WS4916 Series Wireless Smoke DetectorInstallation and Operating InstructionsRead this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the WS4916 Wireless Smoke DetectorIntroductionThe WS4916 is a wireless photoelectric smoke detector with afixed temperature heat detector and an internal piezoelectricalarm. Three version are available: US version (UL), Canadian ver-sion (ULC) and an International version (EU).OperationApproximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke orheat alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also performsself diagnostics, and checks for tampers and faults. During normaloperation the LED will flash every 50 seconds and the sounder willnot sound.Smoke AlarmThe smoke detector will go into alarm when the signal levelexceeds the 'alarm' threshold and automatically restore when thesignal level falls below the alarm 'restore' threshold. During analarm the LED will flash 1/second and the sounder will sound theevacuation temporal pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).The smoke detector has a preset warning threshold at 75% of thealarm threshold. If the signal level stays above this threshold, butbelow the alarm threshold, for more than 120 seconds, the detec-tor will go into the 'warning' state. If the signal level falls belowthe early warning 'restore' threshold, the detector will restore toits normal state automatically. If the signal level rises above thealarm threshold, the detector will go into alarm. The LED will flashand the sounder will chirp every 50 seconds when in the warningstate.NOTE: This feature is intended to provide a warning if the envi-ronment is persistently close to the alarm threshold and providemore time to investigate and either escape or correct the situa-tion.Smoke - Drift CompensationThe detector automatically compensates for long-term environ-mentally induced changes to maintain a constant smoke sensitiv-ity. When the drift compensation has reached its high or low limitof adjustment, the detector will go into the trouble state.Heat AlarmThe heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal levelexceeds the heat alarm threshold (135ºF/57ºC); and will automat-ically restore when the heat signal level falls below the heat alarmthreshold (restore). During an alarm the LED will flash 1/secondand the sounder will sound the evacuation temporal pattern (UL,EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).TamperThe removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a'tamper' transmission. The tamper condition is restored after thedetector is mounted on the plate.Wireless TransmissionsA supervisory message is transmitted at 64 minute intervals (12minutes in EU model) to the control panel. If the signal is notreceived the control panel determines that the detector is missing.The detector transmits the following:•Alarm / Alarm Restore - (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted attime of occurrence.•Tamper / Tamper Restore - (tamper switch activated) 10 secondmaximum delay on restore before transmission. •Low Battery - (battery voltage falls below threshold). The batteriesare tested & transmitted at the time of a supervisory or other trans-missions.•Trouble - (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached).Troubles are transmitted at the time of occurrence (one troubleper supervisory interval).BatteriesThe WS4916 is powered by two, 3VDC lithium batteries.Do NOT use batteries other than those listed.The low battery threshold is set so the batteries will provide notless than 14 days of operation and at that point the detector willsend a 'low battery' signal. If the battery is still low 7 days afterfalling through the low battery threshold, the horn will 'chirp'once every 48 seconds until battery failure. During the first 7 daysafter low battery detection, (non-chirp period), if the detector istested or goes into alarm, the horn will 'chirp' once the test oralarm is restored and remain 'chirping' until battery failure.Installation InstructionsInstallationThe WS4916 Series wireless Smoke detector shall be installed andused within an environment that provides the pollution degreemax 2 and overvoltages category II in NON HAZARDOUS LOCA-TIONS, indoor only. The equipment is designed to be installed bySERVICE PERSONS only; [SERVICE PERSON is defined as a personhaving the appropriate technical training and experience neces-sary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposedin performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks to thatperson or other persons.]1. Smoke Detector PlacementOn smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apartas a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceilingheight, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings,etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72 Chapter 11, CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other appropriate national standards for installa-tion recommendations. •Do NOT locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabledceilings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent theunit from detecting smoke. Avoid areas with turbulent air flow,such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement aroundthe 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 risesabove 38ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (41ºF).Install Smoke detectors inaccordance with NFPA 72,Chapter 11.“Smoke detectors shall beinstalled outside of eachsleeping area in theimmediate vicinity of thebedrooms and on eachadditional story of thefamily living unit, includ-ing basements andexcluding crawl spacesand unfinished attics. Innew construction, asmoke detector also shallbe installed in each sleep-ing room.”LED/Test ButtonPiezo SounderAlignment Marks29034617R008

Remove the side tab from thelocking tab to lock in place (optional). •Removal: Depress tab with a small slotted screwdriver. Rotatedetector counter-clockwise until the alignment marks line up.Remove detector.Installer Compensation ResetCleaning or replacement of the smoke sensor chamber changesthe background signal/noise of the detector; this requires thedrift compensation be reset. Compensation trouble is one of thefaults indicated when the LED indicator is OFF while the sounderis chirping.1. Remove batteries, then short the detector battery contacts for 5seconds to power down unit.2.Replace batteries to power up unit while pressing the test but-ton.3.The tamper switch must not be pressed.4.The LED will flash when 5 seconds has elapsed. Release the testbutton within 2 seconds of the LED flash.5.The LED will flash every 2 seconds for 1 minute. During thisperiod, the detector must be mounted. Allow an additional 2 minutes for the detector to makebackground level checks.6.Test the detector to verify normal operation.5. Test UnitNOTE: The central monitoring station (if used) should be notifiedprior to the test being generated. This will prevent a false alarmand an unnecessary response from the central monitoring sta-tion.Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds minimum.Alarm activation is indicated by the flashing LED, the sounder,and transmission of the alarm signal to the control panel. Thedetector restores to normal when the test button is released.NOTE: Allow a minimum of 20 seconds after power up and ,after test, alarm or tamper restore activations. Do not use testbutton when smoke is present.NOTE: If the detector is in one of the following states when atest is initiated; it will not enter an alarm state.• Tamper, (detector not installed on mounting plate)• Compensation Trouble• Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat alarm.NOTE: Smoke sensitivity of installed detectors can be measuredwithout removal or an alarm being generated using the FSD-100Smoke Detector Test Meter.To test the unit using the FSD-100, set the test meter up to readdevices as per the instructions supplied. Depress the test buttonon the smoke detector for 1 second and release.NOTE: If the test button is held for 5 seconds or longer, an alarmwill be generated.Move the test meter over the center of the detector, wait untilyou hear the test meter beep, remove the unit and the informa-tion can be immediately reviewed. Please see the instructionssupplied with the FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter for moreinformation.6. Device EnrollmentThe 6 digit serial number located on the back of the smokedetector housing must be enrolled into the alarm control panelwith Installer programming. Refer to the receiver InstallationManual for details. For placement tests remove detector frombackplate for one second (tamper) then reattach. Wait at least 30seconds for test result before activating again.Owners InstructionsFire Safety In The HomeMost fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it isrecommended that a household fire safety audit be conductedand a family escape plan be developed.Household Fire Safety Audit1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition? Checkfor frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you areuncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances orhousehold service, have a professional evaluation.2.Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers, andin a cool and well ventilated area? Cleaning the unit with flam-mable liquids should be avoided.3.Are hazardous materials (i.e. matches) out of the reach of chil-dren?4.Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed,clean, and in good working order? If in doubt, have a profes-sional evaluation.Mounting HolesLockingTabInsertFirstPULLDOWNTabInsertLast3V CR123A3V CR123ACLOSEOPENAlignmentMarksBackplateTabsMountingSurfaceDetector
Family Escape PlanningThere is often very little time between the detection of a fireand the time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very impor-tant that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.• Every family member should participate in the escape plan.• Study the possible escape routes from each location within thehouse. Since many fires occur at night, special attention shouldbe given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.• It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible withoutopening the interior door. Consider the following when makingyour escape plans:• Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside areeasily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and thatthe locking mechanisms operate smoothly.• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the eld-erly or handicapped, plans for their rescue should be devel-oped. This plan includes making sure that those who are toperform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder orrope should be provided, as well as training in its use.• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure toremove snow from exterior patio doors in the winter and thatoutdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.• The family should have a predetermined assembly point whereeveryone can be accounted for; for example, across the streetor 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 firstor attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescuebelongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, donot re-enter the house; wait for the Fire Department.• Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that shouldan emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do.Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when thereare more or fewer family members in the home or if there arechanges to the house.• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conduct-ing weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation,contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.• DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Departmentand request further information on home fire safety and escapeplanning. If available, have your local fire prevention officerconduct an in-house fire safety inspection.Testing Your Smoke DetectorFollow the test procedure described here or contact yoursmoke detector dealer or installer for testing instructions. DSCrecommends that you test the entire alarm system at leastonce a week to verify the operation of all system functions.Smoke Detector Unit TestInitiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds (min.), thesounder makes clicking noises during this time. Press the buttonuntil the unit alarm sounds, an alarm should be sent to the con-trol panel. When the button is released, the alarm should cease.If this does not occur, ensure batteries are the correct type, ingood condition and are installed correctly (see 3. Install Bat-teries in the Installation Instructions section). Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector,check the unit’s sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. Totest the sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stickaround the outside of the unit until a generous amount ofsmoke enters the sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If thesmoke detector does not function properly, call your smokedetector installer or dealer for service.Owners MaintenanceThe smoke detector is designed to require minimum mainte-nance. If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brushattachment. If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with asoft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water.Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no user ser-viceable parts inside the unit. You may only remove detectorfrom backplate to replace batteries if not serviced by installer.When replacing the batteries, follow the instructions specifiedwithin the Installation Instructions, Item 3 Install Batteries.

Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alertoccupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors mayhave been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smokedetectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closeddoors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence orbuilding.Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smokedetectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not providetimely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed,violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-trical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there isinsufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.Warning: Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely testedon a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminaltampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform asexpected.Important Information: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Secu-rity Controls could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.FCC Compliance StatementCAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by DSC could void yourauthority to use this equipment.This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and usedproperly, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference toradio and television reception.
