How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms

The wireless interlinked alarms contain a built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more interlinked alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound. The X-Sense Link+ wireless interconnected alarms contain wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense alarms, but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.

The X-Sense wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected, and the alarms in each multi-pack have their own independent interlinked network. If you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to connect them all to the same network. Choose one multi-pack as your base network and connect the other multi-packs to it.

NOTE: The following instructions regarding wireless interconnection are applicable to the X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms only.

How to Interconnect

1. Make sure you only work with 2 units at a time, and make sure that they are both turned on to ensure successful connection.

NOTE: To turn on XS01-M, pull out the battery insulating film from the battery compartment. To learn how to turn on different models of wireless interlinked alarms, please refer to their specific user manuals for more details.

2. Quickly press the test/silence button ▶️/? on one of the 2 units 4 times; it will beep once and the red LED will flash slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode and is waiting for a new unit to be added. Quickly press the test/silence button ▶️/? on the other unit twice; it will beep once and the red LED will flash rapidly, indicating it is searching for a device to connect to.
3. After the search is successful and an interconnected group is created, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode. At this point, both units will only flash once every 60 seconds, indicating they are in normal standby mode.
4. If you want to connect a third alarm to this group, first activate a new device by pulling out the battery insulating film, then quickly press the test/silence button ▶️/? on either of the 2 previously interconnected units 4 times. This unit will beep once, and the red LED will flash slowly, indicating it is ready to add a new device to the network. Next, quickly press the test/silence button ▶️/? on the new unit twice, and the red LED will flash rapidly, as it searches for a network to connect to. After the third unit successfully joins the interconnected network, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode.
5. If you want to connect more units, simply repeat step 4. Up to 24 alarms can be interconnected this way. To ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you only work with 2 units at a time—one unit enters the pairing mode and the other unit enters the searching mode.
6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section "Alarm Test."

NOTES

1. The alarm will enter the searching mode or the pairing mode for 60 seconds with the red LED flashing. After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. If needed, press the test/silence button ▶️/? once while the alarm is in the searching mode or the pairing mode, and the red LED will stop flashing and the alarm will quit the pairing mode to enter normal status.
2. Test all wireless alarms to ensure they are interconnected before installation.
3. A maximum of 24 wireless alarms can be interconnected on the same network.
4. The model can only be interconnected with other X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms.

How to Disconnect

Quickly press the test/silence button ▶️/? 4 times; the smoke alarm will beep once. Then, hold down the button until it beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can be reconnected to the same network, or added to a new network.

NOTE: The X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. To create a new network, you will first need to disconnect each alarm individually in this multi-pack to avoid having them all join the same network.

Alarm Test

Be sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or when the group configuration has changed. In addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning from a long trip or vacation.

If your X-Sense XS01-M smoke alarm is interconnected to other X-Sense Link+ wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual alarm is tested during the weekly test.

NOTES

1. The devices connected to the base station can only be tested individually. The interconnected devices that are not connected to the base station can be tested by holding down the test/silence button ▶️/? on one of the devices.
2. The test function accurately tests the alarm's smoke sensing circuit without the need to test with smoke. If your smoke alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please refer immediately to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Never use an open flame to test this device.

LED Indicator and Audible Alarm

Alarm Mode

For devices connected to the base station:

• When an alarm is triggered, an in-app message will appear and an alarm push notification will be sent to your smartphone.
• When one alarm is triggered, all devices connected to the system and the base station will sound an alarm simultaneously.
• The base station will automatically mute after 10 minutes of continuous alarm. After the base station stops the alarm, all devices in the interconnected system will still alarm.
• In the case that the base station powers off and is disconnected from the network, all devices are still interconnected, so when one alarm is triggered, all will go off.
• The volume level of the base station is adjustable. The alarms and base station can be remotely muted through the app. An app push notification will be sent to your phone when the smoke drops below the alarm threshold.

1. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke: When one XS01-M smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with red LED flashing. Any other units will follow suit—they will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession (or only red LED flashing for XS01-M). When the smoke concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.
2. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO: When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other units will follow suit—they will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep (or only red LED flashing for XS01-M). When the CO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.

For more details, please see “LED Indicator and Audible Alarm".

NOTES

1. When one unit is triggered, other interconnected units will sound. If the smoke alarm and CO alarm are triggered in the network at the same time, the alarm signal of the smoke alarm will take priority over that of the CO alarm.

2. This alarm has a relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection coverage.

Silence Mode

You can silence the device by pressing the test/silence button ▶️/? on the device or tapping the silence button in the app.

If you press the silence button ▶️/? during an alarm state, the unit will be in the silence mode for 9 minutes. During the silence mode, the red LED will flash once every 5 seconds. The alarm will enter the normal mode after 9 minutes.

NOTES

1. You can silence all interconnected units by pressing the test/silence button ▶️/? on one of the units. If one unit is still alarming, it is the initiating unit (the unit that detected danger); to silence all interlinked units, you must also press the test/silence button ▶️/? on the initiating unit.
2. While interconnected, the initiating unit cannot be triggered again during the 9-minute silence duration. However, all other interconnected units can be triggered again if they detect danger during the silence mode.

Technical Specifications

NOTES

1. Battery life is calculated on the current ratings in the standby mode with weekly testings. If its operation mode changes to an alarming condition, the battery life will be decreased accordingly.

2. The smoke alarm functions between 40 and 100°F (4.4 and 37.8°C). Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside of this range can reduce battery life and affect accuracy. We do not recommend operating the device outside of this range.

Maintenance

To keep your smoke alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:

1. Verify the unit's alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing the unit once a week.
2. As a minimum your smoke alarm should be cleaned once every 3 months: Remove the unit from the ceiling and clean the alarm cover and vents with your vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt.
3. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect fire.
6. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
7. When removed, place the smoke alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fire.
8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
