Introduction
This user manual provides essential information for the operation of X-Sense smoke alarms and base station. It is crucial to read this manual thoroughly before installation and use. For users who will not be operating the device, this manual should be left with them.
The X-Sense smoke alarms, including the XS01-M model, comply with the European standard EN 14604:2005+AC:2008 and are designed to detect smoke.

The app also provides push notifications to your smartphone, enabling immediate action in case of danger. The XS01-M smoke alarms can also be interconnected wirelessly without the base station.
