RF-Link Introduction

Up to 28 Alarms can be interconnected wirelessly via the RF-Link function .The RF-Link module is optional, ensure the correct model has been supplied.
Prior to RF Coding, ensure that all system Alarms are correctly wired, powered and functioning independently.

1. Normal Status: LED Off
2. RF Status LED Red Flashing: Primary Alarm
3. RF Status LED; Green Flashing: Successful Coding
4. The RF Coding Switch is located on the side of the Alarm, marked with the Tool symbol.

RF-Link Coding

The first Alarm that enters RF Coding Mode will be assigned as the ‘PRIMARY’, all other Alarms will be assigned as a ‘SECONDARY’. It is important to mark the PRIMARY Alarm with the label provided for future servicing of the system.

Step 1.
Using the supplied pairing tool press and hold the RF Coding Switch on one of the system’s Alarms for a minimum of 3 seconds and release when the RF Status LED flashes Red.

1. Primary

Step 2.
While the PRIMARY Alarm is in coding mode, at the next Alarm press the RF Coding Switch 3 times and the RF Status LED will turn Green to confirm successful coding. Repeat the process on the remaining Alarms.

Note: RF Coding Mode will be active for 30 minutes before auto time out.

1. Primary
2. LED Off

Step 3.
Once all the Alarms have been coded to the PRIMARY Alarm, return to the PRIMARY Alarm and single press the RF Coding Switch and the RF Status LED will stop flashing. RF Coding Mode has now ended.

Step 4.
After coding is completed, test each individual Alarm and check that all interconnected Alarms sound the horn.

Note: There may be up to a 10 second delay for the coded Alarms to respond after pressing the Test/Hush button.

Deleting a device will reset the coding of an Espire alarm.

Hybrid System

A hybrid system is a system that uses both hardwired interconnected alarms, as well as RF-Link interconnected alarms.
Up to 28 alarms can be interconnected, this is inclusive of both hardwired & RF-link devices.
To achieve this, at least one of the hardwired alarms will require an ES1RF to connect to the hardwired interconnected alarms.
