SETTING UP AND ESTABLISHING THE
NETWORK
Setting Up
Notes on networking the radio-inter-
linked smoke alarm (abbreviated here
to RISA or "alarm"):
The alarm should only be activated as
described in this manual:
Activation and setup of radio groups:
The alarms must ONLY be set up
• singly
• one after another
• in direct proximity to their intended
installation position (in the room in
which each unit will be used).
Do not network alarms that are less
than 1 m apart – signal overlap –
faults in network setup
Radio group: at least two,
maximum 15 RISAs
• All networked units of the same
radio group will issue an alarm
when at least one RISA of this group
detects smoke or temperatures
typical of fire
• The first alarm to be activated is
temporarily assigned the "master"
function (of establishing and mana-
ging the radio group)
• This first-activated alarm should
be fitted in a central position
(e.g. landing or corridor)
Common radio group: is also a
normal radio group
• where one or more radio groups
(e.g. a flat) are linked to a specific
radio group (e.g. stairway), this
becomes a common radio group.
• All interlinked alarms of a radio
group trigger an alarm (e.g. in a
flat)
• All alarms of the common radio
group (e.g. stairway) will also, after
a delay period of roughly 60
seconds, issue alarms if they are
linked as a common radio group to
the radio group of the flat
• Alarms are transferred only from the
– 42 –
radio group (e.g. flat) to the
common radio group (e.g. stairway)
• There is no transfer in the other di-
rection, from the common radio
group (e.g. stairway) to the radio
group (e.g. flat)
• Up to 14 radio groups can be inter-
linked to a common radio group
• A radio group cannot be linked
to a common radio group and
also with other radio groups
Setting Up the "Master":
Remove the black activation pin
(which also acts as activation protec-
tion); but this will still be needed.
Press red activation button

No other RISA yet found
as this is the first one to
be started up. Once the

continue as follows to

Mode and creating a Radio Group
• When setting up the network always
ensure to link each additional alarm
to the master.
• Set up each additional RISA in a
position close to its final installation
