detector only with a transmitter. The detector complies with UL268 and UL521. The
detector is fully supervised for tamper, low batteries, chamber contamination, low
temperature and RF signal integrity. The smoke detector is powered by 3 AAA batteries as
listed under the specifications section of this manual and the label on the product. The
Model 325/320 is intended to be used with Commercial Wireless Systems International,
LLC Model CP-3500D Fire Alarm Control Panel. Refer to the CP-3500D FACP installation
instructions part number IM-C3KA(DA) for additional details.
IMPORTANT: Smoke detectors must be tested and maintained regularly following NFPA
72 requirements. At a minimum, cleaning should be performed annually.
Programming:
The 325/320 must be enrolled into the CP-3500D Fire Alarm Control Panel before installing
the device. The Model 325/320 will not report Alarms, Supervisory or trouble signals
unless it is enrolled into the CP-3500D control panel. The smoke detector can be
enrolled at the control panel or any enrolled repeater. Place the CP-3500D FACP in
enrollment mode then install the batteries in the smoke detector observing polarity. The
model 325/320 serial number will be displayed on the CP-3500D FACP. Refer to the CP-
3500D control panel installation instructions for further details on enrollment and transmitter
programming options. After the model 325/320 is enrolled, remove the batteries and
reinstall them only at the transmitters intended mounting location.
Installation:
Select an accessible location that is not prone to tampering or accidental damage. The
Model 325/320 must be installed and maintained in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Standards (NFPA), the National Electrical Code and all local
fire and electrical requirements. The mounting surface should be relatively flat and
capable of accepting screws or anchors. The smoke detector is to be installed in an indoor
dry location. Exposure to weather or corrosive conditions may damage the unit. Smoke
detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. Perform the signal test described in this
manual prior to and after permanently mounting the unit. Note: If the detector is
mounted to a removable ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fasteners
to prevent tile removal or mount the detector across a ceiling panel support as shown in

Alarm Operation:
When the detector senses smoke (325) or heat (325/320) the Red LED flashes once a
second, the internal sounder turns on in the temporal pattern (325 Only) and the following
occurs:
1. An initial alarm signal is transmitted.
2. A 60 second delay occurs. If during this delay the alarm condition is reset, a restore
signal is sent ending the alarm cycle.
3. The continued alarm condition causes a repeat alarm transmission.
4. Another 60 second delay as in step 2 occurs.
5. Step 4 repeats at 60 second intervals until reset.
Alarm Testing
Detectors must be tested after installation and following maintenance or batteries
replacement. NOTE: Before testing, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is
being performed and the system will be temporarily out of service. Place the CP-
3500D control panel in test to prevent any unwanted alarms (refer to the CP-3500D
manual). Perform tests A and B and C below to properly test the 325 detector. Perform test
C only for the 320 detector. If a detector fails any of the tests below, it should be cleaned as
outlined in the Maintenance section. If the detector still fails, it should be replaced.
A. Test Switch
Note: This test will only function if the detector is operating within its proper sensitivity limits
and is not in a low battery condition.
The purpose of this test is to check the functionality of the circuitry. It will not cause an
alarm signal to be transmitted.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing. (Figure 3)
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds.
3. If the detector is within the listed sensitivity limits, the following will occur:
a. The Red LED will flash
b. The sounder activates with the temporal pattern.
4. Perform step B below.
B. Smoke Entry Test
Note: This test will cause an alarm signal to be transmitted. Wait at least two minutes after
power up before performing this test.
1. Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector and gently blow
smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned aerosol is also an acceptable
method
2. Verify the alarm signal was received at the control panel.
C. Direct Heat Test
1. Using a hair dryer or heat gun, direct the heat toward the thermistor, holding the heat
source 12 inches away to avoid damage to the plastic housing.
2. The LED on the detector will flash and an alarm signal will be sent to the panel when
temperature reaches the alarm set point. (135° F)
If all tests pass, remove the panel from test mode (Refer to the CP-3500D manual) and
notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.

Figure 3 LEDS, Sounder, Test Switch and Signal Test Locations
Signal Test:
The test must be performed while the smoke detector is held in its intended mounting
location. Install batteries in the smoke detector. Initiate the test by placing a strong magnet
on the smoke detector housing at the location shown in figure 3. The model 325/320 piezo
sounder will beep once. A delay of up to 15 seconds will occur followed by either one or
two beeps. One beep indicates an unacceptable location and two beeps indicate an
acceptable location. If only one beep is heard then relocate the model 325/320 mounting
position closer to the nearest repeater or control panel and perform the test again. Continue
this procedure until 2 beeps are achieved. Do not mount the smoke detector unless 2
beeps are heard when performing 5 consecutive signal tests. This test must be performed
before and after transmitter installation. Note: A CWSI model AR-5 repeater or CP-3500D
Control Panel must be powered up, installed and enrolled before running this test.
Test Switch Functions (325 Only):
This switch has multiple functions and is located on the detector housing as shown in figure
3. To activate the switch, push and hold for 5 seconds. Pressing this switch will not cause
an alarm at the control panel.
The functions of the Test Switch are:
1. Test the functionality of the detectors circuitry when pressed while the detector is in
standby.
2. Silence the detector sounder for 5-10 minutes if pressed anytime while the sounder is
turned on in the temporal pattern.
Low batteries:
The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is powered by 3 AAA Duracell Procell or 3 AAA Energizer
E92 batteries (included). The detector regularly checks for low batteries. If low batteries are
detected, the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which displays
the detector’s ID. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector will blink every 12 seconds. Be
sure to replace all of the batteries with fresh ones.

Batteries Installation and Replacement:
Warning: Always install three new batteries of one of the approved types as listed in
the Specifications section of this manual and the product label. When batteries are
first inserted, a low battery test is performed. If the batteries pass the test, the LED’s should
indicate the power up sequence. If the power up sequence is not indicated replace the
batteries. If the issue still exists replace the detector
To replace the batteries:
1. Place the CP-3500D Control Panel in Test mode to prevent any unwanted alarms. (Refer
to the CP-3500D manual)
2. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise.
Remove the batteries and dispose of properly. If the Tamper Resistant feature was
implemented during installation then follow the instructions under that section for removing
the detector.
3. To insure proper power down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing
new batteries.
4. Install 3 new AAA batteries of a type listed in the specifications section of this manual in
the batteries compartment following the polarity diagram inside the compartment. A power
up reset trouble signal should be indicated on the CP-3500D Control Panel within 60
seconds of installing the new batteries on an enrolled detector. A tamper trouble will also
be indicated on the CP-3500D if the smoke alarm is not attached to the base.
5. Reinstall the smoke detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector clockwise.
6. The LED’s should indicate Power up and then Normal Standby conditions as shown in
the LED status and sounder table.
7. Test the detector for alarm operation described in the Alarm Testing section of this

8. If the detector does not function as described in items 6+7 then start over at step 2. If it
still doesn’t operate correctly then replace the entire unit.
9. Remove the panel from test mode. (Refer to the CP-3500D manual)
Tamper:
The Model 325/320 contains a built in contact that will cause a tamper signal to be
transmitted if the detector is removed from its mounting position. Upon detector removal, a
tamper signal is transmitted and repeated every 90 seconds until the detector is mounted
on its base.
Power Up Reset:
The Model 325/320 will report this trouble when first powered up. This is normal. If a power
up reset occurs any time after the initial indication then the transmitter is malfunctioning.
Replace the unit.
Test Failure:
The Model 325/320 transmits a periodic test signal to the CP-3500D. This trouble condition
will be displayed within 200 seconds on the CP-3500D control panel if it does not receive
the test transmission. The detector may be out of reception range of a repeater or CP-
