For Your Safety

Choosing the Installation Location

? Ensure there are no obstructions in ceiling mounting locations, such as pipes or cables.

Installing the Base

? Only install the product indoors in a standalone or wired interconnected setup (see Interconnecting smoke alarms).

? Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly painted or otherwise electrically conductive (e.g. metallic surfaces).

Mounting and Connecting the Smoke Alarm

Follow the illustrations:

1. Strip the active, neutral and interconnect (if used) wires back to the strip length shown here. (Diagram: Shows wires being stripped to a length of 10 mm. The overall cable length from the entry point to the terminal connection is approximately 50 mm. The cable is specified as 220-240 V a.c. with a minimum size of 1.5 mm².)

2. Connect wires to terminals on the base and ensure the screws are fully tightened. (Diagram: Illustrates the wiring connection to the base terminals. Terminals are labeled 'A' (Active/Line), 'N' (Neutral), and 'I' (Interconnect). Wires are shown connected to their respective terminals, with screws tightened. The 'INTERCONNECT' terminals are also visible.)

3. Clip terminal cover closed to avoid contact with live terminals. (Diagram: Shows the terminal cover being closed over the connected wires to ensure safety and prevent contact with live terminals.)

4. Screw the base on to the ceiling. (Diagram: Depicts the mounting base being screwed onto a ceiling surface.)

5. Clip the smoke alarm into the base. (Diagram: Shows the smoke alarm unit being aligned and clipped onto the mounted base.)

6. Use gentle pressure to latch the smoke alarm onto the base (take care to align the pins and terminals). (Diagram: Illustrates applying gentle pressure to the smoke alarm unit to securely latch it onto the base, emphasizing the need to align pins and terminals.)

Note: When 755PSMA2/4 alarms are used, ensure the 9V battery is fitted prior to mounting.

Interconnecting Smoke Alarms

Follow the illustrations: (Diagram: Shows a series of smoke alarm bases wired together in a loop. Terminals are clearly labeled: 'A' (Active/Line), 'N' (Neutral), 'I' (Interconnect), and 'E/LOOP' (Earth or Loop). The wiring for a 220-240 V a.c. supply is shown, with Black wire connected to Neutral (N) and Red wire to Active (A). The 'INTERCONNECT' (I) connection between bases is highlighted.)

When connecting 755PSMA2/4 smoke alarms: The smoke alarm base will only close with a battery installed. Do not attempt to close without a battery installed.

Interconnecting smoke alarms: (See Interconnecting smoke alarms illustrations)

• Always test operation after adding or removing smoke alarms to an interconnection setup.
• Only one 755RFB2 wireless base allowed per wired interconnection circuit with other Clipsal smoke alarms.

TERMINAL

• A: Active/Line
• I: Interconnect
• N: Neutral
• E/LOOP: Earth or Loop

Wireless Interconnection Pairing between 755RFB2

Make sure each alarm is fitted to a base and power is connected before setting up interconnection.

(Diagram: Shows the top of a smoke alarm base. Two buttons are indicated: 'A SMOKE ALARM TEST/HUSH BUTTON' and 'B WIRELESS PAIRING BUTTON'. An arrow points to the wireless pairing button, with text advising to 'USE A NON-CONDUCTIVE TOOL TO PRESS THE BUTTON'. It is noted that the LED inside the housing illuminates when pressed.)

Note: Smoke alarm must latch onto base before wireless interconnection pairing.

1. Select one of wireless bases as MASTER. Place the MASTER label near the wireless Test button. Treat all other units as SLAVE units.
2. On the MASTER, use a pen to press wireless pairing button 3 times quickly (within 2 s). The unit is now in pairing mode indicated by the LED remaining on for 2 minutes.
3. To exit pairing mode, press wireless pairing button three times quickly. The red LED turns off.
4. While the MASTER unit's LED is on, press wireless pairing button 3 times quickly (within 2 seconds) on one SLAVE. The SLAVE unit's LED will flash 3 times indicating successful interconnection.
5. If SLAVE unit does not flash its LED 3 times but stays ON, the wireless connection failed. Check the range or reduce the distance between units and make sure the MASTER unit's LED remains ON while operating the SLAVE unit.
6. Repeat step 3 on all other SLAVE units.
7. After all units have been paired and MASTER unit's LED turns off, select one interconnected unit. Press and hold the smoke alarm Test/Hush button for more than 8 s until the second bi-bi-bi is finished. Check other wireless interconnected units receive the RF signal and alarm sounds.

Wireless Interconnection Pairing between 755RFB2 and 755LPSMA4

1. Select one of 755RFB2 or 755LPSMA4 as MASTER. Place the MASTER label on this unit. Treat all other units as SLAVE units.
2. Power on all units.
3. On the MASTER unit, press wireless pairing button of 755RFB2 or press Test/Hush button of 755LPSMA4 3 times quickly (within 2 seconds). The unit is now in pairing mode indicated by the LED remaining on.
4. While the MASTER unit's LED is on, press wireless pairing button of 755RFB2 or press Test/ Hush button of 755LPSMA4 3 times quickly (within 2 seconds) on one SLAVE unit. The SLAVE unit's LED will flash 3 times on 755RFB2 or green LED remaining on for 3 seconds on 755LPSMA4 indicating successful interconnection.
5. Repeat step 4 on all other SLAVE units.
6. After all units have been paired and MASTER unit's LED turns off, select one interconnected unit. Press and hold the smoke alarm Test/Hush button for more than 8 s until the second bi-bi-bi is finished. Check other wireless interconnected units receive the RF signal and alarm sounds.

Wired and Wireless Interconnection Setup

Important Note: Follow these steps if combining both wired and wireless interconnection.

1. Complete the Interconnection smoke alarms setup for each group of wired alarms.
2. Set the Global/Local switch on the smoke alarm fitted to each 755RFB2 base to Global.
3. Complete the Wireless Interconnection pairing steps to finish the pairing on all 755RFB2 bases.
4. Select one smoke alarm in each wired group separately and press and hold the smoke alarm Test/Hush button for >8 seconds. Check all wired and wireless interconnected alarms sound and stop after ~1 min.

Remote Test/Hush Function

The Remote Test/Hush feature is controlled by the smoke alarm. Wireless bases provide optional connection for Remote Test/Hush buttons (dry contact momentary remote switches e.g. Clipsal bell press switches).

Connection Options for Remote Test/Hush Buttons

• Connect remote buttons as either separate Test and Hush buttons, or as a single Test/Hush button to perform both functions.
• Wiring capacity of each terminal is 2×1.5 mm² cables.
• Combination terminal screw head type.
• Max. cable length to Remote Test/Hush switch is 20 m.

Test Function (when no smoke present)

Test the LOCAL smoke alarm

Press and hold either the Remote Test button or the Local Test/Hush button and release within 4 seconds. Only the local smoke alarm will sound.

Test the LINKED smoke alarms

Press and hold either Remote Test button or Local Test/Hush button for more than 8 seconds. The linked alarms will sound.

Test wirelessly interconnected alarms

After 8 seconds, a signal is sent to all alarms. When the wireless linked alarms detect the signal, they sound until the signal is no longer transmitted.

? After Test/Hush button has been pressed, wait 10 mins before any additional testing is conducted to avoid any abnormal alarm responses as units have reduced sensitivity during this period.

Hush Function - When Smoke Present

To hush a smoke alarm, identify the alarm that triggered by the flashing red LED (alarm will not silence if it does not have a flashing red LED.) Pressing the local Test/Hush button or the remote hush button will silence the alarm.

All smoke alarms that are interconnected will also fall silent.

If multiple interconnected alarms have detected smoke and are flashing red LEDs, press the Remote Hush button or the local Test/Hush button on each alarm to silence.

? After pressing Test/Hush button, wait 10 minutes prior to additional testing to avoid abnormal responses, as alarms have reduced sensitivity during this period.

Disposal

It is recommended to dispose of this device at an authorised electronic waste collection point. Professional recycling protects people and the environment against potential negative effects.
