DETECTOR PLACEMENT
For specific information regarding detector spacing, placement and special applications refer to your specific national standards.
It is strongly advised to mount the device as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings, etc. as well as
cable conductors, cables (especially from computers), otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop. The device should not be
installed near electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with the reception quality.
1) Select the position of the detector before installing and fixing its supporting base. Verify, from that position, that the
communication between the detector and FDW2W is correctly established and working (see the COMMUNICATION
QUALITY ASSESSMENT paragraph).
2) Install and fix the base, in the selected position, with the screws provided (Picture 5 and Picture 6).
3) Insert the detector into the base (Picture 5).
TAMPER DETECTION FEATURE
The SWF1000 detector is provided with a tamper switch and, in case of removal of the detector from its base, it sends a tamper
detection message to the control panel (Picture 9).
RESET
To reset the detector from alarm or fault condition it is necessary to send the reset command from the control panel.

- Via Giulietti 8, 20132, Milan, Italy www.teledata-i.com [email protected] SWF1000 (V1.0) WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
This product uses high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant to environmental deterioration.
However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to replace detectors to avoid the risk of reduced performance caused
by external factors. Ensure that these detectors are only used with compatible control panels. Detection systems must be checked,
serviced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.
Smoke detectors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application advice should be sought for spe cial
risks. Detectors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist between them and the fire location and may be affected by special environ-
mental conditions. Refer to and follow National Codes of Practice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards.
Appropriate Risk Assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
WARRANTY
This product is supplied with the benefit of a limited 3 Year Warranty relating to faulty materials or manufacturing defects, effective
from the production date indicated on each product. This warranty is invalidated by mechanical or electrical damage caused in the
field by incorrect handling or usage. Product must be returned, via your authorized supplier, for repair or replacement, together with
full information on any problem identified.
Full details on our Warranty & Products Returns Policy can be obtained upon request.
The warranty does not cover the provided batteries.
To remove the blocked detector from the base, insert a tool, like a small screwdriver, into the hole and remove the detector
(Picture 7).
WIRELESS DETECTOR ANTI-TAMPER BLOCK AND REMOVAL
The base for the SWF1000 wireless detector has a special anti-tamper device block. To lock the sensing device onto the base, cut
off the small plastic lug on the plastic blocking grip on the detector base (Picture 6).

MAINTENANCE
1) Before starting any maintenance work, isolate and disable the system, in order to avoid accidental and unwanted alarm
conditions.
2) Remove the detector from its mounting base to allow inspection and servicing at ground level and in good light.
Inspect the smoke entry ports around the sensor and use a small, soft bristle brush to dislodge any obvious contaminants such
as insects, spider webs, hairs, etc.
3) Use a small vacuum tube or dry, clean, compressed air to suck up or blow any remaining small particles away from the
smoke entry screen area.
4) Wipe the exterior housing of the detector with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to remove any surface film that can later
attract airborne contaminants.
5) After all detectors have been inspected and serviced, reinstall them in their mounting bases, re-apply power to the system and
check correct operation as described under the TESTING paragraph.
FAULT SELF-TEST
The SWF1000 detector periodically performs a self-test and, if a fault condition is detected, a fault message is sent to the control
panel via FDW2W.
The fault condition is locally signaled by the visual LED indicator located at the center of the detector (see Table 2).
A fault condition is determined by:
a) Fault on the optical analysis path (chamber, electronic circuit, etc).
b) High level of contamination inside the optical chamber.
c) Low batteries level.
COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT
It is possible to assess the wireless communication quality of the sensor by using a testing feature built in the device.
After a successful linking operation, by commuting the Link-Programming switch on the ON position, the sensor’s indicator will start
blinking according to table 3.
Always remember to reposition the switch to 1 after the assessment operation: device will NOT work operatively while the
switch is commuted on the ON position.
Communication quality Assessment Device’s indication
No connection Fail Two red blinks
Link margin is less than 10 dB Poor One red blink
Robust communication with link margin from 10 dB to 20 dB Good One green blink
Robust communication with link margin over 20 dB Excellent Two green blinks
Table 3
TESTING
The SWF1000 detector has been designed to permit a magnetic functional test. When the test is performed with an appropriate
magnet, a fire alarm message is sent to the control panel via FDW2W.
To perform the magnetic test put and hold the magnet near the surface of the indicated area (Picture 8). The detector must enter into
alarm condition, activate the central LED indicator (blink red as per Table 2) and transmit the alarm message to the control panel.
The detector must be reset by the specific command on the control panel (see the RESET paragraph).
All detectors must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
