RISCO Group WL Supervised Smoke - Manual (Page 4)

Wireless Supervisor Photoelectric Smoke Detector 4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RISCO Group's smoke detector is single station, photoelectric smoke detector with
a built-in supervised wireless transmitter.
When sufficient smoke is detected, or the test feature is operated, the detector will
sound its alarm horn and the transmitter will send an ALARM message. The Alarm
output in the receiver will remain activated until the alarm condition clears.
The smoke alarm base lock discourages unauthorized removal of the smoke alarm
by requiring a screwdriver to remove the alarm from the base.
The smoke alarm provides the following signals to the control panel:
♦ Alarm
♦ Alarm
restore
♦ Low
battery
♦ Tamper
♦ Supervision
WARNINGS:
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 there are
already working detectors in each family unit. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas
outside of 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
detectors.
This detector is not to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or
commercial buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire
detection and alarm systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire
detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels. The
same is true of dormitories, hospitals; nursing homes or group homes of any kind, even if
they were once single - family homes. Please refer NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code,
NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke detector requirements for fire protection in
buildings not defined as “households”.
