INTRODUCTION The FW-SMK as a part of the FREEWAVE wireless security system is an advanced, fully supervised SMOKE DETECTOR transmitter. FW-SMK
The FW-SMK is photoelectric smoke detector designed to sense smoke, but not gas, heat nor flame. It provides early warning of developing fire by sounding an alarm w ith its built-in alarm horn, and by transmitting a coded alarm signal to a receiver. The FW-SMK is powered by an internal, long life 9 Volt A lkaline or Lithium battery.
Each FW-SMK has an unique ID code (24bit). Compatible FreeWave receivers are designed to “learn” the specific ID
FREEWAVE™ WIRELESS
of FW-SMK detectors and respond only to them. Alarm and other data are forwarded to the control panel for specific event indication.
SMOKE DETECTOR
A periodic test transmission for supervision purposes takes place automatically once in 18 min ~ 19 min.
The receiver is informed that the FW-SMK detector is taking an active part in the wireless security system.
It must be borne in mind, though, that effective pre-warning of fire accidents is only possible if the detector is located, installed and
maintained properly as described in this manual.
WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which means that it should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements or another apartment in multi-family buildings,
unless they’re already working detectors in each family unit. Smoke
detectors, placed in common areas outside the individual living unit,
such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit should set up its own detector.
WARNING: This detector is not meant to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire detection and
alarm systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for

§ Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans. Fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke detectors.
§ Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a detector.

§ Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from such lights. WARNING: Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the detector to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt to clean the detector as described in this manual. WARNING: Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing. FIG. 4: Installation RSSI – RF SIGNAL INDICATION
