Wireless Smoke Detector September 2012
Installation Manual

1. Introduction
The SA-61 is a battery-operated Wireless Smoke Detector.
433.92 MHz or 868.35 MHz.
The smoke sensor unit can easily be plugged into or detached from the
wireless
base unit (AS-60) for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
A mechanical key on the sensor is designed to avoid mismatching or
incorrect installation of the sensor and base. The sensor chamber is
engineered to sense smoke from a wide range of combustion sources.
The chamber is well protected from insects and dust contamination.
A LED indicator on the sensor unit shows the operating status and
Alarm mode, while an RF LED is located in the base unit and indicates
RF transmissions, such as alarms and tamper.
The SA-61 smoke detector has a low profile, as well as a professional
and trendy appearance.

3. Installation
3.1 Choosing a Mounting Location
A smoke detector should be installed according to NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) Standard 72. For complete coverage in
residential units, smoke detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls,
storage areas, and basements. At the least, one detector should be
placed on each floor and in each sleeping area.
Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible
or at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from any wall or corner.
Do NOT locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled
ceilings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit
from detecting smoke. Avoid areas with turbulent air flow such as near
doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may
prevent smoke from entering the unit and affected the accuracy.
3.2 Smoke Detector Limitations
Smoke detectors will not sense a fire if the smoke does not reach
the sensor.
Smoke detectors may not be heard. Be sure to locate the smoke
detector within hearing distance.
Smoke from a slow fire rises slowly and may not reach the smoke
detector until the fire gets bigger.
To keep your smoke detectors working properly, be sure to
maintain the unit according to manufacturer’s recommendations
and UL and NFPA standards.
It is available in two frequencies:

the alarm level for a zone)

3.3 Disassembly
The unit arrives assembled, so you must disassemble the unit into its
three pieces before you can mount it.
To disassemble:
1. Turn the sensor counter-clockwise to the “Loose” position as
shown in Figure 2 and gently remove the sensor.
Figure 2: Loose and Lock Positions
2. Gently separate the top part of the base unit from the lower part.
3.4 Mounting the Base Unit
The AS-60 base unit provides different punch out options for different
gang box standards for mounting to 3 1/2-inch and 4-inch octagonal,
single-gang, and 4-inch square back boxes (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Punch Out Options for Various Gang Box Standards
To mount the base unit:
1. Mark two mounting points in the wall.
2. Drill into the marked points and insert wall plugs/gang box.
3. Screw and fix the base unit.
3.5 Inserting the Battery
The battery compartment is designed to meet UL requirement. A lever
has been inserted to avoid attaching the sensor unit without the
battery being inserted.
To insert the battery:
1. Load the battery into the base compartment as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Battery Installation
3.6 Assembly
Once you have mounted the base unit and inserted the battery, you
are ready to close the unit.
To assemble the unit:
1. Replace the top part of the base unit with its bottom part that has
been mounted by lining up the two lines as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Base Cover Insertion
2. Attach the sensor unit onto the base unit as shown in Figure 6 and
turn the sensor clockwise to the Lock position (Figure 2).

4. Testing
Once the detector is installed, you should test the unit.
4.1 General Testing
To test the unit:
1. Press and hold the Test button on the sensor. The following
occurs:
Both LEDs flash quickly
The Piezoelectric sounder is activated
The smoke detector transmits an alarm to the wireless alarm
panel
Release the Test button to return to Normal mode.
4.2 RF Testing
To test the RF connection:
1. Remove the sensor.
2. Remove the top cover of the base unit.
3. Press the S3 button (Figure 7) for more than 5 seconds.
Figure 7: S3 Button
The unit sends 10 RF messages to the system every four seconds
and then returns to Normal mode
.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
The unit runs a self-check for cleanliness every 43 seconds. If three
consecutive tests fail, the unit beeps three times every 43 seconds.
To clean the unit, pass a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment
gently over the front frilled sections and the sides of the smoke
detector.
5.2 Battery Replacement
When the detector’s battery is low, the detector beeps once every 43
seconds. If the detector is connected to a wireless security network, it
The smoke detector continues to operate with a low battery for at least
7 days.
Replace the battery when a low battery is indicated.
