during this time. Press the button until the unit
alarm sounds, an alarm should be sent to the control panel. When
the button is released, the alarm should cease. If this does not occur,
ensure batteries are the correct type, in good condition and are
installed correctly (see

Instructions

Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector, check
the unit’s sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To test the
sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stick around the
outside of the unit until a generous amount of smoke enters the
sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If the smoke detector does not
function properly, call your smoke detector installer or dealer for
service.

Owners Maintenance

The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance. If
the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment. If
the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with soapy water.

Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no user ser­viceable parts inside the unit. You may only remove detector
from backplate to replace batteries if not serviced by installer.
When replacing the batteries, follow the instructions specified
within the Installation Instructions, Item 3 Install Batteries.

CAUTION: This product uses lithium batteries, improper han­dling may result in a HEAT, EXPLOSION or FIRE causing per­sonal injury. DO NOT recharge batteries. Follow th e battery
manufacturer’s safety instructions. Dispose of used batteries
in accordance with the regulations in your area.

Never paint the unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering
the unit. If you are planning renovations or repainting, con­tact your installer and ask that the unit be temporarily
removed until work is complete.

If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of
dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service;
contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.

Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of
a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly
installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is
in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect
smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors
cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires
caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as i ntended, there may be circumstances when there is insuffi­cient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

Warning: Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a regular
basis. However, despite freque nt testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampe ring or ele ctrical dis­ruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.

Important Information: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Détecteur de fumée sans fil de la série WS8916

Notice d’installation et d’utilisation

Lire toute cette notice avant l’installation et l’utilisation du détecteur de fumée sans fil WS8916.

Introduction

Le

WS8916

est un détecteur de fumée photoélectrique sans fil avec un
détecteur de chaleur à température fixe et élévation du taux de chaleur,
comprenant aussi une alarme piézoélectrique.

REMARQUE :

DEL/Bouton

d’essai

Avertisseur

Piezo

Reperes
d’alignement

Fonctionnement

Le dispositif fait un essai toutes les 7 à 8 secondes pour détecter une
situation de fumée ou de chaleur qui déclencherait l’alarme. Durant cette
séquence, le dispositif effectue également des autodiagnostics et vérifie
qu’il n’y a eu ni sabotage ni anomalie. Durant le fonctionnement normal,
le DEL clignote toutes les 50 secondes et l’avertisseur n’émet aucun son.

Détecteur de fumée

Le détecteur de fumée déclenche une alarme lorsque le niveau du signal
dépasse la limite "alarme" et il est automatiquement rétabli lorsque le
niveau du signal tombe sous la limite "rétablissement" d’alarme Durant
une alarme le DEL clignote une fois chaque seconde et l’avertisseur émet
un son temporel d’évacuation.
Le détecteur de fumée a un seuil d’avertissement préréglé à 75% du seuil
d’alarme. Sil le niveau du signal dépasse ce seuil mais reste en dessous du
seuil d’alarme pendant plus de 120 secondes, le détecteur entre dans un
état d’"avertissement". Si le signal tombe sous le seuil "rétablissement"
de l’avertissement précoce, le détecteur revient à son état normal
automatiquement. Si le signal dépasse le seuil d’alarme, le détecteur
déclenche l’alarme. Le DEL clignote et le résonateur “piaule” toutes les 50
secondes lorsqu’il est en état d’alerte.

REMARQUE : Cette fonction a pour objet de donner l’alerte si le
milieu est continuellement proche du seuil d’alarme et donne le
temps d’enquêter et, soit de sortir, soit de résoudre le problème.

Fumée - Compensation de dérive

Le détecteur compense automatiquement les changements de
l’environnement à long terme pour maintenir une sensibilité constante à la
fumée. Lorsque la compensation de dérive atteint sa limite supérieure ou
inférieure, le détecteur indique un problème.

Alarme de chaleur

L’alarme de chaleur se déclenche lorsque le signal du niveau de chaleur
dépasse le seuil d’alarme de chaleur (57ºC/135ºF); et se rétablit
automatiquement lorsque le signal du niveau baisse sous le seuil d’alarme
de chaleur (rétablissement). Le détecteur de chaleur déclenchera une
alarme, s’il y a une augmentation rapide de température pendant une
courte période. Durant une alarme, le DEL clignote une fois chaque
seconde et l’avertisseur émet un son temporel d’évacuation.

Sabotage

Le retrait du détecteur de la plaque de montage déclenche une
transmission de "sabotage". La condition de sabotage est résolue lorsque
le détecteur est monté sur la plaque.

Transmissions sans fil

Un message de surveillance est envoyé toutes les 12 minutes ) à la
centrale. Si le signal n’est pas reçu, la centrale estime que le détecteur est
déconnecté.
Le détecteur transmet ce qui suit :

• Alarme / Rétablissement de l’alarme - (alarme de chaleur ou de
fumée). Transmise au moment de l’instance.

• Sabotage/ Rétablissement Sabotage - (interrupteur anti-sabotage
activé) 10 secondes de délai maximum au rétablissement avant la
transmission.

• Batterie faible - (la tension de la batterie tombe sous le seuil). Les
batteries sont testées et la transmission est faite au moment d’une
transmission de surveillance ou d’une autre transmission.

• Problème - (anomalie du détecteur ou la limite de compensation du
détecteur est atteinte). Les problèmes sont transmis au moment de
l’instance (un problème par intervalle de surveillance).

Batteries

Le

WS8916

est alimenté par deux batteries de lithium de 3 V.C.C. (voir la

section Caractéristiques).

NE PAS utiliser des batteries autres que celles indiquées.

Le seuil de batterie faible est réglé de telle sorte que les batteries ne
fournissent pas moins de 14 jours de fonctionnement et à ce niveau, le
détecteur envoie un signal "batterie faible". Si la batterie est encore faible
7 jours après être tombée en dessous du seuil batterie faible, l’avertisseur
"piaule" toutes les 48 secondes jusqu’à ce que la batterie tombe en
panne. Durant les 7 premiers jours après la détection de batterie faible
(période sans piaulements), si le détecteur est essayé ou si une alarme est
déclenchée, l’avertisseur piaule une fois que l’essai ou l’alarme est rétabli
et continue de piauler jusqu’à la panne de la batterie.
Vous pouvez acheter des batteries de remplacement à des endroits tels
que le distributeur, l'entreprise d'installation, des quincailleries ou des
supermarchés, etc.

Instructions d’installation

Installation

La série du détecteur de fumée
un milieu ayant un degré de pollution 2 maximum et de catégorie de
surtension II dans des MILIEUX NON DANGEREUX, à l’intérieur seulement.
Le dispositif est conçu pour une installation par UN TECHNICIEN QUALIFIÉ
seulement. (Un TECHNICIEN QUALIFIÉ est défini comme étant une
personne ayant la formation technique et l’expérience appropriées
nécessaires pour connaître les dangers auxquels elle s’expose en
effectuant ces tâches et les mesures à prendre pour minimiser les risques
pour elle-même et pour les autres.)

1. Emplacement du détecteur de fumée

Sur les plafonds plats, les détecteurs peuvent, d’une règle générale,
être espacés de 9,1 m (30 pi). D’autres espacements pourraient être
requis selon la hauteur du plafond, le mouvement de l’air, la présence
de poutres, des plafonds non isolés, etc. Consulter le National Fire
Alarm Code NFPA 72 Chapitre 11, CAN/ULS-S553-02 ou autres
normes nationales appropriées pour des recommandations
d’installation.
NE PAS placer des détecteurs de fumée au sommet d’un plafond à
double pente ou à pignon ; l’espace d’air mort à ces endroits peut
empêcher le dispositif de détecter la fumée. Éviter les endroits ayant
de forts courants d’air, tels que près d’une porte, d’un ventilateur ou
d’une fenêtre. Le mouvement rapide de l’air autour du détecteur peut
empêcher la fumée de pénétrer dans le dispositif.

NE PAS placer le détecteur dans des endroits très humides.
NE PAS placer les détecteurs à des endroits où la température

dépasse 38ºC (100ºF) ou tombe en dessous de 5ºC (41ºF).
