wireless transceiver will provide the interconnect PCAs with the signal(s) necessary to activate the proper
alarm(s).
If the unit uses the RXT-320 Transceiver, the rotary switch on the Wireless Alarm Interconnect PCA is used to
set the Modbus Address of the alarm unit. If more than one alarm station is used in the system, each alarm
station must have a unique address for the alarm station to be recognized on the network properly. This switch
is not used with the RXT-300 Transceivers.
1.1 Strobe/Horn Alarm
Several variations of Smart Wireless alarm stations are available. The strobe-horn combination and the Single
Strobe versions are used with the wireless SW-AV2-DV1 Alarm Station. The unit ia UL listed and CSA
certified for Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D; Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G.
Figure 3 Strobe/Horn Combo
The horn in the alarm stations has 32 possible combinations of sounds that are selectable by switch settings
inside the alarm. Horn only units provided a dual horn capability. Horn one and horn two can be set to
different tones via the switch settings; SW1 is used for horn 1 and SW2 for horn two settings. These horns can
be initiated individually, but if both horns are active, horn two has priority. Refer to Section 3.0 for a list of the
available switch settings.
1.2 Smart Battery Pack
The Wireless Alarm Station assembly also comes with a battery pack that allows the assembly to be remotely
mounted without the need for any cables because of its wireless operation. The battery pack provided is
Detcon’s plug-in Smart Battery Pack which provides an output of 12VDC (See Figure 4). The battery pack
consists of rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries and is equipped with integrated safety electronics that include
fuel gauge, voltage, current and temperature monitoring circuits. This “smart” circuitry continuously monitors
the battery’s condition and reports critical status information to the wireless transceiver. The battery pack is
designed to plug onto an 8-pin Beau connector on the terminal board and should not be exposed to outside
elements without being housed and protected. Only Detcon products specifically designed to utilize these
battery packs should be used. Operating periods before recharge can be as long as 2-3 months and battery life
can be up to 5 years before battery pack replacement is required. Improper use of the battery pack may be
hazardous to personnel or the environment and will void the warranty.
