WLS916-433 Series
Wireless Smoke Detector
Installation and Operating Instructions
Read this instruction sheet thoroughly
before installation and use of the
WLS916-433 Wireless Smoke Detector
Introduction
The WLS916-433 is a wireless photoelectric smoke detector with a
fixed temperature heat detector and an internal piezoelectric
alarm. Three version are available: US version (UL), Canadian version (ULC) and an International version (EU).
LED/Test Button
Piezo Sounder
Note: This feature is intended to provide a warning if the environment is persistently close to the alarm threshold and provide more
time to investigate and either escape or correct the situation.
Smoke - Drift Compensation
The detector automatically compensates for long-term environmentally induced changes to maintain a constant smoke sensitivity.
When the drift compensation has reached its high or low limit of
adjustment, the detector will go into the trouble state.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal level
exceeds the heat alarm threshold (135ºF/57.22ºC); and will automatically restore when the heat signal level falls below the heat
alarm threshold (restore). During an alarm the LED will flash 1/second and the sounder will sound the the evacuation temporal pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).
Batteries
The WLS916-433 is powered by two, 3 VDC lithium batteries.
Do NOT use batteries other than those listed.
The low battery threshold is set so that the batteries will provide
not less than 14 days of operation and at that point the detector
will send a 'low battery' signal. If the battery is still low 7 days after
falling through the low battery threshold, the horn will 'chirp' once
every 48 seconds until battery failure. During the first 7 days after
low battery detection, (non-chirp period), if the detector is tested
or goes into alarm, the horn will 'chirp' once the test or alarm is
restored and remain 'chirping' until battery failure.
Tamper
The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a
'tamper' transmission. The tamper condition is restored after the
detector is mounted on the plate.
Alignment Marks
Operation
Approximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke or
heat alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also performs
self diagnostics, and checks for tampers and faults. During normal
operation the LED will flash every 48 seconds and the sounder will
not sound.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke detector has a nominal fixed alarm sensitivity of
approximately 2.5%/ft. obscuration. The smoke detector will go
into alarm when the signal level exceeds the 'alarm' threshold and
automatically restore when the signal level falls below the alarm
'restore' threshold. During an alarm the LED will flash 1/second
and the sounder will sound the the evacuation temporal pattern
(UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).
The smoke detector has a preset warning threshold at 75% of the
alarm threshold. If the signal level stays above this threshold, but
below the alarm threshold, for more than 120 seconds, the detector will go into the 'warning' state. If the signal level falls below
the early warning 'restore' threshold, the detector will restore to its
normal state automatically. If the signal level rises above the alarm
threshold, the detector will go into alarm. The LED will flash and
the sounder will chirp every 48 seconds when in the warning state.
Wireless Transmissions
A supervisory message is transmitted at 64 minute intervals (12
minutes in EU models) to the control panel. If the signal is not
received the control panel determines that the detector is missing.
The detector transmits the following:
•
Alarm / Alarm Restore - (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted
at time of occurrence.
•
Tamper / Tamper Restore - (tamper switch activated) 10
second maximum delay on restore before transmission.
•
Low Battery - (battery voltage falls below threshold). The
batteries are tested & transmitted at the time of a supervisory
or other transmissions.
•
Trouble - (detector fault or sensor compensation limit
reached). Troubles are transmitted at the time of occurrence
(one trouble per supervisory interval).

Installation Instructions
1 Smoke Detector Placement
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1M (30 feet) apart
as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling
height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings,
etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULS-S553M86 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
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.
Do NOT locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
Do NOT locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises
above 38ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (41ºF).
Install Smoke detectors in accordance
with paragraph 2.1.1.1 of NFPA 72,
Chapter 2.
“2-2.1.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be
installed outside of each sleeping area in
the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and
on each additional story of the family living
unit, including basements and excluding
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new
construction, a smoke detector also shall be
installed in each sleeping room.”
4 Test Unit
The test can be initiated by pressing the test button or activating
the internal reed switch with a magnet for a minimum of 5 seconds. Alarm activation will be indicated by the flashing LED, The
Sounder, and transmission of the alarm reporting code to the central station. The detector will restore to normal after the test button is released or the magnet removed.
Note: Allow a minimum of 20 seconds between test activations
Note: If the detector is in one of the following states when a test is
initiated; it will not enter an alarm state.
1. Tamper, (detector not installed on mounting plate).
2. Compensation Trouble.
3. Failure of Heat or Smoke detector.
4. Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat
alarm
Device Enrollment
The 6 digit serial number located on the back of the smoke detector housing must be enrolled into the alarm control panel with
Installer programming. Refer to the receiver Installation Manual
for details.
Mounting
Detector Installation:

Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is recommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a
family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1.
2.

4.
Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition?
Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If
you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers,
and in a cool and well ventilated area? Cleaning the unit with
flammable liquids should be avoided.
Are hazardous materials such as matches out of the reach of
children?
Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed,
clean, and in good working order? If in doubt, have a professional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and
the time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very important
that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the
escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within
the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention
should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without
opening the interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:
•
Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are
easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and that
the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
•
If opening the exit or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for their rescue
should be developed. This plan includes making sure that
those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the
fire warning signal.
•
If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder
or rope should be provided, as well as training in its use.
•
Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to
remove snow from exterior patio doors in the winter and that
outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
•
The family should have a predetermined assembly point
where everyone can be accounted for; for example, across
the street or at a neighbor’s house.
•
Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
•
A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to
rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time.
Once outside, do not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire
Department.
•
•
Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should
an emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do.
Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when
there are more or fewer family members in the home or if
there are changes to the house.
Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Department and request further information on home fire safety
and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Testing Your Smoke Detector
Follow the test procedure described here or contact
your smoke detector dealer or installer for testing
instructions.
DSC recommends that your entire alarm system be
tested at least once a week to verify the operation of
all system functions.
Smoke Detector Unit Test
To test the smoke detector, press and hold the test button on the
front of the unit. When the button is pressed, the unit’s alarm
should sound. When the button is released, the alarm should
cease. If this does not occur, check that the batteries are the correct type, in good condition and are installed correctly (see the
‘Battery Installation’ section below).
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector,
check the unit’s sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To
test the sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stick
around the outside of the unit until a generous amount of smoke
enters the sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If the smoke detector does not function properly, call your smoke detector installer or
dealer for service.
Maintenance
The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance.
If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment.
If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no
user serviceable parts inside the unit. Never paint the
unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
If you are planning renovations or repainting, contact
your installer and ask that the unit be temporarily
removed until work is complete.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of
dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service; contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.

Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a
number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly
installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the
fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may
not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is
insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Warning: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be completely
tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to,
criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as
expected.
