Attention: Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this guide which should be saved for future reference.

The CDX-135Z wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detector with heat and freeze sensor is compatible with the following Interlogix learn mode panels: Simon®XT, Simon XTI, Concord®4 (firmware version 4.7 or higher), Advisor®One and UltraSync

Description

The Interlogix CDX-135Z supervised photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector with heat and freeze sensors is a self-diagnostic Learn Mode wireless sensor with wireless interconnection, 10-yr sealed battery and sensor life, built-in sounder, diagnostic/status LED, integrated fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor and a pre-freeze condition sensor.

The CDX-135Z uses a 319.5MHz transmitter for communication to the control panel and a 915MHz transmitter for interconnection communication between networked detectors. Up to 24 detectors can be a part of the same interconnected network. The dual transmitter design ensures interconnection integrity is maintained independent of control panel status. Because of this unique design the CDX-135Z is multi listed to UL 217, UL268, UL2034 and UL2075 requirements.

The combination alarm combines the detection capabilities of a photoelectric sensor with that of an electrochemical sensor, which is used to detect CO. The highly accurate electrochemical CO sensor uses sophisticated onboard microprocessor to effectively

track CO level over time. The detector has a test feature that allows for testing with real CO gas.

The CDX-135Z uses a 10-year sealed-in lithium battery ensuring continuous operation over the 10 year life of the detector. This eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized deactivation of alarm. The self-activation feature activates the detector when attached to the mounting bracket. At the end of detector life, the unit will chirp and send communication back to control panel, indicating the detector is in need of replacement.

WARNING: After ten years from initial power up, this alarm will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the detector. Replace the alarm immediately. It will not detect CO in this condition.

To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the "Install date" in the space provided, and then write in the "Replace by" date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the unit.

Two labels have been provided at the back of this installation manual that have important information on what to do in case of a CO alarm. Place one label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one near a fresh air source such as a door or window.

Recommended Locations for Detectors

• Locate detectors in all sleeping areas. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional detectors in each sleeping area.

• Locate additional detectors to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one detector on every floor level.

• Locate a detector in every bedroom.

• When mounting a detector on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from

the side wall.

• When mounting the detector on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the

alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the

ceiling.

Locations to Avoid

• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.

• Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen detector is desired, it

should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 32ºF (0C) or rise above 100ºF (37.8C), such as garages and unfinished attics.

• Detectors should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

• Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.

This model is powered by a non-replaceable, long life sealed lithium battery system, and includes SMART HUSHTM control to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.

INSTALLATION / ACTIVATION / ENROLLMENT

WARNING: THIS DETECTOR SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE THIS DETECTOR WILL PREVENT PROPER OPERATION AND RESPONSE TO HAZARDS.

If you are installing detectors and will use the wireless interconnect function, proceed to the next section "WIRELESS INTERCONNECT". If you are not using the wireless interconnect function, then proceed with the following two steps.

STOP

1. After selecting the proper location for the detector, attach the mounting bracket (trim plate) to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the detector with the hallway, or wall, the "A" line on the mounting bracket (trim plate) must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.

2. Install the detector fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the detector in a clockwise direction.

NOTE: Installing the detector on the mounting bracket (trim plate) will automatically activate the battery. The power up sequence is indicated by the LED ring slowly blinking GREEN one time.

NOTE: Detectors will emit a series of slow RED LED blinks as the unit searches for a wireless network. If you are intending to use the detectors without the wireless interconnect function, ignore these notifications, and the wireless interconnect function will eventually turn off (~15 minutes OR to immediately close the network, push the Test/Hush button until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button.

• Network closed sound on each detector confirms network has been closed. GREEN LED flashes once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation.

NOTE: The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can only be discharged at the end of unit life. If the detector is removed from the mounting plate, the battery will remain active. See Permanently Disable Detector / Discharge Battery section to de-energize the detector.

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT

A maximum of 24 compatible devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke detectors and/or 18 detectors total (smoke, CO, smoke/CO combination, heat, etc.).

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT MODEL COMPATIBILITY

The following Interlogix model can be interconnected using wireless interconnect:

• SDX-135Z

• Maximum distance between wireless interconnect models is 300 feet in open air.

Set up a Wireless Detector Network (Wireless Interconnect)

Creating a wireless interconnect network is a simple process, with intelligent “selfenrollment” features.

1. Remove all wireless detectors from their packaging (suggest using a table and activating all detectors in a group).

2. Power on all detectors by attaching the detectors onto the mounting bracket (trim plate) to activate the battery, or by carefully turning the activation wheel with a screwdriver. See Figure 3.

Figure 3

• The GREEN LED will fade on and off once, then the RED LED will begin

fading on/off every 3 seconds.

NOTE: If no further steps are taken within 15 minutes of initial power up, the wireless function will turn off. The unit will then perform as a standard single station detector.

NOTE: At any time during wireless setup, if you have a problem, reset the unit's wireless settings as described in section “Resetting a Detector’s Wireless Settings”

3. Push and hold the Test/Hush button on any one detector until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button. This detector will automatically create a new wireless network.

• A brief series of quick GREEN LED blinks will occur and then the GREEN LED

will fade on/off every second on the button-pushed detector (network creator).

4. Wait for the other wireless detectors to join the wireless network.

• A brief series of quick GREEN LED blinks will occur and then the GREEN LED

will fade on/off approximately every 3 seconds.

NOTE: At this point, you can push/release the test button once on any detector, and the RED LED will flash the number of enrolled detectors.

5. Wait for the network setup to timeout (approximately 15 minutes), OR to immediately close the network, push the Test/Hush button until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button.

• Network closed sound on each detector confirms network has been closed.

GREEN LED flashes once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation.

6. After selecting the proper location for your detector, attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the detector with the hallway,

or wall, the "A" line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.

• Install the detector fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the

detector in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The detector will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

7. The detector is now activated. After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing section.

Adding Detectors to an Existing Wireless Interconnected Network

For various reasons, you might want to add additional detectors to your existing wireless interconnection network.

1. Remove the new detector from its packaging.

2. Place and hold a magnet for four seconds on the cover of an existing detector in the network at the designated location per figure 4. The detector will beep once when the magnet is detected, then the detector will beep twice and the button will start flashing the RED LED rapidly to indicate the proper mode has been entered to reset the wireless interconnect settings.

3. Push and hold the test button on any existing detector until two beeps are heard (approximately four seconds), and then release the button.

• The button-pushed detector will cause the GREEN LED to fade on/off on each

existing detector to signal that the wireless interconnection network has been opened.

NOTE: From this point, you have fifteen (15) minutes to power up the new detector.

3. Power up the new wireless unit by twisting the detector onto the mounting bracket (trim plate) to activate the battery, or by carefully turning the activation wheel with a screwdriver. See Figure 3.

• The new unit's RED LED will fade on/off every three seconds as it searches

for the network.

• A slow GREEN LED fading on/off confirms the new unit has found and joined

the existing wireless interconnection network.

4. Wait fifteen (15) minutes for the network setup to timeout, OR to immediately close the network, push and hold the test button until two beeps are heard (approximately four seconds), and then release the button.

• GREEN LED flashes once every 60 seconds on the new detector to indicate

normal operation.

5. After selecting the proper location for your detector, attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the detector with the hallway, or wall, the "A" line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall mounted.

• Install the detector fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the

detector in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The detector will mount to the bracket in four positions (every 90 degrees).

6. The detector is now activated. After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing section.

Resetting a Detector’s Wireless Interconnect Settings

If you experience a delay or problem during wireless interconnection setup, you might need to start over as if the detector is first removed from its packaging. Also, this "outof-box" mode can be used to attempt to reset/clear a network error condition.

1. Place and hold a magnet for 4 seconds on the cover at the designated location per Figure 4. The detector will chirp once when the magnet is detected, then the detector will chirp twice and the button will start flashing the RED LED rapidly to indicate the proper mode has been entered to reset the wireless settings.

Figure 4

2. Press and hold the Test/Hush button for approximately eight seconds while the RED LED is rapidly flashing. After four seconds, two beeps will occur (do not release the button). After eight seconds, three beeps will occur. The button can now be released.

3. Observe two cycles of RED LED on/off, one cycle of GREEN LED on/off

4. The RED LED will begin fading on/off every three seconds.

5. If no further steps are taken within 15 minutes of resetting the detector to "Out-ofBox" mode, the RED LED will fade on/off for approximately 30-40 seconds, and the interconnect function will turn off. The detector will then perform as a standard standalone alarm.

Enrolling a Detector with a Panel

The following section provides a general guideline for programming (enrolling) the unit into control panel memory. Refer to the panel documentation for complete programming details.

1. Set the control panel to into installer programming mode

2. When requested to broadcast a signal from the detector to the panel, remove the detector from the mounting bracket (trim plate). A tamper message will be transmitted for smoke, CO, and freeze devices.

3. After waiting approximately 1 minute, reinstall the detector on the mounting bracket (trim plate). The unit will start chirping rapidly if not re-installed on the trim plate after 3 minutes.

4. Exit from installer programming mode

NOTE: Each enrollment type (smoke, CO and Freeze) is programmed with a unique TX ID when manufactured. Labels included on the outside and inside of the packaging provide these IDs. The unique ID is enrolled into the control panel at the time of installation. Use these IDs where appropriate in the specific panel being used enrollment instructions.

Verify programming and unit-to-panel communication

Before mounting, verify that the desired unit location provides good RF communication to the panel.

To verify programming and RF communication

1. Put the panel into Dealer Sensor Test mode (refer to the specific panel installation instructions)

2. Take the detector to the desired mounting location.

3. Press and release the Test button. A quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed.

4. Listen for the appropriate response from system sirens to determine signal integrity from the unit to the panel (refer to the specific panel installation instructions)

5. Exit from Dealer Sensor Test mode.
