Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such
a system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of an
automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety
communication system that may include an autonomous control
unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication,
and other various interoperable communication methods—can
broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system, however,
does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life
resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors
be located throughout a protected premises following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as
many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to
provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or
protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or
adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of
reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach
the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or
on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not
sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may
not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the
ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets, such as air conditioning vents.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching
the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke
detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels
of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into
alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend
to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little
visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers
tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires.
Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable
in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a
given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning
of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially
in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate
or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may
be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rateof-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per
year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are
designed to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same
room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the
connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire
may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a
fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speakers and displays may not alert people if these devices are located
on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on
another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs,
alcohol, or medication. Please note that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over a
fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility
requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a
fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning
of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and bells, can have
different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property
owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training
exercises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and
instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical power. If
AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only
for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly
maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible
with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises
to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily
disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure,
backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At
a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity require
more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be
arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled as required by National and/or local fire
codes and should be performed by authorized professional life
safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of
power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may
be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and
understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be
tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is
required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system
hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or
software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100%
tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly
affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also
be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/
32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity.
Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals
be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of
15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate
erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced
transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended,
due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are
anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting
circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all
cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications,
verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed
circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact
pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed
from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid
damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP
operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

2.4.1 Profile Magnetic Sensor
The profile magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) is used to create a unique profile upon start-up. It can also be used to start profile distribution for a gateway that contains a profile. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on green for ½ a second when the sensor is
activated.
2.4.2 Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor
The mesh formation magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) transitions the gateway in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activation of the sensor puts the gateway in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation of the magnetic
sensor transitions the gateway out of mesh formation and into the initial mesh restructuring and normal mode. The gateway can be
placed back into mesh formation mode by activating the magnet sensor once again. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on
green for ½ a second when the sensor is activated.
The Mesh formation magnetic sensor can also be used to create a profile on start-up for a gateway that does not already contain a profile.

Description
NOTE: Use of the same wire gauge is recommended if there are multiple connections to the same terminal.
The gateway provides isolation of short circuits on the SLC in Class A (Style 6) installations. SLC connections are power-limited by the
panel. An interruption in the SLC that causes a loss of power at the gateway for more than 100ms may result in a trouble condition and
loss of fire protection provided by the wireless devices for approximately 15 minutes. Use of an external +24V power source (not SLC
power) is recommended for installations that require fire protection in the presence of short circuits, including Class A applications and
applications that use isolator modules.

2.8 Configuration and Programming
To successfully configure and/or program the gateway:
1. Create a profile. A profile binds a gateway and the devices in a mesh network together. The profile will contain a mesh ID that is
used when forming the associations. All devices, including the gateway, require a common profile.
2. Distribute the profile. Distribute the profile to every device that will be a part of the mesh. This will enable all the devices that have
that profile to form associative links when the mesh is formed.
3. Form the mesh. The mesh cannot be formed until the profile is assigned to the gateway and distributed to its devices.
These steps may be performed with or without using SWIFT Tools.
2.8.1 Configuration and Programming Without Using SWIFT Tools
This section explains the configuration of the gateway using only a magnet and a screw driver. For configuration instructions using
SWIFT Tools, refer to Section 2.8.2.
There are two ways to provide a gateway with a profile without using SWIFT Tools.
Create a new profile using the gateway.
Assign a previously created profile to the gateway using a distributor.
Create a New Profile
To create a unique profile in the gateway without using SWIFT Tools:
1. Start with the gateway powered off. The profile creation process is performed during start-up.
2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.
3. Ensure that the gateway is in the factory default state. If the gateway is in the factory default state, both the LEDs on the gateway
will double blink red every second for ten seconds. If the LEDs are yellow, refer to “Remove a Profile” on page 16.
4. Activate either magnetic sensor with a magnet within ten seconds of starting up the gateway while the double red blink is active on
the gateway. Refer to Section 2.4, “Magnet Sensors” for further information on activating magnetic sensors. The LED next to the
magnetic sensor emits a red light for one second when it is activated. If the ten second window is missed, power down the gateway
and repeat the process starting at step 1.
A profile has been created successfully; the LEDs on the gateway will light green and stay on steady for ten seconds. The profile has
been created containing a mesh ID and a default password. The default password is ‘12345678’ and is needed if the gateway is locked by
the FACP and later accessed by SWIFT Tools.

Figure 2.8 Selecting a Profile
assignprofile_select.jpg
Assign a Previously Created Profile Using a Distributor
Instead of creating a new profile, an existing profile can be distributed by a device with an existing profile. To distribute the existing profile:
1. Ensure that the gateway or other mesh device with the profile is set for distribution. Refer to Section 2.8.3, “Profile Distribution” or
Section 3.5.2, “Distributor Mode”.
2. Bring the profile distributor within 20 feet of the gateway.
3. 10 seconds after the initial start-up, the LEDs on the gateway switch from a double red blink to a single red blink. The single red
blink indicated the gateway is ready.
4. Use a magnet to activate either of the magnetic sensors. The LED will blink a single red every half-second indicating that it is
searching for a profile.
When the profile is successfully received from the distributor, the LEDs on the gateway will turn on green steady for five seconds.
Remove a Profile
To remove a profile from a gateway:
1. Start with the gateway powered off. The process is performed during start-up.
2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.
3. Verify the gateway is in the profile modification state. The gateway is in the profile modification state when both the LEDs on the
gateway double blink yellow every second for ten seconds.
4. Activate both magnetic sensors on the gateway within ten seconds of start-up while the double yellow blink is active. If the ten
second window is missed, power down the gateway and repeat the process starting at step 1.
The LEDs on the gateway will blink green every second for five seconds indicating that the profile is removed.
Create a Mesh Network
The gateway communicates with all devices in range that have a common profile and establishes communication links with all the
devices. This creates a mesh network. Once a device joins the mesh, that device acts as a repeater for devices out of the range of the gateway. All devices must be in their final mounting locations prior to initiating the mesh formation. The mesh formation is initiated by
the gateway upon user activation and terminated by the gateway when all possible devices join the network or when terminated by the
user.
To form a mesh network, ensure that the gateway is powered on and contains a profile. (Refer to Section 2.5 on page 11 for information
on how the gateway indicates its status). Activate the “Mesh Formation” magnet sensor on the gateway. Refer to Figure 2.2 for sensor
location.
The gateway will then transition to the mesh formation mode and establish communication with all the devices containing a common
profile. The blink pattern on the gateway indicates that it is in mesh formation mode. At this stage, both the LEDs on the gateway will
blink twice every 7 seconds.
• The first blink is green and the second blink is red when the gateway is acting as a profile distributor and forming the mesh.
• The first blink is green and the second blink is yellow when the gateway is only forming the mesh.
Mesh formation typically takes one minute for each device in the mesh. Mesh formation automatically terminates 10 minutes after the
last device joins the mesh. Mesh formation can be terminated manually by the user by again activating the mesh formation magnetic sensor.
Once the mesh formation is complete, the network automatically transitions to restructure the mesh. For operating instructions, refer to
Section 2.9, “Operations”.
2.8.2 Configuration and Programming Using SWIFT Tools

Activating the Profile Magnetic Sensor
Activating the profile magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) when the gateway has a profile will put the gateway in a mode of distributing
the profile to any device that requests a profile. The gateway’s LED pattern will be altered when it is distributing a profile for easy identification. Profile distribution will automatically terminate after 10 minutes. For more information on gateway LED patterns, refer to
Section 2.5 on page 11.
2.8.4 SLC Configuration
The gateway:
communicates with the control panel via the SLC.
is only compatible with Gateway firmware version 2.1 or higher.
occupies one module SLC address. Set the address using the rotary dials on the gateway prior to installation.
The SLC point uses the following configuration parameters:
• Module Type: Monitor
• Type Code Label: RF GATEWAY
• FlashScan Type: RF GATEWAY
A gateway does not initiate alarms but the point is used for event reporting.
NOTE: When a wireless relay, wireless AV base, or wireless sync module is in use, module device count must be limited to 109 modules
per loop. This includes wired and wireless modules that are on the same loop. The module address range must be within 1-109.
2.9 Operations
2.9.1 Modes of Operation
Start-up Mode
Start-up mode is a temporary mode of operation. During start-up mode a profile can be created or removed. The start-up period lasts for
10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs double blink yellow every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the
LEDs double blink red every second.
During start-up, the gateway does not provide fire protection nor does it respond to the FACP.
After start-up, the gateway proceeds to the factory default mode if no profile exists. In the presence of a profile, the gateway will proceed to mesh formation mode if it was previously part of a mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh network.
SWIFT® Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology Manual — P/N LS10036-000FH-E:B 11/9/2017 19
WIDP-WGI Wireless System Gateway Operations
Factory Default Mode
Factory default mode is the initial mode of the gateway. In this mode, the gateway and peripheral devices do not provide any fire protection. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detectors or modules in factory default mode. The only wireless communication
in factory default mode is between the gateway and SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must be within 20 feet of the gateway for proper communication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.
The gateway reports a “NO PROFILE” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Factory Default” to the communicator display of
SWIFT Tools.
Transitions back to Factory Default mode are not shown in the above diagram. However, any time the profile is removed from the gateway, it will return to Factory Default mode.
Profile Configured
The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools or a distributor; or after creating a profile
using the magnetic sensor. Profile configured mode is a temporary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal
mode.
The gateway does not provide fire protection in the profile configured mode. While in the profile configured mode, the gateway reports
a “RF MESH NOT FORMED” or “RF MESH” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Profile Assigned” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Mesh Formation
The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire
protection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh formation mode:
after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor.
after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a profile.
automatically after start-up when the gateway was previously part of a mesh.
by a command from the SWIFT Tools application.
A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh formation mode. The gateway and all
communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the same profile to join the network.
If the gateway automatically entered mesh formation after start-up, mesh formation will terminate 10 minutes after the last device has
joined or after all existing devices are recovered. If new devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh formation terminates after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh formation can be terminated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again or by using the SWIFT Tools application.
The gateway reports a “RF MESH FORMING” or “RF MESH” trouble when it is mesh formation mode with additional devices in the
mesh. The gateway reports “Mesh Formation” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Initial Mesh Restructuring Mode
Initial mesh restructuring mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The gateway and peripheral devices do not provide fire
protection during the initial mesh restructuring mode. Mesh restructuring analyzes signal strengths between devices. The gateway designates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all transmissions. Mesh
restructuring automatically terminates once all devices have a redundant communication path and signal strengths that meet the requirements of primary and secondary transmission paths. Any device that does not have a redundant path or meet the requirements for signal
strength will report a fault.
The gateway reports a “RF MESH FORMING” or “RF MESH” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
Normal Mode
Normal mode is the network’s standard operating state. The mesh network has been formed and is providing fire protection. The mesh
network will continuously search for additional devices with a matching profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh network periodically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gateway reports “Normal” to the communicator display
of the SWIFT Tools application.
Rescue Mode
During normal mode, if an out-of-network device with a matching profile is discovered by the network, the gateway will trigger rescue
mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode but also
search for a lost or added device. Rescue mode automatically terminates 3 minutes after the last device is rescued and returns to normal
mode. The gateway does not report troubles during rescue mode but reports “Rescue” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools
application.
Mesh Restructuring Mode
In addition to the initial mesh restructuring mode, mesh restructuring is automatically performed after any restoration of communication
to a device or to recover from a link failure (Class A fault). Mesh restructuring that occurs during normal mode does not generate a trouble message. During mesh restructuring, fire protection is provided by all devices that are participating in the mesh communication. The
gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
