2. Activation and RF Interlink Network

This model is capable of interlinking with other PSA LIFWMB2 models in domestic residential applications. When

one RF interlink unit sounds an alarm, all other compatible RF units in the RF interlink network will alarm. Follow

the steps in section 2.1 to interlink up to 24 units in your interlink network. If you have problems during setup,

see section 2.3 to start over.

NOTE : Wireless units will emit a series of LED flashes as the unit(s) search for an RF interlink network.

If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these notifications, and

the wireless function will eventually turn off. You can turn the wireless function on again at a later

date if desired. See Section 2.2.

Definitions of key terminology:

Coordinator: The wireless network master unit that is the key communicator with the other wireless

units. This assignment remains until the coordinator is reset (section 2.3). The coordinator unit should

be installed in a central location of the residence.

RF Device (RFD): The other wireless units that connect with the Coordinator.

General Reset mode: Resets a unit to when it was powered on for the first time after being removed from the

package.

2.1 Setting Up an RF Interlink Network (Enrolment)

3. Wireless FAQs

ID FAQ Answer

1How does “desk enrolment” work? Connect ﬁrst unit onto smoke alarm to power it up. Push LINK button

twice to open network. Power up remaining units. Wait for each unit to

join. Push LINK button twice to close network. See section 2.1.

2What happens if units are powered

up for the ﬁrst time but no buttons

are pressed?

Units will search for a network for 15 minutes after which all units will go

into standby and LED off.

To recover, two quick LINK button presses to restart join mode on all units

that have timed out.Return to section 2.1.

3What happens if a RFD doesn’t ﬁnd

a network during the enrolment

process (out of range, defective

radio, not made coordinator)

Unit will go into standby and LED will ﬂash every 2 seconds indicating

Network not found. The unit will then become a stand alone smoke alarm

with no interlink.

4What happens if a Coordinator

doesn’t ﬁnd any RFD to join after

being set to coordinator.

Coordinator times out after 15 min, becomes a stand alone smoke alarm

with no interlink.

RFD times out after 15 minutes, becomes a stand alone smoke alarm.

Units LED will ﬂash every 2 seconds indicating that they are not joined.

5What happens if an RFD drops from

the network?

The RFD will enter fault mode after approximately 30min.

6What happens if an RFD drops

from the network and comes back

online?

Nothing within ~30min.

After 30 minutes it will go into error mode - network fault. Once the RFD

comes back online, two LINK button presses on any unit in the network

will allow it to re-join.

7What happens if the coordinator

drops from the network?

IF no other units can hear the coordinator AND RFD1 can hear all the

others: RFD unit 1 becomes the coordinator after 30 min and other RFD’s

will re-join.

of Red LED ﬂashes and report to customer support.

12 What happens if the user puts 2

units into coordinator mode during

desk enrolment?

The user will have 2 coordinators. Corrective action: See section 2.3 to

reset one of the coordinators to become an RFD.

13 Is it possible to check how many

units are enrolled into the network

While in join mode, press and release LINK button on any joined unit. LED

will blink out number of units.

14 Is it possible to check if a unit is the

coordinator or an RFD
