BEFORE INSTALLATION

Please read this manual thoroughly along with the Application Guides for Sys­tem Sensor Smoke (A05-1003) and CO Detectors (A05-1099), which provide
detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning and special ap­plications. Copies of these manuals are available at systemsensor.com.

IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following

NFPA 72/NFPA 720 requirements.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The W4 series is a battery-operated, system-connected, combination carbon
monoxide/smoke detector with a built-in wireless transmitter for use with
iControl wireless control panel models. It will report maintenance, tamper and
independent smoke alarm or CO alarm signals to a compatible wireless con­trol panel. It has a speaker for vocal feedback, multi-criteria smoke detection,
and integrated side LED windows that are viewable from 360 degrees when
the detector is in an alarm condition.

FEATURES

Smoke Features

• Multi-criteria smoke sensing using a combination of photoelectric, heat,
flame flicker and carbon monoxide sensing.

• Drift compensation and noise rejection algorithms.

• Smoke test button.

• 360 degree, side viewable red LED smoke indication.

CO Features

• 10 year electrochemical CO sensor.

• Sensor end-of-life notification.

• CO test button.

• RealTest® functional gas entry test capable.

• 360 degree, side viewable blue LED CO indication.

Audible Annunciation

• Local integral sounder.

• Voice speaker provides supplemental instructions during alarm, installa
tion and maintenance feedback.

Installation and Maintenance

• Universal mounting base.

• Audible maintenance information including smoke sensitivity.

Other Features

• Ships with 4 CR-123 lithium batteries.

• UL/ULC listed to standards 268 and 2075.

VISIBLE ANNUNCIATON

The W4 series detector has a multi-color top LED; Green, Red, and Amber.
The LED is green for supervisory indication; it blinks during power on, reset,
and during normal operation. The LED is amber to signal maintenance and
trouble events. W4 utilizes the side LED windows to indicate alarm events;
red for smoke and blue for CO.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Ceiling: Detector should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) from any wall.

Wall: Detector should be no closer than 6 inches (15 cm) from ceiling.

• Do not install outdoors or in any environment that does not comply with
the detector’s environmental specifications.

• Install in accordance with NFPA 72 and 720 standards. NFPA 72 and
720 define standards for both commercial and residential installation of
smoke and CO detectors. Local laws involving CO detection should also
be considered.

• If the installation can be interpreted as residential, consult the section
of NFPA 720 that outlines residential applications. Chapter 9.4.1.1, for
example, states that carbon monoxide alarms or detectors shall be in­stalled as follows:

• Outside each separate dwelling unit sleeping area in the immediate
vicinity of the bedroom.

• On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.

• Consult NFPA 72, the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and/
or applicable codes for specific information regarding the spacing and
placement of smoke detectors.

• Do not install detectors in the following areas:

• In or near areas where particles of combustion are normally present such as
kitchens, in garages, near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.

• In very cold or very hot areas that may be outside the detectors op­erating range.

• In wet or excessively humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers.

• In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.

• Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Air con­ditioners, heaters, fans, and fresh air intakes and returns can drive
smoke away from the detector.

INSTALLATION

Add the CO/Smoke Detector to the TouchScreen:

1. Remove detector from packaging and separate the mounting base from
the detector head.

2. On the TouchScreen, log into the Settings app with an Installer code.

3. Enter Technician Code/ID.

4. In the Settings menu, tap Sensors & Zones > Add a Sensor/Zone.

5. Remove the battery tab from the detector, making sure the batteries re­main fully seated. The detector will run through its initialization. (See
Table 1.)

6. The base model will enter Search mode (skip to step 8). The voice model
will prompt for language selection. (Move to step 7.)

7. Press the Smoke test button to select English or the CO test button to se­lect Spanish language settings. Once the language is selected the detector
will enter Search mode. (To reset language selection, see Restore Factory
Settings section.)

8. At the Locating Wireless Sensors screen, tap Next. A Done button ap­pears on the screen and the TouchScreen searches for sensors that are
available to be added. As sensors are found, a grayed icon appears for
that sensor. It will indicate a Trip to Pair operation request. The tamper
feature is disabled at this time to allow time to install the detector and
mounting bracket on the ceiling or wall.

9. A sensor that has been automatically enrolled will appear on the screen
with a green check mark. If after waiting 15 seconds a green check mark
does not appear, press the respective test button to pair the sensor to the
TouchScreen. Press a test button to vocalize the signal strength status
between sensor and panel.

10. Any located sensors that were not paired are released by the TouchScreen
and can be added later. The Wireless Sensors Located screen shows the
number of wireless sensors found and paired.

11. Upon success pairing of both CO and Smoke sensors, tap Done, tap Next.
The Configure Wireless Sensors screen shows icons of the sensors that
were found and paired. Touch each sensor icon to configure the corre­sponding device.

12. The Add Sensor/Zone Modify screen appears. To change the Smoke Icon
or CO Icon (if multiple options are available) and the 24-Hour zone func­tion, tap the drop down arrow next to the value you wish to modify, and

then select the new value from the choices provided.

13. The Add Sensor/Zone Modify screen appears. To modify a Zone Label on
the TouchScreen, tap the field, use the onscreen keyboard to enter your
changes, and tap Done to save your changes.

14. Tap Next in the Add Sensor/Zone screen. If all of the sensors have not
been configured, the Modify screen appears for each sensor to let you
review its details. Change the details as needed or tap Next to cycle
through all sensors. The sensors are marked as configured.

MOUNTING

Physically mount the smoke detector in the desired location;

NOTE: NFPA 72 recommends the installation of detectors only after complet­ing construction or any other dust producing activity.

Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina­tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

1. Disconnect alarm-notification appliances, service-release devices, and
extinguishing systems.

2. Hold the smoke detector where you plan to install it. If the green LED is
blinking rapidly while off its mounting base, this indicates the RF signal
strength is adequate. Press a test button and verify the signal strength.

3. Using two supplied screws and anchors, mount the base.

4. Attach the smoke detector to the mounting base with a clockwise mo­tion.

5. Test each detector as described in the Testing section.

6. Notify the proper authority that the system is in operation.

TESTING

Test communications between the detector and the control panel;

The detector has two test buttons; one for smoke testing and one for CO test­ing. The detector may also be functionally tested using canned smoke and
canned CO. If the detector fails any of the test methods the detector should
be replaced.

NOTE: Testing the detector will activate the alarm and send a signal to the
panel. Before testing, notify the proper authorities to avoid any nuisance
alarms.

1. Pressing the Smoke test button for 1 second will provide audible diag­nostic information for the homeowner on sensor status and battery life.
Pressing and holding the Smoke test button for 3 to 5 seconds will pro­vide diagnostic information for the technician including smoke sensitiv­ity readout and then enter smoke entry test mode. (See Smoke Entry Test
section.)

2. Pressing the CO test button for 1 second will provide diagnostic informa­tion for the homeowner on sensor status, battery life, and CO sensor life.
Pressing and holding the CO test button for 3 to 5 seconds will enter
functional gas entry test mode. (See Functional Gas Test section.)

3. The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be verified for
a complete test of the system.
